Small Bugbear Settlement

The bugbear town

Bugbear town wrecked by the hunters, its survivors rebuilding by hand when Carl passes through at daylight.

Story so far

Carl and Princess Donut left their Personal Space through the Whataburger saferoom and out into the streets, with no time to explore. Everything had been destroyed, and the damage was even more evident in daylight than it had been the night before.

Survivors were already at work: Goiter, a level 42 council member, was atop a house hammering wood back into place when he shouted down that their kind wasn't welcome. Carl explained they weren't the ones who wrecked the place and were there to kill those who did, which turned Goiter friendly instantly. Carl warned him the same Hunters would come back through in a few hours, and Goiter said they'd be ready, before Carl saluted him and headed south. Donut noted the town smelled of pickled beets and vodka.
