'Caught Between A Rock And A Hard Space' - A Warlords Of The Outer Worlds Actual Play Report

The PC's in last week's game made a daring rescue of some fellow adventurers from a Martian cybernetic and processing facility on the outer edges of the inner Earth Martian empire & managed to escape. They're on the run for their lives as the Martians have put out a call into the inner world for their capture. Every bandit, bounty hunter, and alien law dog is on their case.



Meanwhile they've got a bunch of Martian manta ships right now on the party's ass and they've got atomic turbines to speed! Well what they don't know is that their headed right now towards one of the the Derro's flying saucer bases . There is a near constant state of cold war between the Martians and the Derro as well as several other interior alien races of which all compete for the mutant & near human stock of the surface world. What our erstwhile party of adventurers doesn't know is that among among them is a square jawed Celtic purple knight of The Uni Matrix A.I. God Urizen whose working for National Technologies Incorporated, he's been on a holy mission to track down & destroy one of the myriad vampire gods of Accursed Atlantis.
He also knows where a National Technologies Incorporated fall out shelter base  and dimensional gate system is. He's been using a series of these bases in my friend Steven's other campaign is to get a beat on this vampire god.


Will the party of adventurers survive their latest brush with the Martians? Will the purple knight's hidden agenda be revealed and can the party of adventurers find their way out of this mess or will they clash with the Derro's forbidden and weird technologies?
