The door leading to the Lido Deck is locked and sealed shut; the lock has been damaged. When a piece of space debris or a small asteroid collided with the glass roof, it punctured a hole, triggering the safety mechanism that sealed off the Lido Deck to prevent depressurization of the rest of the ship. The door will have to be forced open or the lock repaired. If opened, there won't be any immediate risk of depressurization since a skate currently covers the hole. Clinging to the ceiling and dark niches are skates (1per Wildcard +1).
This week's map is taken directly from the Heart of Darkness adventure. I have included both
White Star and
Savage Worlds stats for this encounter as a bonus this week.
Skate: Skates are very difficult to see against the black vacuum of space; their skin is black with iridescent spots mimicking stars. They have a poison sting that they use to defend themselves when danger comes near. The sting's poison causes paralysis for 3d6 turns.

Skate (x7): HD 1; AC: 7[12]; Attacks: 1 sting (1d3 + poison); Move (Fly 10); Save 17; HDE/XP: 1/15; Special: Save vs. non-lethal poison.

Normally I donate a percentage of my Patreon to the Phoenix Children's Hospital Foundation, but Ryan Denison lost his wife back in November, leaving him and his 2 year old son in a tough spot.
+Dan Proctor has organized a
GoFundMe fundraiser for Ryan and his family as well as some generous RPG PDF and POD bundles in return for donations between $30 and $60. I was able to donate $60 to the fund so far thanks to the generosity of my patrons, and will continue to donate in March. Give what you can if you can and spread the word.
Heart of Darkness is a Science Fiction Gothic Horror Love Story, the story of the maiden voyage of the Mara Irons. After setting sail, the Mara Irons became the victim of an unexpected solar event. Blown off course and out of control, the luxury cruise ship was thrown into the uncharted regions of the Great Barrier Asteroid Field where it was tossed about and battered. Severely damaged and lost, the spacecraft finally came to rest in a sea of mangled metal, lost hope, and broken dreams and in the darkness, something evil wakes.
