Enemies: Smarmy the Dinosaur, Lubosh, Jackie Chiles, and Vygrymm, Dragon of Sphere


Jag – Officer’s Dispatch 21

Recent Duties: Although you’re now a proven sports superstar, you’re glad the Republic National Games are over and you can finally get back to work where you belong – in the courtroom. After all, sporting titles are all but meaningless next to what might well be the most important legal case of your career, and you can’t afford any more distractions. You’ve spent the last 3 days solid working on the case, and you can cram an awful lot of work into a day when you put your mind to it.


Troop Status

  • Supplies: Schmitzer SMGs, Armored Flak Vests, Deluxe Laywers’ suits, Field Medkit, Healing Syringes and briefcases full of legal documents.

  • Morale: Your lawyers are in something of a euphoric panic – Kilant’s trial begins today. Prosecuting attorney Jackie Chiles will be presenting the witness list to the judge this morning, with the prosecution’s case beginning afterwards.

  • Health: Your men are satisfied that they’ve been cleared of any drug charges against them They’re also very hungry – hungry for legal blood, and you intend to feed them.


Military Communiques

  • As you are well aware, Commander Kilant’s trial begins today – you’re to meet at the Electra City Courthouse at 1000 hours to meet with Chiles and the judge. Jackie has prepared a high-profile witness list which includes the following member:

Major-General Edward Byrne-White

Senator Bremingham

Lord Aeolus of Stormwind

Senator Gracchus

Grand-Marshall Vonderveck
  • What’s more, today is the execution day for Vygrymm, Dragon of Sphere. The ceremony will be taking place publicly in downtown Eternity Square at 1700 hours. The fact that this is still taking place without a trial outrages you, and you intend to be there to broadcast your discontent.


Personal Notes

  • There’s just not enough time in the day to get everything you need done. But that’s why you skip lunch, after all. Despite your protests, Lubosh has insisted that you fulfill your bargain to him today, and has arranged for you to meet him at the Atobe family estate as soon as your court case adjourns for the day. This had better remain a private affair like it’s supposed to be, you want to be a man too!

  • There’s nothing Jackie Chiles likes more than the sound of his own voice, but you don’t plan to let him steal the show today. As a seasoned legal professional, you know that the main point of objecting is to disrupt the speaker and remind the jury that you’re still in the game. And the name that jury remembers when they walk out of the court today will not be Chiles, but rather Jag.


Mini-Objective

  • Make as many ridiculous objections during Jackie Chiles’ case as possible.

Balarai Snowe – Officer’s Report 20

Recent Duties: For the past 3 days, you have been a marked man. In fact, as far as you’re concerned, it’s only due to your endless ingenuity that you’re still alive. Following your hockey team’s loss at the National Games, you managed to slip out during the post-game festival being held at the stadium and mug an incoming entertainer – a man dressed in a giant purple Smarmy the Dinosaur costume. You’ve been using this get-up as a disguise ever since (partially due to the fact that you can’t seem to get it off).


Troop Status

  • Supplies: Heavy Field Mortars, 2 Remote Mines, Gortex winter parkas and snowshoes, a ‘dangerous’ dunebuggy which is not nearly as dangerous as your own employer and a life-size statue of a Denchulli ‘Brave’.

  • Morale: You have no idea, since you haven’t dared show your face around the Auxiliaries camp!!

  • Health: You don’t know about your mens’ health, but you’re getting quite sweaty and uncomfortable in this silly Smarmy outfit. However, your fear more than overcomes your personal discomfort.


Military Communiques

  • You haven’t been able to hear too much about what’s been going on at the base, but you do know that the execution of the Dragon of Sphere is scheduled to take place today, at 1700 hours in the city’s Eternity Square. Although some people might wonder what Smarmy the Dinosaur is doing at such an event, this is a spectacle you don’t plan to miss.


Personal Notes

  • So far, your Smarmy the Dinosaur disguise has been successful in keeping you safe. Fortunately, Genghis Khan’s mongol warriors are loyal, but not terribly bright.

