The Independant Village of Deadman Crossing


View Larger Map
Deadman crossing, population 50

This is where the group of Characters in the Third Age of Dragonwright currently reside. There are 3 full time hangeron drunken farmers in their fanclub as well as at least 10 more watching them during the day.

This village proudly explains they never worked for the company , instead working as Independent contractors and maintenance crews for the farmer's directly. They don't seem to be big fans of the company's attempts to buy out their little hamlet.

Bo was delivering supplies to them when they all were waylaid by zombies, presumably for their failing to sell out to the Company. Some of Deadman Crossing's inhabitants are sick from corn fever and covered in strange plant like growths.

Most of them are angry at the Company for what has been done to them. There is no corn planted in this region.

M2 scoundrel reputation 1pt
N3 Pittance salary 5pts

31pts total this is a very small village who has suffered losses at the hands of the Company. Fresh graves can be seen dug nearby. Its clear these people have been through a lot. Many of them look to Bo for leadership, Bo however is ignoring them currently and resting. His wounds look grave but he refuses all attention and his cybernetics don't seem to be getting any worse...

cornpacalypse morning

September first 106PA, Chillcothe OH
Early in the predawn, the sun a corona of light in the east, a brisk morning.  Soon the warm air will come and burn off the thick layer of fog that lies around the river front half demolished clinic of the late Healer Heath.

Throughout the night Hughbot tirelessly worked to repair Thulls body.  IT seems the cybernetics were being rejected, requiring careful monitoring and microsurgery and medicine injection into trouble spots.

From the northwest comes the dull glow of Corn Heights..  the fires from the 2 destroyed vehicles and 1 damaged robot vehicle can still be smelled and a few scattered areas still smolder.

A few people wander up to the clinic.

Some are farmers, some are vagabonds.  All are interested in the Character's story and why they stood up to the company.  

the players meet 2 farmers who claim they want to help outside heaths clinic.  Enter Hiro and Jean Marc.


Together they explore west of the clinic in a convoy of Sparticus's Stolen Robot, Hughbots pickup truck, and Bluey's ATV.

They spot a hoard of zombies attacking bo ontop of his semi truck, his beetle lies dead in front of the truck, no way to pull it now.
attack of the zombies



They battle the zombies with lots of 50 call machinguning from Hughbot, some arrows from Caldor and Hiro (also shooting caldorin the ass), Sparticus just smooshed alot of zombies with his robot and finally they saved Bo.  He gave them the contents of his truck to fight the company with and said he ows them his life.  its clear hes not a normal trucker and is in the black market.. hes heavily cybored.

While prowling around the region they also see a Lanotaur hunter scoop up a psigoblin and eat it in a tree.  They briefly battle it before Drago manages to scare it away with an attempted mental possession.  He gained this power after consuming a case of psicola...  Which is he now starting to withdraw from.

Heath's Clinic

New players work for Corn Heights Company Security.

Corn Heights lies on the ancient ruins of once capital of the ancient forgotten state of Ohio, Chillicothe.

Players from last adventure are the anti-corn company rebels holed up outside of Corn Heights.

Heaths Clinic is ~3 miles southeast under the old partially collapsed highway 50 overpass crossing the Scioto_River.



Hugh bot accesses a map of the region for any curious parties and displays it on the wall R2D2 style.
