[HOE] The Librarian's Almanac for September 21st

ROCKY FORD, COLORADO- The town has been subjected to the whims of a very
strange individual. Last month, a biker gang besieged the small village. The
attacks had almost overwhelmed them when a huge man sporting the Maltese
cross on his power armor appeared and rallied the inhabitants in a set of
cunning ambushes that drove the bikers off. Calling himself Saint Vitus, the
strange man demanded that the town provide him with a private home, all the
spare parts they had and food when ever he desired. The townsfolk could not
meet his demands and the bizarre man called them unwashed heathen, used his
power armor to tear his way out of the fort and wreck the few remaining
guard towers around the walls. Once outside, he said that the town was under
a curse from the Saints and that no Templar would ever aid them again. 

NEW ORLEANS BAYOU, LOUISIANA- Bloody Louie, a gunslinger from the area logs
a troubling report. It seems that the enigmatic Mister Whisper has been
sighted hauling a small wagon to the towers of the Watch along the west bank
of the Mississippi in northern Louisiana. When Bloody Louie tried to ask him
what his business was, the stranger only smiled and then vanished into the
local plant life. The members of the Watch said that Whisper was offering
food, blankets, clothes and chemical heaters if the guardians would tell him
if their had been any sighting of construction across the river.


STRATFORD TOWNSHIP, NORTH TEXAS- Convoy Scouts arrive with a load of
scavenged canned goods and a whopper of a tale concerning its northern
neighbor, Lubbock. The scouts had been sounding out the remains of Texas
Tech University when they had made a startling discovery; a pair of heavy
combat cyborgs that were messily missing all of their mechanical
augmentations. The scout said that there were a number of large non-human
three toed footprints in the surrounding dirt, but that the tracks simply
ended a few feet away, liked they had simply flown off.
