Babes in London: Act Three, Scene 1B (Part 2: Attack on the Artist—Aftermath)

SCENE 1B: ATTACK ON THE ARTIST

Aftermath

Once the Setites have been defeated or driven off, PCs can obtain directions from David Markovin to the mansion in the picture. It is known as Tenson’s Place. (Go to Act 4, Scene 1.) If either David Markovin or the PCs are captured the following modifications are needed:

If David is captured and taken away, but the PCs are able to fend off the Setites, then the Setites take the artist back to their temple and, after discovering the scene where the unicorn picture was painted, use his entrails as a source of divination. PCs do not get the ‘Modern Reward: Friend of the Artist David Markovin.’

If David and the PCs are captured and taken away, go to Act 4, Scene 3: Seek & Ye Shall Find. You will need to modify the action in this scene to reflect that the PCs have been captured and have not found the cultists temple through their own investigations; a sidebar is provided.

PCs may wish to delay going to Tenson’s Place in favour of one, or more of the following options:

• try to find mythological references to red boars. Go to Act 3, Scene 3A – Follow-up (Library Investigation); Act 3, Scene 3B – Follow-up (University Investigation); OR Act 3, Scene 3C – Follow-up (Museum Investigation), whichever is appropriate;

• try to find out what the symbol on the disc and the Red Boars means – without going to Emblae or the Fae of Haverhill. Go to Act 3, Scene 3A – Follow-up (Library Investigation); Act 3, Scene 3B – Follow-up (University Investigation); OR Act 3, Scene 3C – Follow-up (Museum Investigation), whichever is appropriate;

• go to Emblae (if they have played The Fire Within) to find out what the symbol on the disc and the Red Boars means – in which case the faery identifies the creatures as the Red Boars of Set and gives them the information listed on pp. 36-37;

• go to the Fae of Haverhill (if they have played The Fire Within) to find out what the symbol on the disc and the Red Boars means in which case PCs receive the information on p. 37

• contact allies in LN7, go to Act 3, Scene 2A – Follow-up (LN7);

• contact the Gehenna Consortium, go to Act 3, Scene 2B – Follow-up (Gehenna Consortium).

Also, if you like this adventure and want to play it, please go buy the official rulebooks from somewhere where the original creators and publisher of the setting will be paid. I got mine from a Melbourne game store, but I’ve found PDF versions of the Player's Handbook and the Gamemaster's Handbook are now available from DriveThruFiction. If you enjoy their world, this is the best way to thank them.
