ORGANIZED "I'm looking to join your cause," you say. "Can you take me to where they're recruiting?" "Huh?" he says groggily. "Uh, sure thing." (Apparently, you didn't make any false assumptions in your question.) He stands up and starts to walk towards the south with you following behind. The thug leads you through a not-too noticeable town into an abandoned part that no one seems to use any more. It's not too long after you enter this shady area that the thug starts to wake up. Seemingly realizing what's going on, he mutters something about the building ahead of you being where his people are recruiting, then bolts. It's probably a good time to find out where exactly you are... The scenery 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. If the base still has any of the Defias's legendary possessions in it, that could explain the tension here...though the scarecrow-like, inactive harvest watchers that lurk in corners here could achieve that effect by themselves. Upon closer look, you also notice that you're being followed. You can make out the hulking silhouette of an ogre, a few human thugs, and a figure who seems to be cloaked in shadow. Whoever's following you, they don't seem friendly. If you let them keep at it much longer, there won't be any way to avoid confronting them.
Leg it for the way you came. You got what you came for. Time to run. Keep moving forward. Your job here isn't done yet. Pause. See if the group walks past you.
