    Batu's ears perk up. His curiosity is piqued and his awkwardness is further abated.

    "Sounds like you can make a great many things. And some of them are magical."

    Road Pirate Pit Stop

    "That's strange," Fayyaad says. Assuming Erasmus shares the rest of the information with him, or he reads it himself, he adds: "This place isn't where I'd picture a magic artifact being hidden. And if he tortured a woman's ghost, maybe she just told him what he wanted to hear so he'd stop. Then again, appearances can be deceiving."

    He didn't think it was here, nor that the Road Pirates had it. Just that there were clues as to where it was here.

    On the subject, if this doesn't look like the place a magical artefact is hidden, wouldn't that make it the perfect place to hide one?

    I don't actually have anything further to say right now, unless Fayyaad or Erasmus are interested in looking around the rest of the cabin, or indeed the other buildings on-site; the Club President revealed that an armoury is hidden in the girl's shower block, though breaking into it might not please the bikers. There's also the petrol station's main building, and a cave behind the waterfall in the canyon wall.

    "Oh, well, no! Maybe?" Div flushes and finds excuses to look elsewhere. "I-I mean, I've never done anything ganderous or flashific like wizard magic. But I think the charms might help. Sometimes. With little things."

    Erasmus decides it might be best to search around some more. "Maybe 'e left more info in 'is room?" He goes to the bedroom, taking the book and pen with him.

    Fayyaad opts to search the main building, after gathering all the necromancer's items to divide up later. He wonders if the bikers who hired MERC knew why the necromancer attacked.

    The bedroom has also been trashed! Erasmus' invisible servant was shockingly quick, or maybe the place was already a mess. There's a large double bed, though the mattress has been pushed to the floor and the bed's sturdy oak frame has been attacked by an axe or sword in several places, looking for hidden compartments. None were found. The wardrobe hangs open, one door propped against a wall, all the clothes contributing to the mess on the floor. The back of the wardrobe has been shattered, revealing a safe hidden behind a false back; the safe is closed, probably locked, and bears scars from recent blows by a bladed implement. A chest of drawers with an old portable television on top has been emptied, adding spare bedsheets, spare towels and underwear to the chaos on the floor. The television's screen has been shattered and the case hacked open, the insides spilling out. A book case stands against the wall, oddly looking untouched amongst the mess. Lying in a heap across the shattered bed frame are a collection of bones, mostly human with some cattle ones mixed in, and topped by a shiny-new steel scimitar with a massive black stone set into the pommel and a small bear's skull.

    Poking around the detritus on the floor will find shards from a broken mirror, enchanted to show reflections of the opposite gender. A hand-high copper figurine of a laughing girl, just entering her teens; Erasmus will feel happier just looking at it (because that's what it's enchanted to do). A box of shotgun shells, containing four birdshot, two slugs, three buckshot and a silver slug. A full silk tuxedo, scattered around; each component part enchanted so it doesn't crease, fits whomever puts it on and automatically cleans itself whenever it's taken off, and a matching bowler hat that will cause projectiles to veer away from the wearer. The safe's key isn't immediately visible, and can't be found on the floor.

    The bookcase contains many strange and rare works, though most of it isn't magical or even necessarily interesting. First edition copies of classic science fiction novels, mostly, including Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and H. P. Lovecraft. Also Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy, and all the Discworld books. There's some exceptions- a guide to European birds, several dictionaries (including one in German) and a book about alchemy.

    Fayyaad finds the petrol station has a small counter with an old-fashioned clockwork till of heavy iron and brass on it. Next to it is a bulky machine with space to place six orbs inside, marked as a 'Pocket PokeCentre'. There's two rows of aisles, one packed up heavily on snack food, batteries and other consumables, the other selling magazines, newspapers and books that bikers might be interested in. Quite a lot of the latter are adult magazines, and most are very old- the pit stop is well out of the way, and hard to get to. They don't get deliveries often, if at all. One of the more interesting magazines is called 'The Wasteland Survival Guide: Water Aerobics for Ghouls'; it looks hand-printed, with a crude, hand-drawn cover. There's four bodies in here; two dead bikers, one pile of bones and one dead resident. The bikers are wearing biker leathers, one being a female hybrid orc/elf and the other being a male dwarf. The dwarf has an axe at his waist, enchanted so it ignites when it gets blood on it, and the other has an AER9 laser pistol. The resident wears a striped apron over greasy yellow overalls, and they're human. He has the key to the till in his apron's pouch, along with a derringer. There's also a drinks cooler, with a lot of water, cans of beer and various colas in it, as well as healing potions.

