Re: Chapter 3: The Thing in the Ice
Axander & Tarys & Bluetooth & Stirix:
The two time-travellers endured their hike through the snow and stiff winds. Axander, who'd lived through some British winters, fared well enough, though Tarys, Capitol-raised, was less experienced and found the cold creeping into her limbs, despite her polymesh. She shivered and was slowed, and would have to get in front of a heater to shake it.
After about 15 minutes of walking, they'd come upon the grey domes of the camp, rising out of the heaped up snow, beside a spaceship with its engines being steadily angled downward.
Out the front, they saw a welcoming committee: a clawed felinoid in cold weather gear, furs upon furs; and a massive green armoured reptilian.

Stirix and Bluetooth watched the pair approach: they looked like humans, or humanoids, a male and a female, clad in semi-metallic coats that presumably kept out the cold. But they were unarmed and unarmoured.
OOC: I sped you all along to get the groups together. So, say hello. If you like, roll Knowledge checks, Difficulty 12 to ID Stirix as a Martian, and 18 to ID Bluetooth as a Rakshasa (being much more obscure).
