Scorched Earth: Watch The World Burn
Well, it's been three weeks. You're all pretty sure you're dead by now, though if the Rask horde camping outside the makeshift scrap walls of your village, Brine, has anything to say about it, they're not gonna be quick deaths. And would most likely involve spit roasting, knives, and consumption.......well, unless something is done. Which is exactly why you've all been called up to the meeting yurt.....summoned by the chief, Sept. Most of you weren't even born here, like half of the forty or so people in the settlement, but apparently, getting summoned is no small deal.Your lightly armed escort stops outside of the yurt. It's a tall building, sewn up from various skins of rather dangerous desert critters....enteledonts, flesh wolves....hell, you think you spot a mi-go hide stuck on near the top. Chief must've been one helluva hunter back in the day. The escort, a tall mutant with slender, insectile features, slowly gestures to the thin metal door with his free hand, the other clutching a crude flintlock pistol. "Sept is expecting you. Please show your utmost respect, this is.....important, as you may guess.

It would be best to obey; you're not held in the highest regards of this community. The insect mutant peels back the scrap door, gesturing once again. Inside, a small fire is burning on a few planks of witch-wood. An older mutant with obvious rodent features sits cross-legged across the fire, a large, four-part mouth dominating his entire face. He opens his eyes slowly, revealing them to be a brilliant gold, with no actual pupils or white, just glowing orbs. "Ah! Come in, come in!" He says calmly, in a voice much more pleasant than you'd expect, given his appearance and the situation.
(Bit of a short opener, I apologize, it's rather late where I am and just wanted to start things up. Updates shall be lengthier later and in non-combat situations)
