Background
Along the road
that runs south into the desert from the city of Shangrila
there is a sign that once was a bright green announcement
that you were one exit from the delightful respite of
the Camping
Grounds. Now the sign is faded and peppered with bullet
holes. Above the faded blue letters that reads: "Desert
Falls Camping Grounds Next Right" is graffiti, red...
like blood... that reads Death Toll.
Long ago the
Desert Falls was somewhere people went to get away from
it all, an idyllic oasis in the middle of the desert fed
by a river that runs from the mountains in the distance
and drops down over a cliff face to create a water fall
that over the centuries has carved a deep rocky pond of
fresh water. As the Badlands encroached upon the desert
and fear of the demonic creatures that inhabit those lands
grew the campgrounds were abandoned.
Until the Taker
came...
The Taker was
a necromancer of terrifying power. He claimed the grounds
as his own and built a bonfire that would burn for eternity,
a beacon for anyone on the road or lost in the wastelands.
Over time the Taker gathered a group of bikers, forming
a gang he called Death Toll. Many of these men and women
lost their souls to the Taker, surrendering their lives
to become his creatures in the night when the Death Toll
bell rang the zombie like bikers would rise up from the
ground. One by one the bikers became transformed.
Women were
captured, enslaved, raped and tortured to feed the pleasure
of the bikers who continued to arrive at the camp and
eventually swell the ranks of Death Toll, and their necromancer
master... until Baby came into the camp. Now everything
is different... almost...
