You ponder it over for a moment. MOUTH OF GOD would have some nice minerals and you REALLY want to say 'fuck it' and check the manor. However, you almost immediately decide on picking WHITEROCK. Even if there's no one left there you can just run and take a buncha supplies.
Besides. You best head there quick before the storm makes travelling a real bitch and a half.
You immediately toss the AMBERBRIGHT RING to Alexis. Wendy would probably be the second best choice but Alexis is squishy and it would give her willpower and brain just enough of a push for her to help you better down the line. She catches the ring and slides it onto her ring finger.
>+AMBERBRIGHT RING TO ALEXIS!
Ashley lets out a low whistle. "Looks good on you. Maybe I should get one of those once we're done indulging in I-Corp's bullshit."
Alexis squints at the punk as if she just insulted her. However, she pretends to be the bigger woman in this situation by plainly ignoring it. "So, Nicole. Where to?"
"WHITEROCK. We have to move quickly before the storm rushes in. Everyone ready?"
Your allies murmur something vaguely positive sounding. You can tell they're still a bit rattled from the fight to the death and all of the bullshit that happened to it but none of them have any complications.
Lex, however, doesn't seem to be doing too hot. He drops to one knee seemingly out of fucking nowhere and if it wasn't for Quentin, Ashley, and Wendy springing in to keep him steady you imagine he would've cracked his head on the clocktower floor.
A thin, wispy stream of black smog pours out of his mouth as if some sort of eldritch spirit was being sucked out of him. He coughs something FIERCE before getting right back onto his feet. "Sorry. D-drugs ran through me, hit me like a TRUCK."
>LEX STATS reset to normal! VOIDSTONE, WHITE POWDER, UVX #1, and EXPIRED SINSUL WORE OFF!
>LEX FLESH AND RESTRAINT: 6/6, 5/5.
>LEX BOOSTED HIS MAX RESTRAINT BY 1 VIA VOIDSTONE!
"Fuck, don't scare us like that." You try your best to hold back your nervous laughter. "G-get him back to his feet."
It takes a moment for the three to get him standing back up but he's able to regain his balance real quick. Best to start moving.
It only takes about ten minutes to reach the edge of town and frankly, most of that was spent on the trip down the annoyingly long stairs. The weather outside has gotten a lot worse in the few minutes it took you to start your trip to WHITEROCK.
Everything is now a dull and murky grey as the last bits of natural sunlight are being blocked by the brewing snowstorm. The previously calm and gentle winds you felt while exploring are beginning to pick up, sapping away all of the warmth from your body despite the winter gear you're wearing. <span class="mu-g">Thank god you had some IMPROVED UNIFORMS, otherwise you might've been taking some damage by now.</span>
Checking the map, it seems that WHITEROCK is southeast from where you're at. Time to start heading there.
