Abel continues to strain his Heightened Vision around the perimeter as Shawn ransacks the cars nearby. "This place gives me the creeps! Wonder if there's anyone alive here?"

He tries to let go of his paranoia but keeps his bow and an arrow ready at all times!

Still nauseated by the smell coming from the building, Goosh Goosh joins Shawn and observes his ransacking of cars. Just watching was interesting enough for the Goosh, seeing all of the junk and parts that he pulled out of the rusted vehicles, id wonders what anyone of them were used for, and... whether any of it tastes good.

Concerned about the smell and possibility of poison, Alex lets his companions handle the more hands on searches for now, and loads his sling while he keeps an eye out for anything approaching.

List of things scavenged from car 1(southern blue sedan):
empty bottle of window cleaner
2 badly sun/rain bleached T-shirts (size medium )
Solidified bottle sun tan lotion
Styrophome cup with a hole in bottom
Mountain Dew bottle With thin layer of green fuz in bottom
Pair of ladies nylons badly ripped

A feint explosion can be heard over head. Looking up reveals the comet has finally broken it's orbit and is beginning it's decent to the north.

"Up above! There it goes!" cries Abel as he states the painfully obvious, pointing with the arrow in his hand as if no one but him can see it.

As soon as the novelty wears off and he sees that Alex is watching it, he'll return to keeping a careful visual reconnoiter of the parking lot and surrounding area.

The Goosh also looks up and notices the brightly glowing object falling from the sky. Id lets out a playful squeaky toy noise and looks eager to check it out!

Shawn puts the empty cleaner bottle and t shirts in his bag and looks up "Ahhh there is our signal bell." He remarks.

Continuing north past the stinky building you come to a fence around the park. It's 12' high chain link, but 50 years of neglect have taken it's toll.
Another explosion from the sky reveals the comet is no longer burning in the atmosphere but is now a decending shiny streak of smoking metal.

Alex Auster

Excited at the prospect of the falling hunk of metal, Alex points and exclaims, "That's it boys! Let's get there before anyone else!"

He then examines the fence to look for a weak spot to simply break through.

The fence is very corroded but keen eyes spot an area near a post that's very rusted.

Alex approaches the very rusted area and uses his heightened touch and molecular understanding to pinpoint exactly the best spot to break the links. Pointing to it he says, "If someone smashes it right here . . . "

The "comet " seems to fall out of control from the sky,spinning end over over end. A feint burst is heard as fire and smoke bellows from the object, seemingly stabilizing the fall. It floats in a wide southerly arc before correcting it's course yet again north.
A woosh of hot air can be felt as it roars over head and then silence as any remaining propulsion seems to fail plummeting the ball of metal and steam over treetops and skeletons of amusement park rides.
The sound of splintering steel, ruptured concrete, and snapping trees is deafening as it makes impact.

The Goosh slides over to the fence and looks at the area pointed out by Alex. The Goosh looks at Alex, then the fence again and starts to wrap idself around the interlinking chains, pausing for a moment after the fence is completely inside the Goosh. Within a short moment, the fence starts to dissolve in id's gelatinous form. "!!! The fence tastes good! What did you guys call it, rust?" Enjoying his new meal, Goosh Goosh makes an opening big enough for everyone to slip through one at a time. "It's good, but the Goosh still thinks cupcakes will taste better..."

The Dralasite steps away from the fence looking like an under cooked waffle where the links of the fence left rusty indension marks. The dissolved rust, no longer holding the links in place, cause a large section to fold away, allowing easy access.
A loud explosion rustles the trees ahead of you and a large cloud of smoke rises to the sky.

"Goosh . . . that was very . . . handy." Alex can't hide a cross between a smile and a grimace.

Abel gawks dumbfounded at the Dralasite and his abilities. "Damn, you gotta be kidding me. Wonder what else it can do?" he opines, barely audibly.

He then snaps to, realizing that the time to go is now! He makes his way over to the fence, crawls through and heads out north with the others, towards the crash site. He keeps his bow and arrow handy, and uses his Heightened Vision to constantly scan ahead and around them as they progress.

The Goosh follows the group shortly afterwards, pieces of the fence still floating inside of id. The Goosh pulls out id's crossbow and loads it with a bolt, following everyone else's cautious behaviour.

Crossing the fence leads the group to a small service road the travels along side a massive skeleton of a roller coaster.
You can see the wreckage after walking a few minutes, but its obscured and can't be made out. A flume of smoke rises from it.
Keen eyes also notice what appears to be some form of vegetation climbing the far side of the rail system and pouring onto the wreckage.
As you walk an inhuman hiss-like scream can be heard from up ahead.