  • Your Denchulli Indian Brave statue is currently stashed under a bush next to the base parking lot. At the moment, in fact, the Chief is really your only friend. Gotta love those strong, silent types.

  • You’ve been planning to sneak into your camp and get your gear and your Dunebuggy while you figure out what to do next, but so far your attempts to do so unnoticed have been thwarted. You just can’t afford to be recognized, especially by your own men.


Mini-Objective

  • Do not allow any Auxiliaries soldiers to see your real identity.

Zeke – Officer’s Report 19

Recent Duties: With all the people who normally get you into so much trouble off at the Electran National Games, you’ve had plenty of quality time to relax at your bunker in Mexico. Or something like that. In fact, you’re quite enjoying playing the part of a man of leisure these days.


Troop Status

  • Supplies: Hacksaw Shotguns, Biker Helms, Steel Breastplates, brand new leather Wheel jackets, Zeke’s Tent of Horrors, multiple watches, Delta Mark IV motorcycles!! and a stylish wooden walking stick. You picked this latter item up from a discount fashion store and really think it enhances your image as a classic bon-vivant.

  • Morale: Your men are pleased to have finally gotten paid for their work, and are enjoying their new leisurely lifestyle almost as much as you are.

  • Health: The Wheel is in good health and ready to roll. And thanks to Mr. Fixit, so are your bikes. You have to admit, the man knows his stuff, even if he is a little bit painful to be around.


Military Communiques

  • The public execution of Vygrymm, Dragon of Sphere, is slated to take place today at 1700 hours in the city’s Eternity Square. Although you’d really rather just hang out at the base, all your fellow officers seem intent on being there and no one can ever claim that you don't go where the party is.

  • You hate Electran bureaucracy. Just today, you finally received notice in the mail of your military promotion. Apparently, the reason it’s so late is that they had trouble finding your address. Unfortunatley, it doesn’t seem to come with a retroactive pay raise.


Personal Notes

  • The trusting Denchulli Lt. Dust has developed a bit of a reputation for a big mouth, so you’ve been hanging around him to find out what’s been going on while you’ve been…err, in Mexico. Apparently, he’s in the process of organizing some kind of big, post-games party. What’s more, he’s even arranging for entertainment and costumes, including the famous Technicolor Dreamcoat. Now that’s a party coat if ever you’ve seen one! You’re a party man yourself, and with such cool threads, you’re sure to be the life of any party.

  • Dust also blabbed to you about some kind of ‘exhibition’ tennis match that Jag is having against that Keigo girl’s new tennis coach, Lubosh. It’s taking place later today at the Atobe family manor. From what you understand, it’s supposed to be a private affair, but surely there’s got to be a way for a businessman like you to earn some money off of it.

  • Desrae told you an intriguing and possibly disturbing rumor from the Auxiliaries camp – Captain Rodric is back. What this means is anyone’s guess, but at least it’s sure to make things interesting.


Mini-Objective

  • Obtain and wear the Technicolor Dreamcoat.

  • Make as much money off of Jag’s upcoming tennis match as possible.



Atobe Keigo – Officer’s Report 20

Recent Duties: You are the Princess of Tennis, and now all of Electra knows it. As such, you’ve even allowed your men to engage in some leisure and recreation other than their tennis training during the celebrations of the last 3 days. Of course, even during the festivities, you find it difficult to put down your competitive side, and that would be if you even bothered to try to do such a thing.


Troop Status

  • Supplies: FLAME-THROWERS, Deluxe uniforms, kamikaze headbands, LUBOSH, your personal tennis trainer (although hopefully not for much longer), and a new DDR pad for busting a move or two.

  • Morale: Your men are thrilled with the new DDR pad they’ve purchased, and have been ‘dancing’ (if you can call it such) up a storm in their quarters. Of course, you simply can’t have them getting too full of themselves and have already had to prove several times that they’re no match for you even at DDR.

  • Health: Your men claim to be rather tired from all their DDR-playing, but you suspect this to merely be an excuse to get out of their regular training.


