Deep in the jungles of Venus, an airship has crashed, snagging on the tall trees. Luggage, rations, and other cargo are scattered across the soggy forest floor. The few survivors scramble for their gas masks, trying to get to a nearby camp before the native inhabitants gather at the scene. The Arbis and Newts, ancient rivals, both emerge from the dank undergrowth. They seize the opportunity to acquire new technologies and possibly gain an upper hand against the other Venus species.This a regular
Smash and Grab scenario with the major plot point being the box of rifles and munitions sitting on the top of a cliff. There are also survivors playing the role of minor plot points.
Both the Arbis and Newts take no time in rounding up survivors. Each side manages to capture one plot point each.
The leader of the Newts wastes no time in scaling the small cliff, aiming to capture one of the survivors. Before he reaches his prize the Arbis queen shoots him off the bluff with her deadly needle like branches. Trip-Up is played and he lands with a thud.
The queen begins to scale the sheer cliff that holds the munitions and rifles. She is intercepted by the number two of the Newts along with a few gangly looking followers. The followers fire from a distance and the sidekick charges, managing to slow down and injure the matriarch.
The sidekick of the Arbis is quickly gunned down by a survivor and poisonous arrows fired by two followers.
The Newt sidekick quickly re-engages the matriarch. Both are injured in the fierce brawl and the slimy native falls to the ground, dropping his plot point.
The queen tries once again to scale the mighty cliff-side. A peril is played and she falls back down the cliff, dropping her previously captured plot point.
A follower runs to pick up the leader’s lost possession while she’s down.
The Newt sidekick recovers and moves to reclaim his prize.
A Newt follower captures a wandering survivor.
The Newt sidekick attempts to climb the cliff to join his leader but slips and falls back down to where he was.
The Newt leader picks up the major plot point and takes the new technology back to the tribe.
The Newts captured two survivors and the artillery (Tip, Contact, Exp) and the Arbis acquired a survivor (Gear).
This was a really fun scenario. I wanted to try something different and focus on the alien species. I really liked playing with the Arbis even though they got their butts' kicked.
