"How dare you even think of defile my body with your diseased prole lips?" She sneered, "Thanks to your lechery, you will be lucky if I even consider showing you and your cohorts any restraint the next time we meet.  So if I were you, I'd pray, to whatever idols you street urchins pray to, that we won't cross paths once you return to Victoria Town."* * * * * CHAPTER V: INTO THE RUINS...Lord Burroughmeister ordered the caravan to the side of the road about two and a half miles from the lower settlement.  The stretch of road between the caravan's position and the settlement travels down into what appears to be a basin before it forks towards the settlements which are clinging to the side of the plateau and then to the south. The wasteland that flanks the road hints at the region's "ancient" martian past.  Mingling within the red sand covered rocks is evidence of what was once a vast grid work of mortar and asphalt, an ancient city that was long since bombed out of existence and left to erode in the fierce Martian sandstorms that occasionally blow through the region.  Although most of the structures were reduced to rubble, sprinkled through the basin are partially erect buildings hat stand no taller then three stories in height, with rooves that have long since collapsed as well as solitary sections of wall that rises out of the rubble like a tombstone from the mound of a covered grave.From you position you can see that the ruins of the ancient city seems to be thinned out, if not cleared about half a mile from the lower settlement, forming a rocky sloping no-man's land.  In your gut, you know that this ruins of the ancient city might be ideal for an ambush especially within the ruins of the long obliterated city.  You also know that once forced into the no-man's land, you will be noticeable in the day-light if you are without the benefit of camouflage, technological, "mystic", or supernatural protection/cover.[sblock=Deezy]The signal has gotten stronger. Considering the location of the base settlement, you are certain that the signal is not coming from there, but instead the settlement on the plateau.[/sblock]</blockquote>