Military Communiques

  • The execution of Vygrymm, Dragon of Sphere, is scheduled to take place at 1700 hours today, in Electra’s Eternity square. As far as you’re concerned, it’s about time that despicable Spheran got what was coming to him! Your only regret is that you don’t get to be the one to do the deed yourself. Still, this is an event that you wouldn’t miss for the world, and you intend to have front-row seats.


Personal Notes

  • Pacci has been trying to get you to play this “Pac-Man” game of his recently, but you know that DDR is where the real skill’s at. You consider yourself the queen of pretty much any sporting activity, and while there are many who would question whether DDR qualifies as such, you intend to prove that your skills are beyond question.

  • Something a little fishy is taking place at your home today. You saw Lubosh out back setting up the tennis courts, but for once he hasn’t been bugging you to get out and train with him. You’re not quite sure what’s going on, but you intend to find out.

  • For some reason, there is gossip floating around the base that international supermodel and actress Farrah Fawcett is planning a visit! You have no idea why this would be the case, but the last thing this base needs is another blonde bimbo, after everyone just got over the hype of the last one.


Mini-Objective

  • Defeat as many people at DDR as possible.

  • Determine what Lubosh is up to at your family estate today.



Dust – Officer’s Report 19

Recent Duties: While the Electran National Games might not have quite turned out how some people have hoped, you’re reasonably pleased with the results. Not only did you publicly put a stop to numerous examples of racism, but you proved that foreign athletes really do have what it takes to go all the way. Plus, with Balarai Snowe mysteriously absent these past few days, that makes you the new Team Captain, although there are apparently some duties that go along with this title.


Troop Status

  • Supplies: SIR Rifles, Camouflage Scout Uniforms, Sniper Scopes, a Spheran ‘Highwind’ Light Infantry Rifle, several new kegs of Charlie Mops’ best hops, which will not likely last for very long at the current rate.

  • Morale: The past few days have been filled with celebration for your Boyos. Like typical humble Denchulli, they never expected your team to go even nearly as far as it did. They’re looking forward even more to the post-Games party you’re planning to throw tonight.

  • Health: Your Boyos are perhaps a little tipsy, courtesy of Charlie Mops, but insist they’ve made up for it by toasting their own health multiple times.


Military Communiques

  • The execution of Vygrymm, Dragon of Sphere, is slated to take place today at 1700 hours, in Electra’s Eternity square. Your Boyos are a little squeamish around blood of course, but they want to go and throw some potatoes at him, one for each of their fallen comrades, and then hopefully leaving before the ceremony reaches its climax.

  • You’ve heard disturbing news concerning the Conventionals attack to re-take the city of Ellivia. Although the city is once again in Electran hands, there has been talk of some kind of ‘trap’ that resulted in numerous Conventionals losses. You’ve been trying hard to get the exact details, and you hope that your pal Varin came out of it okay.


Personal Notes

  • Apparently, being Team Captain of the Khanucks brings with it certain duties. In particular, Fats Dynamo has made it clear that he expects you to throw one helluvah post-Games party. You suspect that really anything is an excuse for a party where the Avalanche is concerned, but you don’t intend to argue with a man that big. The party is scheduled to take place tonight, and you’ve been working hard to bring in as much entertainment as possible.

  • Apparently, your sister Daria noticed you on TV during the games, and has begged you to attend your party. Although you’re not too keen about her being around your military companions, she claims to be bringing her good friend and famous model and actress Farrah Fawcett with her! You’re not sure how much you believe this, but you’ve agreed, perhaps against your better judgement, to let her come.

  • You’ve been going all out to obtain party supplies and costumes for this party. One of the reasons you agreed to let Daria come to the party is that she’s offered to loan you the Technicolor Dreamcoat, made famous by a popular theatrical production. Apparently, Farrah is co-starring in the musical and was able to borrow the coat for the evening. Unfortunately, you made the mistake of letting Seamus carry it in, which meant it got beer and mud all over it, so you had it sent to the dry-cleaners. Hopefully, it should be ready for tonight.

  • Big news: Smarmy the Dinosaur is on the base! You don’t know how or why, but Smarmy is very popular back on Denchul due to his peaceful and loving behavior, and he’d be a great celebrity to have at your party.


