A Time for Harvest Gameplay - Chapter One

Angel is shaking so bad that he starts coughing as his breath gets stuck in his throat. After a few moments and shaky breaths, he stumbles to his feet, accidentally kicking his cot away from him. "Damn dreams!" he curses to himself, determined to drive away the terror that tries to cling to his soul.

Jon wakes up, takes a pain pill, and sits in silence on his for for a moment collecting his thoughts.

Joseph wakes with a start and almost falls of the chair he fell asleep in. Indstictavly he grasps at his ankle to make sure nothing is holding him

That laughter, I can't get it out of my head

He looks down at the peg in front of him

"Zoogs. So that's what the little bastards are called."

Angel examines the drawing and entry with disgust. "Horrid little creatures, aren't they?" he asks. He scratches at the stubble on his chin and thinks about shaving it, then shakes his head. With Mathis's plan, I might die today. Why should I worry about shaving? he thinks to himself.

He heads out to splash some water on his face and use the outhouse.

"Wait, your uncle knew about these creatures? That changes things drastically. We should work together and find out everything that's in that journal before we go anywhere.
Mathis takes out his notebook and jots this down next to his notes on the zoog.

This journal is a wreck. Camping during the day doesn't do us much good. I say we dedicate today to learning everything we can before we go tonight.

"I think today might be good time to return to campsite at the foot of Broken Hill. We should start excavating there. It's the last place they were seen and there might be a clue to what they were looking for. Those that want to carry on research can return to town. Is there anyone we haven't interviewed yet?"

"I had more than a few warnings to stay away from Agnus Bellweather. Apparently she's some old witch. If you want occult information she might be a good start, if none of you encountered her already?"

"And that reporter we ran into, on our first day here. Didn't he say he had something to tell us? Has anyone interviewed him yet?"

"Unfortunately, I found no other reference to any other creatures in the journal" Joseph says to Mathis as he stands up

"I'ce said it before but it might be worth speaking to the librarians and Amanda, her niece. There was something off about them. I'm happy to speak to them or help at the campsite"

He stretches and reaches for some coffee

"Do you ever get used to the dreams?" he says not expecting an answer

I haven't yet, though that on hasn't bothered me as much as the others have...and that scares me more than anything. Jon says as he adjusts his sling and starts trying to reload his pistol one handed.

Blaine, I don't know how much good I can do at the camp site digging and what not with my arm, but I can help identify anything we find. I'm pretty handy in the library, too, so it's your call.

"If you think the journal is a dead end forget it. I wanna go see the witch and then set up camp at the mountian. Would anyone like to come with me?"
