Scavenger

Professional scavengers spend most of their time near the plane gobble looking for new area that the plane has absorbed at its edges. They tend to work in pairs or small teams, one to act as the anchor, and the other to act as the scout and lookout.   There are no formal associations or guilds of scavengers, although there are some cultural norms that do persist among them.   
  • Right of scavenge is generally given to the first person to physically touch the object. If there is dispute among scavengers as to who was first to scavenge, then it is generally agreed that the profits should be split. This is a very loose guideline though, and some scavenger gangs will enforce right of scavenge via violence
  • If you can't drag it away on your own or with your team, you forfeit right of scavenge. Lone scavengers may sometimes stay touching an item until a larger team shows up and bargain away their right of scavenge, or smaller teams may leave one person touching the item while they disperse to get more resources
  • Although it is perfectly acceptable to swoop in and steal as scavenge that is still in situ, It is considered bad practice to mug other scavengers - if they have managed to successfully remove something, you leave them alone.

Dangers & Hazards

Scavenging is a very risky profession. The demi-plane can shift unpredictably, and scavengers have been lost to the plane gobble, where their particular piece of the plane can be suddenly detached or 'pinched off' No one knows what happens to people trapped inside of these tiny plane bubbles, as most people with the ability to shift into and out of the demi-plane choose the more lucrative profession of courier instead.   The scavenge its self can also sometimes be dangerous.  Often only part of a building will come through, leaving it to be potentially very unstable. It is rarer for the gobble to scoop up creatures, but it there will be the occasional dangerous animal or other creature will come through. Rarest of all, the gobble will bring through dangerous magical or technological artefacts.
