Now that the Clan has defeated Peter and his White Stag townsfolk they are able to relax just a bit and enjoy their new freedom. Relaxation would not last long though as living in the apocalypse required constant vigilance, maintenance, and updates to the community. A trader traveling through the area shocked Clan members with his transportation. The trader came rolling through the gate in an F-250 pick-up pulling a trailer containing a wood burning contraption. The wood burning furnace, called a gasifier, was the fuel that powered the vehicle instead of gasoline. A deal was quickly construed for the trader to bring them a gasifier in the spring when he came through again. Cassy, community leader together with the community council members decided it would be beneficial to mount a trading mission immediately to the town where the gasifiers were constructed instead of waiting until next spring. This would also be an opportunity to make new friends and establish allies to strengthen their defense. Should the trader come through with another gasifier all the better. The Clan remained alert for any sign or news of trouble heading their way; the confrontation with Peter and White Stag was still fresh in their minds. The military was out there and they should be making plans to oppose the invaders in the West. This too was on Cassy’s radar as a potential threat. Within the community a stranger named Nestor dwelt. Nestor was a dual personality psychopath. When the “other” came to the forefront he became a mass murderer hearing the sounds of battle as a symphony and the people as actors on the stage. Nestor was definitely a problem. All these issues besides the day-to-day running of the farm and the community were a constant drain on Cassy’s mental and physical state. This is Cassy’s story and the Clan; Cassy’s Clan. Kevin Pierce is wonderful as usual.
