Ladybug, Ladybug, L adybug, Investigator Investigator Handout #2 —Skimming the Book of the Passover Angel Tis is a cheap paperback printed by a vanity press, about 200 pages in length. It is comprised comprised o our chapters. Te first two are word or word reprints o the King James versions o the books o Genesis and Exodus, although a clause rom Exodus 11:6, about how the outcry o woe rom the death o the firstborn will not ever be repeated, is omitted. Te third chapter is called the Kenyan Revelations, Revelations, and is authored by the Reverend John Balour. Tis too is short, and talks about his youth mission in interior Kenya. He is vague about where in Kenya that he went, but it was clearly somewhere in the remote interior. interior. He talks about encountering a “wise prophet o o the Lord” there. She posited that the Apocalypse Apocalypse o John was alse and unreliable, and that it was more likely the end o the world would be visited by God upon man in some way that was consistent with both history and the laws o science. She then explained that the en en Plagues o Egypt were a ar more likely way that God would purge the wicked: they are all natural disasters that could ollow rom a volcanic cataclysm and ensuing distortion o weather patterns, and God had purged the world o wickedness in this way beore. Te “wise prophet” prophet” openly challenges the interpretation o Exodus 11:6 that the plagues o Egypt were a one-time event, and promises that when the time comes, the Lord through his Passover Angel will purge the wicked in the same way. Balour even cites some scientific papers on this topic, including Te Plagues o Egypt: Archaeology, History, and Science Look at the Bible, by Siro Igino revisanato : Georgia Press LLC, 2005; and Marr J.S., Malloy C.D., An epidemiologic analysis o the ten plagues o Egypt. Caduceus, (Springfield), (Springfie ld), Ill., 1996 Spring; 12(1):7–24. Te ourth chapter is a set o bizarre drawings, set orth as an Appendix to the Kenyan Revelations. Tere are star charts, Enochian occult drawings, incomprehensible diagrams depicting thaumaturgical triangles, magic circles, and complicated mathematical ormulae, all without any sort o prose explanation.

“When I was about twelve, my buddy Dale Lafleur and I snuck into the Cooper house on a dare. We We didn’t see ghosts gho sts or anything like that, but we found this dead cat. It was an old o ld tabby we found in a corner of the kitchen, all big and bloated. I assumed it was just bloated with gases like roadkill, and being a stupid kid,

I poked it with a stick. Well that damn thing just…erupted. It bust and pouring out of it were these hideous, white, spider-like things. Dozens of them. I had never seen anything like them before or since. They weren’t spiders, kind of slugs with legs. I know that don’t make any sense. Anyway, they must have somehow crawled up inside the cat and were eating it from the inside out, because there wasn’t much left of that poor, old tabby when they came tearing out.

Dale and I ran out of that house screaming and we refused to tell anyone about it. A few years later he moved away, so I don’t know if he still thinks about it or not, but I have never forgotten.”

Upon her death, all the Brood inside o Vanessa come spilling out o her; seeing that costs 1/1D6 SAN. Vanessa’s Special Abilities:
Bolstered Stats: due to the rejuvenating energy pumped into her by the Lord o the Labyrinth every ew weeks or months, plus the myriad psychically-endowed Brood reinorcing her, Vanessa is preternaturally strong, healthy, and spiritually powerul. Brood Swarm: once a week, Vanessa Vanessa can vomit out a large number o semi-mature Brood. Usually the Brood o Eihort just skitter away to the darkest places available when they burst orth, but due to the special connection between the Chosen and the Brood inside them, this squirming, writhing horde o white spider-like things are under her control. Tis Brood swarm has 10 Hit Points, but ignores singular attacks like gunshots, melee weapons, stomping eet, and the like. Only attacks that deal damage over an area will harm the swarm, such as fire, explosions, jugs o acid, electriying the floor that they are crawling over, driving a steamroller over them, etc. Te tiny spider-things cannot really attack per se, but i a victim was immobilized or unconscious, then the Brood could gnaw the person to the bone in time, doing 1 Hit Point o damage per 1d10 minutes. Vanessa will instead use this flood o awulness to suffocate a single target. Seeing this mass o tiny horrors costs 0/1D6 SAN, but the one targeted by this attack will lose much more, as the Brood clamor up their body and try to crawl down their nose and throat. Tis causes 1/1D8 San loss or the awul invasion, and Keepers should consult the drowning/suffocation rules in the Call o Cthulhu rulebook. Cthulhu rulebook. Only destroying the Brood swarm completely will stop this attack; jumping into water or rolling on the ground will wi ll have no effect, as there t here are just too many creatures to crush and they do not need to breathe. Area affecting attacks which are effective against the Brood swarm, like fire and acid, will also deal damage to the one being suffocated by the tiny terrors. Luckily the swarm moves slowly, only at a MOV o 4, or about hal as ast as the typical person. So Vanessa will only use this attack on unsuspecting targets or in small, tight places where escape is difficult.
A Chosen o Eihort is very hardy. Tis is because the Brood inside continue to multiply as they grow, then becomes de-aged, and then grow and multiply again. In this endless process, the Brood will consume bones, muscle, and even organs inside their host to make room or their ever increasing numbers. Te innate magical and parasitical nature o the Brood allows them to effectively mimic the organs and other internal bits they consume, so that their vessel can can continue continue to live live as they mature mature inside inside them. Tis Tis makes the Chosen very resistant resistant to damage, as as attacks against them have less vital things to destroy. Because o this, Vanessa takes only 1 point o damage per attack, impaling or not, and is immune to drowning, poisons, and gas. Fire, explosions, or other damage that could harm her all over do normal damage, but Vanessa regenerates 2 Hit Points Points per round, as the Brood inside her he r has become so accustomed to their vessel and will repair damage to their host. 34

