Hold up, there are Deathclaws all over the damn place north of here. I'd turn back if I were you.

Chomps Lewis is the foreman of Quarry Junction living in the mining town of Sloan in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background[edit]

Lewis and his team are unable to work due to an infestation of Deathclaws in the quarry.[1] Chomps runs a side business acting as the middle man between his daughter, Melissa, a member of the Great Khans, and NCR soldier Private Tyrone, trafficking chems.[2][3][4] Chomps does not recommend visiting New Vegas, explaining that it is a good way to burn through a month's pay quickly.[5]

Notes[edit]

  • As soon as the Courier is about to enter Sloan from the south, Chomps will force a conversation warning of the deathclaws in the quarry and advise a safer way to get to New Vegas.
  • Chomps will greet the Courier differently if they enter Sloan from the north.
  • When telling Chomps that they will take care of the deathclaws, his response will differ depending on if the Courier's level is higher or lower than 15. If 15 or higher, he will show confidence that they will be able to do it. Lower than 15 however, he will question if they have any knowledge of deathclaws and that he does not believe they will be able to kill them.
  • He may not be present at night.

  1. Courier: "I repaired your generator."
    Chomps Lewis: "It's nice to see things going the way they're supposed to, for a change. I'm going to pay you out of my own pocket for this one."
    (Chomps Lewis/Dialogue)
  2. Courier: "How do you know Melissa?"
    Chomps Lewis: "She's my daughter. Takes a little too much after her mother, rest her soul, but she's happy with the Great Khans, and that's enough for me."
    (Chomps Lewis/Dialogue)
  3. Courier: "I'm looking for a suitcase filled with chemical supplies for a... friend. Know anything?"
    Chomps Lewis: "Ah, yes. I think I know which friend you mean. Even if there weren't Deathclaws in the quarry, there'd still be no delivery. The supplier, a guy in Primm named Tyrone, is a cheating son of a bitch who won't deliver even though he's already been paid in advance."
    Courier: "Has Tyrone cheated you before?"
    Chomps Lewis: "He's always been shady, but this is the first time he's outright screwed me."
    (Chomps Lewis/Dialogue)

  5. Courier: "What can you tell me about New Vegas?"
    Chomps Lewis: "I've been there once, and I don't recommend it. It's just a way to burn through a month's pay in five minutes. I've seen a lot of folks come through here thinking they'll have the easy life once they get there. It never happens."
