Stalkers RPG Main Action and Team Status [SEASON 4]

[Neo Emolga]

With the newest revelations, scouring the remaining locations is a high priority. On that note, I shall search the huts near Yellowback Lake. They seem as likely a place as any to hide information or artifacts.

[Search (30a) Cluster of Huts]

The Abyss has Yris in their sights...
I swear, I made it so there's only a 10% chance of this happening!

With the morning having now arrived, you step out of the Emissary base and take flight toward Yellowback Lake, intending to see what lies off in the Cluster of Huts here. Along the way, you feel as though the sun is not quite shining as strong as it used to, but you have a feeling the Abyss is having some influence on that.

Upon arriving at the lake, you head south toward where the water forms a small river that heads to Murky Pond. From what you can see on an initial close inspection, the huts here are not very large and only consist of one or two rooms. In the meantime, they've been abandoned for quite some time now, and while they're not in ruins, it seems most of them are empty and haven't been inhabited for years.

Some huts have holes in the roofs while others have been overtaken by vegetation. Generally, the interiors are empty, save for broken or damaged things that the previous owners left behind. You also have a feeling that if there was anything of value some time ago, scavengers took it for themselves. What you have left are damaged pieces of furniture, rags that used to be carpets and blankets, and broken objects like pots, plates, and the like. None of these huts even had running water or electricity, as if to suggest those that lived here had a primitive lifestyle.

In one of the huts, you find something suspicious, and it has a Stalker's signature. In the center of one of the old huts, you find a strange, almost tribal-like carving that you can immediately tell hasn't been here for long, even though everything else around it looks old and decrepit. When you look at it, it seems to instill feelings of destruction and undoing, but not major enough to inflict any mental trauma. It's more of an unsettling and creepy thing to look at.

You seen indentations on the carving, as if portions of it were dug out in the forms of peculiar shapes. One seems to have black powdery traces of coal while the other seems to be in the shape of a chest..

In the meantime, you look over the carving and it seems there is a liquid-powered mechanism inside. At first you attempt to search for a pot that could use water from the lake, but the only ones are too far damaged to make use of.

{Carving of Deconstruction: +Water-type+, Coal Slot, Chest Slot} has been noted in the Team Records.

Taking note of this, you then investigate the other huts, but you don't come across anything that seems strange or has anything significant of value. You suspect no one is going to make use of these huts and it's unusual that someone did. You have a feeling whoever set that up wasn't expecting anyone to come down this way for quite some time, but now that you've found it, you definitely think there's something strange going on around here...
