Vibe: 54/69
The party arrives at Palebank on the planet Dart, including Thiwar, Mary, Guthix, Solus, Rumbe, and Ren accompanied by Drake, Derek GiGi, Mike, and Ximmith.
The group has two agendas:
The group, teleported to Dart by the TeleVacation Corp., must return to the teleportation platform in Palebank (located in Section 2/10 of the planet) in exactly one week. Upon arrival, the party meets Hanky the Blacksmith, that recommends they find more information at the Broken Bottle, a bar located down the street. Within the bar we meet Zub (Xixil) the barkeep, Rhonda (Shaarl) a patron, and Yoshi (Human?) the kid assistant. The group manages to obtain a map of the area in exchange for electrum, which Zub found especially interesting. Perhaps the metal is not naturally found on Dart?
The map reveals the location of the G3 Saloon, a three day's journey on foot to the North, along with other nearby settlements and locations of interest. We return to Hanky to ask about potential transportation services, to which he recommends Marphen Laloz who owns a gas-powered jeep at the end of town. For a hefty sum of around 250 gold, Marphen agrees to transport the party to the G3 Saloon, cutting the journey down to a mere matter of hours. Shortly into the trip, the entourage is attacked by three armed bikers. With clever spell-usage by Thiwar and Guthix, and flashy martial combat from Solus, Mary, and Drake, the bikers are swiftly defeated. Solus, Mary, and Drake agree to take the bikes to travel in tandem with Marphen's jeep. The session ends with the group arriving at the crossroads between the G3 Saloon and the Greed Hollow to the West, where they find a desolute, caged man. The prisoner claims his punishment to be a display of his minor crimes in Greed Hollow, so the party assists in his healing and sets him free. Next time, the group continues on toward the G3 Saloon, the possible missing left arm of the Gengar V mech.
A side note, we jump back to the party aboard the Destiny to briefly learn of a new crafting lab for spare collected tech, assembled by Matt and Kegal. This allows anyone with tech, material, and a power source to create or upgrade gear or machines up to the size of a small starship.
