{101}{}{An average person, of average height, of average complexion. Nothing out of the ordinary.}
{102}{}{Jo.}
{103}{}{Trader Jo.}
{104}{}{Sheriff Jo.}
{105}{}{Mayor Jo.}
{106}{}{Justice of the Peace Jo.}
{150}{}{We killed everyone. Even the childrenà [sob]}
{151}{}{Meet us at the Ghost Farm. We attack immediately.}
{152}{}{Thank you for saving the residents of Modoc.}
{153}{}{What are you doing?}
{154}{}{Hey! Leave that alone!}
{155}{}{Thief!}
{156}{}{Sorry, this trading post is closed indefinitely due to the drought.}
{157}{}{So who says IÆm here to trade?}
{158}{}{IÆm new here. What can you tell about this town?}
{159}{}{I donÆt suppose you have a gold watch for sale?}
{160}{}{GECK!}
{161}{}{What can I do for you?}
{162}{}{IÆm looking for a certain item, and I was wondering if you might be able to help me locate it.}
{164}{}{IÆm looking to buy a gold pocket watch. Do you know where I can get one?}
{165}{}{What do you have to trade?}
{166}{}{What can you tell me about this town?}
{167}{}{What do you do here?}
{168}{}{GECK!}
{169}{}{YouÆre back! What did you find out about the farm?}
{170}{}{I cleaned out your Ghost Farm problem. You can take over the farm any time.}
{171}{}{I have a message for you from the leader of the Slags.}
{172}{}{Mess-aj.}
{173}{}{Farm?}
{174}{}{Bad things all gone!}
{175}{}{I go.}
{176}{}{IÆll be back when I have more to report.}
{179}{}{There's a drunkard in the Den who matches Karl's description. Says he used to be a farmer too.}
{180}{}{Those bodies are fake. Just dummies covered in Brahmin guts. They were there to scare you away from the crops.}
{181}{}{What am I supposed to do again?}
{182}{}{What? Oh, you must be new around here. Welcome to Modoc. My nameÆs Jo, I run the trading post
here at Modoc.}
{183}{}{I am on a quest. I seek the holy GECK. Do know where I might find it?}
{186}{}{Well, youÆre in luck. I just happen to know where it is. I guess we have some business to
discuss after all.}
{187}{}{Business? Just tell me where I can find the holy GECK and IÆll be on my way.}
{188}{}{Our only business is that you will tell me where the holy GECK is located before something bad
happens.}
{189}{}{What do you want for this information?}
{190}{}{Ah yes, what I wantà If you hadnÆt noticed yet, our little farming community is experiencing one
of its worst droughts ever. The rainy season was unusually short this year, and our crops are dead or
dying from lack of water. To put it bluntly, our community is on the verge of withering away with our
crops.}
{191}{}{Ummà You do know I canÆt make it rain, right?!?}
{192}{}{[He chuckles softly] No, noà of course not. I wouldnÆt ask you to do something as impossible as
that. You really canÆt make it rain, can youà No, of course you canÆt! Anyway, like I was sayÆen, weÆre
in trouble and we could use your help.}
{193}{}{OK, IÆm listening.}
{194}{}{ThereÆs this farm at the outskirts of town, where no farm should be. Some years back it just
æappearedÆ out of nowhere.}
{195}{}{Are you saying that this farm just sprung up overnight? Yeah, right!}
{196}{}{A group of us were out hunting when we noticed the new farm. But that wasnÆt the strange thing.
Soon after, some of us got together to visit our new neighbor, only to discover that there wasnÆt
anybody there.}
{197}{}{Go on.}
{198}{}{After many months of trying to contact the owners with no success, it was decided that the farm
must have been abandoned soon after it was built. So instead of letting the crops rot in the fields,
young Karl moved in.}
{199}{}{Hmmà }
{200}{}{ThatÆs when things got bad. Karl started to tell stories of seeing strange glowing figures
tending the crops and feeding the animals at night. We all laughed at him, thinking he was making up
stories. Then one day Karl stopped coming into town.}
{201}{}{What happened to him? Did you look for him?}
{202}{}{Of course we did! We went up there as soon as we suspected something was wrong. [He starts to
tremble violently.] The horror. Bodies strewn everywhere. Some crucified, while others were
left to rot out in the sun. I still wake up screaming in the middle of the night from the horrible
images I saw that day.}
{203}{}{So, let me guess. You want me to go to this farm and find out what happened.}
{204}{}{Normally, I would just leave that cursed place be, but for some reason the crops at this farm
are still flourishing despite the drought. WeÆll starve if we donÆt get food soon. Will you help us
rid the farm of these ghosts?}
{205}{}{What do I get out of this?}
{206}{}{In return for helping us, IÆll tell you where you can find what you seek.}
{207}{}{OK, then let's seal the deal. Cut off your right pinky finger.}
{208}{}{Then itÆs a deal. Show me where this Ghost Farm is.}
{209}{}{What?!? Is that how you seal a deal where youÆre from? WeÆre desperate and I believe youÆre the
only person that could pull this off. So, I guess itÆs a small sacrifice, if itÆll save our town. [Jo
takes out a knife and proceeds to cut off his right pinky finger!]}
{210}{}{[You stop him just in time.] Wait! I see now you were telling the truth and are truly in need of
help. IÆll help you.}
{211}{}{Now, take your finger and saute it in a light garlic sauce. Very tasty dish!}
{212}{}{This farm is about a dayÆs travel northeast of here. [He pulls out a map and points to a spot
northeast of Modoc.] Come back when youÆve found something.}
{213}{}{[Jo calmly wraps his hand in a bandage and then proceeds to pull out a shotgun!] LetÆs see if
you can laugh this off, smart ass!}
{214}{}{[BOOM!]}
{215}{}{YouÆve got to be joking! IÆm not going to cut my finger off. IÆm desperate, not stupid! Now, do
you want the job or not?}
{216}{}{OK, IÆll do it anyway. WhereÆs this farm located?}
{217}{}{YouÆre obviously not desperate enough. IÆll pass.}
{218}{}{What was that? Did you say GECK?}
{219}{}{Unh. GECK.}
{220}{}{Me go.}
{222}{}{My nameÆs Jo. Can you say Jo? No matter; you see that rectangular thing over there? ThatÆs a
door. Be careful not to let it hit you on the way out.}
{223}{}{[You donÆt quite understand everything heÆs saying, but you grin and turn to leave.]}
{224}{}{[He seems to mull something over for a bit and then smiles and looks up at you.] Maybe we can
work out a trade after all. My name is Jo; I run this here trading post. I have some information about
GECK. You interested?}
{225}{}{[You nod your head up and down.]}
{226}{}{[You swing your head left to right.]}
{227}{}{Fantastic! ThereÆs this Ghostà er, farm at the edge of town. ItÆs about a dayÆs walk northeast of
here. Bad things happen there. Make bad things stop, then come back and IÆll tell you about GECK.}
{228}{}{I go now.}
{229}{}{Well then, we have nothing more to talk about. The door is right over there.}
{230}{}{Yup, thatÆs one big chip on yer shoulder. Why donÆt you come back when that chip isnÆt quite so
big? You have a nice day, and watch out for that door on yer way out.}
{231}{}{Well, then -- welcome to Modoc. My nameÆs Jo and I run this here trading post. We donÆt have
much; just a few farms, a slaughterhouse, RoseÆs Bed and Breakfast, and a tannery. Just enough to
produce goods to trade. Although that could all change with this drought.}
{232}{}{What can you tell me about the slaughterhouse?}
{233}{}{RoseÆs Bed and Breakfast?}
{234}{}{Tell me about the trading post.}
{235}{}{WhereÆs the tannery?}
{236}{}{Can I ask you a few more questions?}
{237}{}{The slaughterhouse is run by Grisham and his son Davin. ItÆs just east of here. He makes the
best damn jerky this side of the Rockies.}
{242}{}{RoseÆs Bed and Breakfast is on the north side of town. Travelers from all over come just to
sample her world-famous omelets. Some say her omelets can cure people of what ails them. Frankly, I
think thatÆs just a bunch of nonsense.}
{247}{}{Just follow your nose and youÆll find it. Can you smell that foul stench in the air? That's the
tanning vats just north of here. If you overlook the smell, youÆll not find a better place to get
leather goods. Balthus can work miracles with leather.}
{252}{}{Like I said before, my nameÆs Jo and I run the trading post for Modoc. I organize trade between
Modoc and other cities in need of food and leather goods. But with this drought, that could all come to
an end real soon. We're getting desperate.}
{257}{}{What do you want to talk about? The slaughterhouse, RoseÆs Bed and Breakfast, the tannery or the
trading post?}
{262}{}{Well, spit it out. I canÆt help you if you donÆt tell me what youÆre looking for, and I sure
ainÆt going to stand here and try to guess what youÆre looking for.}
{263}{}{I am looking for the holy GECK.}
{264}{}{Never mind.}
{265}{}{Since I rely heavily on the products of the people of Modoc, I donÆt have much to trade for. You
know, with the drought and all. You still interested?}
{266}{}{LetÆs do some business.}
{267}{}{No thanks, but can I ask you some more questions?}
{268}{}{No, maybe later. I have to go now.}
{269}{}{Now thatÆs a good question. Mostly, I just run this here trading post. But on occasion, IÆm the
sheriff, mayor, judge, and any other official you can think of.}
{270}{}{Wow; you must be a very popular fellow to be entrusted with all those duties.}
{271}{}{Thanks for the info; IÆll be going now.}
{272}{}{Nahà I just drew the short straw. It seems I was out getting some supplies and when I came back,
I found out the townsfolk went and elected me. Seems no one else wanted the job. Except for the
occasional argument, I really donÆt have to do anything -- which suits me fine.}
{273}{}{Can I ask you some more questions?}
{274}{}{What! Are you trying to be a wise ass? Everyone knows old Corny lost his gold pocket watch.
