Down Into The Depths - A Post Apocalpytic Mars Stars Without Number Actual Play



 In tonight's game the PC's unloaded their ATV's  from their star ship and began the task of exploring a bit of their host clan's summer house. This house was actually a converted temple palace that in ages past connected to the vast Martain mega dungeon canal system.
They discovered after reading heiroglyph covered walls in the lower portations about a rail car system that ran deep through the planet conncting various areas.
More recent glpyhs suggested that an Entropic war broke out sometime in the past two hundred years and many of the citystates retreated underground and had only recently begun the long trek up again.
There were at least two different terraforming generators operating on planet. The glyphs outlined some of the horrors awaiting the PC's.
Weapons were broken out. ATV's equipped and sensor packages installed. The vault doors to the disused air car systems were opened for the first time in over two hundred years.
 The PC's started into the Canal/underground train routes which lead deep into the planet.
The PC's sensor suites lit up like Christmas trees with life forms as they began the trek into the underworld.
Here are a few of the possible random encounters that might meet the characters soon.
