For the past few days, I have soloed my way through The Gilded Lilly (51 pages, at DriveThruRPG). This is an adventure for Traveller, but I used Bandits and Battlecruisers (140 pages, same place, on sale). This RPG is a supplement for Classic D&D. I did add some skill rules to make it better. To solo this, I used the Microsoft Copilot (AI, I asked it detailed questions). The adventure started when the PCs picked up their mission. It was a long-term diplomatic mission for the Coalition. The PCs arrived at the landing pads of the planet Berens by spaceship. They were greeted by Dairoku. He answered a lot of their questions. Next, they talked to Ravi who happened to be one of the three bankers on the planet. The PCs decided to lease a storefront building and have it remodeled. They spent the night at the Kenneally Inn. So, they talked to seven NPCs that day. On the second day, they attended a town meeting and met the other 35 NPCs that call this planet home. On the third day, they went out on a hunting expedition with Mujiba and Delmar. They did find a Thunderbeast which they killed, but Mujiba was killed and the PC Paul went down with a broken arm. The PC Chelsea, a psychic, healed Paul enough so that he could walk back with the others to town. That same day, the PC Sherry tried a local tea. That night, after midnight, Sherry woke up. She was compelled to walk into the woods. In the woods, her eyes caught the sight of something peculiar—a patch of luminescent blue nestled among the green.

She stepped closer and discovered a plant like none she had ever seen before. Its leaves were broad and fleshy. It glowed softly as though illuminated from within. Each leaf was adorned with intricate, vein-like patterns that pulsed rhythmically, almost like a heartbeat. Tiny droplets of an unknown substance beaded along the edges.

The plant's stem was a translucent, crystalline structure. It swayed gently even though there was no wind, it responded to her presence. Upon closer inspection, she noticed the stem emitted a faint, melodic hum, adding an otherworldly atmosphere to the encounter.

At the top of the stem, a cluster of delicate, star-shaped flowers bloomed. These flowers radiated a soft, warm light that contrasted with the cool blue of the leaves. They had an almost hypnotic quality. Their petals moved in a slow, mesmerizing dance.

Suddenly, she felt a slight prickling sensation on her skin. She realized that the plant was releasing tiny spores that glowed like embers in the air. These spores reacted to her body heat. They hovered around her and formed intricate, swirling patterns.

She quickly grabbed her specimen jar, collected a sample of the spores and a few of the plant's leaves for further study. As she sealed the jar, she couldn't shake the feeling that this plant was more than it appeared—that it held secrets. To be continued. Give this fun adventure a try! :)