Mini-Objective

  • Obtain as many forms of entertainment for your party tonight as possible.




Pacci – Officer’s Report 12

Recent Duties: It’s not too surprising that no one has seen very much of you over the last couple of days. Since your acquisition of a Pac-man machine, you’ve been all but glued to your tent. In fact, you’re not even really sure how many days have gone by since you’ve left. But while you can never really get enough Pac-man, you know that such a great game was meant for more than just you, and you’ve got to get out there and prove it.

Troop Status

  • Supplies: PK-33 Handguns, SIR Rifles, Bright Yellow Deluxe Uniforms, and a fashionable European carry-all which now contains several Energeon Cubes, a Verizon wireless cell-phone, and an amazing vintage Pacman arcade machine.

  • Morale: The Pac is practically hypnotized by the presence of a Pacman machine in their very own quarters, as well as by your own skills. They don’t so much play the machine as stare at it in wonder and reverence.

  • Health: You’re a little worried about the Pac’s health, since often they simply forget to eat, since they’re so busy staring at the Pacman machine. The few times you’ve had to stop playing has been to go out and get food for them.

Military Communiques

  • The public execution of the Dragon of Sphere is slated to take place at 1700 hours today, in Electra’s Eternity Square. Frankly, you can’t understand why anyone would want to watch such a thing, but everyone else is going so it seems to be the ‘in’ thing to do.

  • You’ve heard disturbing news concerning the Conventionals attack to re-take the city of Ellivia. Although the city is once again in Electran hands, there has been talk of some kind of ‘trap’ that resulted in numerous Conventionals losses. If only you’d been there to provide some Orange Protection, you’re sure everyone would’ve come out okay!

Personal Notes

  • There’s never really enough Pacman, but for now you’ve sated your appetite enough to consider other things. Such as, for instance, how other people need to play more Pacman. At the very least, it’s something that everyone needs to experience, and now that you’ve got your own machine, you have the means to allow them to do just that.

  • Speaking of the machine, much to your dismay, it seems to be showing some signs of wear-and-tear. The controls are getting a bit sticky, and if you didn’t know better, you’d swear there was beer spilled all over the controls. You have no idea how this could have happened (well, alright, maybe you do…).

  • Big news: Smarmy the Dinosaur is on the base! While he’s certainly no Pacman, you’re still quite fond of the famous gentle and friendly entertainer, but you wonder what he’d be doing on a military base. Hey, maybe he’s here to play Pacman!!


Mini-Objective

  • Convince as many people to play your Pacman machine as possible.

Jean Reno – Professional’s Report 4

Recent Duties: In the 3 days since the end of the Electran National Games, your fellow officers seem to have taken to an awful lot of celebrating. Of course, you are planning to take great pains to have nothing to do with this. If only people would take up a more professional form of relaxation, like golf, you might possibly be able to agree with that.


Troop Status

  • Supplies: RD-22 Rifles, Combat Daggers, and full supplies of ammunition and rations. Sadly, these rations are not in fact French, and the quality suffers as a result.

  • Morale: By this point, the Foreign Legion is of course almost as French and bitter as you are. Which is a good thing in your books, it means there should be little chance of them running off and joining any of these terrible Electran parties.

  • Health: You don’t know about your men, but personally you’re a little concerned about your knees. Or at least, you are whenever anyone asks you to do any ridiculous partying. Your knees are very bad, you know.


Military Communiques

  • The execution of Vygrymm, Dragon of Sphere, is slated to take place today at 1700 hours in Electra’s Eternity Square. You are sure it’s going to be a terrible Electran ceremony, but you’ll probably end up going anyway just to complain and spread your ill cheer.


Personal Notes

  • Some kind of video game craze seems to have swept the base. Lately, virtually everyone you talk to seems to be trying to convince you to play some silly such game. Naturellement, with your bad knees, this is impossible, but it doesn’t seem to stop people from trying nonetheless.

  • A bonhomme by the name of Dust seems to be trying to organize some kind of party for this evening. Of course, you are certain it can only be terrible, much like everything else on this planet, and can only hope that everyone there ends up being as bitter and ill-tempered as you are.

