Event 1 Rumours
No rumours were put out for Event 1 because there were no PCs in the Zone to hear them…
Event 1 After Action Report
These are all rumours and reports coming in from other freelancers and faction NPCs.
The Churchgoers
Churchgoer activity in the southern half of the Zone has dropped to near zero due to the catastrophic losses taken over Event 1. There have been next to no sightings and zero aggression. To all intents and purposes they appear to have been wiped out as an effective force in this part of the Zone. That said no-one has yet laid eyes on any kind of HQ for them so it is assumed they are housed further north and may yet make moves to head south again. Scouts have redoubled their efforts to find an HQ and a substantial reward for actionable intelligence has been posted.
Bandit Activity
After a brief lull bandit activity is back on the rise, but they have ceased to prey on specific known travel routes and have taken a more random hit and run approach. It is suspected there is a growing network of fences amongst the freelancers that are either trading with the bandits or selling goods at the bars on their behalf. Rewards are offered for names and information on this network.
Trade
Although the prices offered by the Bar have not altered the trade in small blue and white pills has been quite brisk amongst the freelancers. The green and white pills less so, but that seems to be a matter of availability rather than lack of interest. The High Roller faction has been offering premium prices for both types of pill but has apparently been unable to buy them in high numbers.
A couple of freelancers with known corporate affiliations have been enquiring about a collection of drugs in liquid form that were stolen by bandits and not recovered. A high reward is offered for their return.
