The surrounding landscape is an arid, flat expanse of more dry cracked earth. Every so often, there is a piece of scrap metal, a broken down car, or some concrete rubble: Ruins of a past long gone. The buzz of crickets and cicadas fills the air near the few places protected by shadow. In the far distance, an enormous skyscraper lay on its side: The corpse of a giant of old. Welcome... to the Valley of Junk.
Marcial finds a shallow pool of water in the shadow of a capsized pickup truck, with some sparse green vegetation nearby. It's the first bit of life that's actually still young and lively he's seen in this area.
Ben finds an old refrigerator within the ruins of a small building, next to an electric stove that is clearly beyond repair.
Adonis spots some pieces of asphalt along the ground in a somewhat-straight line, the trail of which continues on for a long while towards the felled tower. Along the road, the faint outline of a short, wide building can be seen in the distance.
Adonis follows the trail.
The trail continues for quite a while, but it eventually stops at the crumbling remains of a gas station. The doors and windows seem to have been broken, and some short, green grass grows in the shadows. One of the gas pumps has its hoses on the ground, with a small pool of petrol around them that has seeped into the ground.
Adonis goes inside, wielding his strange staff.
There doesn't seem to be much left inside the gas station. It looks as though the place has been picked clean of any goods it may have been selling way back when. However, there is an abundant amount of plant growth in this shaded area.
Adonis searches through the plant growth for something edible. 15

You find... an odd contraption in the back of the gas station. It seems to be made of a hodgepodge of all sorts of different pieces of technology, and it just feels... off. There's a faint green light under a little switch, and imagery of eyes carved, engraved, or painted across several of its surfaces.

Ben likes being called by his name. It reminds him that he's human. Sort of...

Everyone out on the expedition can hear a roar in the distance, coming from the felled skyscraper. Whatever lives there, it doesn't sound too happy.
