Operation: ShoreLeave 40 (part 5)


What could have been a very tragic death was thankfully avoided when the team stopped to aid their fallen team member. They managed to stabilize him with repeated injections of medical nanites, but, because he rolled poorly regarding where the car hit him, his left leg was damaged beyond repair. The bones had been completely crushed, and the leg would soon atrophy and fall off. Thankfully, he was a Krissethi, so in several weeks' time he could regenerate the leg, but the poor guy was no longer as nimble as he once had been. Meanwhile, the characters tried to pursue the delivery truck, but two unmarked cars showed up and attacked. An intense car chase ensued, with bullets fired and a few sharp car maneuvers, but when the characters in the lead car threw out a gravity-pulse grenade at their pursuers, the explosion caused a loss of control of one of the cars and it crashed into the team's trailing car behind it. The remaining enemy managed to severely damage the other group's car—both of the teams' cars were damaged severely and they were no longer able to follow. Unfortunately, the smugglers escaped, but the team had nearly traced them to their hideout. It was an impressive mission, and the team gained 1.5 times normal experience points typically earned for this mission—almost enough to level up after only 1 game session! Sadly, I had to pack up and leave the convention at that point, so I had to end things there, but I was really impressed with how effective this team of gamers performed!
