POWER The guy leads you through a not-too noticeable town into an abandoned part that no one seems to use any more. It reminds you of rumors you've heard about the old hideout here called the Deadmines. Rumor has it that the base used to belong to an organization called the Defias that terrorized the surrounding area. The inactive, scarecrow-like harvest watchers that lurk in corners here seem to back that up. If you just had a little time, you could probably get them working. But you don't. Your contact leads you to a nearby group that he says has the money and blends into it. You can make out the hulking silhouette of an ogre, a few human thugs, and a figure who seems to be cloaked in shadow. This last turns to you and says, "We can talk inside."
Keep moving forward. Your job here isn't done yet. You knew this was a scam. Time to bail out.
