Random Table: Coriolis – The Great Dark | The first assignment
Both the adventure The Sky Machine from the Quickstarter and The Black Ziggurat from the core rulebook of Coriolis – The Great Dark assume that the Delver Crew of the PCs has already completed a mission. To make it easier for you to work out what happened during this mission, I have written this little random table.
The Random Table
The year is 185 of the Diaspora. You have been training as promising recruits under the guidance of the Explorers Guild for some time, but your baptism of fire is still pending: your first Delve. However, the wait is over when Master Moska summons you. The time of waiting is over!
Where will the mission take you?
You are sent to a ruin of the Portal Builders, because that is your guild’s area of expertise. However, since you have no practical experience yet, your first mission will be to one of the known ruins. But that doesn’t make it any less dangerous!

| 5 | Valley of Dust in the Gamaru system |
