Esoteric Enterprises - Prep For Session Nine

RUMORS

Buddhas are out. Went over to the Bears. Strong morals, right?

Speedfreaks hit the enclave, bailed out the queen and her brats. They're holed up somewhere in town now. Who knows?

It's war season for Squid and Bear. They're going to hurt someone.

Northern Monkeys took up residence in the caves where the rocks used to hang. Wonder if they're planning a move on the Ponda Rays.

Feds are talking about indicting the earrings. Problem with being the last man standing: you're easy to pick out of a crowd.

MIBs hit the library in the old mine, tried to take them out of circulation. They let something out.

WORK

Ponda Ray Family: Ezzy's offer for dead squids is still on the table. 500 a head, if you bring receipts.

Ponda Ray Family: Lenny wants a body dug up and moved out of the Necropolis before the Feds find it. The job pays 2,000.

Smugglers: One of our contacts is looking for some tech from the old Serpent Man ruins to the Northwest. Would part with 2,000 dollars for it.

Red Caps: Buddhas are with the Bears now? Makes no difference. Let's end this, together. 1,000 dollars each for anyone who rolls with us when we knock over Ursus HQ.
