[Pulp Alley] Battle Report: Master Yogur (5-6 Last TURNs)

[Katsuhiko JiNNai]

Yesterday I played the third scenario of my rogue trader (Pulp Alley rules) campaign with my usual player.
As usual I will include a new turn for each new post.

Background:
41 millenium, Somewhere in the deep jungle of a death world far away from a colonial outpost.

Sky, the young girl, was annoyed. She cursed the day when her ship smashed in this remote place.
She was just a trader pilot, then she is the young apprentice of a strange small green Xenos with a big cob brain.
Yogur: "Mind you must free. Concentration! Concentration!"
Sky: "I'm still not sure I'm a psyker as you said, but I will try, master..."
Yogur: "Do, or do not. There is no try."
The Ferro Beast pet, Rusty, suddenly shake, and Yogur himself sense something...
Yogur: "Go to camp, now. We finish for today."
Sky: "What's happens, master? I sense something unpleasant..."
Yogur: "Trouble"

meanwhile, not so far away from the Master Yogur and his apprentice:
Kayura: "First a rogue informant, then a smuggler's captain and now a Xenos psyker hidden in the deep of this alien jungle... and still no informations about the legendary Key of Graciale...
This is really annoying!"
Arago: "Patience, Kayura, patience. Soon we will enjoy the sweet fruits of knowledge..."
