Redwood Valley (saga)

The Redwood Valley arc of the DBA series is a special storyline taking place in the titular Redwood Valley, a small town in the middle of nowhere with a very low epithet user population. The arc was the first to introduce a series with the same set of player characters throughout its duration, as well as introducing the Companionship stat to DBA. While the arc does have a connected storyline throughout, the episodes mostly focus on character development and interaction between the five player characters and a few key NPCs, those being Rio, Todd?, Jamie, Melograno, Seda, Venus, Queenie, and local of Redwood Valley August.
== Plot ==
=== Part 1 ===
The arc starts with Destruction Bench Agreement taking one of its weird breaks on some obscure holiday no one has ever heard of, like it does. The party, not having gotten the memo, meet Venus outside the arena. She offers to take them out on vacation to Redwood Valley for a week while she meets up with an old childhood friend. The party takes about four hours to gather their things and meets up to drive off by van.
Unfortunately, the van runs out of gasoline during the trip. They barely manage to make it to a tourist trap known as Jurassic Farce, run by shady sleazeball Jeseppe. He attempts to literally trap them in his shitty "dinosaur museum" but is swiftly beaten down by DBA's bullshit, but not before destroying the van. While their stuff is recovered, the party has to make the rest of the trip by foot, which is made easier by Venus' childhood friend August meeting them halfway as their guide.
The party went around the block one might say, visiting the craft store, radio station, museum, arcade, diner, and cemetery. They found out that most of the historical artifacts and records in the museum have been stolen by various hooligans over time, with much of the history being oral. However, their details revealed some concerning potential info on cults relating to The Rat being in the area.
The party spent the night camping nearby August's house, lying in wait to fight off a super powered epithet using bear Saluto.
