 August 10, 2026 - 9:57am | I have a daily art ap and it just showed me a brass figure from a location in Africa that was a guardian of a family's sacred reliquary where bones or skulls of ancestors were stored. It got me thinking: an alien might use a robot guardian. Tempt the players by letting them translate the word reliquary from alien script. Alternately they find a "reliquary" but the translation is faulty it's the alien equivalent of a freeze field. They have to get past the guardian AND if they open the reliquary the alien inside was there for the same reason a PC might be in a freeze field: to save his life! Instead of finding bones and maybe treasure they are confronted with a medical emergency on an alien. If the alien dies this will/could impact future events. Like the alien's friend/family/compatriot shows up and is all: "What have you done?" I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
