The final battle-report for last
weekend's Shore Leave convention involves the end of the Derelict
mission, where the team of agents finally located the pirate's
hideout on a desolate planet. The team braved many dangers to find
the hideout, barely surviving deadly alien lifeforms and an attack by
a Krissethi sniper team (they managed to escape the snipers by using
a nanite hedge/wall and smoke grenades so they could flank them.) The
team finally arrived at a ledge overlooking a flat area where pirates
were loading contraband onto stolen starships. However, instead of
springing into action, the team passionately debated their tactics
and overall strategy for quite a while.
The team finally decided to send their
two Krissethi characters down into the group of pirates, disguised as
the sniper team they had defeated. It was an excellent ploy, and it
worked at first, until they were standing close to the pirates,
spoke, and failed their disguise check. Suddenly, the pirates were
drawing their pistols and katanas, so the characters dropped a smoke
grenade and the others waiting on the ridge rushed into action. The
team was surprised to discover, however, that the Krissethi pirates
were quite accustomed to the low gravity on the planet—suddenly,
Krissethi were leaping 50 ft. through the air and landing everywhere
with aggressive katana strikes. One of the characters used her “Play
Possum” talent and tricked several Krissethi into thinking she had
been killed already in the crossfire, and she managed to surprise and
take out two of the pirates by herself. It was a brutal fight, but in
the end, the characters managed to defeat the pirates, and they even
rescued a female Krissethi biologist that was being held hostage,
uncovering information that could eventually lead into another
mission. I should mention that one of the Krissethi players decided
the female biologist was his new girlfriend!
It was a great weekend, and the players
at Shore Leave were fantastic—they were very clever, great at
role-playing, and were a lot of fun to hang out with. Thanks,
everyone, for making Shore Leave an awesome Solar Echoes experience!
