Shortly after OVA’s release, an adventure-writing contest was held. This product you
see before you is the winner of that very contest. The only requirement was to feature one or
more of OVA Sample NPC’s. You may have noticed Grant Zurkrieg on the cover.
How you make use of this adventure is up to you. Though it is presented as a whole
piece ready for your gaming group, feel free to tinker and take apart at your leisure. As

his forces were constantly hounded by a

troublesome woman calling herself Lady
Tempest (AKA Arianna), who claimed she
was the current guardian of the Starstone. In
truth, She is a direct descendant of one of the
heroes that imprisoned the demon Azag.
Somewhere in history, her ancestors had lost
track of the Starstone Crucifix but always
secretly passed down the story of its exis-
tence (and the need to protect it) from gener-
ation to generation should one of the blood-
line ever find the treasure again.
Grant Zurkrieg made preparations to
find the girl wearing the Starstone Crucifix.
Apparently she sneaks out at night on her
own, making her an easy target for appre-
hension. Lady Tempest trails Grant, unno-
ticed, to a city's Japantown District where

lies or deceit will not find out Zurkrieg's true
nature or that of his associate, Luna.
Possible explanations are that they are
expert liars or have some kind of item that
negates such abilities. Perhaps such an item
makes Grant appear lawful when being

He was defeated by Arianna's ancestors who found him by chance. The aliens were
there to observe and blend into human society to observe. On their journeys they came
across the cruel Azag being worshipped as a demon king of sorts by humans in one decimat-
