Megana looks annoyed at both of their bickering but just deals with it "i agree but lets becareful and stick together*

[Manson-Mage]

Vi undoes the harness on herself , and starts to check her armor and items . She thinks to herself," sure outta fuel what else xan go wrong!"

[Chaser1]

Megana looks annoyed at both of their bickering but just deals with it, "I agree, but let's be careful and stick together."

Dusty shoots her a thumbs up as he secures his warm clothing, his pack and makes sure his warm hat won't blow off.

Vi undoes her safety harness and does an inventory of her armor and equipment. oO(Sure, out of fuel... what else can go wrong?)Oo

As the bay door opens, Dusty kicks some of the horse poop out and makes sure to feed it. The three hike down the hill through impossibly deep snow; making the five hundred yard journey feel like miles. Eventually, they enter the town of Alexander. It's a humble little town, with a few shops and a trading post. Only the trading post still has lantern light glowing from the inside. Most of the town inhabitants are in their homes, staying warm.

About one hundred feet from the edge of the first buildings in town, the three pass four tall snowbanks. Suddenly, the snowbanks burst open to reveal four armed and armored, what look to be, soldiers, wearing white fur coats, leveling their rifles at the three.

"Hands in the air!" One of them screams.

[Icy_Drake]

Megana puts her hands up slowly to not spook then further "we are here to buy fuel and supplies" she spoke loudly but calmly.

[Chaser1]

Megana slowly raises her hands to avoid spooking them further, "We're here to buy fuel and supplies," she slowly bellows.

Vi also raises her hands beside Dusty, who does the same, "Hold up, fellas. No need to get a boner for us. We just noticed the town and we're low on food and fuel. Please?"

"Nice story. Move!" One of them motions for the trio to continue walking, hands raised, into town where there's less snow.

Dusty sighs, "Well, not exactly a warm welcome, but at least we might get good food."

[Icy_Drake]

"Just lets focus on getting food,fuel and other supplies and then getting out of here fast"Megana follows the gaurds

[Manson-Mage]

Vi follows Dusty and Megana," dream high and aim low , guess we gonna be screwed either way ."

[Chaser1]

"Let's just focus on getting food, fuel and other supplies. Then let's out of here fast!" Megana emphasizes as the three march into more shallow snow, then eventually into the streets of the town.

"Dream high and aim low. I guess we gonna be screwed either way," Vi grumbles as Dusty nearly slips on ice concealed by the snow, but manages to catch himself and prevent himself from falling.

The jumpy guards promptly have rifles all trained on him. Luckily, no itchy trigger fingers. Dusty keeps his composure as he reraises his arms. "Sorry bout that. Was unexpected..."

The lead guard stays put as the other three back up, keeping their rifles on the ready. "If you're to enter our town, then we need you to surrender your weapons and armor. We have an Inn if you need a warm place to stay. We have a few questions before that though," the guard nods to the others to relax somewhat. They lower their weapons, but only slightly, as he continues, "Do you have any other reason to come here either than food, shelter, fuel and supplies? Secondly, what sort of vehicle is that parked up on the hill?"

"It's a Deutschland armored personnel carrier, designed for transporting combat troops into battle against the demon hordes," Dusty states in a very rehearsed voice, "It's been stripped of weapons and is low on fuel. We can afford fuel if you have it."

The guards seem to be gauging everyone's reaction to Dusty's comments as Dusty continues, "We just need the fuel, a warm meal and maybe some extra for the road, and any useful supplies for a long drive through this winter wonderland," dripping with sarcasm.

The lead guard turns to Megana and Vi, "Ladies, do you and your grandpa have any supplies to trade in return?"

[Icy_Drake]

Megana begin to think on what they could trade for all this....

[Manson-Mage]

Vi looks at the guards ," what do we have for trade ? We are here for supplies . I dont think we got anything to spare for trade ."
