Carcosa Salvage Rights (Session 73)

 SESSION 73: The World is Out to Get Lenny! (14MAY18)

            As we prepared to dig out the doors we were delayed , as per usual, by unfriendly abnormal creatures. This time it was a wing of Ptero-dactylus’s, they were a problem for a while as we sussed out a way to manage them. Eventually Ding-We put up a web behind Saff’s illusion and that put the critters to bed. Following up we dug open the doors to reveal an ancient tomb. It was full of treasure-yay! We did have to fight our way through some decaying zombies and more bloody animated statues. Packing up the loot we trudged on. 

Midday we discovered a strange vehicle that had been abandoned in the wastes. It bore unknown markings, black crosses. It showed signs of being in a fire fight and then quickly scuttled of extraneous equipment. Lenny after a few hours of investigation felt strongly that it could be repaired – eventually. 

That evening a starcraft raced across the sky streaming gouts of black smoke until it crashed a few kilometers south of the campsite. It was the last flight of the Icarus. Goods were quickly packed and the chase was on. 

            A little less than an hour later we found the burning wreckage and whom ended up being its sole survivor. Her name was Ensign Astronaut Stewart. She claimed that her Terran (whatever that is) ship was shot down out of warp space by The Visitors, very likely more of the little grey-men that we had encountered previously and the hypothesized source of our demi-humans. 

            Len, after a day and half of being everything’s favourite target was hot for space goods and risked entry into the burning craft. It was ‘alien’, because it was alien and like most good ships had all the neat stuff stowed away. Lenny had the chance to check the other astronauts (Landon, Dodge & Taylor) for sign of life, all were deceased, prior to the vessel exploding into flaming slag.

            This whole bit of yee-ha attracted or was the target for a group of ten riders in full black plate and odd spears. Unknown to all, they were slayers and the spears backed a punch. They dismounted and began blasting from higher ground (shoulda given them a bonus to hit...). There was a difficult battle but our Hobos got through it. After which we grabbed a couple of the spears and made a hasty retreat with our new companion before anything else came to investigate the spectacle. Session ended in hex 2714
