Flash Gordon RPG Adventure Overview

Chapter 1: The Chase

Recovering from the stunning discovery of Flisk’s treachery, Alex sends Rocky to prep the Bombshell for takeoff. Then, along with the rest of the party, Alex heads out to the opening in the observatory after Flisk.

Outside, you see Flisk moving quickly down the mountain. Much too fast to chase. Radioing to Rocky, Alex tells him to bring the Bombshell around and …. You stop. In the distance, you see a Mongo Messenger ship. A small, fast, single-person ship. You can’t let Flisk reach it.

Just as the realization hit you, the Bombshell comes around. Weapon ports open. With a blaze, the Bombshell fires a shot at the messenger pod, destroying it just as Flisk was reaching it. When the dust settles, Flisk is lying on the ground.

Yelling ar Rocky to stop firing, the party heads down the slope. As you approach, Flisk slowly gets up. Seeing you, he runs. Slow and wobbly at first, but quickly gaining speed and strength. He heads straight toward what appears to be an opening in the mountain. A mine perhaps.

The chase begins.

Chapter 2: Rocky’s Rescue

You step out of the dark, frozen mining cave and into the bright sunlight. With a deep breath of fresh air, you look around. You are in a valley filled with snow-covered trees. The trees were tall and green, and they swayed in the gentle breeze. The ground likewise is covered in snow. The sun was shining brightly causing you to squint.

To the side of the valley, you see the Bombshell. To the other side though, you see a large, metal vessel with a pointed nose and a long, slender body. The Ajax, Klytus personal war rocket.

Between the two are about 10 of Ming’s soldiers pulling a reluctant Rocky along. You can hear synthetic wails as he is dragged.

And watch for the conclusion in Vincent Moore and the Mysterious Planet, Book 3.
