AAR BATTLE REPORT pulp PERILOUS ISLAND - SCENARIO 1 - SHOTS ON THE SAND

I'm  starting this pulp alley campaign called perilous Island, which, through various scenarios, will take us on a journey around the world to try to locate the successful archaeologist Lord Donovan Darrow, who disappeared under strange circumstances while conducting excavations in Egypt. 

The characters we will be playing this campaign with (and I say "we will playing" as I hope you will join me) will be the members of the Carlyle expedition, four archaeologists and adventurers: our hero is Roger Carlyle (hero), leader of the expedition, Madeleine Carson (ally), and two helpers (followers).

The characters we will play with are in Tunisia conducting an investigation when they are notified by the daughter of Lord Donovan Darrow, Elizabeth Darrow, telling them that her father has disappeared while he was conducting excavations in Egypt, also fearing for his life, requests their help.

Elizabeth Darrow is in an archeological excavation that she is carrying out in Algeria, and there she wants to meet the investigators to begin the search for her father. 

PERILOUS ISLAND - SCENARIO 1

SHOTS ON THE SAND

(aka Hidalgo fire) 

The characters move to the Saif Valley, in Algeria, where Elizabeth Darrow is, there they will pick her up and go to Egypt to look for the father. 

The green dots we can see are the plot points, one of them is Elizabeth Darrow herself, another is her bodyguard and others are scattered around the scenario (luggage, tent ...)

We deploy Roger Carlyle and the members of his expedition on the one hand, and on the contrary a group of unknown guys with no good intentions (an ally and four followers).

The game begins and in the first two turns Roger Carlyle and a companion take a Plot point and initiate a firefight with several of the unknown enemies, two of these enemies and the companion of our hero are shot down. 

One of the enemies reaches a Plot point, and a snake comes out of the sand and attacks him, causing a wound.

The shooting continues on the other side, our hero is shot down, but not before leaving the remaining enemy wounded.

One of the members of the Carlyle expedition takes two plot points, among them Elizabeth Darrow, and he escorts her, taking the initiative and leaving the game board, obtaining the victory of the game.

After the game is over, Elizabeth Darrow tells the members of the Carlyle expedition that her father was in Egypt immersed in excavations when he stopped sending letters. 

She got in touch with her father's best friend (a historian expert in Egyptology residing in Greece), he told her that Lord Donovan Darrow embarked on an expedition through the desert in the low Nile, and has not heard from him or the archaeologists who accompanied him. 

Elizabeth Darrow urges our heroes to leave Algeria as soon as possible and travel to Greece, where her father's close friend is, and who told her that he had very valuable information about her father's whereabouts. 

In the next episode our heroes will have to leave Algeria by ship and travel to Greece...
