Boztun Badlands, Klos 17th, 350AC, 9:10 (overcast, 37 degrees, crescent moon)
Arvak has Zeebo slung over his shoulder. Phallon and some of the soldiers cover Ragnor as he inspects the body and device in the snow. The body appears to be a dead teenaged true man, with burns in his abdomen and left thigh. He is wearing a hole-ridden set of furs (fur side facing inward), and a pair of shiny black gloves made of a synthetic material. On the body or near it, Ragnor discovers:
- a 2′ long metal cylinder with handles and tubing attached
- a plastic water bottle (contents now solid with ice)
- 35 domars
- squeaker jerky (= 2 days iron rations)
- 3 spears/javelins tipped with shlack (sharp pointy fungal growths, kind of like glass). BD8 but -2BD vs metal armor
As Ragnor lifts up the metal device, chunks of ice and snow crumble off of it. Between the entire group, the device is identified as a beat up ancient mountain bike. The rubber tires have short metal studs protruding from their treads.
Secret IN rolls for Ragnor, Phallon, and Arvak. Hmmm, none of you recognize this youth. He could be from the Klintok tribe as they are true men who often use ancient bicycles.
