So far since our crew met back up, we’ve fought a giant slug (Widget scared it off), several flying feathered serpents (also scared off), several exsanguinated creatures, and a lot of coolant. Oh, and eventually the wrecked ship. It took a while, following debris, to eventually find the wreck. We’d already convinced Widget to fly up 100′ so we could make a map. He saw:
- Northwest: glinting metal a mile away– that would be the shipwreck.
- Northeast: partially collapsed track from a grav train.
- South southeast: wooden structures in the trees, about 2 or 3 miles away.
- Far north: rusted metal spires poking up through a jungle, at least 10 miles out.
- East: spires of another ruined city, 8 to 10 miles away.
When we finally found the wreckage, we discovered one of the crew had rigged up the emergency beacon with a simple solar-panel to keep the battery charged. The rest of the ship was obviously ransacked, but we didn’t find bodies. We did find a note which sorta looks like Amber’s writing, but it’s covered in mud. Hoping we can get it dry to read.
From what little we can make out of Amber’s note, the natives are unfriendly to hostile, so we are heading north, where we hope they went, to the … forbidden zone.
