Ah-wendigo,

In the sprawl, the mighty sprawl,

In the sprawl, the nasty sprawl,
The ork sleeps tonight...
Hehehehehehe...
I can remember my first encounter with a wendigo, actually there were
about half a dozen. I was a rigger, we had a decker, a mage, and three
sammies. We were heading cross country (heading for a small town, needed
to lay low), and I offered to drive everyone in my armoured van. The
decker and the mage accepted, but the three sammies wouldn't be caught
dead in my beat up old van, so one of them had bought (or stolen, can't
remember, and not that my character would ask) a brand new, bright red,
4x4 half-ton.
We stopped in a small town, round noon, and noticed that it was almost
empty, nothing in it except for a few starving dogs, and a couple of
really thin, really scared human, who ran off when we approached. So,
figuring no one would care, we picked an empty house as ours, and decided
to make this town our hidey hole. At dusk is when all the really wierd
things happened. Seems as though some of the population of the town had
caught HMHVV, and these unfortunates came for us in the night. We barely
(very barely) made it to our vehicles, and we tore off into the night,
heading for the open highway...to be met by six wendigos, which ambushed
us. Now my van was armoured, so I had enough time to deply my turreted
light machine gun (which didn't kill them, but peeled them off of my van).
Now, the little red pickup wasn't armoured, or armed (except for the
sammies), and when I saw the drivers door torn off, I had to stop and
help...man, the wendigos could have made an excellent F1 pit crew, cause
they stipped that truck to almost nothing, in no time...
Lets just say that our party stayed in the big city for a long, long time,
before heading out into the country again...
