Summary
On that road again.
Background
A talismonger under the alias of Boatman has recently been tasked with the upgrading of various runners foci and needs them delivered to Phoenix.
The Meet
The runners meet at the waking horrors talismonger shop and book store, where they were greeted by a floating figure with an ominous grin gesturing them into the shop. AFter some degree of hesitation the group of runners entered and looked about the shop lined with foci and talismans of unknowable power and stragne cosmic influence. Also Cthulhu and Dunkelzahn plushee's (which were very cute). Boatman informed the runners of her business and how she required them to drive down towards Phoenix to deliver Talismans she had recently finished for some runners that resided there. A mask, sword, and ring. After some negotiations and a... threat, she agreed to alot the runners more pay than was intitially offered. After deciding who went into which car, where to store the items the runners went on their way. But not before Mojo bought one of the Dunkelzahn plushee's for Zahhak.
The Plan
With Ez-Azael taking Bonfire's car and Zahhak riding in Mojo Joe's alongside Broken-Hand they decided to alot the sword to Mojo Joe's. The Mask and ring being alloted to Ez-Zael and Bonfire. They would link each others cars and lie to the border guards stating their intention was simply to have a fun day in Vegas. With these details in mind the runners headed through checkpoint after checkpoint ready to make their long jounrey to Phoeniz, Arizona.
The Run
The first detour ont heir journey happened in the SSC, where remours of a violent Ghould Gang roaming the highway had been making their rounds. Listening to the officer's advice, the runners took a slight detour around the surrouding woods then into the PCC. Along this way they made a quick rest stop to gather re-supplies and simply stretch about. Some shenanigans about Vegas insued before a seemingly violent group of Bikers made themselves known. But due to the runners figuring a fight was not for the best, the gang went about their business and the road trip continued.
Along the way towards their destination Zahhak and Broken-Hand noticed the figure of a black stag following them in the rear view mirrors. Despite their worry nothing came of the slightly supernatural encounter. Though one more obstacle awaited them on their journey. A giant murder of crows watched the group of runners as they crossed through the desert of the PCC. A beast spirit seemingly leading the murder approached the runners and cawed "danger" repeatedly towards them. The runners looking out their window noticed a massive horde of chickens approaching the cars with likely murderous intent. After noticing these "chickens" were Cockatrice's the petal did indeed hit the metal as both cars sped off as quickly as they could. Once the dust had settled, the conjurers and mage's among the runners gave the crow treats and pets as thanks for the warning as it flew away to help others that may fall prey to the dangers laid in the vast desert plains.
After this the runners finally arrived at what was obviously a runner bar. Where a vast majority of the patrons seemed augmented and ware'd out to hell and back. After a quick assensing there were 3 runners matching the astral descriptions provided. After confirming they had knowledge of the shipment and its contents the other group of runners thanked those from the Haven for their shipment before they parted ways.
Aftermath
In the aftermath of it all, the group of 6 runners and others now enjoy their well deserved pay and what may be a very lovely day amongst the lights of Vegas.
