Re: Pig Riders of Ruin
The mayor leads the group into her house. There are some artifacts of the ancient world, and she gestures to a large round table that says 'Goodyear' for those who can read. Once everyone is more of less comfortable, she gets some of the glowing underground farmed desert tubers which pass for food in this region.
"Thank you all for coming here. As I told my people, we are dying slowly. Our wells are almost dry, and the tubers we use for food will run out. The Sand Drifters once moved on sails of wind, until we found this place...and the Crystal of the Sorcerer Nypull."
She holds up the amulet around her neck, which indeed holds a yellow crystal.
"Nypull swore eternal vengeance on our people after my Grandfather stole the crystal. We believe his strongest powers where located in the gem, which is now only set to create the walls that protect us. His pig mutants are a recent creation, and now we have no way to leave safely."
She sighs. "That being said, we have gotten reports there is a nearby vehicle large enough to move our people out. A small group would stay here with the crystal to draw away their forces and give the others a chance to escape. Needless to say, it would be death for those who do. Of course...that was before we got a group of heroes able to fight them..."
