Crash of the Sky People:
BONUS ADVENTURE! The infamous winged sky-pirates from the planet Tahlmohl have crashed! Their ship was blasted in two by a defending craft¸ and the "bow" half has fallen near the PCs. The pilots died¸ but not before activating a distress beacon that extends a green column of light into the sky. Some of the ship's robots and constructs survived the crash¸ and they wait to be rescued by those Tahlmohlians that will surely answer the beacon's call. In the meantime¸ who knows what alien riches sit in the wreckage¸ waiting to be plundered? Written by Terry Olson.
