Rescue the colony, complete the corporate espionage, or whatever the current job is and get out. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

As above and the recent volcano in Japan it was the poison gas released that did it. Which can make for some fun for the PCs as they race to save the population from the gases but are blocked by lava flows both on the ground and thermal currents disrupting air traffic. Another fun fact at Pompeii they never found any cats and the only dog they found was chained in a yard. Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |
