Carter"Hmm... ghouls, heh?" she said to herself, recalling what she knew about them.
OOC: In most worlds I've seen ghouls in, they tend to be dumb, low-'level' corporeal undead akin to zombies but typically faster and more agile, though relatively weak. Still, as I'm not sure if the ghouls in this verse fit that description... 12 (Ef) in General Knowledge (Monsters/Weaknesses) to recall what she knows about ghouls in the EAS verse.

There are a lot of Ghouls. The majority of them are humans for for whatever reason degenerated and mutated into flesh eating feral creatures despite not being undead.

Nodding to herself, she turned on her car's engine and began driving. 2 in Vehicle Operations to head over to the location in question, or at least the closet parts of civilization before reaching the desert in question.

You arrive at a small bordertown near the Oklahoma desert.

She looked for a bar or something along those lines, as nobody would take her seriously in a more... civilized environment... in that outfit. 5 in Intelligence to do so;
1 in Vehicle Operations to keep looking.

She took a deep breath and walked into the bar in question, silently lamenting how she was basically the living setup for a rather bad joke. Only, she was the one dressed as the joke.

You walk in the car to a chorus of laughs and catcalls aimed at you.

"Yes, thank you, I'm well aware that I'm hilarious", she said, sighing. "I lost a bet, okay? ...Sue me", she grumbled as she walked up to the counter.
"Look, can I get a beer and some information? Preferably without any snarky comments", she asked whoever tended to it. "...I've heard of... stories, about the desert. Something dangerous there. Threatening people? Rings a bell?"

"Right, right. Superstitious nonsense for sure", she said, playing along. "...That being said, there might be an actual, flesh and bones beast worth hunting around there, which is why I'm here. Big game hunting and all that jazz", she claimed. "Any idea where those stories are said to be happening, in particular?" she asked. 6 in Social Skills (Persuade, Bluff/Lie, Huntress) to claim that while she doesn't believe in supernatural rumors, she suspects there might be a real thing to hunt, hence her interest and her request for additional information.

"Got a map?" He asked.
If you didn't he was able to pull out one. "Sightings and attacks are here, here, here, here, and here." He said marking five locations relatively close to each other outside of town.

"...Right. Thanks", she said, taking her leave right away, sighing.
She headed back to her car and headed towards the first location's coordinates. 1 in Vehicle Operations to drive there.
