The only thing that really stops you is Lex pausing to put down the QUOTA BOX so he can apply some UVX #1. "Just in case we have to fight."
>-1 UVX# 1! +1 TEMPORARY MAX FLESH AND RESTRAINT!>LEX FLESH IS 7/7, RESTRAINT 4/5!You remember an old item you have. Before you start walking again...
Do you give LEX the KRAV MAGA MANUAL? Or to another ally? Alexis and Quentin don't really benefit from it.
(KRAVA MAGA MANUAL boosts VIOLENCE by 1 permanently and raises MELEE/UNARMED rolls to d7)
>YES. (LEX VIOLENCE is boosted to 10.)>NO, but give it to ASHLEY (ASHLEY VIOLENCE is boosted to 7)>NO, but give it to WENDY (WENDY VIOLENCE is boosted to 6)>NO. SAVE IT.After you decide what to do with that manual, it's smooth sailing over to Antlia. It doesn't take much longer until Ashley is able to get a glimpse of it over her binoculars. Your group proceeds to pick up the pace to make sure you can get SOME shelter soon.
<span class="mu-b">A snowstorm is starting to pick up around the area.</span> It's not bad right now but you know that it'll get pretty severe over the next hour or two. Luckily, you arrive at the edge of town before the snowstorm really picks up.

The first guttural reaction you have upon seeing the town yourself is an odd sense of reverence? It's hard to really pin why that was the emotion you felt, though.
Despite being at least 300 years old, the buildings and streets have been frozen in time and almost perfectly preserved. The buildings are far taller than any building you have seen in the City short of actual skyscrapers, towering over your group like grey monoliths from another world. Though the ones at the edge of town don't even compare to the tallest one that's a mile or so away from where your group is.
While the other buildings cap out at 5-6 stories, the clock tower at the center of the town goes up for at least 125 stories if not more. If it wasn't for your group being so far away from it you might not be able to make out the time on it.
It is locked at "11:25". Which is clearly not the actual time but it also hasn't been maintained in god knows how long. You're not shocked it's wrong.
A few ancient cars are parked in the middle of the streets but the main thing that catches your eye is the oddly humanoid shaped piles of snow in the ground. Lex pokes at one of them with his shoe but they just crumple into nothingness after he does so. You swear you heard some odd whispers as soon as he did that.
Alexis holds a hand to her ear as if she understands the whisperings. "...Old Russian. Dialect is too old for me to understand any of it." Makes sense. A lot of non-Universal City Dialect (formerly known as English) has drifted a lot over the years from what little you know.
Quentin grabs a hold of Ashley.
"Wait, hold on-"
Quentin slowly flutters up into the sky with his bug wings to get a better look at the layout of the town with a bewildered Ashley in tow.