  • Bon alors? It is very strange, but many people claim to have sighted the famous children’s entertainer, Smarmy the Dinosaur, somewhere on the base. His constant goofy grin and songs about love and good cheer irritate you to no end. If this rumor turns out to be true, there is certainly only one thing that this Smarmy fellow deserves…


Mini-Objective

  • Make up as many ridiculous excuses as possible to avoid playing video games.

  • One-punch Smarmy the Dinosaur.


Lord Flash – Officer’s Report 3


Recent Duties: As usual, for the past 3 days since the end of the National Games you’ve been rather busy just being yourself. Which, as you’ve repeatedly had to explain to your superior officers, is really a full-time job. The only reason you can think of why they might not want you to do it is that they’re jealous and want the job themselves. WAAAFF!


Military Communiques

  • The public execution of Vygrymm, Dragon of Sphere, is slated to take place today at 1700 hours in Electra’s Eternity Square. Of course, what’s important to you is that this event is guaranteed to generate a large audience, and you don’t plan to let any silly Spheran steal the show from the REAL attraction: FLASH!!

  • You’ve heard disturbing news concerning the Conventionals attack to re-take the city of Ellivia. Although the city is once again in Electran hands, there has been talk of some kind of ‘trap’ that resulted in numerous Conventionals losses. Of course, you’re not at all surprised that the rest of the army can’t do anything right without YOU around.


Personal Notes

  • Since the end of the National Games, you’ve been hearing a lot of talk about organizing some kind of giant party. Of course, there’s no such thing as a party without Flash! You’re not just a guest, you’re the main attraction.

  • The Red Baron has been rather upset with you about crashing his plane into the middle of downtown Electra. Apparently, the residents of the two city blocks that it levelled aren’t too happy either. But none of them are Flash, so clearly their opinions are of no consequence.

  • Hubba-hubba! There is gossip around the base that one of the attendees at tonight’s party will be none other than international actress and supermodel Farrah Fawcett! You have no idea what a chick like that would be doing at a military party, unless of course she heard that YOU would be there. No matter the case though, you want something, and you intend to take it. WAAFF!


Mini-Objective

  • Get a kiss from international supermodel Farrah Fawcett.



