Velok the Younger
When I Was A Young Warthog
Participation in this thread counts as 2-4 completed 'Journeys' for the Extragalactic Exploration Challenge.
SCOREBOARD AS OF NOW:
This is where the components, fragments and journeys start being relevant. This is not the endgame.
ABOVE ALL THINGS, PLEASE TAG YOUR LOCATION PLANET WITH EVERY POST.
The Priests of the Tusk, an enigmatic priesthood that jealously guards its ancient bulk freighters and blasters, provide mass transit between the primitive planets of Companion Esk. They will transport armed persons, but not armies. These ancient, patchwork freighters are filled with cavemen, knights, merchants and wanderers of many species and premodern cultures.
Alarmed by an influx of explorers and rogues from the main galaxy, the Priests of the Tusk are evacuating two of their greatest treasures, items granted them by an ancient and eponymous benefactor. Both treasures are referred to as Heavenly Machines.
Your goal is to take, destroy, or defend those treasures as you see fit. You might choose to chase down one of the two ancient bulk freighters, using the small starships you have used to get to Companion Esk. You might choose to board one of the freighters as a passenger. You might also choose to try to guess which planet/system the transport will visit next, and set up an infiltration, ambush or trap for extra impact. Do not expect me to DM this thread. From time to time, however, I will post the next hyperjumps for each of the two bulk transports. As they flee from system to system, they may or may not land on each planet; I'll specify this in each post.
THIS IS AN IN CHARACTER THREAD.
Transport A is taking off from SE-4. Transport B is taking off from NW-1.
SCOREBOARD AS OF NOW:
(Not counting the incidental prizes like the talismans and the Marks of Shule, Rasho, and Velok, not to mention the many things you could have been sampling along the way.)
