Winchester/Fairfield Expedition - The Town of Fairfield

[You saw the towns some time ago, but it still took a good couple hours of treading past the farmland around it before you actually reached it. They have a distinctly "old western" type of feel to them, with their dusty, unpaved dirt roads and the collection of buildings-- most of them obviously wooden-- sitting side-by-side along either side of the road.

More observant residents may notice that the nearer they come to the town, the more people that look up and notice, and subsequently hurry off or head inside. And even if you didn't notice it as you closed in, it sure becomes apparent once you step under the archway of the town; there's no one around. The tumbleweed that rolls by almost seems to be mocking the residents.

Another thing that becomes apparent is the state of the town. Besides having gone eerily quiet, some of the buildings have been wrecked. There are gouges in the wood, where it hasn't been punched through or torn apart. Rails are broken, and a few of them even have damaged or missing doors.

Are they too late?]

[Lara lowered her gun and puts it away seeing the people's reactions. She stopped her horse and gets down from it to meet the man]

This has been going on for years? My god...

I'm Lara Croft. We've heard a radio message and we're here to help you, sir.

The creatures? No, they're new. We've been wandering here for years, though.

[He smiles] Thank you, I'm Gene Brewer, it's a pleasure to meet you, Lara.

I see.

Since when did the attacks happen? What else could you tell me about these creatures?

I know little about them, other than they attacked one of the other groups, out in Terre Haute. They eventually attacked us, and we found this place, and hoped it would be safe.

How many were they, you think? Did any of your men managed to kill some?

A lot, we didn't exactly do a headcount. [He shakes his head] We're not warriors.
