A typical day in the life of an adventurer: wake up in an inn, eat a hearty breakfast, check your gear, get summoned into a grand melee. Could be worse.
You are thrown from the pub by the crashing meteoric object. The impact knocked you off your feet. When the dust settles several of the space port inhabitants don't look their cheery selves.
The town is awoken by an ear-splitting screech & an earth-shaking rumble. The screams of horror from fleeing miners carries into the night. The local heroes are quickly assembled to investigate.
