## New Paragraphs

The first 8 are related to the intro leading up to leaving the home base and enering the world map. It's LATE for me, so there are tons of spelling and grammatical errors I'm sure. PLEASE feel free to add variations of any paragraph, or add new ones.

1) You find yourself in a dank cave. Moss glows faintly in marbled veins along the walls allowing you to see a short pathway leading to a wizened old man. He looks familiar, but you can't seem to place him. In fact you feel slightly foggy, and can't remember quite how you got here.

2) As you approach the old man he smiles at you. "Hey there, welcome back!" "Welcome back?", you exclaim, "I haven't been here before.......Have I?" "Well don't worry yourself over it", he says, "It'll come back to you in time. You haven't forgotten who you are now, have you?"
You shake your head to clear the cobwebs, but something seems to keep slipping away from you. Noting the distress on your face the oldtimer relents a bit. "If you live in the wasteland, and you got gear like that, you come from one of three places. The Ranger HQ-Center, the Free Rangers, or the Temple of the Mushroom Cloud. I won't pretend to read your mind, but I can assure you it's gonna be one of those. Head north to go to the Ranger HQ-Center, south to go to the Temple, and take the middle path for the Free Rangers." With an impish grin on his face he slowly vanishes saying to your bewildered eyes, "The chest? I've never been able to dig it out, but I hear it has a great treasure hidden inside..."

3) You step into a room filled with a lush carpet of greenery. White marble collumns reach up around you and trees are casting pleasent shade across the courtyard. "Welcome to the Ranger HQ-Center," booms a voice out of a loudspeaker to your right. "We have established a modern resurgance of humanity in these wastes, by bringing the rule of law to the savage masses. We are the bastion of defense against the fanatics of the Temple, and are the guardians of lost technology."

4) You leave the cave and find yourself in a boulder strewn expanse of dessert. There is a hint of greenery to the east. Out from behind a boulder strolls out a lean figure that eyes you over. "Welcome to the Free Rangers. Live proud, live strong, live independant. These are the three basics of our community. We have allies, but no masters save ourselves. Maybe you can cut it, not everybody can." With that the figure seems to melt into the landscape like a wraith.

5) The cave opens up into a cavern dominated by glowing glass walls all around you. A voice seems to come from all directions, "Welcome to the Holy Temple of the Mushroom Cloud. You have done well to cast your lot with us, as the Holy Atom will surely immolate all infidels who stand before us. Of course before you can join the ranks of the Holy Templars, you must prove to be a usefull piece of the Cloud's holy design."

6) As you prepare to leave the Ranger HQ-Center you firm your resolve. Order must be brought to the unruly, as that is the only chance humanity has to rebuild.

7) As you leave the base camp of the Free Rangers, you reflect on how amazing it is to see so many people with such strong personalities working together to maintain the ideals preseerved from before the war, of the rights of the individual to live a free and meaning full life.

8) The glow of the faintly irradiated walls casts a shadow across the exit. It's quite clear that the Holy Cloud expects results upfront if you want to increase your position in the Temple.

Then we need a range of paragraphs for the base leaders, probably based on key item usage, but some generic ones (ala old Hobo Oracle) related to each faction.
