RUINS QUEST PART II

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHhpFGmmUMU&list=PLuu7gfeeGV4TKifRVuYQCVEIU1lGJoIhG&index=1

After waking up in the ruins of a major city without any clothes or memories and with an unhealthy amount of metal lodged in your chest you headed out in search of answers.

This strange world is filled with all sorts of nightmarish creatures and signs of some sort of tragedy, but to your surprise, everyone you've met thus far has been entirely civil, if a bit strange.

In an abandoned mall you met a group of living mannequins with keen business senses. In order to prevent hypothermia, you signed a contract saying that you'll pay them 350 "Ahnt" (some sort of currency) in exchange for some clothes. After leaving the mall you went east and found a well-maintained bar owned buy a skeleton who seemed to be somewhat afraid of you. He offered you 150 Ahnt to deliver some fliers to his business partner and friend on the west side of town and you agreed. Deep, down in the tunnels that run between subway platforms you found a moving statue of an angel crying her eyes out over... something. Up until now you had been a shining beacon of rational diplomacy, why stop now?

You are Comfortable, hungry, tired, and 350 Ahnt in debt. You're wearing a dank-white tee and leather pants with rain boots and an umbrella. This attire provides protection from rain and limited protection from exposure. You also have a packet of waterproof fliers

You suddenly reach an area where the light stops moving. There's still much more tunnel but it refuses to go forward. You wait for a moment, hoping that it'll fix itself. after a few mock step to goad it into progressing it shoots forward leaving you behind and stopping about 100 feet away over the head of what appears to be a statue of an angel weeping at the side of the tunnel.

The statue's weeping doesn't become audible until the light makes a full stop over it, and even then it fades in slowly, as if it's a recording of some sort that someone's cranking the volume on, but the statue is certainly moving. Suddenly the crying stops and it lies there motionless. The light flickers a bit before turning a dim yellow like the ones back on the platform. It backtracks it's path to return to your side before flickering again and regaining it's white luster. The statue, now obscured by darkness, resumes weeping. You cautiously stride forward in an attempt to reach out to the statue. You bend down and put your hand on it's shoulder. "What's wrong" It looks up at you and sniffles a bit before replying, "N-nothing." It's clear that there's something wrong. You shrug and start to walk away but it starts crying louder as if to call you back. You stop moving and the intensity of her cries stops increasing. You head back and the crying quiets down a bit. It seems. Perhaps she just doesn't want to hurt her pride by directly asking for help.

You decide to continue on your way westward and not to let the statue's problems slow you down. Continuing down the path you notice that the warmth you once felt starts to fade. Your lungs skip a beat of their rhythmic respiration at the murky air now pouring out from the end of the tunnel. In the distance you can hear dripping, signifying that somewhere up ahead is flooded, just like the mall was. Preparing for the worst but hoping for the best you press onward, with the single-mindedness of someone on a mission.

Almost ten minutes pass before you come to a fork in the tunnel. The left side says "Home." The right side says "Watering Hole." Looking as far as you can down each one you can't see much of a difference between the two. It seems that the dripping noise is coming from the right. The left is dead silent.

You decide to go left. There's no telling what could be in that water. As you continue down the tunnel it starts to look more like the familiar yellow stone from before. A light. Looks like this is the end here.

You step off of the sturdy road of bricks and concrete into a muddy sludge. Good thing you had those rain boots. Looking around you see an assortment of barely held together buildings made of scraps and propped up in what seems to be a large cavity dug out of the subways and sewers. Or perhaps it's just been that long since these original structures were built and decay has already had its way with the infrastructure of this city. Who knows. You sure don't. Clutching your stack of fliers you head down the muddy path in search of the Barkeepers friend. You try to think of what the most likely place to find them would be but you draw a blank. Suddenly you realize that you actually don't know anything about them. He was in too much of a hurry to throw you out of the bar. Oh, well, it can't be too difficult to figure it out. The thought of just asking around crosses your mind. It'll certainly be easier than backtracking.

To the north is a ladder heading to the surface streets.

To the south is an assortment of dwellings that seem to be over-crowded

To the west there seems to be businesses. You can't tell exactly what kind from where you're standing. It's too far away.

To the east is the entrance to the subway tunnels

Right next to you there's a river of sewage and rainwater with a raft in it. On the raft are some faceless men in red robes with some crates and garbage.

You turn to the raft and try to garner some attention. Everyone just keeps working as before except for a single hooded boatman carrying a small monkey-like creature.
