Yolo rides back to The Old City in a coach and reflects on what has just happened. Property Value Start Date & Time Previous Scene [[011.

Very Unlikely, Yes Does Lindy know Dax? Likely, Extreme Yes (They were friends) Scene Yolo waits impatiently at the carriage house. She's been up for hours now. She couldn't fall back asleep after the attack; it would have been foolish to do so, and even if she had tried, she would have been too rattled. Yolo Could have sworn I put the fear in them. sigh More the fool me, I suppose. Game GME The carriage pulls up to the house just as the dawn is breaking. Seems they rode here...

Lee Rensler has sent someone out looking for Yolo and Dax. Given the way they left town, it wasn't clear that they were out looking for the artifact to bring back to Lee. He got impatient and hired someone to go after the pair and deal with the situation. The Watchers didn't give up their pursuit of Yolo. Some of them have found where she's sleeping and intend to put the issue to an end here and now. Property Value Start Date & Time Previous Scene [[010.

Yolo has fitful dreams about Dax, resolving the rest of their meetcute. When last we left the flashback, she'd just shot a window out of the [[Places/The Bangers and Mash]] Note that the scene number is baked into the template name itself Property Value Start Date & Time Previous Scene [[009.

Patrons screamed. And then the smoke cleared. Yolo Well, I did say I wanted a distraction... Game Yolo I toss the gun and start to bolt. I'm going to run away from where I met Dax, and once I'm clear circle back around. GME Lee's toughs are level 2. They have +1 to might, -1 to smarts tests. As you start to run, you hear a loud voice shouting through the window...

Return to the nearest part of civilization, collect my thoughts, pick a likely place to do research and start heading there. Since the scene is altered, curiosity gets the best of Yolo. I find a safe place to try out the magical device, maybe with some hired help to watch me while I do a relatively dangerous thing During the mad flight, I ran northwest, towards Knathton and falling stones. It's untested whether any of those are on my map (or what direction we were originally coming from.) This is the scene where I switched from SWADE to Cypher. I'd gotten frustrated with SWADE in a different game. The pulpy exploding dice are cool in a group setting, but with a solo hero, sometimes they just kill you. If the rolls look odd, it's because Cypher's a little weird. You roll a d20 and try to beat 3x the task difficulty, so for a difficulty 5 task, you're looking to get 15 or better on a d20.

The people pursuing Yolo got a really good look at me, and found something on Daxter Biggby's corpse tying the two of them together. They have enough information to pursue me easily, and enough power to do so, though Yolo isn't aware of the danger yet. Regrouping in the woods, ditching my trail, making a decision on whether to double back and track them or return to civilization. Got Interrupt, PC Negative

Yolo's dream ended with her choking on smoke. I expected her to awake to a raging fire, but got an altered scene instead. The fire is less bad than I had originally imagined. The furniture in the bunk room is on fire, though why she cannot say. Mercifully, the moldering straw in the mattresses is too decomposed and moist to burn well, hampering the progress of the fire. The fire is large enough to be a concern. Too large to put out trivially, to small to be a threat to life and limb in the immediate moment. Yolo has options, rather than the only choice being flight.

Sleep comes reluctantly for Yolo tonight. There's just too much on her mind. It's hard to relax in a strange dangerous place, especially without anyone to watch your back. When sleep finally comes, it's not as restful as it could be. Yolo has vivid dreams, likely brought on by some property of [[The Ruins]] Property Value Start Date & Time Previous Scene [[005.
