The Saturday Savages started At Your Door this week. Curtis and
Jackson actually showed up this week and made characters (Sheriff Carter Jones and
Dr. William Blake, respectively).
WARNING: SPOILERS CONTAINED WITHIN
If ever you think you might play this adventure, read no
further!
The game started Friday, 13 July 2012, with Lord
Stang receiving an e-mail from Robert Jatik of Full Wilderness (an
environmental organization dedicated to the maintenance and expansion of
protected wilderness reserves) who claimed to have an unusual and sensitive
situation requiring his particular skills… so, over the weekend, Stang and his
most trusted advisors (Joey
Roberts, Leonard
Tipple, and Dr. Blake) flew to Samson California. Before leaving
however, Stang made a call to Sheriff Jones, to let him know they would be in
the country and if he could help out they could pay him handsomely.
On Monday morning (16 July 2012) they met with Jatik who explained
that he had reason to believe a company his organization funds research at was
actually using their money to conduct illegal and potentially very dangerous
genetic research (not what they were hired to do!). His evidence turned out to
be some sort of strange, almost alien creature with many mouth-like orifices
and tentacles…
Unfortunately the researcher that provided them with the
specimen has also disappeared…
The first task, however, Jatik required of them was to
escort the specimen to another laboratory to determine what exactly it was that
they HAD!?
Along the way they were ambushed. Two truck and two
motorcycles cut them off and a dozen, heavily armed men jumped out and demanded
that they open up the back of the truck containing the specimen.
When Lord Stang made a move to go for cover and pull out his pistol the man covering him shot – everyone else went for their guns and an extremely short, extremely violent gun-battle broke out on a downtown street of Samson, California. Six of the attackers were wounded in the battle, and miraculously NONE of the players characters… Dr. Blake shot three of them himself!?
With half their number down the remaining baddies skedaddled.

The players' characters spent the rest of the afternoon answering questions for
the police – who seemed more than a little suspicious… Their weapons were seized
and they were told not to leave town… They were eventually able to deliver
the specimen to the lab… and that’s pretty much where we left off.
