Session 2: Tuner Hunt Continues
General Summary
Session starts at the end of day 2 which is June 1, 113. The party just arrived in Sprakers and Fluffy was leading them up to a house when a Magical Pony approaches the party. Godfreid gives the pony food and in return the pony heals Fluffy then runs away.
They investigate the Spraker's house and find that there is a group of people already inside. Knocking on the door, they announce themselves and make friendly with the other group. When knocking on the door, one of the inhabitants was surprised and frightened by someone knocking in the Wasteland. The other inhabitant made fun of him and laughed. They stay the night there.
Day 3
They head out early in the morning, around 0300. Traveling at a fast pace to catch up with George Edward Darnell . Travel is uneventful.
Day 4
They head out early in the morning, around 0300. Traveling at a fast pace to catch up with George Edward Darnell . When they arrive in Rome, they meet a traveler on the road who gives them Darnell's location in exchange for some rations. They go to the house and find Darnell sleeping inside with a dog companion. They approach Darnell and make a deal. He cuts off and gives them his arm in exchange for being allowed to leave alive. After he has cut his arm off, it grows back. The party takes his Medical Insignia and his arm, then leave; struggling to maintain their sanity in the face of such brutal events.
Day 5
The party heads back to Camp Hope, traveling slowly to allow Fluffy to recover. During their long rest, a badger invades their camp and steals some rations. They quickly kill the creature and go back to resting. 20 miles traveled.
Day 6
Another day of slow travel for Fluffy's sake. They are visited by a crazy wanderer that joins them at their camp fire during their long rest. They exchange food stuffs and the wanderer regales them with insane stories that are barely coherent. 20 miles traveled.
Day 7
Fluffy is doing better and the decision is made to travel at a normal pace. While traveling, the party is attacked by a feral dog that is quickly dispatched. They find a house to stay for the night, but there is more there then expected. They find a strange corpse with huge claws locked in a bathroom. They collect the bones from the hand of this creature to bring back to Christine Louis Segers. They also find seemingly human corpse that had a cam recorder and a key card for The New York Biohazard Research Institute.

Related Reports
The body is dried out, skin stretched taut over bones like old leather, a grim testament to how long it has been here. Behind the body, the stairway is choked with rubble, the remnants of a partial collapse that brought the ceiling crashing down. Broken beams and jagged chunks of concrete jut out at harsh angles, sealing off the space and trapping them here. The corpse leans heavily against the debris. It is clear that they had made a simple barricade on their side of the door, the reason it was hard to open.
The scene feels suffocating, the cramped space at the top of the stairs bearing the marks of a desperate last stand. The weight of the collapse still pressing down, as though the building itself is mourning this desperate, solitary end because whatever this person was hiding from, it’s clear they didn’t succeed.
The travel rules have had another update.
