CHAPTER IV:

MEDICINE RUN

In the days of the empire, an honest cargo-hauler finds himself on the wrong end of Imperial tariffs.  Labeled a smuggler, Cedric Valeran and first mate Amelia Crane are forced into the Outer Rim to earn a living.  As their jobs become more dangerous, they hire a shistavanen named Tagg Rosk to provide some much needed muscle to their crew.  During their travels, Amelia meets a twi'lek named Shala Kinsa who had fallen on hard times and was addicted to the spice ryll.  Taking interest in her life, Amelia brings her aboard to give her companionship and aid her in her attempt to break her addiction.

After accepting a dangerous job to smuggle medicine to a prisoner of the street gang, known as the Caike Syndicate, the crew travels to Caike.  The city is a battleground, as rival gangs violently compete for supremacy.  After finding the city blue prints, the crew decides to descend into the sewers and enter the Syndicate's residence from a sewer access in the yard.

CHAPTER II:

EVERY DAY I'M SMUG-G-LIN'

In the days of the empire, an honest cargo-hauler finds himself on the wrong end of Imperial tariffs.  Labeled a smuggler, Cedric Valeran and first mate Amelia Crane are forced into the Outer Rim to earn a living.  As their jobs become more dangerous, they hire a shistavanen named Tagg Rosk to provide some much needed muscle to their crew.  During their travels, Amelia meets a twi'lek named Shala Kinsa who had fallen on hard times and was addicted to the spice ryll.  Taking interest in her life, Amelia brings her aboard to give her companionship and aid her in her attempt to break her addiction.

Now on Toethen after a successful rescue job, the crew enjoys some R&R as Cedric searches for more work.  Toethen is a planet with poisonous atmosphere, with docks above ground in controlled spheres.  Enjoying a few drinks at a local cantina, Amelia, Shala, and Tagg witness an angry mob storm the cantina and take a man and his lady-of-the-evening outside, shouting that he brought the Empire to them, and threatening to kill them both.

Tagg, no fan of the Empire, seems to join the mob, but his motives are unclear.  Amelia and Shala decide to follow behind and Cedric sees the mob on his way to find his crew.  When he tries to learn what is happening, the lady-of-the-evening throws herself at him and slips a data chip into his pocket.

CHAPTER I:

LENGU RESCUE

In the days of the empire, an honest cargo-hauler finds himself on the wrong end of Imperial tariffs.  Labeled a smuggler, Cedric Valeran and first mate Amelia Crane are forced into the Outer Rim to earn a living.  As their jobs become more dangerous, they hire a shistavanen named Tagg Rosk to provide some much needed muscle to their crew.  During their travels, Amelia meets a twi'lek named Shala Kinsa who had fallen on hard times and was addicted to the spice ryll.  Taking interest in her life, Amelia brings her aboard to give her companionship and aid her in her attempt to break her addiction.

In a desperate such for work, the crew overhears the calamity of one Cander Shesh, whose wife has been captured by trandoshan slavers.  Tagg and Shala, whom have personally suffered due to slavery, cannot turn a blind eye.  Eager to due something good, Cedric takes on a dangerous resuce mission to free her, for a fee.

On the planet Lengu, the crew prepares to infiltrate the slaver's base of operations, owned by a small trandoshan named Groms Thashin.  If they bring proof of his demise, Cander will provide them with a small bonus.

Diverging Priorities

I'm posting this quick, short address before my next roleplaying session post to inform anyone that reads my work on this blog of my current state of mind.

Project M has been placed on hold.  I set out to create a rich, personalized roleplaying game system, and I am beginning to suspect my motives were not in the right place.  Ultimately, the 1980s DragonQuest is, in my opinion, the closest system to perfection for medieval-fantasy settings.  This system's magic is not designed for high fantasy, however, and a module should be designed for that end.  Otherwise, I see no reason not to use this system.

My attempt to create Project M was to use everything I liked about every system I've ever played into one that was perfect.  Perfection doesn't exist in this mortal coil.  I resign my self to designing modules for DragonQuest to suit the world that I created over ten years ago at my computer for my brother and two friends to enjoy.  There will be many, many more adventures for this world, but my need to share it with the world has been put on hold due to a more pressing project.
