Bug Hunt - Kethira Station, Actogor System

I didn't want to 3d print 20 or so "Slithering Horrors", so I decided to try this turn in Roll 20.  Created some quick macros to help, uploaded some tokens, and went at it.  Based on the results, I should have stuck with dice and minis....


"Ok, Team - Listen Up", Dude said, her voice shaky, "We have our next mission.  Kethira station in the Actogor system has been infested by some kind of alien goop-creatures.  We go in, burn them, get out."

"Dude, calm down.  I know Gunny left, but it's just us." Kevin said.

"Quiet down, Kevin.  Here's the layout of the station.  We hit these three spots, kill as many things as we can, and call for evac.  We're bringing my incinerator, Flamey, and grenades.  Now suit up, and move out."

The team moved in, securing  the entrance.  Blips all over. 

The team advanced, getting through the main doorway, burning and shooting their way through many of the Slithering Horrors.  Dude and Vile stayed in the larger room, while Kevin led the Troopers to secure the lower docking bay objectives.

Unfortunately, many Horrors appeared in Kevin's path, and he went down with most of his troopers.  Vile moved up to cover, but the swarm overcame him, as well.  Finally, Dude moved back, taking care of two of the three objectives before she, too, went down.

The team was emergency evac'd.  Kevin was just knocked out, and would recover.  Vile received minor wounds, but Dude did not make it.

Losing both Gunny and Dude made Kevin think about his future.  Unity kept throwing him at the meat grinder, so he chose to leave the service, and strike out on his own.  He felt drawn to the desolate wasteland of Besula, a former resource extraction colony, now a hive of crime, by a force he could not understand, so he used his severance to buy a ticket on a commercial ship.

Thus ends the Bug Hunt campaign.

Campaign Turn 13 - Hesione - Nervous Tapping of Fingers

Image
 After a long hiatus, I am back (hopefully).  Documenting the last turn I played before shutting down for a while. Celebrations over, the crew of the Renegade Pigeon prepared to finally discover the mystery they had been tracking down since they first banded together.  The two artifacts that they had - one given to Kazi by her mother, and one in the possession of the alien treasure-hunter, Vonthos, led to Hesione. There were many challenges along the way.  And today was no different. "She went where?" Jaxx asked.  "Out to explore", Selene responded.  "She and Miak went out together." "Hey boss - don't look at me like that" Miak responded.  "She has a mind of her own, you know." Jaxx sighed.  They had made sure their many rivals were distracted, but Hesione was getting too hot.  "Boss - while we're waiting for Kazi, I got us a job.  Simple in-and-out, taking out some mercs who captured a corporate outpost.  Good pay." &

Campaign Turn 11 - Shan-2 - Keast Makes His Play

Image
The crew was sitting in the food court area of the smallest, filthiest, quietest area of the tertiary spaceport on Shan-2, an iceball world in the Actogar system.  Low population of mining folk; good place to hide out for a bit. As they were finishing their meal at the Astro Burner Taqueria, Selene, always watchful, noticed something.  A group of Unity Grunts were talking to a well-dressed (and quite out of place) person, just at the edge of vision.  Jaxx tuned his communicator to the "bionic ear" setting, and listened. "Yes, Sergeant, I am sure these are the miscreants that opened up Native City WY445902 whatsit on Hesione.  These anarchists cost you good men." "We don't have warrants or any evidence." "All taken care of, Sergeant."  The well-dressed man slipped the Sergeant a thick packet - the sort used to hold Creds.   "I guess this is authorization enough.  Ok, men - these anarchists caused a number of our brothers and sisters their
