This month we are trying something different, not only do the Patreons get a dirty and anthology Pdf but they also get a 72 hour head start. I'm hoping this solves the small problem I was having with trying to show how excellent I think my Patreons are!
Anyway, here is a one-page romp for the week, a little different from my normal offerings as it is not fantasy and the characters may not be the good guys!
Enjoy!
Dinosaurs of the Protected Zone
A 5-Minute Adventure for Xplorers

Adventure
Background
You
and your crew have been hired by the Nostreum Group to recover a
research satellite that went missing several months ago from the obit
of Planet – PZ4. This is considered an Omega Level assignment due
to the fact that PZ4 is a protected planet under the protection of
the TEPA (Terrain Extraterrestrial Protection Authority) and
knowledge of your mission or the satellite will be disavowed by the
Nostreum Group.
The
protected planet holds a form of life that is a genetic match for
hundreds of species of dinosaurs from Old Earth's history. Nostreum's
illegal satellite was recording genetic data of the creatures in the
hopes of selling the genome to parties that wished to own their own
dinosaurs or exploit the genome in some other means.
While
the satellite has crashed it still emanates a sub-space signal on a
frequency only detectable by Nostreum equipment. This
equipment
requires a Computer Skill check to successful triangulate the general
direction of
the
satellite.
Adventure
– Objectives
1.
Recover the Satellite's core which holds the data Nostreum requires.
Failing that destroy the core utterly to main proprietary technology
belonging to Nostreum.
2.
Optional –
Collect a
living sample from planet-side. An egg will do.
3.
Optional –
Locate and
disable automated surveillance station controlled by TEPA located in
Sector B.
Adventure
– PZ4
PZ4
(Protected Zone 4), is an Earthlike planet with traditional
atmosphere and gravity but with a 12 hour day. Currently PZ4’s
Northern Hemisphere is in the Earth equivalent to early Spring;
mating season. The Satellite crashed on the Northern
landmass
in a mountainous region, it is believed to be in Sector C. While
traveling through the Sectors in search of the satellite the players
have a 3 in 6 chance of encountering the following:
Sector
A
Sector
A has herds of migrating Sauropods. Sauropods will generally leave
small creatures alone, however, the may not notice such small things
as humans and step on them by mistake. There are several hunter
dinosaurs following the herd. While in Sector A Players are three
times as likely to encounter Raptors and T-Rex.
Sectors
B & D
These
mountainous regions have few of the larger dinosaurs, but is the
realm of the mating Pterodactyls who may see the players as an
excellent gift to prospective brides. The automated security station
is located in Sector B’s northern edge,
have
buried in a toxic lake.
Sector
C
Heavy
forests mask the predators who are on a consist hunt for food. The
Satellite is in the forests of sector C and is being guarded by 5d6
Security Drones.
Concluding
the Adventure
Should
the Players recover the satellite They will be rewarded with 500
Credits and a promise of further employment. Should they be unable to
recover the core and must destroy it, they will receive 100 credits
and no promises. A Live egg will earn them another 100 credits.
Finally, should the automated station not be destroyed the players
will find a 10,000 credit bounty on each of them contracted by TEPA.