Adventure Summary

  • The PCs meet up in the O.C. after a few days' rest. Snowe is absent, and the rest of the PCs assume the Khan got to him or something. There is a lot of talk: the Dragon's execution is scheduled for 1700 hrs, and a party is scheduled for an hour or two afterwards. Despite the fact that the Khanucks lost and brought shame upon the Khan, Fats has insisted that Dust, acting as team captain with the loss of Ballarai Snowe, throw a big party, with lots of beer.
  • Dust seems inexplicably excited about something, while Jag works through a cup of coffee, and Reno and Lord Flash arrive.
  • Flash asks Dust about the party, and asks if he can help set it up. Dust is very agreeable to this, but is reluctant to give full control of the entertainment to the Electran man. Flash agrees to give Dust a small amount of control, and Dust seems fine with this.
  • He heads off, mentioning something about a "dry cleaner".
  • Zeke follows after him, carrying some sort of cane, and asks if he can borrow Dust's "coat". Dust seems agreeable to this, allowing Zeke to borrow it in exchange for securing a large amount of alcohol for the party. He tells Zeke that the coat's at the dry cleaner, since the Denchuli stupidly entrusted Seamus with it for a moment.
  • Meanwhile, back in the O.C., Rodrick comes storming into the mess (does he do anything else?) with a few of his berserkers, and demands double portions. Keigo promptly challenges him to something called "D.D.R.", which he laughs off as for women and small, paralyzed children. Keigo insists that it is the latest in virtual reality training, which seems to confuse the Spheran somewhat. Pacci tries to get him to play Pacman, extolling the virtues of improved hand-eye coordination, but Rodrick has none of that.
  • Eventually, the PCs head out. Reno and Flash, in an odd alliance, set about clearing the light vehicle hangar and securing entertainment. Anton and Suki seem displeased about the interruption, but Anton becomes more agreeable when he hears that there will be "girls!" at the party.
  • As this is happening, Keigo and Pacci are getting in as much video-game time as their schedule allows. Keigo beats all opponents save one at D.D.R., and most are quite willing to also play Pacman, since it only costs a peso.
  • Dust and Pacci then head out looking for "Smarmy the Dinosaur", and the Denchuli seems very, very eager to secure the services of the large purple creature. However, scouring the base, they cannot find him, though they do find the statue of the Denchuli Brave hidden behind some bushes at the parkade. Curious, Dust takes it with him, and he and Pacci, continue the search.
  • Jag, meanwhile, begins his court case in defense of Commander Kilant. Jackie Chiles brings out a number of important witnesses, such as Grand Marshall Vonderveck, and Major General Byrne-White. Jag attempts to paint Kilant as a man who would not accept suicidal orders, and sacrifice his men just for the glory of another division, as by the admission of the Conventionals, the slope upward was covered by Spheran bunkers, foxholes, and machine gun nests. He then attempts to use Byrne-White's wording as an admission of treason, since he followed Kilant, which doesn't go over well with the Major General. The trial then closes for the day.
  • As this is going on, Zeke secures a rather dubious source of alcohol: Stone Cold Steve Austin. In exchange for a daypass out of the Cooler, Austin agrees to provide Zeke with all the Steveweiser he needs.
  • With all other locations exhausted, Pacci and Dust arrive at the vacant lot guarded by Mongol warriors. Dust announces that he has a gift for the Khan, holding out his Highwind rifle, and tells them that it was taken from the body of a dead Spheran. This sort of manly rhetoric seems to please the Mongols immensely, and the two enter the lot...only to find themselves inside a massive building! A purple dinosaur is dancing frantically before two guards pointing crossbows at him. The two try to get Smarmy away, but the mongols are having nothing of it. Finally, in desperation, Pacci exclaims "Look! The Khan!" And as the guards cover on the ground, the three make their way out, heading back to Pacci's barracks.
  • After forcing Smarmy to play both D.D.R. and Pacman, Pacci, Keigo, and Dust seem content. But Reno arrives, sees Smarmy, and without a second thought one-punches him. The head falls off, revealing none other than Balarai Snowe! The long-haired Electran seems extremely angry that his cover has been blown.
  • Meanwhile, with the court case done, Jag heads back to Law Division H.Q. to get to his tennis match with Lubosh. Many people are interested in seeing this, especially since Zeke has been selling maps to the event for 5 marks apiece since the beginning of the day. Keigo in particular is interested in seeing what she thinks will be Lubosh routed by Jag's superior tennis skills. Zeke makes his way to Law Division H.Q. with Keigo. They see Atobe Kunimitsu, Keigo's mother, entering the building. But a gust of wind blows the top hat off her head, and right on to Zeke's. With his stylin' cane, top hat, and technicolour dreamcoat, Zeke now looks like the very definition of a modern pimp.
  • After some subterfuge, Jag, Atobe Kunimitsu, and Lubosh manage to head off to a different place for the tennis match. Zeke and Keigo arrive soon after, and find that Lubosh has, in fact, won! Keigo can't believe this, and accuses the man of indeterminate Slavic origin of cheating. This earns her a number of slaps from her mother.
  • Just then, the police arrive. Seeing Zeke the Pimp and a battered Keigo, they assume that she's one of his girls, and that he's been abusing her. Zeke is promptly taken off to the police station, but manages to get out in time for the execution at 1700 hrs.
  • A gateguard comes up to Dust, and tells him there are some people at the gate who claim to know him. An excited Dust races off to sign, and comes back with two others. The first is a short and slender freckled blonde woman, and with a distinct Denchuli brogue. Dust introduces her as Daria, his sister. The second is a gorgeous redhead with impossibly big hair that Daria introduces as her friend "Farrah Fawcett." Farrah seems incredibly happy to see Smarmy the Dinosaur.
  • The Lieutenants First Class and Lieutenants (except for Balarai Snowe) arrive with their units to keep the peace while the execution is going on. Jag notes a lack of Axen Dredd, and proclaims this to be a bad omen indeed.
  • Dust leaves the Boyos in command of Dijon while he disappears, quickly arriving at an open window, where he sets up his rifle in preparation for any monkey business.
  • Keigo and Seigaku muscle their way through to the front and set up lawn chairs, despite being advised by Jean Reno that this will just lead to "a lot of splatter."
  • Meanwhile, Lord Flash climbs up to the balcony housing the senators, and asks to be made Master of Ceremonies, telling them that he'll talk them up and win the crowd for them. The senators seem reluctant, but allow him to do this anyway. True to his word, Flash makes an excellent M.C., making an event out of things.
  • A contingent of black-cloaked Spherans is seen, but Rodrick or Aeolus is not seen anywhere. Before the heroes can do anything, a large, serrated sword is tossed through the air, and caught by Vygrymm, who then easily cleaves through the executioner before he can strike back. Dust has an easy shot at the unarmoured Dragon, and lands it straight in his torso, but the Spheran barely seems to feel it, nor even acknowledge his shooter. The crowd panicks, units form, and a battle begins.
  • A number of Spheran units arrive. The Shark Pack fires on them with Schmitzers, only to come under fire by Schmausers. Keigo, charging up, comes face to face with incendiary grenades from a unit led by a ferocious Spheran knight in blood-red armor, while Zeke bikes up, attempting to avoid people, and firing while doing so. Specks in the sky grow frightfully large as the battle progresses, and many of the Lieutenants guess that Drakhaans are on the way, and that their window of opportunity to recapture the Dragon is dwindling.
  • In a burst of speed, the five members of the Wheel manage to get on to the Dragon. Quickly whipping out a cell phone, Zeke dials 1-800-CALL-JAG and the lawyers instantly arrive, ending the battle and prompting a, "I didn't think you could win that fight - I forgot about that move." from the GM. As a result, Veteran status is awarded. The Wheel's five men now have +6 Veteran status, while most other units' totals are far more modest.
  • Screaming in defiance, the unknown red-clad knight charges the nearest Republic officer, Atobe Keigo, and despite her two years of tennis experience, lays her low with a single mighty blow from her sword. Meanwhile, with a burst of psychic energy, the Dragon throws his assailants off him, and leaps on top of his waiting Drakhaan, flying off with Sylgris and the other officer, whose name eludes most of us - or at least, those who do not speak Spheran...


