Six top Darrian university scientists on an expedition to Spume have
taken refuge in the only town on the desolate world. A mining town
full of rough and ready types trying to eke a living from the hellish
environment.
While they wait for the next ship offworld, there are people to get to
know, rumours to titillate and intrigue, and things going on that maybe
some would rather weren’t investigated.
The workforce of Dryavis on Spume is growing restless. They are
cooped up in a small mining town under a mercilessly sulphurous sky
raining ash and who knows what else on them. There’s little distraction
from the harsh conditions as the few hundred miners make up the
entire population of the planet. And now the Pihrund Corporation is
beginning to terminate long term contracts and bring in newcomers.
Includes art by Boyd L. Stone (Ori), character generation for remote operation miners and the rules for Pamboyra, or Darrian chess.
Can be used as a standalone adventure or to extend the events of part I, Ashfall.