He even had me search his best friendÆs house looking for it. If you know whatÆs good for you, youÆd
keep your nose out of this. Good day!}
{275}{}{[He takes the message from the Slags.] WhatÆs this? ItÆs from the people living at the Ghost
Farm. This is incredible; have you readà oops, of course you didnÆt. There are still some things that
need to be worked out between the Slags and Modoc, but itÆs much too complex for your tiny brain to
understand, so you neednÆt worry about it.}
{276}{}{GECK now!}
{277}{}{Well, that could be a little difficult. You see I really don't know what a GECK is. But, I do know
of a place called Gecko, I've never been there myself but I hear it's somewhere east of here. I feel
really bad about deceiving you. I wish I could give you more in the way of compensation than this,
but the best I can offer you is a discount on goods. I'm not too stocked up right now, but I'm
sure things will pick up around here soon and I'd be honored to help stock you up.}
{278}{}{Jerk!}
{280}{}{I donÆt blame you for being mad at me, but IÆm not sorry I did it. We needed someone for the job
and you fit the bill. All I can say is "thanks," and send you on your way.}
{282}{}{Yesà faaarmm. Farm northeast. Go farm. Make bad things go bye-bye.}
{283}{}{ThatÆs great! IÆll send some people over immediately to start harvesting the crops. YouÆve saved
us.}
{284}{}{Show GECK!}
{285}{}{Slags? Who are they? WhatÆs this? [Jo opens and reads the message.] This is incredible! TheyÆve
been living underground all this time. They say theyÆd be willing to trade food for medical supplies
and other stuff. I donÆt know if they can be trusted. After all, they killed Karl and all those other
people. What do you think?}
{286}{}{All those bodies are fake. Nothing but dummies covered in brahmin innards. They just wanted to
keep you from stealing their crops.}
{287}{}{TheyÆre extremely sensitive to light. I think a small group of people armed with flares would
be able to wipe their whole community out.}
{288}{}{I found Karl at the Den. He left because no one would believe him about the ghosts and he was
scared.}
{289}{}{TheyÆre holding little Jonny hostage! We need to attack now!}
{290}{}{Fake! But, I saw the bodies with my own eyes. In any case, Karl is still missing. How do they
explain that? I wonÆt trust them until IÆm certain they are on the up and up.}
{292}{}{They said the person that moved in some years ago left suddenly.}
{293}{}{Karl wouldnÆt do that. They probably killed him! No, until I find out what happened to Karl, I
donÆt think we can trust them. I was hoping it wouldnÆt come to this, but weÆre just going to have to
take over their farm. ItÆs either us or them.}
{294}{}{No wait! Let me try and find out what happened to Karl. There must be an explanation for his
disappearance.}
{295}{}{I agree we should attack! Their weakness is their eyes.}
{296}{}{I didnÆt agree to this. IÆve found out whatÆs happening at the Ghost Farm. Now tell me where I
can find the holy GECK.}
{297}{}{IÆll give you one month to find out what you can about Karl. If you donÆt come back within that
time, IÆll mobilize the residents of Modoc and weÆll take the farm by force.}
{298}{}{OK, one month! DonÆt do anything rash until then. IÆll be back.}
{299}{}{I need more time. ItÆll be impossible to find him in such a short period of time.}
{300}{}{One month, no longer! I told you we were desperate. Our food supply is running critically low.
