Playing Dice with the Universe

  Chapter 1 Reunion Tanis and Tasselhoff were the first of the travellers to return to Solace and be reunited with Flint. A week later Tanis heard a strange tale about a woman with healing powers only a days journey away on the other side of the lake. Taking Flint's cart he and Tass headed off to investigate. They were overjoyed to encounter Caramon and Raislin on the road coming towards town. As the four friends caught up on what had happened over the last five years two plainsmen came running out of the woods being chased by Hobgoblins and an Ogre. A short battle ensured during which the companions saw one of the two woman, who carried a glowing blue staff, calling up Mishakal and the wounds inflicted on the other women closed.

  The Aliens RPG starter set contains the "Chariot of the Gods" prewritten adventure.  The adventure is in three acts and each of the five player characters get personal agenda cards for each act.  They can earn story points for completing their objectives.  I ran the adventure with three players as a one off session between our D&D campaigns.
