So, here is report by my hero Rastko Rascalrunner, independent adventurer...
"X2F5 is one of these places where future galaxy heroes will be made, and this is why I am here. The whole system is owned by CO COmpany who officially use it for mining, but the real treasure here is the only habitable planet, where remains of ancient civilization can be found, and among them often artifacts of great value.
Planet is lightly infested with Xenos, but CO C. is reluctant to call the army to purge the place, afraid that some valuables might be lost in the process, trusting into mercenary groups who descend to the planet on their own to find and retrieve ancient artifact.
I received inside information that one such artifact, Xenopiramyd, can be found among the ruins freshly discovered under desert sands.

I landed south-west from the ruins. Moving as fast as I could I entered oasis to the east of me. Between two pillars I found one of inexperienced boys who are coming to the system in dozens. Kid was still alive, although knocked out cold. I left hem where he was. If he is still there once I finish the job, I will pick him up. If not, well too bad...




So I picked up the Xenopiramyd, and returned to the first oasis. I figured, while I am here I might take wounded kid back to civilization, he might turn to be useful one day.
No new xenos appeared on the way back..."

When you play 2HW games with one character, you have to be lucky, or it's Game over. I was very lucky this time. No activation doubles were rolled, so no surprise xenos appeared.
Also, my hero ended CC with Buzzer as winner, even if xeno had 1d6 more to start with. Quest object appeared in 4th "room" that is neither too soon nor too late. Finlay, when I failed sneaking test, it turned out not to affect the outcome at all.
All in all, this was a fun game, and I am looking forward to the next adventure.
Looks like fun -- I enjoyed reading the report.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. You show the fun that can be had with small amounts of figures. Thanks for posting
