Point Pleasant

Point Pleasant is a town in the Forest region of Appalachia.

Background
Point Pleasant sits on the shores of the Ohio River, opposite the town of Gallipolis. It featured the Mothman Museum attraction, dedicated to one of Appalachia's most well known cryptids. After the Great War, the town was first controlled by raiders, before power shifted hands to the Responders, who used Point Pleasant as their outpost. Operating out of the converted church, the Responders held out until Appalachia fell to the Scorched. The town remained a nest of Scorched activity in the following years, subsequently inhabited by the Cult of the Mothman and the Enlightened.

Layout
Point Pleasant's South Road Bridge entrance is barricaded off by the cult's log and twisted tree branch fortifications. The Silver Bridge is collapsed into the Ohio River below and Marigold Pavilion overlooks the town from a hillside to the west.

Most of the buildings boarded up or otherwise inaccessible, but the rooftops are well connected by way of stairways and makeshift bridges. The cult has added fortifications, altars, and totems throughout the town. A burning effigy is located at the intersection closest to the church. On the banks of the river, an elaborate shrine has been set up on the outdoor auditorium.

State Route 81 is situated to the west, running alongside the river until branching off by the main Responder outpost in the church to the east. The church was used as a medical aid staging area and contains a safe, medical loot, a chem station, medical supplies automated vendor as well as the remains of the former faction. The apartment block across the street from the Mothman Museum includes a former store containing a safe. North of this block is an open garage with a potential power armor spawn. Alongside the road behind the museum is an ammo vendor and a weapons workbench.
