Stars Without Number Campaign: On Reynold's World (Session 3 )

This is part of an ongoing campaign. You can find the other sessions over on the sidebar.

The players decided to raid Spiros's compound to free Kasama. They quietly moved out of the camp and circled around to a high tower on the same side of the camp as Spiros's compound. Derby Pope climbed the tower and could see over the wall that the small compound consisted of two buildings, two small shed-like outbuildings, and a heli-pad. One of the outbuildings seemed to be an outhouse.

After he reported back in, they slipped around the back of the compound and scaled the rear wall. They decided that the larger outbuilding was the holding cell that Marcus had described and made their way to the door. They took out the guard standing by the door and GB used his teleport ability to phase into the outbuilding while Derby Pope opened the door.

As soon as the door was opened, an alarm went off. GB pulled Kasama out of view behind the outbuilding as Pope pulled himself up onto the roof and Leonalcus used his holocloak to take the general form of the guard they had knocked out. He turned around and pretended to examine the door.

As a group of men came running around one of the larger buildings to respond to the alarm, Leonalcus told them that he didn't know what happened. His disguise was far from perfect, but it worked well enough to draw them in a bit closer before they realized that there was invaders.

Once Spiros and his men were in close, the team opened fire on them. The firefight was over quick, but got a bit messy when Spiros started throwing grenades. When all of the attackers were down, the team slipped back over the rear fence and made their escape.

Once they were sure that they were safe, they questioned Kasama and he told them that Spiros had only seemed interested in learning who he had told about the door. Once he had established that he hadn't told anybody, Spiros had promised to let him go "once the coast was clear". He did not understand what Spiros was referring to,

They took Kasama back to Wood, who thanked them and agreed to resume talks with Chioma. She also agreed to allow them to use Spiros's compound as long as they were on call for security services. She made it clear that she was no longer interested in any violent confrontations with the union.

After they reported back to Chioma, GB hired Lupe using his henchman ability.

Traveller: Session 33

This session was run on June 15, 2023. 130-2108 They confronted Reverend Kavanaugh about the wrench and the explosive bolts and he changed his story again. He now claimed that, even in his revised story, he had still tried to protect Dieter and his memory. Dieter had not just surrendered to fate and drawn straws after his failed attempt to poison Kavanaugh at breakfast. As soon as it was clear that the paralytic was not working, he attempted to choke Kavanaugh. As the two wrestled, Kavanaugh grabbed a wrench from the toolbox, left in the common room during their repair efforts, and bashed Dieter over the head. He had then flushed Dieter’s body, along with the wrench, out of the airlock. He claimed not to have known about the explosive bolts and said that, because there were only two of them aboard, there were sixteen hours each day where only one of them was awake. Unable to determine if this latest story was true, they informed...

Wilderlands: Session 32

This session was run on February 13, 2023. Determined to find Uggmar, the party, now accompanied by Rasaz, headed back into the dungeon beneath the barrow mounds using the northeast entrance. They decided that they were unlikely to find him on the first level and, rather than risk getting swarmed by skeletons again,they headed directly down the stairs they found on their last expedition. After a hundred foot descent, they found themselves in a large cavern that contained what appeared to be an underground city. The architecture of the buildings they could see seemed to be from an earlier era, perhaps before man learned to work iron. As they began searching the streets, they noticed a woman standing very still in a doorway. They approched her to find that she seemed to be frozen in time, surrounded by a strange red glow. Nothing they did seemed to affect her. She could not be moved, nor could her clothes or body be disturbed. As they were examining the woman, Strange...

Traveller: Campaign Overview

This Traveller campaign is intended to be kind of a history of the Traveller universe (or at least my version of it). The framing device for the campaign is the start of The Rebellion in 1116 with the assassination of Emperor Strephon. The players took the roles of imperial archdukes that were present at the assassination and through them help define the fate of the Third Imperium. The archdukes will be the constant backbone of the campaign, providing context for everything else. We will return to them between arcs spent with other characters in which we explore different parts, and different eras, of the universe. I hope to visit many different times throughout the history of the Traveller universe and to tie events in those times to the fate of the empire in the future. This page will be useful for figuring out which arcs were covered in which sessions. I hope this will make it easier to keep all of the different characters straight and to re...
