    Harumi nods and says, "Uh.... huh.... Well that doesn't sound like anything I am familiar with and this area is not a particularly magical one. Perhaps it would be better to entrust with someone more familiar with such unusual trees. From what you say it sounds like it would need to be planted along a ley line. I know there are several that intersect at various points along the mountain to the north, where the big city is. Perhaps one of those intersections would be more ideal to grow the plant."

    Sam is happy to wait out the storm in the relative safety of this camp. There seems to be electricity here, at least.

    He finds a secluded space next to an outlet where he can charge up his devices. He doesn't have a fast enough connection to do any gaming, so he settles in to binge watch Friends. Again.

    He shoots off quick emails to Auntie Muku and Hanako letting them know that he's out of town, but safe from the coming storm.

    The power is apparently run by a combination of generator, windmill and solar panel setup. Off the city grid entirely. Sam finds that his matrix signal through his satellite uplink works fine when he is outside, but in the building the signal is blocked. There is no local grid though. For now that means he can step outside to do whatever matrix stuff he wants to do, but needs to step inside to charge. He sends off his messages at infuriatingly slow speeds (he actually has to wait a second for the messages to be sent!). 20 minutes or so later he receives replies from each of them telling him to be safe.

    The night passes uneventfully, though the following day is considerably less so. The storm hits around noon and lasts throughout the following night. From the relative safety of the farmhouse, you hear the sounds of wind howling, shutters rattling, and the occasional unknown projectile striking the building at high velocity.

    At the height of the storm, a tree is toppled onto one of the farm walls, causing wind and rain to funnel in through the opening. After urging her people to move to more central rooms where they will still be protected from the storm, Harumi responds by calling forth the spirit of the tree and asking it to kindly remove itself from the hole and protect the building from the storm. The tree rises and stretches out its limbs, providing a natural barrier against the wind. Since it is impossible to repair the damage during the storm, the dryad erects a physical barrier to seal the opening as solidly as possible for now. The combination holds off further damage, for now.

    Wiping some rain from her brow, she approaches Wujen and says, "I am unsure how well that will hold up. It will not be long before the spirit serves its obligation to me and that barrier is not indestructible. If there is anything you and your friends can think of doing to reinforce the opening, I would appreciate the aid."

    "I can help with the barriers, maybe call another spirit to guard against more accidental damage in the storm. I don't know much else we can do until the weather permits us to move about more freely and make proper repairs."

    Wujen puts a protective dome around the main farm building to protect against minor damage and sends a spirit of air out to protect against any major damage. The spirit interposes itself between the dome and various major threats as a couple more trees are uprooted by the storm. Between the protection of the tree spirit and the air spirit, the major threats are entirely prevented. No minor projectiles manage to get past the dome. When morning comes, the storm has passed. Everyone is exhausted, but safe.

    Having essentially been up all night on adrenaline, most of the residents go to bed. Harumi is the one exception, who gets to work repairing the wall. She gathers the major parts of the wall that have been knocked aside by the tree and holds them up to the hole. Slowly, the wall reforms and repairs itself. It's not quite good as new, but it's a wall again.

    Outside, countless trees have been knocked over or uprooted. Some of them will be fine, so long as they are just pushed back up and replanted. Others have clearly been wrecked beyond saving. It looks as though the farmers have a lot of work ahead of them.

    Once your group is up and rested, Harumi comes to you with a large barrel of fresh peaches and says, "This is for you, as promised. I am sorry that we do not have more to offer for all the help you have provided. Whenever you are ready to go, you will be given a ride back to the train station."

    Sun asks if they need a hand with fixing the place up, or taking care of the fallen trees.

    "As always, feel free to call on us if you need help. Do you think the road is clear enough for us to get a ride to the station, or should we try to get back on our own? I could probably figure something out with levitate and some debris, with a spirit to help."

