The horror of the Storm far behind her, the Invictus Aeterna arrives at the grave-like stillness of the Battleground - once more back in the safety of the Void. Nothing waits at the Battleground but countless wrecks of ancient vessels, destroyed in a nameless conflict, and added to by the predations of pirates. In the eerie silence, the crew make some repairs to the Invictus and ready themselves for the final stint in the Warp before Footfall.
Morale is poor, and sedition is whispered like a litany in the hab-decks. Yet, it is only whispered, and the Sacred Writ stays any serious thoughts of mutiny. Officers go about their duties with stern-faced stoicism, hoping it masks their unease at Zarkov's absence on the Bridge.
The last stint of the journey is made without incident. The Invictus Aeterna has, for the first time, survived the peril of The Passage.
[EXPERIENCE
This was a very challenging adventure. A number of times every player came close to simultaneous burns of Fate Points. A couple of characters were very close to death. The peril was mostly metaphysical, though were some physical dangers which posed great dangers. Three characters - Praetus, Zarkov, and (especially) Malachi - took actions which saved the lives of everyone on the ship, and their awards reflect this.
The Experience listed below includes all experience so far earned (unspent), incuding previous encounters, contests etc.
Andrea Chan-Gauthier 823 XP
Drak-Kung 543 XP
Garrius Amphael 682 XP
Darius Zarkov 938 XP
Malachi 622 XP
Injerian Praetus II 579 XP
These rewards reflect a lot of different factors, and are higher than most adventures largely because the challenge was very high. All because of a couple of rolls . . . ]
