LOCATION DISCOVERY: RADIO TOWER

the basics

On a recent venture out in the dark woods, Cao Pi, Kuai Lang, and Rosinante have discovered the Radio Tower! You can see an IC update on this explore here.

The description of this location is detailed below, and has already been added to the map and setting page.

the details

The Radio Tower is stationed far southeast of the Scrapyard, in a mostly secluded, heavily forested area. The main structure is solidly constructed, though not in great repair. There are a bunch of broken windows, walls and fencing crawling with ivy. The fence between the outbuildings hangs ajar, and the short flight of stairs leads to a doorframe that curiously lacks a door.

The inside isn't in much better repair. It seems much like almost everything in the room had at one point been used as a blockade against the door. Now it's just scattered sadly around the place. All the contents are far past their prime, though the dark room is now lit by a single torch. New arrivals to the radio tower are smeared, bloody handprints. Wonder where those came from...

In a small room off the main one, there is a ladder heading upwards. The ladder leads to the radio tower proper, complete with a few barely functioning red lights. It's a bit of a climb to get all the way to the top, though the nest is in the best repair of the entire structure for anyone willing to make it. Well, except for the hole through the metal floor right at the foot of the ladder. Wonder what that's about!

The nest has a full set of radio implements, complete with all the dials and switches and consoles you could ever dream of. What do they do? Good question. Good news is, the radio station does come complete with all the manuals you'd possibly need to figure it out. Seems as if this could be a good way to communicate long distance, if it could be put back in working order. Notably, there are three nooses strung up in the rafters of the nest, though they are not likely to be put back in working order. They're very, very old.

Though, full disclosure, the radio tower seems to have a spirit lurking about. Uncanny and almost human looking, with huge grotesque hands on its arms and its legs, it scampers about like the world's worst spider-man. Below its mask, which almost looks like it is pushed to the top of its head, is a blank expanse of nothingness... until the mouth opens. Its presence seems to disrupt the radio signal, which does give a good indication it might be around... though it does make the fact it fancies the radio tower a bit of an issue. It will lash out violently given the opportunity, though perhaps not without reason. It is currently injured after tangling with the explorers, though distinctly not dead.
