Bounty Hunter's Guide 106PA

(updated from the 101PA version by flak0)

On a plastic card is printed the following guide in large block letters. The card is equipped with a button which reads the printed text in a computerized voice.  The card along with the Bounty feed are broadcast and rebroadcast all across North America.  Some of our players faces are highlighted along with The Company logo with "New Bounty" flashing to draw the eye of the Bounty Hunter.

Welcome to the Third age Of Dragonwright

Testing moving the old wordpress blog to this one... Wordpress gets too much spam!

Hugh-Bot Modified Dynabot Neuro-Net AI Cyberdoc

Hugh-bot started his life as a combat robot protecting Triax. He was subsequently stolen, reprogrammed, and sold overseas to some black marketeers. In exchange for a miraculous treatment they then traded Hugh to Healer Heath, the famous healer who could save anyone. After heath ran afoul with The Corn Company in Corn Heights, he was murdered and his deadman switch went off. This removed the combat restrains Heath had installed on Hugh. Heath really was a pacifist and tired of Hue’s many automated combat analysis rundowns using sensor data obtained detecting visitors to heaths clinic.

Heath had enough of learning that Hugh had a 98% chance of being able to terminate the sickly old man and his wife who had stopped by to check out his bunions.
So he decided to do something about it and put behavioral and physical restraining bolds on Hue, keeping him attached to a medical gurney for use restraining unruly patients.

Heath debated the bots AI long into the nights, trying to teach it non-violent conflict skills and philosphy. This didn’t really work but as the restraining bolts were in place Huebot continued his peaceful if miserable existence. What it did do is give Hue an unusually complicate personality for a standard combat bot. Heath tinkered with him relentlessly trying to get him to act more “human” and by the end of it had a Neural Net program running ontop of the simpler AI OS. The Neural net app allowed Hue to learn new ways of thought and he was then taught to be Heaths assistant Cyber Doc. Heath debated Hue about the existance of self and has convinced the Bot’s AI that he is indeed a person worthy of respect and dignity not just to be treated as a tool.

It is this kindness that motivates Hue to act when he receives the last orders he ever got from his master.

“The time for contemplation has ceased Hugh, and with this message I am afraid my life has also ceased. If you are getting this I am dead. Use whatever adventurers and resources at hand to track down my murderors and put them and their friends to death. Thank you for your service.”

Bluey

Bluey is from Loanstar, Mutated to serve the Coalition. While patrolling deep in magic zone territory he was cut off from his pack and badly wounded. He found himself outside the hut of Zee, then in a different host than Kash. Zee nursed Bluey back to health and showed him that all magic was not evil. In time he even convinced Bluey to listen to the magic of the Ley Lines and control his mind through meditation to avoid headaches while on them.

Bluey met the group shortly after they rifted back into ohio and found his dead master. Zee’s previous body’s murder has still not been solved.
