"A Storm Part 1"

"Gregor, Markus, and Harlock wake up in a mysterious cave....Where could Ashe and the rest be??" - A Storm Part 1.
== Plot Synopsis ==
Markus, Gregor and Harlock wake up alone in a dark cave, which Harlock identifies as being in Freearch based on the smell of the ocean. After some discussion about the possible whereabouts of their missing compatriots, they manage to find a way that seems to lead away from the "room" the trio currently finds themselves in, albeit it's partially blocked off by some planks.
However, before they crawl underneath the planks, Harlock manages to spot a crossbow-trap aimed perfectly towards them if they had walked normally through. Harlock informs the other two that the trap was most likely used against rats, but had been reused to its current purpose. She quickly manages to disarm it, though. She gives the crossbow, with a bolt coated in something, to Gregor, but after hearing that he can't really see which way's which in the darkness, she takes it back.
After dismantling the trap, removing various rusty nails in the way, and almost referring Gregor and Markus as friends, Harlock, Gregor and Markus manages to move to the next area. Within this area, there's a gaping hole above them, giving them some lighting. Thinking quickly, Harlock uses her grappling hook to elevate the trio to the above floor. Before doing that, though, she hands Gregor back the crossbow, who find out that the bolt is coated in a poison that is really effective against trolloids. There is, however, only one bolt.
Up through the hole, the trio hears some strange sounds, and goes into hiding; Markus up against the wall, Harlock disappearing underneath a table, and Gregor sliding underneath another table, which lands him face to face with a trolloid.

== Quotes ==
* GM: Two of you humans struggle with this induced darkness. But, uh, a certain third person... doesn't.
* Harlock: I'm wearing my glasses.
----
* GM: You've got a mystery on your hands.
* Harlock: Yeah, first mystery is; Where is Astra? I'm about to get fired.
* Markus: I was gonna ask where Ashe was. Do you think they, what, went on ahead?
* Harlock: I'm not paid to follow her.
* Gregor: Wait. You're not paid to follow her? Why do you show up all the time?
----
* Harlock: We should probably disarm this before we proceed forward.
* Gregor: Disarm what? Where did you go?
* Harlock: There's a poison-coated crossbow up here. Don't worry about it, I'll handle it. You don't worry your precious little cinnamon bun about anything.
* Gregor: Why does she...?
* Harlock: Harlock is going to get you through this.
----
* Markus: If you wouldn't mind, actually, like, going on retainer or something, we'd love to have you around whenever we start literally anything.
* Harlock: That would be much more expensive, but I'm sure we could work something out... between... friends.
* Gregor: Does it count as having her on retainer--- What!?
* Harlock: Ignore that. Let's get going.
* Markus: Did you just refer to us as friends? Did she just refer to us as friends?
* Gregor: Just let her pretend that she didn't, and then she'll realise that she really likes us a lot later, and then we'll be real friends. But for now, don't break her fragile ego.
----
* GM: Before you enter the next area, do you want to give Gregor the crossbow?
* Harlock: Yes. This is for all of the birthdays that I've missed.
* Gregor: Well, thank you! This makes up for it.