    Harumi says, "The road is always a mess at the best of times since it is never maintained anymore. I will provide a spirit to at least clear it enough for you to be able to make it back to the station. The vehicles we have are designed for poor road conditions."

    Other than fatigue, everyone seems to be completely uninjured thanks to Harumi and Wujen's magical aid during the course of the night. However, there are no doctors out here, so a few people have various illnesses and chronic conditions that they would love to have the opportunity for a doctor to take a look at. A handful of tired folk approach Ichigo with various questions such as, "It hurts when I do this, what's wrong with me?", "Is that mole supposed to be there?", "Sometimes it burns when I pee. Do you have an ointment or something for me?" or "Can you take a look at this rash?".

    Examining the people, Ichigo finds no one in particularly desperate need of attention. He doesn't have any meds to treat the aliments that they have, but most of it can be treated through healthy living and home remedies which he carefully explains to them.

    Well... except for the guy with the burning pee. That guy straight up has chlamydia and will require antibiotics. Somewhat curious how he could pick it up in an isolated farm where no one else seems to have it, Ichigo does some inquiry and eventually figures out the guy spent some time with a prostitute while in town picking up supplies. Unfortunately, the guy has no money for antibiotics and Ichigo has none on him, so the virus will only get worse unless some way is found to treat him.

    Harumi nods and arranges for trucks to take those of you back to town who are ready to go. When you get back to the train station, you find out that there are power outages throughout the city. Trains are running, but at reduced capacity. It is about noon when those of you who head back finally make it back to town. Most unusually, you notice no one getting murdered on your trip through the Kita Barrens. They must be recovering from the storm...

    When Sam gets to a spot with good matrix access (so he can take advantage of the luxury matrix bonus I know exists now) he starts trying to do some research for leads on people who might be interested in purchasing a lot of peaches, and what the peaches should be worth. And the same for the flying broom: who might be interested in buying it and how approximately how much it is worth.
    He focuses more on buyers for the peaches, as he already knows what the peaches they sold previously were sold for, and more on what the broom is worth, as he isn't sure yet that he wants to sell it anyway.

    He runs browse, and configures his deck with data processing at max

    Though the power is off across much of the city, the lines for the rich are still up and Sam has never been so happy to be spending a ridiculous amount on his matrix access as he is now. Without it, he'd be still dealing with that disgustingly slow satellite uplink that he's been forced to endure while out in the wilderness. With it, he is able to access really quick matrix while the peasants all complain about their complete lack of bars and service. This is what kings must feel like.

    Sam has a hard time finding a reliable price on a flying broom as it is a rather unusual item in this part of the world. His best guess is the value is around 90,000 nuyen, but unless he can find a buyer who is specifically looking for a flying broom, he's probably going to have to settle for about half of that if he is realistically going to sell it.

    Finding a local buyer for the peaches is also extremely difficult though the main reason for that is the fact that most of the city is without power or matrix, so they just can't be connected with at the moment. He eventually manages to find some high end shops in the Kinza district that still have power and a steady matrix connection. No one is willing to purchase the entire barrel as they simply can't afford to risk that much product at it's full value and Sam is not much of a negotiator. Still, they are willing to take some of the peaches off your hands.A high end bakery apparently wants to use the peaches in their pies and are willing to offer 25,000 for a quarter of the barrel. A fancy grocery is willing to pay 50,000 for half the barrel. An artisanal ice cream shop is willing to take the remaining quarter for 25,000. All in all, Sam is happy to see a total of 100,000 nuyen coming in for the peaches if you choose to deliver them. Split 4 ways, that's 25,000 for a couple day's work. Not bad.

    Sam lets the others know that he found buyers for the peaches, and forwards them the details. If anyone has other ideas for finding buyers at a higher price, they can give it a try. Otherwise, $25k a piece is pretty good.
    Sam sends messages to Auntie Muku and Hanako to let them know he is safely back in town.
    He checks his email, and a piece of spam catches his eye. He opens the ad for a new data jack product: data jack plus.
