Case: The Furnace (PBtA)
 |
This is a scenario for the City of Mist RPG¸ compatible with the Core Books bundle which includes the Player's Guide and the MC Toolkit The Furnace
An Ill-Fated Case of Sweet Temptations and Stolen Dreams
A new drug has hit the streets of the city¸ a special drug for special people like you. It is said to make your sweetest dreams come true¸ but as it takes over the secret world of modern legends¸ new cases of missing persons crop up faster than you can solve them.
Some of the missing are soon found¸ wretched¸ empty¸ and lacking the will to live. As you set out to find what's cooking in the dark wet lanes of the city¸ will you take a chance on your dreams and adopt this toothsome new fad?
The Furnace is a crime drama case which explores a new trend in the secret underworld of rifts in the city: a wish-fulfilling substance called "Candy". This substance¸ which is readily available to the PCs¸ puts their personal desires and aspirations¸ as well as their private lives as rifts¸ in the limelight.
As the crew uncovers a Mythos-powered drug ring across the rift underworld¸ each PC will be able to play through this case as a detective¸ a victim of their desires¸ or both.
The case's trail of temptations is laid by a modern-day witch and the mystical motive behind the drug ring is only revealed at the end of the case.
