T-794: Wade’s Prime
The team follows the road from the castle, and finds themselves at a crossroads. They head out to the ‘East’, towards the town of ‘Wadeville’. Once there, they are greeted by a farmer who’s demeanor is strange… ‘Dude, stay in character’ is his one piece of advice. They leave him at his post, and continue on to the Inn of the Welcome Wench. Their, they find a tavern straight out of a fantasy novel, but some of the locals seem like they might not be… local.
After meeting Dave and Tom they discover that this world works similar to an MMO, except not everyone is a willing participant. Some of the ‘staff’ seem brainwashed, or charmed, and some seem like bad ren-fest actors. Tom takes them on a ‘quest’ to save a farm, and they find it quite strange. Actual monsters attacking robotic chickens? But, it does afford them a few coins of the local currency. Wyatt and Caboose stay at the inn and get drunk, while the rest of the group investigates.
They find a surprisingly well stocked shop, and some devout worshipers of ‘The Lord Wade’. After some discussion in a ‘safe room’ that Dave shows them, they decide there’s only two ways out… summon and face Wade, or try to gain network access and chart a course out of there.
