Some time later you arrive in Orbit above a new world.
"Detecting vast deposits of Vibranium here. No signs of civilization either." One of the scanners says.

The Rogue Trader duck checked the data to understand what he was looking at.
"Hmm... Vibranium is considered to be a nearly invaluable, extremely rare material in known worlds... that is amazing news! Let's put together a scouting team so we can go down there and secure it, lads. I will lead it personally."
If he could secure those vast deposits for the Empire, it would definitely be quite the accomplishment.

"Understood. We will prepare a company." The First Officer says.

"Excellent. Get us close to the largest, most accessible Vibranium deposit we can find within range. We will land in that area", he requested. "I will meet the landing team in the hangar", he said before heading down to it.

You go down and soon arrive in the hold of a landing craft.

Scrooge immediately had a look around his surroundings, especially curious about the Vibranium, but interested in anything else of note. 7 in Intelligence to do so. Looking for anything noteworthy in particular.

A short time later your transport touches down, and mining machines and personel are working to dig up and harvest the material.

The old duck walked up to the officer in charge of the harvesting.
"What do you think? Do we have the resources to harvest it all within a reasonable time frame, or is there so much we might as well just take what we can now and mark it as a valuable future colony location?" he asked.

He shook his head. "With the machines and people we have now it would take years to properly mine out this deposit alone."

Scrooge nodded. "So I suspected... Very well. Let's just mine what we can get for now, and we'll mark this planet on our charts along with a note of its value. Carry on", he said, as he went for a walk around the area to get a look at whatever else the planet might have to offer. 7 in Intelligence to have a look around for anything interesting as I walk.

"Yes sir." They say as they mine while you go along with Joltik, and a few bodyguards.
You walk down a relatively even slope down a couple hundred meters when you hear some kind of screech from the air as you see something big and bird-like swooping down on your position.
"Monster attack!" The bodyguards yell opening fire with their Hellguns.

"Careful!..." Scrooge said, concerned for his men's safety as much as his own, and assisting them with his cane's gas projector! 7 in Ranged Combat plus 1 from Targeting, plus 3 from the gas projector, into a 11 stones (3x damage, Stun damage only) attack VS one of the creatures.
4 (Ef) in Close Combat into defense. (Total ph.defense: 7)

(Just one monster)
The huge Hippogryph dives down only to be driven back by las fire before your gas can take effect.

"Good work, lads", Scrooge complimented. "Think we should head back to the others?"

"Hold on. It's still coming!" They yell opening fire as the half eagle/half horse charges on the ground!