    Erasmus looks around. The fragments of mirror confuse him. He's not sure what the purpose of such an item is. He picks up one of the fragments, glances at it to see if it still works, then puts it on his harness. He'll find a knowledgeable humanoid wizard to ask about the purpose of the mirror later. He then inspects the bookshelf. Erasmus is sorely tempted to take some of the older discworld books, but decides against it. He then searches the wardrobe and the chest of drawers to see what can be found in either, especially looking for the key to the safe.

    Fayyaad opts to look through the magzine. The necromancer's writings said there are supposed to be clues to the necromantic artifact here... and it could mean just about anything. So he might as well start in unlikely places. And there seems to be little of interest in the petrol station otherwise.

    Div's ears flick, and he grins. "Very good then. Hmm. Let's see..."

    Div starts to get a few things out of his pack, his eyes darting between Batu and his collection. He takes a knife to what looks like a small piece of bone or stone, applies some paint, and mutters a few verses of some chant over the object in a soft voice.

    What he finally hands Batu resembles the eggshell-white tooth of a crocodile or some other titan lizard. It is painted with the image of an eye peering out from beneath a rushing river. The wavering lines to represent the water have been carved carefully into the object, and Div has punched a hole through the top of the tooth. Through this he threads a red string.

    He passes a hand over it one more time as it rests in his palm, and speaks a single pair of syllables. "Shi'ka," he extends it toward Batu. Blushing, but still smiling just slightly, without showing his teeth. "For you."

    If Batu lets Div, he'll put it on over the hob's head. He has to get up closer and kneel in front of him to do so. "May you remain fierce in your purpose, and safe in your travels watched over by the Sivn-Galláe, the spirits of the realm beneath the river." He settles the charm down, and laughs, blushing. "I am supposed to kiss your head now, to complete the ritual. The forest witches do so. I can probably skip that part though."

    Mostly the mirror is to confuse people who find it. But the pieces do still have the effect working on them- which is unusual. Most items of mine lose their power when destroyed. The key is underneath the shattered television. It's a tiny little portable one, easy enough to move, though the necromancer didn't think to do it.

    Inside, the safe is bigger than it should be- it extends pretty far. There's three maps, two of the canyon area and one of a dense forest, all showing a different pit stop like this one. An ornate, flintlock rifle with ivory inlaid into a polished teak stock and fine brass furniture, plus enough peripheral gunpowder, lead bullets and wadding for fifteen shots; the rifle is enchanted to add magical force to each shot and to never misfire- no flashes in the pan, and each bullet as effective as it had been fired from a more modern firearm. A jewellery box, containing a white jade ring, a pair of delicate platinum fish-shaped earrings, a gold ring shaped like a snake eating its own tail, and a lump of stone imbued with energy. A silver telescope in a black leather case. A ram's horn made of red jasper, which keeps the holder warm. And a statue of a naked lady dancing with a snake; the snake is black marble, the lady white, and it's all one solid lump of stone.

    Fayyaad will find the magazine quite informative. It has a number of useful tips and hints about swimming, and also gives some advice on how to detect and monitor contaminants in water that may harm a swimmer. If he couldn't swim before, it offers enough advice to get him started, and if he could, it might help him swim faster. Unfortunately, all of the other magazines are about naked ladies, large bikes, or naked ladies riding large bikes.

    For anatomical reasons, Erasmus can't use rifles, so he doesn't take anything from the safe. He closes it, locks it again, and goes out to check the other rooms.

    This might be useful if Fayyaad ever finds himself having to survive in a wasteland, but for now it's not terribly relevant to his situation. He leaves the petrol station and heads towards the waterfall cave.

    [In the Woods]

    Batu swallows. This got from interesting to awkward again really quickly. It's giving him whiplash. But he soldiers on bravely.

    "That... shouldn't be necessary, no," he manages. "That was... not unlike what shamans of my tribe did. They also crafted charms and asked spirits to watch over those wearing them. Though there was a lot more chanting... I think they also did some drugs."

