Marbic receives a job offer from a guilder patron on Hydresar X. The crew have to ‘deliver a package’ and they will receive a generous reward.
Lady Heldycryn tours the town and meets Venda Hezel, a downhiver with a knack for tech. The crew has been suffering with poorly maintained weapons, and Lady H thinks she will be a useful asset. Marbic begrudgingly agrees, but it will eat into his profits… He decides to accept the job offer and get Hezel to ‘deliver the package’.
 |
| Newcomer Venda Hezel. Will she earn a spot on the crew? |
However, someone is opposed to the crew’s mission. A bounty hunter is after them and has raised a vigilante posse!
 |
| The central storage tank is the crew’s target |
 |
| Roma, Lady H and Julio take one flank |
 |
| The rest of the crew take the other. |
 |
| Here comes the vigilantes! |
 |
| They rush the centre |
 |
| Hezel runs toward the tank as Chugger puts down suppressing fire |
 |
| But she goes down! |
 |
| The Bounty Man charges ahead of his heavy weapons |
 |
| Roma comes under heavy fire |
 |
| She prays to the Emperor as shots fly past her |
 |
The vigilantes run into a murderous crossfire,
and a frag grenade finishes them off. |
Julio picks up the dropped meltabombs and ‘delivers’ them to the storage tank. Hezel is lightly wounded but will pull through. The guild contact is satisfied and the crew get a generous ten credit payday. They drink together and tell stories, but Roma has found religion and now will talk of nothing else.
Back in the desert, a mutant rat sniffs at the Bounty Man. He’s not dead!
The Bounty Hunter is a super-fun sculpt from
Imitation of Life. I couldn’t bear to see him dead, so he will return in the future.
Our rookie, Hezel, is from
Tagged Events. Her arms didn’t print properly so I added some from the bits box.
