A fast-paced, pulp fiction Flash Gordon RPG Adventure to prepare for the Savior of the Universe. Based on the Savage World Roleplaying Game within the Flash Gordon Universe.
Alexander (Alex) Veldis is a moon cruiser. In other words, a scoundrel, part-time thief, and smuggler. One that takes any job that comes his way, no matter the situation. Well, almost any job. So long as he can keep his ship, the Bombshell, sailing he’s free to live the life he wants. But that’s all changing. With the self-proclaimed, diluted emperor Ming consolidating his power, and the kingdoms of Mongo, running goods is becoming difficult. Profitable sure. But difficult nonetheless. And with the “tributes” to Klytus, the profits are becoming less and less.
An old friend and client, Dr. Moore contacted him about a simple, cushy run hauling passengers from Mingo City to an archeologist dig site in Frigia. One he just founds some references to in an old diary or something. An academic, a dwarf miner, and a couple of big game hunters along with their gear. Simple, right? Nothing an all-powerful ruler of the universe type would be worried about. A quick trip there. Unload. Trip back. Relax. Then return after two weeks to pick them up. Pure profit.
During the opening encounter, the players are meeting at a tavern in the ship port at the request of Dr. Moore. They have been recruited for the unique skills they possess and could bring to the expedition. Dr. Moore has been a bit vague on the expedition details but that is not out of character for the doctor. This is an opportunity for the players to learn more about the expedition and the team members before heading out. Also, an opportunity for others who may be listening.
With the need for secrecy, the expedition lands on the edge of the Pridelands to make sure they are not being followed. Alex is very protective of his ship, the Bombshell, and likes to ensure its safety. Past experiences with the security forces of Mondo, specifically General Klytus, has made him a bit paranoid. But not all is quiet in the Pridelands, others are watching and hunting.
With the players finally arriving at the buried observatory, Dr. Moore sets out on exploring the newly exposed ruins. But why, the doctor has been vague about what he is looking for in the ruins? And the doctor never does anything without a reason. What might lie within the walls of this destroyed piece of Mongo history?
