Footloose and Fancy Free In Lesser Helium - Warriors of the Red Planet/ Hyperborea rpg Session Report One

 The PC's made  the crossing across the Boreas Winds and ended up taking a caravan to Helium. And here's where things got interesting. The PC's were getting to trade in equipment, weapons, and treasure from Hyperborea into the Twin Cities. Helium is one of the capitals of Barsoom & it's twin cities are trade centers of Mars;"Helium is one of the major kingdoms of Barsoom. It is ruled by the Jeddak Tardos Mors and is the residence of warlord John Carter and his wife Dejah Thoris. Helium is noted, among other things, for the excellence of its Navy as it fliers are among the fastest on Barsoom."  This comes from the Encylopedia Barsoom Helium entry here. 

The PC's ended up in Lesser Helium and began trading in gear & items from Hyperborea. The city is where 90% of commerence and trading happens. Lesser Helium also has it's own Jeddak. 
The PC's ran afoul of a lesser noble who took umbridge with our  Runegraver Ulax Unthe. At higher levels runegravers are not the PC's you wanna get on the wrong side of. There was a very tense moment when Sir Alex stepped in to fight on Ulax's behalf. And the duel was to first blood and was over before it began as our cavilier had him within two rounds with solid dice rolls. 
This encounter with Lexus Mal lesser noble came up in the random encounters from Warriors of the Red Planet. 

We aquired the services of two new hirelings. A Mind Master named Dax Comus 3rd level whose agreed to come along with our party for 50 gold pieces and a share of the treasure. And Lexerus Lee discgraced noble and rogue noble woman 2nd level. We managed to shed our old Hyperborean equipment for Martian desert gear and Barsoomian equipment. We'll get new gear when we make the crossing back to Hyperborea. 
We've heard rumors of a noblemen whose hiring adventurers for a raid into a Martian tomb of his ancestors on the outskirts of lesser Helium.
