Conclusion
Assuming the characters are victorious, they will be heading
back to civilization, likely Inner Station.
They will not be molested by any natives on the way back, other than a
message from Satha, if he survived.
Perhaps congratulations and an offer of permanent alliance, or perhaps a
taunt and a challenge. The rebellion is
over for the moment in any case.
The group will be credited with helping to end the war and
hailed as heroes by the colonists. They
will have a full honors military escort back to Home Station. Kurtz will also be honored. The official story will be that he gave his
life to end the threat. The Governor will
invite the group to a state dinner with the Baron. They are promoted to the honorary rank of
Captain (inactive, of course, but who knows if they’ll be called upon again to
active service) and given medals of valor.
After dinner, with the Baron advising him, the Governor will then offer
the Characters apportioned fiefs on a map or gold bars in payment for their
service to the Commonwealth.
The final sad duty for the group (1 XP), as suggested by the
Baron, will be meeting with the Intended (assuming she wasn’t at the
temple). With Kurtz’s death, she’ll be
leaving this Dark Continent behind. She will ask about Kurtz’s final fate and his
last words. As from Heart of Darkness:
“His last word--to live with,” she murmured. “Don't you understand I loved him--I loved
him--I loved him!”
I pulled myself together and spoke slowly. “The last word he pronounced was--your name.”
The End
