Goonie’s World

The team traverses the Collapsing Mire, encountering absurd abominations, and stumbles (literally) onto a shortcut to the Acid Wastes. After battling even more bizarre beasts, they arrive at Plankton Downs, where they’re told that Percy Butterworth’s treasure lies in an abandoned alien city further to the south.
 
 

The adventurers exit the Slow Sledge and are informed that all of the stilt lopers, which would take them the rest of the way to Plankton Downs, have been reserved. The Loper Lord agrees to provide one if the tyrannical overseer of the nearby Xenolithium Mine, whose batteries charge the lopers, were to have an unfortunate accident. The party seeks a more diplomatic path, but the situation inevitably turns violent.

While traveling on the Slow Sledge to Plankton Downs, the team visits the bar, crowded with colorful characters such as ice miners and nuns from the Martian Orthodox Church, when they inadvertently stumble upon the scene of a murder. Wasting no time, they attempt to suss out the killer before more victims are claimed.  

Lump, Clancy, and Sylix make their way underground in search of the Slow Sledge to Plankton Downs, clashing with a resident known as the Fair Evolutionist, who takes a personal disliking to one of the party members. Soon after, they meet a group known as the Toil Pilgrims and are taken to the Plaza of Pondering, where the sledge terminus is located. After purchasing some refreshments, the party once again finds themselves in a fight – this time with the Repurposed Augmented Thugs Guild.

Within the metropolitan city of Bastion, three citizens, heavily in debt to Associated Reanimators, are staying at a transient hostel in the Killduck Borough when the collectors come calling. No peaceful resolution is found. Afterwards, the debtors are sent by the nun Sister Seven to meet with an elderly woman named Ladya Hope, who hires them to retrieve the treasure of the deceased famous explorer Percy Butterworth in Plankton Downs. The team starts off right away, headed to an underground electric conveyance, intent on beating their competition, cryptohistorian Ronin Friendly.

After being confronted by security guards, the team acts swiftly, and a major surprise is revealed. With the portable computer now in their possession, they retreat to a safe location while Khiry extracts some very interesting data. Back at the Aphrodite, the thieves head up to the low orbit docks, where more surprises collide, resulting in a chaotic conclusion that doesn’t work out so well for everyone involved.

The criminal masterminds continue to plot their audacious heist, and Laz manages to set up a rendezvous at a hotel later that evening. In the meantime, they scout out the casino and weigh their options. After they raid a hotel supply closet, Skip is met with an unexpected shock at room #1208.
 

Under the surface of Venus, three ambitious Earthlings conspire at Miixxiie’s Milk Bar and Buffet to accomplish an unthinkable undertaking – robbing the exclusive Aphrodite casino, which orbits above the thick, Venusian clouds. As the would-be heisters get to know each other, a new character and unexpected intel enter the picture. Exciting possibilities begin to emerge.

With treasure in tow, Duddley “Raw Dawg” Gruff, Cosmo Moonfoot, and Emmaleth Starstorm begin their trek back to the Keep on the Borderlands. It’s no walk in the park, however, as the party is pursued by blood-thirsty orcs from the Caves of Chaos. A final surprise greets the heroes near the entrance to the keep.  
 

Another battle with hobgoblins ensues, and later, the rescued merchant’s fate is settled. Finally, the party reaches the culmination of their efforts, and a make-or-break test of valor lies before them. Feelings are shared, and blood is shed.
