First past the goal posts IN SPAAAACE

We had to cancel the session last Monday, and the same reason caused me to forget to post this last Sunday, so here we go:

Denethor was hard at work with stabilising the planet's engine and the planet's goddess. Elani and Gunda went exploring on the surface of this new, if a bit collapse-y planet, which seemed to be full of snow - incidentally, it also didn't have Christmas, but we're pretty sure we weren't in Narnia.

There was a big monolith, but we didn't monkey around to Also sprach Zarathustra. Instead, some people were found, words were exchanged, and then we had to run because some undead, human-sized locusts came buzzing and we didn't fancy getting turned into one of those.

Our new-found friends led us to a system of caves, which were sealed from the surface. They had a spaceship, ginormous forges, a river of dust and took us to their leader, Zolya. She had a robot doctor friend, who informed us of what had come to pass since there was a riot on said spaceship and it ended up crashing on the planet a millennia or two ago.

We discovered we could absorb energy from dust, which they said was unheard of, and things got a bit tense. On the other hand, we found out that not only had the Undead Court been around, the Frozen Court had too, and they were still present. But at least Denethor could use some dust to repair the engine. In theory.
