GANGER
You hear a voice behind you. 'This is our turf, lowlife.'

INSANE BUM
A homeless man looks up at you from a nearby park bench. His eyes say that he knows something you don't.

He looks up, glaring at you. "You work for them, don't you? They're coming for us… that's what the Eclipse is for."

Before you can ask what the hell he's talking about, he lunges at you.

TRASH GOLEM
As you explore the park, a large pile of trash catches you attention. Did it just move?

After a few moments you notice it move again, rising up as though it had just woken from a long slumber.

GANGER
(Good (1))

You see a squad of Fangs shaking down a young woman. She's offered them money already, but they don't seem happy with that answer.

When you approach, she takes the opportunity to shank one of them, then runs. He collapses bleeding on the ground while his friends stand torn between jumping you and following the girl.

You make the choice easy for them.

(Gives the drops of 4 gangers if you win.)
LeatherJacket.jpg  Slasher.jpg
INSANE SLASHER
(Good (1))

You hear a muffled scream from the far corner of the park and rush over to have a look. In the shadows, you see the bleeding scattered remains of a homeless man.

Crouched over the grisly scene, another man grins as he wipes the blood from his knife.

MIDGARD SECURITY, 2 GANGER
(Good (1))

In your hunt through Southside Park, you discover two obvious Fang members discussing payment with a Midgard Security officer. As you edge closer, you see they're haggling over the corpse of a recently dead bum, with the main argument being whether his lack of eyes is "significant."

It doesn't take long for you to pass judgement.

(Drops 1 old coins in addition to normal drops.)
