D: Death
F: Famine
J: Jester
P: Pestilence
W: War

D: Well, half of our job is done. Jester?

J: Yup. Charity money has been given to Croaker. Knowing him, it has
pissed him off beyond reason. Whirlwind is probably either really
liking me or hating me right now.

F: Oh well.

P: It looks like I have a lead on Geiger. It looks bad. I want full
backup on this one because I think it is an ambush. Famine and I
scouted it out earlier.

D: Describe 'bad' for me.

P: Seriously hostile locals. Serious inadequate medical facilities if
they were injured. Plus locals are not offering a bounty. I have
given the information to Jester but I suspect he won't find much.

F: Why are you under-estimating his abilities?

J: Because, my noble lady, people try to forget Ghoul colonies exist.

W: If you look for a way, God will provide it. Looks like we won't
need to worry about finding a method to cover our expenses on this one.

F: Game plan?

D: Time is of the essence, although I would like to know if Doc is
there as well. With any luck, we'll be able to find Doc near Geiger
and be able to do the hit. Once we retrieve them, we will then
consider what's next. Yes, Jester?

J: The clock is ticking.

P: Why do you say that?

J: Our popularity isn't high. Consider our recent actions. I think
someone is (if not many people are) bound to do something about it.

D: That is reasonable. Recommendation is noted. Until this mission is
done, keep outside communications to a minimum. Jester work on the
information that Pestilence has found. Famine work on your toys for
the next round. War and I will scout. Any questions? Good. Until
next time. ]<<<<<
