Session 2

Session 2: Vic Doesn't Run
"No weapons and nothing above the neck."

- Logan Kane

Overview
The Crew prepare to leave Stormrest Bangle and travel into The Trench with Rickmann but realise they don't have enough fuel to complete the trip. Despite the commotion caused by the fight Logan and Vic decide to re-enter Skiffer's Stoop and trade for fuel while Nahtesh watches The Daedalus.

As most of the patrons give them the cold shoulder Logan decides to ask Abura for a trade and he offers them a deal: 25 Shinies for half a tank or they can take a package to Stormrest Peak for him. Vic immediately agrees to ferry the package and they are told to meet a contact named Marcus at the Temple Cloud tavern. While attempting to leave the Stoop they are stopped by some of Occabarou's men who demand money and an apology as a sign of respect (for the early injury to Bigun Bruiser). Vic refuses and a fight erupts, eventually leading Logan to hold one of the men at gunpoint while Vic shoots the other in the leg. As the fight escalates the entire bar drew their weapons and Nahtesh is forced to use his magic to teleport the pair out of harms way.

The crew scrambles to leave town as fast as possible: Logan meets the crew of The Avast (Abaru's Skiff) to collect the fuel and the package while Vic and Nahtesh raise anchor on The Daedalus. Thanks to a magical barrier Nahtesh left to block the bar doors the crew manage to escape town just before Occabarou's men reach them. Finally safe the crew cast anchor at the foot of The Trench to wait until morning.

Vic moves forward at first light while Logan and Nahtesh succumb to curiousity and force open the package, discovering standard salvage and a mysterious locked box containing a ranged Spider Mine but with no remote. They reseal the horde into a new crate to hide the signs of tampering.

Surveying The Trench over breakfast, Rickmann and Nahtesh discuss how each of them ended up here and how they might be able to help one another. The conversation is cut short when they reach Stormrest Peak ahead of schedule. Rickmann leaves to explore on his own while Nahtesh and Logan head to Temple Cloud. They find no sign of Marcus but encounter Rufalo who offers to take the delivery on his behalf. They refuse and leave. Meanwhile Vic takes a drink at the mechanic's bar on the Plateau and overhears that one Skiff has been left unattended for five days and a rumour is going around that the crew have vanished. He interrupts to question them about it and discovers that one of the missing men is named Marcus.
