Should we go hunting for some grub and adaptations? Since we are a Lovecraftian horror, I was thinking we could also try something like starting a cult, which would hopefully give us more allies.

Cults are always fun let's go for it!

Cults are fun.
------------------

As you sit and look at the night sky the idea comes to you, your not like others, your a demon prince , elder spawn of the stars  and some one these people should help anyway.
You tell Violet to set the ground work for a dragon cult, she's to find you the gullible, the feeble minded and more money then brains, any one that cane support you.

You plan a step a head, you'll need a meeting venue but that's a tomorrow Simba problem.
For today you want to hunt. 

You head don to the streets and the darkness, in moments you have a sent, your prey is a stumbling woman, she smells rank but attack her regardless, biting an clawing, soon she fall and your able to consume great lumps of her body.


As day dawns you return to Violet, she smiles at you, happy to boost that you have gain 4 followers, " weak willed, it was easy to mould there minds like clay" she says .


With the start of your cult, the need for a meeting venue  is pressing now, others can't take your wisdom on a roof top, even if you tell them your a fallen star god an big J third brother.

Cult meeting place

1: Back in the sewers, its free an safe.
2: Abandoned building,  its free an people can find it.
3: Rented community centrer, $100  per week.
4: Other?

As you think o your xccult you consider its name, its theme, where your going to get its membership from.

I'm at a loss of what to do here. Wait . . .

>Ask "Maximus" how he knows I exist and why he wants me saved.

Do you mean we should try to find Maximus and question him, perhaps at this "Assembly?"

I'm a dipshit. I meant to ask Violet how Maximus knows us.

+1 to asking Violet that. I would also like to add asking her what she is ill with, since she collapsed and bled from her ears when we met her.

I'm going to admit that round about the point you turned in to a dragon sea horse my fugitive spy idea when by the way side.
But lets see where this goes.

-----------------

"Violet how does this Maximus know about me?" you ask her.
"They spy's on there enemy's and the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
That's why i was sent to stop them."

"Thank you for that but can you take me to this Maximus, i'd like to thank them in person."
she blinks, her purple eyes flash as she smiles back at you.
"I would do that but."
"But?"
"but i don't know where he is."

As she looks out over the nights sky filled with the city's light, you put an arm over her shoulder

"Violet, i need to know are you alright?, i mean you collapsed back there and you where bleeding quite a lot." you ask her.

"I'm fine.
Besides we should get doing, lets not waste the night." " she says stonewalling you.

"Do what? i can't run for ever or keep on liveing in sewers and shadows for ever."

then you start to plan what your going to do tonight.
Violet can help you with tasks or be sent to do one alone. (Also do you want to share items?)

1: Scavenge food and water
2: Look for a new hide out.
3: Hunt for new Adaptions
4: Transform an Adaption

We are a mighty Heretek, a master of machinery, a servant of the lord of excess, pleasure, imagination, and creativity and we are more than capable of designing a vehicle ourselves. It is time to indulge in the raw joy of creation. It is time to create our own design. We need something fast, light, cheap and perhaps a little stealthy if possible. We'll set our minions to work expanding the base while we bury ourselves in the thrill of R and D. Well save for the minions who we send to the workshop to make 10 pieces of mesh armour.

+1

Could of done with some details of what you build in the base, but i'll pick some stuff at random.
Theres rules for random vehicle in the old rouge trader book so i'm useing that. (early warhammer is more RPG like.)
------------------------------------

It is time to indulge in the raw joy of creation, you are a mighty Heretek, a master of machinery, a servant of the lord of excess, pleasure, tonight you crave the scream of wild engines, the wail of supercharges and the smell of ozone.
 
You banish every one but a torch holder from the workshop as you begin your art, with archaic mathematics understood by few liveing men, you plot and plan.
The task of building a grav engine and its repulser pods is a slow and delicate task but its one that you must do alone.

For the body work and frame you let more of the war band have the honour of assisting you.
Soon your vehicle takes shape, a shape that you fill with blasphemous technology's, a network of sensors and servo brains.

Finally its ready, well almost your thinking of how to paint it.
Then a breath less rebel bursts into the room.
"Forgive me lord!, i know that you promise the death of a thousand days to any that intrude.
But i must warn you! We are discovered, the governors troops are on there way here and will start there attack any minute now."

You consider the news and
1: Flee in your new hovercar.
2: Manage the defences.
3: Order a counter attack.

Your bases defences are broken in to zones, north, east, south and west , each needs to have a squad to man its defence.

Personally, I think we should use this chance to gently question Violet now that she's conscious. What is her background, and why did she come to warn us? What does she know about the people hunting us? How did she track us down, and does she know how our enemies are tracking us?

+1 All important things to know.

As she conscious you take a moment to gently ask her some questions.
"So Violet what's your story? where did you come from? why did you warn me, hell how did know where i was?"

She blinks at you, " I came from the Assembly, Maximus he told me to warn you, said that he wanted to stop them.
"This Maximus he's your boss right? why did he want them stopped? who are they any way?" you ask her.

She nod and then stares at you blankly.

"What the "Assembly", that's some kind of base? can we go there? " you ask her.
"That the room i started in, silly. Why would we want to go there? its empty."

"Violet you don't know why your here? do you? its like you where born yesterday?"

"Do i really look that old? i'm only 16." she's deadly serious in a way that makes you think that she doesn't mean years.

"ok so do have any ideas about food, cos i'm getting hungry."


You consider your next move as your belly rumbles.

If they've tracked us here, then the sewers may no longer be safe for us. It's not a great location for a hideout anyway due to our enhanced sense of smell, as we apparently "can't get over the smells of the sewer." I propose that we search for a new lair. A rooftop or an abandoned building might work.

If you've been tracked here then its no longer safe.
You carry the still sleeping Violet as you leave the sewers.

The sun is setting in the as rain washes the the streets, you decide to hide in a new lair, one that aup instead of down.
Climbing up a fire escape ladder you reach the top of an abandoned building.
Useing some trash bags and the leaves you build a small nest for Violet to sleep in.
After a few minutes Violet starts to come around, she moan softy.

As she starts to recover you stare at the night an think about what you do next.

Oh shit! She just collapsed?

A. She tried to warn us. She's a bro.
2. If we run, they might spot us. Let's hide and see if we can't come by any good info while they search.

+1

You consider fleeing but you need to see who's chasing you.
Quickly you hide the unconscious Violet behind a few pipes, taking care to place her in the recovery position and cover her with some trash, if spotted you'll run and leave her behind, hopefully they will chase you.

With Violet safe as you can make her you hide and wait.

Minutes later you hear the foot steps of who ever is chasing her, its them the men in black suits.
The likeness of the three men takes your breath away, there identical the the men that you meet at the farm.
Wordlessly they walk around, eyes hidden behind black sunglasses, then they turn away and leave.

After a half hour you consider it safe and recover  Violet, she's stopped spasaming and is breathing steadily despite the dried blood around her ears an neck.

Next you deicide to...
