Haig

**Haig** is an abandoned city, its inhabitants long dead.

## History

Haig's structure is largely hidden, and it looks like honeycombs. At the very heart of the city, there lies a well, which goes at least 300 meters down, and has squishy mud at the bottom. There is also a humongous statue of the powerful and terrible demon Khayat, whose eyes seem to follow you, even as you move. Ghost field.

About a century ago, the entire city was murdered by a dreadful explorer named Indiana, who put heart calm in the well. The people died slowly, and their ghosts remained in the city, unable to find rest, until Neville courageously solved the murder, all by himself.

## The Foolhardy Exploration of Haig

One fine day, while the members of the Chaos Crew were sitting about their campfire while Deej made some horrifically smelly soup, a truly delightful woman appeared, almost as though from nowhere, and offered to be apart of their crew. Neville is surprised the soup didn't put her off.

For some truly inexplicable reason that Neville cannot comprehend, the Chaos Crew decided to wander into the abandoned city. Richard attuned and got very woozy. He also got rather stressed out, and decided to gamble with Deej, but he lost (twice!) and now he owes Deej several favors.

Later on, Zargothrax decided to attune also, and he sprained his baby toe trying to kick the statue of Khayat, and the statue of Khayat came to life, and they were surrounded by echo-y ghosts! It was all the wizard's fault. At least Neville was safe under the Zargothrax's jacket. The demon told them that if they wanted to leave the city alive (Neville was already dead, of course), they must discover what killed the people of Haig all those years ago, and bring peace to the ghosts. They accepted.

The ghosts led them to a deep, deep well, where they let some creatures down to see if it was safe for living people to descend (they detect toxic gases and stuff). It was decided Fred the Fragrant would be lowered into the well in order to search for clues as to what had happened, since Fred doesn't really like ghosts (Neville will never understand this), and the rest of the crew wanted to rid themselves of his stench, anyway. The only problem was, once he got to the bottom of the well, Fred decided to be Fred, and stubbornly refused to attune. So, Neville was called upon to help, and he did so, valiantly. Beneath the squishy mud, he discovered a stick.

It was at this point that Neville acquired his beautiful jacket.

Fred the Fragrant and the illustrious and incredibly benevolent ghost Neville ascended from the well with the stick and a sample of the mud. As it turned out, the stick had an inscription on it, and was actually a peace pipe, which would mesmirize those who smoked it, apart from its owner. The mud contained traces of heart calm, and as it turned out, there had been an evil explorer by the name of Indiana who had used it and the peace pipe to murder all of Haig's citizens.

The Crew was now free to leave, but the wizard decided that he simply must tell Khayat just how much he sucked. He made several futile attempts, and ultimately, all he accomplished was becoming paralyzed, and Deej being swallowed up by the city. Deej was safely returned, and secretly still had the peace pipe. Here, Fred the Fragrant decided to give his boots to Gilda, for her to clean them (she didn't take very kindly to this, and still has his boots, to this very day).

Neville led the way out of the city, strutting in his new jacket, but the Crew was attacked by some life-force devouring bugs. Fortunately, those who were alive made it out, still alive, and returned more or less safely to their camp.

And thus it was that Neville saved the foolish Crew and brought peace to the ghosts of Haig.