Te Night Season, Investigator Handout #1, A Synopsis of the Coroner’s Report Into Robert Horn Horn’’s Suicide.
Te coroner’s report includes both an autopsy as well as copies o the police report and interview intervie w notes. In Anchorage, Alaska, the coroner is a State o Alaska employee (see nearby or Coroner’s report orm). Robert Horn was ound in his bedroom be droom at his home at 2513 W. W. 39th St. in Anchorage. His door was locked rom thewas inside, androm his parents broke down when he ailed to get up in the morning or school. Te only window locked the inside as it well. Robert had been stabbed in the stomach by by an odd, artistic looking blade, blade, and bled out. Initially puzzled puzzled by the blade, the police approached the matter as a potential homicide. However, the angle o the stab, lack o fingerprints or other trace evidence, and locked nature o the room led to a conclusion o suicide beore long. Te coroner concluded concluded that the angle o the wound was consistent with stabbing onesel while in a seated position. Te nature o the knie eluded the coroner, although a picture o it is in the file. His parents and the police were unable to identiy it or where it might have come rom, as were others who were interv interviewed. iewed. Since it was obviously a suicide based on the orensics, this line o inquiry was not pursued urther. Interviews were conducted with his parents, John and Maggie Horn; his recent ex-girlriend, Brittany Long; and his school’ school’ss assistant principal, Phillip Zentkowski. Tey all reported versions o the same thing: Robert was a comparatively normal 18 year old boy; an average to below average student; who played ootball on the varsity squad; and showed no prior signs o o mental illness until shortly beore his death. He was a jock whose hobbies included loud music, partying, cars, sports and girls. Robert had gotten into some minor disciplinary scrapes at school or pranks or bullying, but never any serious criminal trouble. He showed no signs o depression until the weekend two weeks beore his suicide, at which point, he suddenly became seriously depressed. He complained about not not being able to sleep, became withdrawn, and suddenly ended his relationship with Ms. Ms. Long without explanation. He was absent rom school, whereabouts unknown, or the entire week preceding his suicide, and the assistant principal had set a parent/teacher conerence or the morning on which he was ound. A bizarre, rambling, crudely drawn suicide note, done in ballpoint pen and spattered with blood, was ound near the body.

