A Ghostly Presence
The reading of the professor's will
Chapter Synopsis & GM Prep Notes
The campaign begins with a chilling paranormal encounter: in the dead of night, an investigator is awakened by a soft, supernatural green light. At the foot of their bed stands a faceless, spectral apparition of their late friend and mentor, Professor Philip Baxter. This terrifying visitation sets a dark and urgent tone, signaling that the professor's recent demise was anything but natural.
Days later, the investigators gather in Providence under a torrential downpour to attend Baxter’s gloomy funeral at Swan Point Cemetery. The somber atmosphere is punctuated by the tense reading of his will at Judge Braddock's austere law office.
Here, the characters are bequeathed not just his worldly possessions, but a perilous legacy: mysterious clues, a house full of secrets, and fragmented notes hinting at bizarre Dreamlands, including a ruined china shop and the perilous Jungle of Kled.
