T+2 hours
I give up. It’s too hard. On another note, the slingshot worked, and nobody is going to burn up in atmo. Which is a small fucking consolation when the moon passes by the observatory window. That’s where I’m at now, back where this shitshow started, with grog from the mess, here to watch an epic

T-4 hours
4 fucking hours. That’s what it’s come down to. I salvaged the cable drum easily enough and inspected it at least ten times. There’s plenty. Everything is prepared. Over-prepared. The rig is reinforced. I repaired and charged up a second, well, third depending on how you count. I spread out tools and suits in strategic

T-24 hours
There’s nothing quite like sunrise in space, especially from the outside. Seen it twice now in the last couple hours, in absolute silence, and let me tell you, it makes this whole shitshow seem so insignificant. Humanity, so insignificant. We’re nothing but a blip in time. Floating out here made me think of a book

T-32 hours
Let’s try a different tack. 32 hours and I haven’t keeled over. Still don’t have the cable, but I know where it is. It’s where my rig is. I’ll get to that. I went for the option with the cable. In no way was I going to launch myself into space without a lifeline, and

T-55 hours
I’m alive. Mostly thanks to duct tape and dumb luck. Found some cable, don’t have it, long story. Arm’s not doing great, but I can pilot a rig withou—Al, is the other one charged yet? You need to lay still. No, I need to get out there. I need more adrenaline, not—

With the Spirit Blade in hand, you have returned to Cairn Var. It is time to finish this. It is time to defeat the Lich King, before the forces of evil overrun these lands. King Roland depends on you. The kingdom depends on you. It is time to become legend. NOTES This quest is an

A Sliver of Hope
The Lich King has been awoken, and an army of the restless dead will mean certain defeat for King Roland as he marches against the orcs. Plans are already set in motion and time is short. It now falls on you, my friends, to locate the Spirit Blade, to defeat the Lich King, before all

T-61 hours
Sitrep. 61 hours to point of no return, and I need another quarter mile cable. It’s close enough that I could dismantle my makeshift coms array and use that cable. I’ll get a smaller window to hit the Icarus, but at least it’s possible. On the flip side, I would be flying blind. Al’s calculations

The Lich King of Cairn Var
To fight in the coming war, King Roland will need to unite the lands, and his squabbling nobles, under one ruler. Legends speak of a banner, flown high by the kings of old, and His Majesty has offered a reward of 200 gold coins to bring it safely to him. The banner was last seen

Fortress of Fear
King Roland is calling for heroes to end the new wave of orc incursions before it comes to all out war. His Majesty has put a bounty of 10 gold coins for each goblin killed, 20 coins for each orc, 30 coins for each abomination, and a full 50 gold coins for every dread warrior
