Is it always this warm out here? The sun bakes the sand and you with it, until somewhere along the wandering paths you end up more sun-scarred sand than human being.

But it was not always like that. They tell tales this place used to be comforting, even, all shade and shadows and running rivers. Check nooks and crannies of old places, you'll forgotten buildings stick out of the sand. The bones of old peering out from the veil of time, and we the little scavengers among them. Wonder what one might find, if one goes a seeking in a place like this.

Maybe that's why you signed up for a Scavenger Company? They pay is good. The work is ... interesting. The people are rough sort, but neither the worst nor the best. And yes, a fair few of them spend more time fighting than they have guarding scholars or trading old detritus in trade-camps. But others don't know which end of a blade is the sharp one, and most everyone here is kinder than they are cruel. The difference between a scavenger and a mercenary is . . . slim at the best of times, but to a professional, it matters. You don't just kill people for money. You're not a thug. A company like this? It has Standards.

Which is bound to be why the Client - some dame go by the name of Ink - hired the lot of this varied company for a small task that's starting to spiral out into a big one.

Don't worry if you've never done something like this before - you'll learn quick. It's a kind of play by post multiplier narrative chess game, where the world tries to kill you. There's a loosely coherent story, too, but you don't need to be too deep in the details to tag along.

Oh, and dice a dice+xd6 in the options field - you'll want to know that to do the job you pick. There'll be some details later, but for now, just get settled in.
