I went ahead and ran the area 51 game this week and it went pretty good.
We had Alexander who was a huckster in the Doc Holliday mold, we had Angela who was a teamster, we had Tachi who was a wandering swordsman, Pei Pei who was a saloon owner and a martial artist also and Grace who was a Blessed midwife.
It started with them in the town of Rachel, Nevada and it was business as usual for the small boomtown except that there has been a rise in visitors here because of rumors that something valuable is being stored at the Union fort near here. They all met at Pei Pei's saloon called the "Snakehole" when all the sudden shots rang out and in the middle of town, there was a lynch mob forming around two people in black and a faintly glowing female a fight ensued Pei Pei's martial arts didn't work quite right "s she rolled a one on her martial arts blast power and pretty much they love fist of fury to herself. There was a minor backlash with Alexander's obscure power and he wound up losing a part of his soul to a Manitou(definitely going to use that a plot later).
After they finish the fight one of the men in black was the ground dead (and he curiously looked like Chris Hemsworth)and Agent T (yeah it was Tessa Thompson from MiB international) was lost trying to figure out a way to get the woman, she was protecting back home to Fort 51. Agent T asked the heroes to help to get the mysterious glowing woman to the fort even though it is surrounded by onlookers and the potential for people the try and raid it because of a rumor that there are treasures located within the walls of the fort.
That night they on their way to the Fort they sneak by some of the people gathered getting ready to raid the outpost but they are seen going in and they inadvertently start the people to run and raid the Fort. they try to outrun them with Angela's teamster skill but are inadvertently knocked out because of the fort's defenses.
The group wakes up inside the horde to the rumblings of something attacking the Fort's walls I can have shocked the people at the table bowed banging my Sis on the table quite when people were the chatter I was starting to get a little bit out of character a look around seeing some of the holes in the walls they see out into the light they see streaks of light in the skies and beams of light hitting groups of attackers they come to realize that it was the "Flying Buffaloes", the last remnants of the soldiers that are protecting the fort and all its secrets. Agent T tasks the group to getting the woman safely to Room 12B she gives them the directions as she NEEDED TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY SURVIVORS TO HELP REPEL THE ATTACK need to see if there are any survivors to help repel the attack. The heroes find nothing but a few dead agents and guess everybody else is outside trying to turn back the attackers.
Tried to find their way yes through the 4 with mishaps and lock doors to come across the corridor do what they feel is the way to 12b as they enter the hallway it's rather a long rectangular passageway with mirrors on each wall as they travel into the Room they realized that the doors locked behind them and a beam of light go from one mirrored wall to the other (a la the laser scene and Resident Evil, yeah I had to put a trap in) after a few Agility checks and lots of Bennies thrown around they make it through the trap and into the 12B Room, the Sending Grid. The posse now sees the woman, who is fully glowing now they see her shed her western garments and reveal to have sharp pointy elf-like ears she starts chanting and activates the grid and a portal opens up to a grassland. As they are trying to figure what to do an explosion from outside breaches the wall and destroys the control circuits of the sending grid and causing imminent destruction.
Instead of letting the female just go through the portal. I thought they would just try to sneak out and secure escape. I thought they would leave out through the breach. NOPE, THEY GO AHEAD AND FOLLOW HER THROUGH. They go through the portal and come to a strange land much different than the South West United States in the mid 19th century but with one interesting fact in the distance, there is a dragon flying towards them(I am not a good horror GM, so I'm going to go fantasy).
I thought it was a good one-shot, the group had a great time and it opens the story up for continuation. Thanks for all y'all suggestions and I hope to continue this more.