We have enough for one month; after that we all start starving. IÆm going to start organizing the
townspeople immediately. You best hurry!}
{301}{}{Please donÆt do anything rash until I return!}
{302}{}{[Shocked] The Den! I-I guess we were a little hard on him. I can imagine what he went through at
the Ghost Farm, with nobody believing him and all. You say heÆs a drunkard now, at the Den? If you could
give him the message that we believe him and that he should come home, I would be most appreciative. In
the meantime, I believe itÆs about time the Slags and the residents of Modoc get acquainted.}
{303}{}{I believe I have fulfilled my part of the bargain. How about telling me where I might find the
holy GECK?}
{304}{}{[Acting a little embarrassed.] Umà well, you see, I donÆt really know anything about this holy
GECK thing youÆre looking for. You have to understand; we were desperate! However, I do know of a place
called Gecko. ItÆs a ways east of here somewheres. If I were a betting man, I would wager your GECK gizmo
is located there. I wish I hade more I could give you, but we're still a poor community with not
much in the way of offerings. The best I can do is offer you goods at basically my cost. But
I'd be honored to help keep you stocked for your journeys when I have the goods and IÆm sure any
of the other residents would be equally grateful if you asked them. Thank you! YouÆve saved us all.}
{305}{}{Well, they did kill Karl along with all those other people staked out in front of their farm.
OK, letÆs do it. YouÆve seen their hideout and seem quite capable; will you lead us to victory over
those treacherous Slags?}
{306}{}{Of course! For such a just cause, I would be happy to help you defeat the Slags.}
{307}{}{Maybe this isnÆt such a good idea; letÆs think of another way.}
{308}{}{ThatÆs great; IÆll get the townsfolk together and weÆll meet you there.}
{309}{}{You saw Jonny there! WeÆve been searching everywhere for him. Those monsters, theyÆre stealing
our children. We wonÆt be safe until theyÆre all dead. IÆll get the townspeople together and weÆll
storm their hideout. Meet us at the Ghost Farm as soon as you can.}
{310}{}{How can you live with yourself? We are in a crisis here and all you can think of are your own
selfish needs. Very well, why donÆt you go to Gecko; itÆs to the east of here somewhere. If anyone knows
about this GECK thing, IÆm sure they would. Now if you donÆt mind, I need to meet with the townspeople so
we can figure out what to do.}
{311}{}{ThatÆs great. What were those things, anyway?}
{312}{}{Just a community of mutants. If they werenÆt ghosts before, they are now.}
{313}{}{They were ghosts. TheyÆre gone. ThatÆs all you need to know. Now, tell me where I can find the
holy GECK.}
{314}{}{You mean you just went in and killed everyone?! I didnÆt mean for you to do that. You were sent
to investigate what was happening at the farm and then return with the information. I think you better
leave.}
{315}{}{We're going to attack, but only as the last resort. We only have a month's supply of food left
before we start to starve. You have until then to find out what is going on. I won't negotiate with
them unless I know for certain that they didn't do anything to Karl.}
{316}{}{We're going to attack, but only as the last resort. We only have a month's supply of food left
before we start to starve. You have until then to find out what is going on. I won't negotiate with
them unless I know for certain that they didn't do anything to Karl and I have to know their reason
for staking all those people out in front of their farm. I won't deal with savages.}
{317}{}{I think you enjoy killing people just a little too much for my taste. I think you'd better leave.}
{318}{}{[Shocked] The Den! I-I guess we were a little hard on him. I can imagine what he went through
at the Ghost Farm, with nobody believing him and all. You say heÆs a drunkard now, at the Den? If you
could give him the message that we believe him and that he should come home, I would be most
appreciative.}
{319}{}{I also found out that all those bodies surrounding the Ghost Farm are fake. Dummies, covered
with brahmin guts.}
{320}{}{Now will you talk to the leader of the Slags?}
{321}{}{ThatÆs all I know for now.}
{322}{}{Fake! ThatÆs impossible, I saw them with my own eyes. Blood and gore everywhere. Butà I guess
itÆs possible, we didnÆtà I meanà well [JoÆs face turns beat red.] We all kind of turned tail and ran
when we saw the bodies. No one actually had the guts to examine them closely.}
{326}{}{Yes, I believe the Slags and the people of Modoc will be able to come to some kind of mutually
beneficial agreement. Thank you for saving the people of Modoc.}
{327}{}{ThereÆs this little thing about my reward? You said youÆd tell me where the holy GECK was.}
{328}{}{You need to find out who those people staked out in front of the Ghost Farm are. }
{329}{}{Karl disappeared from the farm some time ago. Find out what happened to him.}
{330}{}{Thanks, IÆll see what I can find out.}
{331}{}{We don't want your kind around here.}
{400}{}{[Letting him cut his finger off] OK, now I'll help.}
{410}{}{What's the big white building in the middle of town?}
{500}{}{Oh, that's our town church. The people of Modoc built it to show their faith. Lately,
there hasn't been much to be thankful for, so nobody attends the sermons anymore.}
