Please comment on these -- Be brutal! I like the ideas and I really would
like them to work, so I need your help.

LOCATIONS

Ancient Battle Ground / Amerindian Location / 2Y
Owner may turn any Mage or Shaman he/she controls to visit Ancient Battle
Ground and roll D6 adding +1 for every Amerindian runners that you turn.
1-5: Every runner in owner’s safehouse takes 2 pts AP damage
5-8: No effect
9+: Add +2 to the attack OR defense of spirits and spells this runner
controls; runner receives hermit and anti-social. Effects last for the
rest of game.
Burned out and Street Mages/Shaman must roll with a -1 penalty
Flavor: "A man leaves something in there and comes back with something=
else."
[A grassy field covered in fog. The spirits of the ancient warriors hidden
in the fog while the front of one Amerindian runner is seen as he walks out
of the fog. His posture is similar to one who is walking into a dual –
body erect, hands ready at his sides. His eyes are glazed over as with
cataracts and lightning sizzles at his fingertips.]

The Smoke House / Amerindian Location / 2Y
Owner may turn any Amerindian runner to visit the Smoke House. Roll D6.
1-3: Visiting runner takes 2 AP damage
4-6: Target mage or shamen is -1/+1 for one turn
