New page

The characters are hired to transport a shipment of legal
goods (four crates of synthetic cloth, three canisters of
crystallized gruth beans, and two dozen boxes of
dehydrated rations, total value 6,500 Credits) from the
city in which they begin play to Rhald’ran, a distant town.
They are even offered the ground transport to do it in (of
course, they must return the transport in good shape or
be liable for it). Sounds like an easy way to earn 500
Credits.

On the way they pass ruined outpost after ruined outpost,
with evidence of warfare and scavenging in each. Perhaps
they have an encounter along the way, something
animalistic feeding on dead bodies in an outpost that
takes offense to the character’s presence. When they get
to Rhald’ran they find the people paranoid and on guard,
very suspicious and very afraid.

Rhald’ran is a religious outpost, a town of pacifists and
zealots. They don’t believe in shedding blood, even in
defense. But they have a problem... they’ve heard
rumors of the neighboring outposts being razed, and now
their children have begun disappearing in the night.
Several of their “brothers” and “sisters” have turned up
dead, and now that men have arrived with weapons, they
believe their god sent the characters in answers to their
prayers.

Although this all seems strange, the truth is often simpler
than one would think. A pirate ship has landed a few
hundred kilometers east of here, after finding deep
running veins of valuable minerals in the mountains.
They’re mining it, and using children to do a lot of the
work (their mining equipment was stolen from a Dralasite
mining ship, so they need short people to do the work!)
The smaller outposts that have been destroyed were just
them getting vehicles, women, credits, and food to keep
up their piracy.

The pirate captain is a wicked Vrusk named Ckitk, and he
has no conscience. He’s very practical, and will do what
needs done. He’s also not stupid - he’ll escape if he can
(an enemy for later!)

If the characters return the children and other captured
prisoners, the Rhald’ranians will reward the characters
with admiration and praise, food and healing.
Unfortunately, though, they have nothing to offer them
financially. The characters will be regarded as heroes and
can come back any time for food and rest.
