An excavation on a dead planet reveals puzzles and
adventure!
Obscura Station
Obscura Station is the only inhabited location on
the planet Del-Bitur, deep in the Incognita Cluster
The station is an archeological site, dedicated to
investigating the bizarre alien statues that dot Del
Bitur’s surface. Along with the heroes Obscura
station is home to:
• Captain Samuel Qin, a grizzled archeologist in
charge of the dig.
• Professor Paula dos Santos, a curious research
scientist who investigates alien artefacts
• TQ77, a helpful maintenance and medical
droid who looks after the base and crew
The Silver Cannister
On a routine patrol the heroes see a rockslide has
happened near an alien monolith. Investigating
reveals a deep pit. At the base of the pit is a silver
canister with the following puzzle engraved on it.
Solving the puzzle opens the cannister, and
triggers a whirling pattern of lights.
A few hours after the case is opened Captain Qin
takes a rover buggy and heads out of the base.
Hours later he hasn’t returned and isn’t answering
his radio. Then Paula tries to leave the base on
foot, and head off in the same direction. She can’t
explain where she’s going or why.
Finding the captain means braving the planet’s
dangerous eco-system. The heroes have to avoid
• Violent alien storms with purple clouds and
blue ball lightning
• Alien flowers that release clouds of soporific
spores
• A Tanglewhoop that stalks the heroes, moving
stealthily on its three legs
Their journey leads them to an alien structure.
The door is covered with glowing lights, and Qin’s
buggy is parked outside. To enter the heroes must
solve this puzzle.
The Hibernation Chamber
Within the structure the heroes find a huge dimly
lit room. In alcoves lining the walls are thousands
of marble sarcophogi. Captain Qin is stood in front
of a panel on which is displayed..
Solving the puzzle triggers reanimation protocols
in the chamber. Around the heroes thousands of
aliens are woken after millenia of slumber. Called
Protyps they are friendly and grateful to the heroes
for waking them.
