Session 1: The Road to Wasteville
The desert wind had just begun to cool as Chloe Rogers stepped into the Waterin' Hole, the
flickering "BIG GIRLS" sign buzzing behind her. With no caps and grief in her eyes, she made her
way to the bar where Old Tess sized her up with one look. Chloe didn't lie-she had lost someone.
Tess, no stranger to sorrow, poured her a drink and slid it across the counter without a word.
When Chloe asked about work, Tess handed her a rag, a tray, and a warning. Thus began "Bar Rag
& Razor"-an honest night's labor in a dishonest place.
Chloe served drinks with grace and earned a hefty 20-cap tip. She cooled off a fight between Big
Tino and a caravan guard by defusing the tension with words and coin. Dice McCray took notice,
offering her a future opportunity. She comforted and protected Mina from a leering drunk and
received a strange Dustborn totem sketch as thanks. In the bathhouse, Chloe discovered a Dustborn
acolyte poisoning the saloon's water supply-but he fled before she could stop him.
Reporting back to Tess, Chloe learned the truth: the town's water convoy had vanished, and Dustborn
rituals were spreading. Tess offered her a new job-track down the missing shipment, recover the
purification chip, and save the Waterin' Hole.
Before leaving, Chloe sought backup. Skids pointed her to Big Tino, an ex-enforcer with a vendetta.
Tino agreed to help-payment pending-and the two set off together at first light.
