[UNACO] What's in the Vault

[sirus]

Hey,
After my last campaign, the last one I put up where I did my best to mimic the style of the book. I decided to try a totally new style. This one is just the bare bones. A basic plot outline and a location. The rest can be ad-libbed on the fly as I'm pretty sure that's better. Also I'm pretty sure I may need an NPC of some sort to keep the team on track. I have an Idea, but it's a bit early. I plan to play the first half of this campaign tomarrow so if all goes well I'll report later.

UNACO : Campaign 2
What's in the Vault

Where: United Nations Agency of Curious Objects (UNACO) Head Quarters

When: Not long after the first adventure

Plot: The new recruits are sent into the vault to deliver the new aquasition to the Tech Guys.

While down there there's a surge in the power system which turns on a few seemingly random objects. Because of this odd shadowy figures begin to appear. They can walk through things, but any electronic device they walk through is instantly fried.

Spoilers: The shadowy things are interdimensional aliens. The thing that was turned on was a "Rift Manipulator". The Aliens are totally unaware of this dimension and in fact mean no harm. Any part of the body that touches them goes numb. Talking with them is impossible and so is any for of combat. No stats as such.

When the team goes to turen of the machine they find it damaged beyoind repair.

The only way to stop this is to cause another surge and hope it over charges the machine.


NPCs: The Boss, The Tech Team (Both are simple enough and don't require any sheets yet).

Well we just got done with this game. W3e never did introduce the Boss character, but the Tech Guys were introduced. Marc, a collective lifeform that looks like a human, but is in fact billions of microscopic lifeforms much like coral and Jeff, a hyper advanced super intelligent squid like creature that live inside a modified dalek housing. Instead of a beam and "plunger" Jeff has 2 claw like appendages.

The mission went pretty fast, only about 2 1/2 hours, but what a good deal of fun. I'll write more about it later, maybe.

Interesting NPCs. Did your group solve it in the way you outlined in the spoiler section?

Well the only one who touched one of the shadow people was Marc (the NPC) The archaeologist on the team kept getting distracted by the stuff on the shelves in the vault. We wound up using a damaged sonic imaging device to cause the second surge in the rift manipulator. I had to lead them on and give a lot of exposition with the character of Jeff, doing the Dalek voice was just to much fun to pass up (getting to use a dalek asking "would you like some tea?" was to good to pass up). All in all it went pretty much to plan as the plan was pretty loose.
