You've got K-Mail #46

Spaceship flightdeck by ~Attickman on deviantART
Caldor's ship cockpit starts alarming. DING DING DING.

He makes some computer operation rolls and finds out the following:

His mark, the mysterious Fat Dwarf bioweapons expert and reason he was sent to Earth as a bounty hunter, has taken the lives of all inhabitants on Kreegor-Tet, the home of the Royal Kreegor seat and all of Caldors family. the dwarf released a biotoxin into the atmosphere of kreegortet months ago, and most died instantly from the sickness. The rest tried to get out but all eventually perished, along with any who came in contact with them. Entire spaceships were vaporized full of refugees from even nearby systems under fear of infection and quarantine.

All is not well for the empire of Kreegor, but Kreegor-Tet was not their only holding. In the powergap left by the death of the ruling family, several of the more loosly allied merchant families have been taking control of the fate of the Kreegor race. One such family has learned that one of Caldors Bloodline has survived, his cousin.

Luckily for her, Caldor's cousin was vacationing on one of Kreegor-tet's moons at the time of the infection, and she managed to escape in her personal ship. Hearing the cries of agony as her home-planet died, thousands of distress calls all going off at once... then no more live communications, and she knew they were all dead. Only automated drone signals remained 12 hours after initial infection. Realizing they were all dead and that her life was in danger, she flew to the only living relative she had left, CALDOR. She says shes flying to EARTH and has crashed somewhere south of where she knew Caldor landed. Its a swampy area she says then the kmail is cut short...

So caldor gets this mail, and convinces the party to abandon their current mission to conquer 3 more nexus's for Dunscon and join the Federation of Magic.

The townsfolk of Athens are living in a hovel nearby, and begging caldor and the rest to go to newport and rescue their families. Some eye caldors ship and ask if they can come aboard.

HATING refugee humans living in his fine ship, caldor "accidentally" crashes the ship into the hovel, killing Thelma and the last of the known human survivors of Athens. Athens currently has a population of 6, 5 psi goblins and bluey who stays in Athens while the rest of the party head south. There are buildings and ruins to house about 100 ppl in Athens.

As the bodies of them squish off the crashed ship, Caldor realizes the ship is now stuck and can no longer fly. Unphased, he gets out of the ship, gets into his Armored Kittani Robot Beetle and starts plodding south in search of his cousin. The rest of the group follow.

They run south at about 60mph through increasingly hotter climates, seeing little bit normal wildlife.


While going south they encounter a Mechanoid Scouting party!



MECHANOID by ~viperv6 on deviantART
2 Flying mechanoids pelt Caldor's beetle with energy fire while Thinmen and Digger Robots on foot engage the other players. After a drawn out battle where Caldor's robot beetle took severe energy blast damage to its main body, the alien mechanoids were repelled.