Te Night Season, Investigator Handout #4 Background and Synopsis of Te City in the Clouds
Te City in the Clouds was a Mexican-produced, English language science fiction television program. It was filmed in 1977 and aired in limited syndication in the U.S. in 1978. Only one season, consisting o 16 episodes, was produced. produced. Te series had a very low budget, and production production values on a par with especially cheap episodes o the original Star rek or Lost in Space. Te series was a joint project between sixteen independent science fiction authors, each o whom wrote an episode in round robin ormat. ormat. It blended episodic television with ongoing plot themes, along with a strong dose o telenovella style, bodice-ripping, bodice- ripping, soap opera romance romance stories. It aired occasionally in syndication up through the late 1990s, but has not aired in the U.S. since. It has never been commercially available, due to the inability o the sixteen authors to agree on its release. Bootleg recordings are available on the black market, but efforts to post it on file-sharing sites have been the subject o vigorous take down actions. Plot-wise, the show was centered on (and rarely lef, due to budget concerns) the eponymous City in the Clouds. Te City was a port o call and trading post, set above a orest moon that was off limits to offworlders. Several l different together in Queen the City, Cityin , engaged in skulldugger skullduggery , ought duels, and romanced Severa one another. another . Tecultures City wascame overseen by the the Clouds, played by ayvoluptuous volup tuous ormer centerold model. Te Queen dressed provocatively, and was wooed by alliance-seeking members o all the actions and humanoid races that requented the City. Te Queen, however, was in love with the dashing and athletic Horatio, the captain o her Cloud Guards. Teirs was a urtive, politically impossible, star-crossed romance, and Horatio gives his lie or his Queen in the last episode. Te Cloud Guards ought with swords (indeed, bladed weapons were carried by just about everyone, and swordfights were a requent occurrence occurre nce on the show), and wore wore medieval green livery. A running joke throughout the series concerned the ineptness and short liespan o any Cloud Guard who was more than anything than an extra in the background. Te alien races trading and inveigling at the City included the warlike, honor bound Zeplark (looking like Vikings in leopard print loincloths); the vaguely reptilian, sneaky, mercantile Slithliks; the dwarfish Lipputs (played by little people) and the inscrutable, pallid, genderless Gauntts, who are slowly laying the groundwork or an invasion invasion and conquest o the City. City. Zeplarks are quick to commit to suicide with long, nasty artistic knives i their honor is stained, and in several episodes the Queen must talk one down off the proverbial ledge over a misunderstanding. Notwithstanding all o this, the series has a cult ollowing online, and is now viewed as being ahead o its time. Tere is nothing to be gained by running down the writers, actors or producers o the show.

Kit & Equipment Checklist In the heat o battle it’s handy to know where your vital kit is, where that C4 was hidden, or how easy it is to draw that longsword. Tis handy reerence tool and it’s pages will detail where your much needed items are. Primarily ocused around games that don’t detail the small items, it is also useul so you can keep track o weight, encumberance, and any ammunition. Te second in a series o character aids aimed at rounding out the inormation or your PC, the end pages to this document will suit a variety o games and as such will use vague terms as ‘ammunition’ rather than ‘arrows’, ‘M14 clip’, or ‘Remaining laser charge’. Similarly, while ‘On Person’ is is reasonably obvious, ‘Vehicle’ could relate to your characters horse and saddlebags, trunk or boot o his car, or hold o his Scout Ship. ‘At Home’ is is a similar catch-all term to mean castle, condo, galleon, or star liner state room.
CAVEA: All the pockets, hold alls, and other items are at the whim o WO defining orces in your role-playing session. Te first is Common Sense. No amount o pleading that something is on your sheet will make it legit i it won’t fit. A 12lb Victorian artillery piece is not going to fit in the pocket o your atigues no matter how much you want it too. Te second is Rule Zero. Rule Zero simply states that whatever the GM says, goes. I he doesn’t think your ‘44 Magnum can fight in that back pocket o your jeans then it can’t. Te GM is the arbiter o your game world and can determine what is easable and what is not. Don’t worry though, just show him your sheet and i it’s reasonable (and he’s a good GM) he’ll work with you.
Step One: At Hand Te heat o battle is a time when you really need to know what you can reach out and grab at a moment’s notice. Maybe you’re ambushed by a band o Orcs in Mirkwood or sitting down to eat at a mall ood court when Dr Sinestro shows up. Rather than having to explain where something is, an item that is ‘At Hand’ is is something that takes ta kes no time to ready and is available to use us e instantly. It’s ok to leave any o the ollowing boxes empty i you want your hands ree or any purpose, but remember they are there so you don’t have to decide on the spot. Lef Hand

