A Wild Dinosaur Appears

A faint growl cuts through the night air, demanding your attention. You turn toward it, and a deinonychus steps gracefully out of the shadows, staring cock-eyed in your direction. It’s four feet tall, with sleek, black plumage and mottled, grey scales. The raised talons on its feet tap the concrete, lending the raptor a bored demeanour.

It’s keeping you distracted, drawing your attention while the other members of its pack move into position. You’re soon surrounded. By dinosaurs.

They may have you surrounded, but dinosaurs are not known for their intellect, despite what Jurassic Park would have you believe. If you can distract them, you might then be able to outrun them.

You’re bigger than they are, and full of piss and vinegar. You think you can take them.

Talk to Ljubica

They call her Ljubica the Gracious. These days she’s made her home on an abandoned lot in Ripton. The ground here is dusty, dry, and cracked. Groups of yellowing weeds sprout from the beige dirt, huddling together for moral support.

Over in the corner, pressed against the chain-link fence, is a large, sun-bleached tent. It may have once been yellow, many years ago.

A very chancy challenge

You throw your hand out, pointing over one of the raptor’s shoulders. “Look!” you shout, “An injured dog!”

To your surprise, it works. Each of them whip their heads around in search of the easy prey. You sneak off while they’re distracted — and by the time they notice your trickery you’ve gained enough of a head-start that you’re able to outrun them. Raptors are sprinters, not endurance runners — this is good to know.

Inside the tent

Go inside

It’s time to meet this Ljubica person.

It is cramped and muggy. The light from a nearby streetlamp filters in through the tent walls - the only source of light - which casts an odd glow on your surroundings. In the middle of the tent is a very small table, and seated on the floor behind it is a large woman. She is covered in what appears to be hundreds of layers of clothing in colours that range from burnt orange to navy blue. She laughs when you enter and beckons you to sit.

You are making progress in your quest.

Your trap gets a little complicated. You start with an empty, metal trash bin, then you slick the inside down with lard. Cardboard ramps offer access to the bin’s opening, and bread you let soak in bacon fat makes for the bait. Once it’s set up, you leave.

You may have overthought it, but the trap is effective. You return a scant few minutes later to find bloated rats trying in vain to scramble up the sides of the bin.

A Wild Dinosaur Appears

A faint growl cuts through the night air, demanding your attention. You turn toward it, and a deinonychus steps gracefully out of the shadows, staring cock-eyed in your direction. It’s four feet tall, with sleek, black plumage and mottled, grey scales. The raised talons on its feet tap the concrete, lending the raptor a bored demeanour.

It’s keeping you distracted, drawing your attention while the other members of its pack move into position. You’re soon surrounded. By dinosaurs.

You throw yourself at the black and grey raptor, letting out an intimidating roar as you grapple it. It kicks at your chest, tearing into your flesh and pushing you away — you’re bleeding, and the other raptors have noticed.

They close in erratically, jumping forward and darting away before you can retaliate — but while the one is retreating, another is advancing.

Desperate, you tackle one of the raptors, ramming it with your shoulder. And then you keep going, trampling the off-balance raptor, snapping its leg underfoot.

One of the raptors gives chase, but breaks off before too long to return to its fellows. They’re attending to the injured dinosaur.

You make a bloody getaway, but at least you’re alive.

A Robbery

A jangle of shattering glass draws your attention to a group of thieves or vandals breaking in to a house. There’s four of them, all with bright hair and dark clothes. They’ve busted all the windows and have moved on to looting the kitchen for junk food.

Stop them

The brawn

A tough challenge

They’re just teenagers looking for a thrill — surely you can handle them on your own.

Call the police

Watch for the fall of a card.

A matter of luck: the odds are strongly against you here.

Stopping them is their job, not yours.

Leave them

It’s not your home they’re breaking into — why stick your nose into it?

Join them

Charm

The smarm

A very chancy challenge

It looks like they’re having fun.

The brawn

A very chancy challenge

They’re young enough that their rebellious phases have not yet fully taken root, and the prospect of getting caught causes them to panic. When you barge in, shoulders squared and the most authoritative expression you have sitting on your face, they all scramble over each other and out the nearest broken window. You dust your hands and leave via the door.

Jack's Boutique Mystique

A small shop just beyond the Keisey Pedestrian District catches your eye.

There are crystal balls and tarot cards on display in the Boutique’s picture windows.

Mystique indeed

The interior of the shop is as sombre as its exterior. The lights are dim, but not so dim as to obscure the wares on display. Heavy curtains frame the door and windows, and thin, airy scarves hang from most of the fixtures. The walls and floor are crowded with shelves, the shelves are crowded with merchandise: dusty bottles full of unfamiliar liquids and powders, animal horns and hooves, herbs and roots, and all manner of other things you have trouble identifying. On the far side of the room you spot a dozen or so empty cat carriers.

There’s a young woman sitting at a table near the cat carriers. When she spots you, she grins and walks over.

You are making progress in your quest.

“Hi!” the woman says, “I’m Jack, and I’ll be your server this evening.” She laughs. She has dark skin and eyes, and her ponytail is a poof of curly black hair that sticks out from under her hat — a battered top hat with a pair of small antlers affixed to the band. She’s also wearing a rumpled but well-tailored suit.

A Curious Shop

The breeze carries an odd, but appetising scent your way.

You can trace its origin to a small, two-story building with a brick façade. A hand-painted sign above the glass door reveals it to be The Katters’ and Zebra’s Inconspicuous Meat Pie-Shop and Tonsorial Parlour. Similarly hand-written signs on the door say ‘Closed’ and ‘Back in 5,’ but you can see people chatting inside.

Always

Always

Go in anyway

Maybe they forgot to take the signs down?

Maybe you should knock first

Their conversation doesn’t look especially amicable, and they don’t look especially friendly.


Sometimes they want you to go

Get real friendly

Charm

The smarm

A high-risk challenge

Invite yourself to a table.

You pick a table with a few people already drinking, and pull up a chair. While you’re waiting to jump into the conversation, it becomes clear that the topic of discussion is a serious one indeed — it sounds like someone died.

While the conversationalists were willing to assume you belonged there when you turned up, your quick departure broadcasts the fact that you were not familiar with the deceased. The looks they shoot you as you leave the bar are ones of disgust and offence.

3 change points, 1 more needed to reach level 4.

Charm is increasing...

Charm 3 failed in a challenge! (When you try a challenge that's difficult for you, you learn more even when you fail.)

Inside the Pie-Shop

“All I’m saying,” the one by the door says, “is that you never complain about the workload when I’m the one behind the counter.”

She’s a tall ket with short, black hair. Her scales are cream and an unsaturated olive - almost an ecru - and her ears are light blue.

The young man behind the counter looks human. He has long, black hair and pale skin. “That’s not--” he says, then sighs. “Look, Katters, are you saying you don’t want to work the counter less often?”

That must make him Zebra.

“Of course I do! The counter sucks and we both know it. We also both know that not working the counter isn’t exactly an option.”
