Just looking for any little descriptions that grab you. An especially vivid trip in the Barrens, an ugly image of the corp hideouts, or a great description of the scariest troll 'borg you've ever heard. Really, just a few sentences are what I'm looking for - if I could have a database of *great* descriptions to through at my players.
To get it off, here are some shots of the Redmond Barrens. (They're designed to be a little on the dark side, to show why the Barrens are A Bad Thing.)
A rag man, his ancient face covered in boils filth, pops out from an abandoned car and snatches a devil rat with his bare hands. As it squeeks and gnaws on his thumb, he bites deeply into the stomach of the beast. Blood runs down his chin as he returns to hiding behind the wrecked car.
Three rag-men, an elf, a dwarf and an ork, sit around a trashcan fire, spitting quick, violent words across the flames. Fast as a gunshot one of the dwarf puts a dagger into the elf's throat, knocking the fire over on to the ork. As the elf gurgles and the ork rolls screaming, the dwarf flees down the street, leaving his friends to their fates.
A young woman, barely more than a child, with bright eyes and cheeks covered in cherry-red make-up, glances in your direction as a long, black car pulls up in front of her. A window rolls down a fraction of an inch, and the dwarf standing next to her, flashing his colors and rotten teeth, steps over and mutters quickly with the person inside the car. The girl starts to protest – you can hear her whimper from where you stand – but the dwarf slaps her across the face, hard and brutal as a car-wreck. Then he turns, smiling as the passenger door opens, and shoves the girl inside. As the car slowly down the street, one block, then two, the dwarf walks into a nearby alley. The car halts, three blocks away, and a gunshot flashes from the backseat. The door opens, the girl's body tumbles out, and the car speeds away.
Danke.