At Rest Adventuring In Combat
93
‘At Rest’ means means the kind o item your player-characters would carry in their hands i they were in a market or a quayside. A time when they are (apparently) under no threat whatsoever. Many players will simply leave these boxes empty. Tey are included or those players who like to present an affectation such as flipping a coin, bouncing a small ball, drinking a 32oz Coke, or twirling a set o keys. ‘Adventuring’ means the kind o items you would hold when things are a little tense. Maybe you are heading down the steps in an old mansion in search o a cult, or you are heading into a dungeon with a earsome reputation, or stepping into a bar on a dry planet in a port known or being a hive o scum and
villainy villainy. Tis can a weapon wea pon in your your main hand, hand, and a light light source such such as a torch torch or flashlight, flashlight, or a motion. tracker inbe your off-hand. ‘In Combat’ details details the items you carry when in a ull on fight. Unless you’re a magic user, superpowered hero, or a telepath, these are likely to be a weapon. Its possible o course to have both boxes filled in with the same weapon i it’s a long arm like a pike or plasma rifle. Otherwise, it could be a combination o sword or axe and shield, 9mm auto and LED flashlight, crucifix and vial o holy water, or a long sword and an off-hand dagger.
Step wo: On Person Tese are those vital items that aren’t in your hands initially but can be transered there in a short time period (a ew seconds, a round, a turn, or whatever your game uses as a short measure o time). Tey need not be weapons but could be a notebook, a police badge, a wallet, or a coin purse. Common sense is needed here to properly place items in their proper recpticle. Keep in mind the bulk o an object. Each pocket may be able to carry a small number o items (such as a wallet and mobile phone). Upper Lef Side

94
Jacket or Cloak’ Cloak’ is Most o the entries in this step are quite obvious. A ‘ Jacket is usually able to hold more items than, say, a pair o trousers. One o these ‘pockets’ in the jacket may not be a pocket at at all but a gun holster, or maybe it’s a secret pocket designed to hold valuables not readily ound.
Te pockets o a pair o ‘rousers or rews’ (they’re (they’re medieval equivalent) tend to hold small items such as a pocket watch, keys, small change, or a wallet and I.D. but they can also hold caltrops or a switchblade. Bear in mind that most medieval trews and their equivalent didn’t have pockets but it’s possible your GM may allow them, or substitute them or a bag like a money belt or a Kilt’s Sporran. Te items usually kept ‘In Boots’ are are things that normal society would rown upon i seen in clear view. Tey may be drugs, stiletto blades, a small back-up body pisto pistol,l, or smuggled nano tech. Besides the illicit reasons or carrying things in your boots the usual item is still money when the wearer is entering shady part o town. ‘Other Pockets’ is is or those unusual hidey-holes that people create in order to smuggle or as part o their inventive nature. It could be under their hood or helm, keeping a gun in their belt, or something flat in the lining o their jacket.
Step Tree: Hand Luggage Some thingsFor are items just too bulky awkward to carry on your person. WearingDon’t 10 shirts is ayou dumb toa carry shirts. like theseoryou need pouches, hold-alls, and suitcases. orget, willway need way o transporting these bags.
Handbag or Satchel Quiver or Back Scabbard Kit Bag or Large Sack Suitcase or Chest
Weapon Crate or
Armoire 95
Entries in this section depend on how you carry those larger items or those multiple items when your character is travelling a long distance. For many, a satchel or kit bag is sufficient but others may require more portage, especially i they are on a long quest, trans-European 1920’s train holiday, or are moving home. ‘Handbag or Satchel’ is is or those small items that can’t be carried on your person or a clumsy and bulky enough that carrying them by hand becomes awkward. Maps, journals, lunch, laptop, a blown glass vial to
catch souls, or a spare set o underwear when things get hairy. ‘Quiver or Back Scabbard’ is is or those items carried in a bag or pouch directly on the top o your back. Arrows, crossbow bolts, or an RPG is a good fit or here and the ammunition chart later on can help keep track o the number o these you have lef. In terms o actual weaponry then swords, a crossbow, a bow, an assault rifle, or long rifle such as Barrett 82A1, ype 81 Storm Gun, or a Squad Support Plasma Gun would fit here. Weapons here, unlike depicted in the movies, take a moment to prepare. Any firearm you can easily grab off your back and fire immediately has a risk o going off while you scramble through hedgerows. ‘Kitbag or Large Sack’ is is or those items that you don’t need right away. A clean shirt or three, soap, toothbrush, phone charger, tinder box, zero-G meds, mechanics tools, ABC suit, or a tent and bed roll. ‘Suitcase or Chest’ is is or items that either require more packing, more protection, or more security. In such holdables you can place small or olded weaponry, jewels and coin, scrolls, a ragile vase, documents, or a larger number o mundane objects. ‘Weapon Crate or Armoire’ ‘Weapon Armoi re’ is a much larger item and usually takes two people (or perhaps one very agreeable roll) to carry. While these objects are specifically designed or carrying weapons (and a ew o them at that) they can be utilised or carrying almost anything at a push, up to the size o a body (or at least an undissected one).
Step Four: Luggage Space Within ransports Tese modes o transport more properly carry small holdables within bigger ones akin to Russian dolls (with the exception o Saddlebags). It’s easy to see why weapons crates fit on trucks and suitcases can fit in the trunk o a car. While it is quite possible to carry these items on your own or with another it should be obvious that you can’t fight while doing so and going or any sort o distance will cause pain, discomort and maybe physical damage. Obviously, not all o these will be applicable to your character or setting.

