On another club outing with Stargrave Jeremey ran a game set on the legendary planet of Fenris, with Stephen providing a dramatic write up of the game …<\/p>\n

The game was set up in the ruins of a city with the robots of Fenris on patrol throughout the region. The crews of four ships arrive to search for loot.<\/p>\n

Each crew was given a random mission brief providing additional bonuses to be had based on those missions. Stephen ended up with a mission that allowed the crew to pick a rival crew and gain extra credits for any kills against that crew.<\/p>\n

\u201c100 Credits!? You gotta be kidding me. I want 200.\u201d Kersh Wilson banged his fist on the table for emphasis.
\nHis opposite number leaned forward. Only now did Kersh get an idea of his features in the half-light of the smoke-filled room \u2013 the flattened nose, the red skin and ritual scarring. Kersh was dealing with a Creduxian.
\n\u201cI\u2019ll tell you what I\u2019ll do, Kid,\u201d said the Creduxian. \u201cWhat I\u2019ll do for you is make it 150 credits for a kill. Just 75 for a hit. Do we have a deal?\u201d
\nKersh leaned back, trying to recover his composure, remember the calm and measure he\u2019d been taught as a young student by his masters.
\n\u201c150 for a kill, huh? Yeah, OK \u2013 we got a deal.\u201d
\n\u201cGood. Good. I\u2019ve made it easy for you. The hit\u2019s name is Offler dZuk \u2013 she killed my kinsman. She\u2019s a crew member on a ship called The Troubadour. The captain\u2019s name is Ash de Vere. I\u2019ve had one of my cronies slip Ash some information about some ruins on Fenris. Told him there was money to be made. So I\u2019ve got \u2018em off-planet for ya\u2019, somewhere quiet, somewhere away from the eyes of the lawmen. Who knows, maybe you can make some extra loot out of it yourself\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Kersh and his crew, as well as trying to collect loot tokens, had a special mission \u2013 extra money for taking an opposing player\u2019s crew down to zero Health.
\nFenris was an area of ruins and covered in undergrowth. Also present were some battle droids, so they\u2019d have to take it careful. I had to choose which player I would have to try and shoot. It would have to be either Andy or Phil, as they were either side of me. I looked at where the loot tokens were and I reckoned that I was more likely to bump into Andy, so it would make sense to have him as my target since there was every chance we\u2019d exchange gunfire anyway. Where I deployed there were two tokens that shouldn\u2019t be too difficult to grab. I pretty much split my force in three \u2013 crew Captain Kersh Wilson (a mystic) led a couple of his crew after one token. Shoggoth (a biomorph), the first mate, led some crew after another. I had two raw recruits who I decided I\u2019d send after the furthest away, but also with an eye on the possibility of taking a pop at Andy\u2019s crew if the opportunity presented itself.<\/p>\n

Oh yeah, I also had a pathfinder and used his extra speed to lead the way, draw any fire, see what droids were about etc.
\nI took the first token without too much difficulty. At that point Phil rolled a bad initiative roll (any roll of 4 or under meant a random droid would appear \u2013 Phil proved good at rolling low\u2026) and a droid appeared near my crew. Kersh took out his lightsabre (sorry, \u2018void blade\u2019 *ahem*). The droid took a shot and Kersh deflected the shots with his blade. He then concentrated carefully and caused psionic flames to shoot from his hand and engulf the droid. Didn\u2019t do too much. So he drew his blaster pistol and let off a couple of shots. Down went the droid.<\/p>\n

The two recruits \u2013 a robot called 2B-55 and a pale-skinned alien called Ronnock Crowder \u2013 advanced through the ruins. Not too far behind was Shoggoth and Yammet Lament, an ex-commando. TwoBee and Ronnock by-passed a loot token, leaving it for Shoggoth, and took position behind some ruins. Because on the opposite side of the road two of Andy\u2019s crew could be seen trying to unlock a loot token.<\/p>\n

Both TwoBee and Ronnock drew their pistols and started shooting. Down went one of Andy\u2019s crew \u2013 Offler dZuk. She was only wounded, so on Andy\u2019s activation he decided to pull her back. But TwoBee and Ronnock let rip again, and this time she wouldn\u2019t get up \u2013 down to zero health. But was it a kill?
\nWith three loot tokens, and having successfully completed their special mission, I decided discretion was the better part of valour and got my crew off with all their loot.
\nIt had been a very successful first mission for Kersh and his crew.<\/p>\n
