Session 1 (The Abandoned Mine)

NOTE: Die rolls are just die rolls and I will (and have) fudge a roll or two if it helps tell the story I want to tell. The story is more important than the mechanics or “winning” the game. Mechanics are there to assist in telling the story. The characters for the story I want to tell and what I have “rolled” up are heroic characters (a cut above your average person walking the streets but they don't know that yet). All character Stats are based on actual dice rolls on the Background, Motivation, Class, and Starting equipment tables. In the end, I feel it will wash out and tell a great story. – The Storyteller

The start of a new week with a new crew. Lars assembled the crew aboard the Starbound Reckoning to discuss their new opportunities.

Lars tells everyone that he's going to find some work so they can earn some credits and he strongly suggests that everyone find something productive to do while he's gone.

Valeri said “I'm headed out to shoot some Sand Runners in the warehouse district. I'll be back later”. Phil speaks up and says “That sound like fun. Mind if I join you?”. “Not at all.” Valeri says.

Aden stands up. Looks at Khivrak and Narira and says “I'm headed downtown. I know a guy who knows a guy. Maybe I'll find something useful.” and he leaves.

Khivrak simply stands up and walks out behind Aden.

Narira stands up and leaves as well.



Later that evening…


Valeri and Phil were the first to return to the ship. They were discussing the importance of “leading your target” and by how much when Aden returned carrying a MASSIVE Krogan Hammer.

“Where did you get that thing!” Valeri explaimed.

“I traded a Volus Merchant who seemed desperate to trade. I mean I gave him that Polaris Tool junk for this thing!”. Aden said excitedly

“You do realize that a Krogan Hammer is indeed a rare find. What's even more rare, is finding a working Krogan Hammer. Phil said. “Ha! Jokes on him then. That Onmi-Tool was busted!” said Aden

“I guess we'll see what Khivrak has to say when she returns.” Valeri said.

When Khivrak returns, she let Aden know that for a human to be in possession of a working Krogan Hammer, that human must take it from an elder Krogan Warlord after taking his life. She laughed loudly and gave him the bad news that he was in possession of a non-working Krogan Hammer possibly discarded by its previous owner on the field of battle when it malfunctioned. The fact that a Volus merchant was willing to part with it for the mear price of an Omni-Tool, working to not working, should have been his first clue that the Krogan Hammer was non-functional.

Narira returned just before Lars and was explaining the salvage mission details when Lars walked in. She continued, “There are potentially some good credits to be made but there's a catch… we have to pay the broker 2 credits for the salvage permits.”. “Do we have to start right away?” asked Lars.

“There's a lot of interest in these salvage jobs due to their lucrative nature.” She said. “The quicker we act, the quicker we can get some credits.” (salvage jobs are only available during the turn in which they are discovered).

“or perhaps we could do the Nubian Group a favor.” Lars says.

“Why would the Nubian Expanse Council want us to do them a favor?” Phil asked. “Don't they have operatives to do their “favors”?”.

“Well, I actually cashed in a favor from Captain Angelico Haymore that she owed me. All we have to do is go have a look at an abandoned Eezo mine. It's right here on Yamm. A salvage crew went no-comms a few weeks ago and all she needs is an “eyes on the ground” thing. We go in, take a look around, talk to the salvage crew, and earn a few credits. Maybe Phil can take a look at their Comms issue while we're there. Hell, she's even offered transportation to and from the site! (Job Hazard)”.

“What do you guys think?” Lars asked.

“Even “off the record”, I'm sure this would put us in good standing with the Council and that could be a very good thing.” Lars continued.

Narira speaks up and says with a wink “Maybe there is a little Eezo left there as well.”.
“I say let's give it a shot.”