It is quite easible that all your previous items, including yoursel, can fit into the spaces held by transports and vehicles. ‘Companion’ means means your aithul dog with small pouches strapped to him or carrying war time messages or a small amount o tools. It could also be your manservant, a programmed robot or android, or another NPC companion. Regardless o what your companion is, they’ll have a ew items that you can easily get hold o when needed. ‘Pack or riding Animal’ signifies signifies horses, mules, tauntauns, tamed t-rex, or any other animal utilised or carrying large bags o cargo. Te containers will usually be saddlebags or lashed to the animal. Your GM can advise on what items are allowed and common sense is the phrase to live by. ry and transport a 12lb
cannon by mules and you’ll discover how stubborn mules can be. ‘Small Personal Vehicle’ means means everything rom motor/hover bike, grav harness, car, wooden cart, or
small boat. Some o these, like the bikes or example, will hold items in lots o small compartments and some will have a seperate area such as a trunk to hold luggage. 97
‘Large Personal Vehicle’ means means vehicles like trucks, a 50f boat, or a starship shuttle. It’s a step up rom a small car or cart and while it may only see a slight increase in size in comparison, it’s usually a vast increase in carrying capacity. At the lower end this vehicle might be an Allied truck or tank on the Normandy ront and at the other end could be a small stararing vessel ulfilling scout duties in the depths o space. Tey can be used or transporting people, or or trading goods over long distances. ‘Large Craf’ are are o a different order entirely. I your character is lucky enough to own a sea going mil-
lionaires yacht, a cargo a hovercraf, or ayour smallgear warship then thisisisor where youthings list it’sthat contents. Chances are you’ll havestarship, a personal cabin to stow but this entry listing the vessel can carry, such as personnel, or those interesting anti-shipping missiles you just happen to ‘aquire’.
Step Five: Home & Hearth Tese places are you normally keep yoursel. While cabins and large craf (such as canal boats) are treated in the previous step and are technically your home, this entry is more or your regular bricks and mortar dwelling. Depending on the era it can be a hovel, a cave, an apartment overlooking Hong Kong, and office, or a cabin on a starbase. Your home that doesn’t move is the best way to look at it. At this step it’s less about filling everything in and more about just listing what is most important to you.

‘Home’ is is the place where you eel saest. Tat could be your keep, your con-apt, or your country mansion. It is a place where the vast majority o the things you own will be stored. It will probably have many rooms and places that things can be hidden or stored. Good GMs know that this is where you’ll keep your valuables and where they are sae. It’s rare or GMs to place such items in harms way. Afer all, i your home is no longer sae, why have one at all? Te very best o adventurers have a reuge where they can eel sae and
gather themselves in readiness or the next storm. Tis box has been compartmentalised into rooms but need not be used in such a way. ‘Workplace or Office’ is is the place you spend your working day. It is a place that is still moderately sae rom intrusion. Police HQs are not stormed five times a week and any castle or outpost that aces weekly onslaught will either have been destroyed or will have become your home. Guards that patrol a ort undr constant attack rom Orcs will not be allowed to go adventuring. Tis place will contain your immediate belongings and will enable you to do your daily work. For an interstellar bounty hunter that might be a small base in an asteroid that has cells, comms, weapons locker, and a ship bay. For a mage that could be his spell room, or a pharmacist that could be his lab, and or a bard that could be the nearest tavern. ‘Hideoutt or Retreat’ is ‘Hideou is a place that is not common knowledge to many o your character’s aquaintances. It
could be a place to bolt to ihold the Militia come FBI sae a local cave oncebut blessed by the ertility goddess. It can less than the a-calling, other twoan places as it house, is ofenorseen as utilitarian it could equally be a basement game room at your office, a city centre apartment or when you work late, or your own room overlooking the waterall at the ‘Te ‘ Te Last Homely House West West o the t he Mountains’ Mountains’ . Rounding off the sections is an ammunition counter. Te boxes are deliberately lef empty as there is a variety o ammo ammo that can fill this space and and compartmentalising compartmentalising or illustrating illustrating them would would be utile. Tey are to be filled in with the ull ammo initially and scored down when it’s used. Not all o the ollowing sections will apply to your character but remember, you need to be properly equipped when you step out onto the road to adventure..