Major Characters this Session

Gracchus
Race: Electran
Rank: Senator
Affiliation: Republic of Electra Senate

A rather sour-faced older man in white Senatorial robes and a white beard, Senator Gracchus was one of the witnesses at the historic Trial of Kilant. His main characteristic seemed to be the many books he'd written on political theory, and his steadfast belief that any government must be ruled 'by the people, for the people.' Jag attempted to discredit him by attacking his qualifications based on the relatively low sales of his books.

Daria
Race: Denchuli
Rank: Civilian
Affiliation: University of Electra

A young, freckled, diminutive Denchuli girl, Daria is the sister of our hero Lt. Dust. She's said to have inherited the book-smarts of the family, and attends the University of Electra on scholarship. Her protective brother is quite eager to keep her away from the unsavory influences of his fellow military crew.

Farrah Fawcett
Race: Electran
Rank: Civilian
Affiliation: None

The famous Farrah Fawcett is a tall, gorgeous blonde and an internationally acclaimed actress and super-model. Apparently, she's also pursuing a drama degree from the University of Electra and is incongruously friends with unassuming Daria. She is also a big fan of the childrens' entertainer Smarmy the Dinosaur, and is liable to give one of her coveted kisses to anyone wearing such an outfit.

Rivagris
Race: Spheran
Rank: Dragonsworn
Affiliation: The Spheran Coalition, House of the Dragon

A fearsome, broad-shouldered woman with fire-bronzed skin, blood-red hair and armor and a flaming sword, Rivagris is dubbed 'the Hellknight' by the fearful and 'Beach Babe' by the foolish. Although her exact identity remains unknown beyond her name, she seems to bear a burning hatred for our young officers of the Republic...
