Mission to Ghormount

Arriving in Drinax, the crew discovered that Peytr Valis' fleet was also making use of the King's starport, following Zhil's arrangement and they seemed poorly inclined towards the aslan, as King Oleb was walking with Prince Kasiyl.

After Bogburp worked out that their newly arrived crew member, T'ni was a psionic, and with Halfnir involved as well, it wasn't long before there was an altercation and shots were fired but no-one was injured luckily.

After some investigation at the railway institute looking for a nuked city, Kaelan and Bogburp discovered the long lost city of Ghormount to the northwest. Bogburp managed to smuggle an SMG through customs and then the crew set off in the mule. Once away from civilisation, a lively discussion around boundaries for psionic powers took place and once the matter was settled, they all set off again, but then got caught up in a sandstorm. Halfnir managed to pilot the craft to safety and after some repairs in the morning, they arrived at the ruined city, via a backwoods rail town.

The city of Ghormount had indeed been nuked, but there seemed to be a strange modern settlement on the east of the city, and in a hillock on the west, a settlement of people. Opening discussions, the crew were allowed in to the strange town and had food, discovering that huge statues flanked a fissure leading to huge steel doors with elaborate bass reliefs around it. As the two groups parleyed about opening the vault, an alarm bell rang and it seemed that primitive or feral aslan were moving in to attack the settlement...
