A
few of my favorite memorable highlights from the missions I ran on
Saturday will probably be stories the players remember well, too. One
player had a very angry confrontation with a shady Krissethi “guide”
who managed to escape his threatening grasp by using his “Dirty
Fighting” technique, leaving the player's character speaking in
soprano for a while. Later in the deadly forests on planet Sa'mesh,
another player decided that he would ignore the advice of their guide
to watch out for deadly parasitic fish in the river, believing that
because his Omul character was a good swimmer, he could easily cross
to the other side. That didn't go well for him, and if not for the
quickness of that same guide, the unconscious Omul may have been
beyond saving, floating away downstream in the fast river waters. One
of my favorite moments was when the group saw an adorable, fluffy
alien lifeform waddling comically by the shore. They were inclined to
get closer, but one of them astutely decided to observe the guide's
behavior first, and noticed her eyes were wide with fear and she was
remaining absolutely still. The rest of the team quickly mimicked
this behavior and thankfully survived the encounter as the cuddly
creature eventually wandered away harmlessly. When they later
encountered a monstrous lifeform that was truly beyond their
capabilities, they wisely fled and were even able to perform a
difficult computer hack under pressure when the creature cornered
them, barely escaping in time to safety!