    The main room is pretty boring. It's trashed, yes, but there's not much of interest. There's a burnt sofa, the large TV and a kitchenette. The kitchenette has a fridge, with a wide open door and showing... Not too much food. The cabinets are all open, with pots, pans, tinned food and bottled water strewn about. The larder is locked, but the key's not hidden; inside it's very neat, and filled with more tinned food, plus bags of flour, sugar, coffee and tea. The spare bedroom Fayyaad went through, and is trashed, but nobody stayed there for long, so it doesn't have anywhere near as much personality or special items as the main bedroom. The bathroom is likewise a mess; the toilet has been shattered and water (fortunately, just water) coats the tiles, and soaks into the heaped flannels, towels and dressing-gowns scattered about. There's soap as well.

    About the only things of major interest are a magic flip lighter in the pocket of the tiefling corpse, one which produces a flame using a magic crystal rather than lighter fluid; a switchblade under the sofa, enchanted so it binds itself to somebody and can then be teleported to the hand of the person to whom it is bound; and a small onyx lizard in the larder that keeps vermin away.

    To get to the cave, Fayyaad walks through the waterfall. He is now wet. The cave itself is a pretty standard limestone hole in the cliff, lit by a mix of sunlight through the waterfall and glowing moss on the damper rocks near the pool. Some of the water from the waterfall flows into the cave, trickling to a narrow crack in the wall, though the crack looks big enough for the average human to squeeze through it- it twists a little, so from this part of the cave, it's impossible to tell where- if anywhere- it leads. There's also a crude fence towards the back made of sheets of corrugated iron, with a flimsy door allowing access.

    Fayyaad is standing there and considering where to go when Erasmus catches up to him.

    "Quite a cave they've got here," he says. "And there's more to it. Our job here is done, with the necromancer dead... but I am curious as to what he was searching for here."

    There's nothing of interest in this first chamber, except the crack leading to darkness and the door in the crude wall. Light is escaping around the edges of the doorway, so there's something behind it.

    "And I think you didn't get what I said. Right now YOU owe ME a favor. I have brought you an enemy for your amusement. So tell me why should I bring you something else without getting something in exchange?"

    Should Johnathan try to read the surface of Arkants mind he will read something like this. He will see pictures of hazelnut, on a tree, in a tree and in a hole, while also thinking about how to hide them. Strange thinking i would say, but in fact Arkant just redirects mind reading to a nearby sapient creature. A squirrel in this case.

    "Yes, I agree. This isn't the kind of item that should be laying around for someone like that necromancer to find." He doesn't trust those bikers with something like that, either. "Let's start with that door." He moves over to try and open the flimsy door.

    "To be honest, I don't know if they needed it, or just liked to get hopped up," Batu half-jokes. Ingesting mind-altering substances does help them commune with spirits and astral echoes, but Batu doesn't know as much about it as he'd like. "And I've never actually used any of the shamans' charms. But I'll be happy to try out yours. If nothing else, it looks fetching."

    "I am no fool, and you are no altruist. You have something to gain from that particular target. Perhaps you are trying to distract someone from your own activities, or maybe you will turn against my forces to raise your own reputation. Either way, I am providing you a service."

    Beyond the crude fence is a small office-like space, with more bare rock walls, floor and ceiling. It's lit by a glowing head-sized faceted crystal held by a statue of a naked, hermaphroditic angel, carved from polished dark grey haematite. It's also clearly the most valuable item in the room. The other furniture is a battered oak desk, missing one of its drawers, with deep scratches and damage to the surface. There's a battered office swizzle chair, with a crude stitch in the padding to repair a rip. A rusty steel three-drawer filing cabinet leans against the wall, all as flat as it possibly can be, given the circumstances. On the wall is a poster of a large monowheel, like that ridden by the club president when she went to MERC. On the desk is an audiograph player, with one of the punch-cards inserted into the device. Three more are stacked haphazardly next to it, and more are in the bottom drawer of the filing cabinet.

    His shadowy form distorts and extends as he grows in size, taking on the form of a grotesque, oversized gargoyle-like creature with long arms ending in vicious claws and a vicious maw layered with teeth. He keeps most of the details hidden away by wreathing himself in black flame once more though. All the better to keep others from seeing himself like this.

    "Excellent. Now hold on..." The construct turns to the others who finally have managed to patch together the torn map again. They carry it over it to Damon and then quickly back away once he has accepted it.

    "Perfect. Let me just consider the coordinates and we will never see one another again." Then Damon will be gated to Seaside.

    Erasmus doesn't see anything he should immediately look into, so he lets Fayaad search first.

    "Those are some seriouse accusations." Arkant replies in a normal voice. "Then we can say we are even? If I get anything or not can't be said now, since i don't know much about your army."
