What is Old School Role Playing about?
At Old School we are all about the classic version of role playing games that were
popular in the late 1970s to the early 1980s. You know the games. You played them as kids.
They were far better than many of the later versions that came along. At Old School we bring you
high quality adventures and adventure products for gaming at a reasonable price.
The adventures themselves are well thought out. They have a few puzzles, riddles and
other encounters as well as plenty of monster bashing action. Some have been thoroughly play
tested by other gamers. The goal is to provide you the game master adventures to use on the spur
of the moment when players want to play and you do not have the time to prepare something
spectacular.

From time to time rogue asteroids are encountered crossing the Sonora sector. Generally these
are considered to be just a nuisance and are ignored. Ship sensors have advanced to the point
now where such things are easily avoided. But when a rogue asteroid appears to be on a path to
strike an inhabited planet or moon action must be taken. Either explosives are planted on the
asteroid in question or nuclear warheads are fired to deflect or redirect the asteroid.
Recently a rogue asteroid has been detected which seems to be on a direct path to strike the
planet Zacesaia. This world is the capital of a sub-sector named after itself. It is an agriculture
world which sells produce all over the sector. The world is filled with farms and orchards. Some
of the finest fruit in the entire sector is grown there.
This particular asteroid, however, is different than other rogues that have been discovered in
recent years. Asteroid XZ-419 has been examined by scientific research ships and has been
determined to have signs of life on it. Specifically, the asteroid, has some kind of alien star base
built into the side of it. The base appears to be abandoned but one can never tell about alien
bases. Before the asteroid can be destroyed or deflected local authorities would like someone to
visit the rock and find out if anyone is home. If no one is home....then the asteroid is to be
destroyed by planting a nuclear device which will shatter the asteroid into thousands of pieces.
The travelers are approached by Scientist Xia Weber. She offers CR 100,000 to visit the asteroid
base and investigate the structure. Any artifacts found inside may be kept by the travelers as part
of their payment. If there are living beings on the asteroid the travelers are to bring them to
safety. If there are no living beings found, or if the living beings can be evacuated, a nuclear
device is to be detonated inside the base which should destroy the entire asteroid.

In adventures of this sort there are always things that can go wrong. Patrons do not always
disclose all of the relevant facts. Sometimes they don’t even know all of the relevant facts. Often
there are others who have competing interests with the patron and who will actively try to
prevent mission success. Sometimes there are just unforseen events which interfere with
completion of a mission.
This adventure has the following issues in play:
1.
There is, indeed, an alien structure on the asteroid. It has been dormant now for hundreds
of years. It was once a scientific research base.
