Couple of issues with a revamp.<br /><br />1. Do you start the module "en media res" with the pirate attack or do you start it in a more logical place back in Truane's Star?<br /><br />2. What is the meat of the story? Crash in the desert and meat the Ul-mor or should it be changed up?<br /><br />I think that a revamp aught to be changed up, since the original module is 30 years old and a known entity.<br /><br />So...<br /><br />A. Need an encounter or series of encounters in Truane's Star or on the Serrena Dawn before the pirate attack or leading to the pirate attack. Sabotage of the original ship and players must rescue themselves and the crew. Serrena Dawn is a replacement ship but the expedition has been delayed by a month or two. <br /><br />B. Pirate attack- Pirates slipped people aboard the Serrena Dawn as well as a couple of boarding shuttles lifting from Volturnus. Floor by Floor fight with the PCs discovering that the pirates will just blow the ship rather then keep taking losses from the PCs activities- a call comes the chronocom of a pirate they just defeated that tells him to get to the shuttle cause they've detached the cargo module and will just blow the ship.<br /><br />C. Crash on volturnus- instead of the desert they crash in the bashanda forest amongst the thick throns and trees. they have a large area the life boat gouged out and need to attend to the wounded and put out fires. Queequigs come calling- combat encounter. Feeling of being watched- kurabunga hunting party watching them but from a distance- GM fiat they automatically pass stealth and concealment rolls but PCs sense them. Kurabunga think the PCs are pirates, sky demons, and so they just observe rather than contact. Within a day a jetcopter comes to hover over the trees then departs. Next day a large group of pirates are heard moving through the tree branches closing in on PCs position. PCs have a chance to set an ambush but it is a large party of pirates and the kurabunga will join the fight if they are successful in the initial phase of the fight.<br /><br />D. Meet the kurabunga- go to village and win the chief over- role play and hunt by hang glider challenge.<br />With success they join the village without they are asked to leave. They do garner some intelligence on the missing expedition members being with the Ul-mor and the direction of a pirate outpost. <br /><br />End of Crash on Volturnus 2.0
