From publisher blurb:
A High-Level Fantasy Adventure for Player Levels 8 to 10
Intended for Use with Most Fantasy Roleplaying Games
After discovering a wondrous vessel capable of flying among the heavens, you managed to somehow activate the vessel. Flying under unknown power and seeming of its own accord, the mysterious ship has now transported you high above the clouds, soaring into the æther over the planet you call home. Now the ship has lost power, your air is dwindling and you find yourself in deep trouble over Terrans.
I am very happy to release the thirteenth adventure in my Old School Series, TROUBLE OVER TERRANS. This short scenario may be used to bring your formerly terrestrial bound players into a wider world of travel among the stars! It is intended for 4 to 6 veteran player characters of levels 8 to 10. In this adventure the players found themselves adrift in the space above the planet Terrans, stranded aboard the inter-spherical ship Marigold, with limited power and a dwindling oxygen supply. The Marigold was featured in our prior adventure SOS11 Ren’s Final Flight, and a map of the ship is included scenario as well.
Synopsis: The adventure begins with players aboard a vessel in low orbit. The ship is on emergency power, having used its reserves to attain orbit. The players have but 15 minutes of oxygen and no motive power. Given this predicament, the ship begins broadcasting a distress signal in Galactic Common on all wavelengths. Shortly thereafter, a response is heard coming over the ship’s internal speakers. They hear the following: “Ahoy distressed vessel, we are coming alongside. By the Spacefarer’s Code, we claim this vessel and all its contents as salvage. Prepare to be boarded”.
Unfortunately for the players, their “rescuers” are a band of piratical marauders who will deem the “contents” of the vessel to include them as well, and they want in to claim their bounty!
Will you players defeat these space pirates and find their way back to terra firm or will they choose to ply the stars?
