BEAR CREEK BAYOU, TEXAS- The renown scouting duo of Preston and Childs have
logged a report of an abandoned caravan just west of the Houston ruins.
After a quick recon under the cover of darkness, the scouts spotted a
translucent figure wandering between the vehicles. The cargo appears intact
but there is no sign of the Trader Baron or the caravan guards. A local has
commented that the figure’s description resembles Elliot Bell, an elderly
Law Dog that has been missing for two months.


OLD MESILLA FORTRESS, NEW MEXICO- The Postal Inspector is announcing the
first Annual Postal Carrier Competition. Seven teams of multiple contestants
will attempt to carry the mail from Old Mesilla to Santa Fe, New Mexico.
After a night’s rest the contestants will have to get a five hundred pound
package from Santa Fe to the township of Globe in Arizona. Once that leg of
the game is completed the remaining teams must get a three-page message
delivered from the Mayor of Globe to Piper, the head of the Engineer’s
Society in Apache Junction. The message cannot be recorded by any usual
means. It must be recited precisely from memory.



MEDICINE LODGE, KANSAS- Speed Bump, the resident contributor within the
Convoy, is logging a warning concerning Medicine Lodge. Three days past, the
Convoy rolled though town with a shipment of food, fertilizer and slugs from
Movie Town. Unfortunately, the town has been deserted. There is no sign of
the previous seventy inhabitants. Perimeter scouts for the Convoy however,
have a strange coda to the report. As the cavalcade was departing, the last
cars reported a series of wormling corpses in the outlying buildings. The
monsters had been frozen solid.
