After the reunion, Thomas steps up to the Grandma and introduces himself and his cause. "Just hoping to swap knowledge and establish relations with other users around the US. I guess it's kinda like the Postman movie with Kevin Costner. I think we can do far better, once we open easy communications again."

“Can you tell me the difference between a witch and a wizard?" "Sure, a wizard is what they call you when they want to hire you, and a witch is what they call you when they're getting ready to run you out of town.” SunWolf replied ― Barbara Hambly, The Witches of Wenshar
Giving her grandmother a hug, she breaths a sigh of relief. She'd almost given up hope- of either her granny being alive or making it all the way to Truth or Consequences. Then she feel the prodding around her backside. Sarah gives the dog the evil eye before giving in and giving it a pat. Once the joys of reunion are over, she wants to know how her granny has been and what her plans are. Maybe ask about the rumors of the town being harassed. Then, of course, she brings up Gramps and that strange little book...
She introduces her dog "This is Einstein the world's smartest dog." After the change she found that she could heal people, very useful in this violent world. Not rumours. We have the dead bodies to prove it. You can go onto the DARPA property during the day and as long as you stay out of the buildings you're fine but nighttime <<shudder>>. 'Gramps' was an explorer and archaeologist who would spend time with the Central American Tribes. Maybe he learned some of their ancestor magic. That where he was when he wrote that book, Guatemala.
While the family reunion is underway, George scouts the surrounding area, looking for evidence of the DARPA critters, foul magicks and/or anything unusual in the town.
Perception: 18
There's a fence around the DARPA compound with the normal "Keep Out' signs plus some new post Change signs "Trespassers will be eaten"
"Well now, that stings a bit." Aleister flaps his hand around as though he had tried to hold onto a flame. He'll try again later, in the mean time he will canvas the good folk of ToC for information about the surrounding area, DARPA and it's environs, rumors about strange goings on, and, of course, he will talk to any 'shaman' healer types about healing.
Perception 19 (for anything heard 'accidentally' as it were)
Investigation 15
Se reply to George. The locals have no interest in going onto the DARPA land but don't care if you do "Everyone has the right to pick their own death."

Your magic is wizard style her's is cleric style. She is a devout Catholic.
She points you to the old codger who can do Sending. He's the local message bank.
Sarah would like to know if her Granny wants to stay in ToC or what her plans are? It seems she will be tagging along with her companions for some time. She'd also like to know if there is anything Granny needs that she can help with.
Thomas is excited at the spell the old codger knows "That's exactly what we need! This kind of magic is essential to making the matrix of communication to rebuild society!" He then spends as much time as possible getting the techniques of the spell down in his book, even though he lacks the skill to use the magic yet.

"Well, you're they only relative I have left and I've always wanted to see Oregon."
George looks Granny over and gives a quick head nod. 'We'll need to get you outfitted for the road Madam. I'll work on a Ghillie Cloak for you to help you blend in a bit more in tight spots. Al, can you work on a walking stick of some sort for her? Might come in handy here and there.'
Turning back to address Granny directly 'Are you up to heading into the DARPA facility with us?'

When Sarah brings up the issue of Gramps, can Granny tell if his soul is actually in the sword or if it is an imprint... or something else. It's been weighing on Sarah's mind.

"Well, Catholic doctrine would say that his soul is not in the sword. I'm thinking that when the Change occurred he started using the sword as a window back into the world because he has unfinished business. The creepy thing he wrote about in his journal."

"I take it Einstein is coming too?" Sarah sighs, giving the dog a dubious look. "Ah well, if he's as smart as you say, he'll be a good lookout."
Uthvern will want to pet the dog, if he will let him. Uthvern likes dogs.
He rolls over and bares his tummy for scratchies.

Aleister have any luck chatting with the local healers? Learning about Granny's abilities, is he able to teach her anything, learn anything from her?
Panic is a mechanism that strengthens the gene pool.
She does have the Medicine skill but she does her healing by calling upon God.

'As long as you're comfortable joining us, we can handle the fighting.'
George smiles and looks around at the party.
'Alright Scooby-Gang, let's go fight some monsters'
Any thoughts on what spells she should take or leave it up to her (me).
Lesser Restoration might be good since we don't otherwise have it. Healing is always good too. The rest can be left to her/you.
