recruitment Black Blood

[Raveled]

I am looking for three to four science/history/mystic PCs to investigate a rash of murders in a small, North Dakota town. This sleepy burg has had its population double since the discovery of shale gas underneath the land, and this has created a lot of tension between the settled population and the itinerant workers; the newly-flush citizens and those who remain impoverished; the oil company's workers and a group of hardcore eco-activists; the sane and the mad; etc.

Would you hate me if I told you Terrifica was perfect for this?

[KnightDisciple]

Hm. Well, it's probably a long shot, but Cobalt Templar is a historian who knows at least a bit about magic.

And Gabriel's great at talking to people to root out clues, and has a decent bit of arcane knowledge.

 

I understand if they're either one a bit too high-PL for the adventure, though.

[Raveled]

That's fine, KD, but why are either of them in North Dakota?

[KnightDisciple]

That's fine, KD, but why are either of them in North Dakota?

Heh.

 

Well, CT could either be following some historical thing or another, or catch wind of shenanigans or some such on his way to the West Coast to see Quo-Dis.

 

As for Gabe, the only thing that comes to mind off-hand is either a motivational speaking engagement of some sort (Freedom League PR after the rather frightening events of the Incursion?), or some sort of negotiation or another (he's a pretty good diplomat!).

[Raveled]

Okay, we'll say a local eco-group wants to stop the drilling because it's harming an archological site, and they've hired Corbin Hughes to come out and back them up.

EP, any ideas for Teriffica?

[EternalPhoenix]

She's an obsessive investigator. She has the easiest in to any thread short of Foreshadow.

[Raveled]

Foreshadow would have an excellent reason to be there, in point of fact.

How does this sound: Teriffica is contacted by an Internet friend who wants her to come to North Dakota, to this little town, to take a look at the oil that they're digging up out of the ground. It's some really weird oil, and he wants a second opinion from a noted genius.

Dude. Mental Quickness 8. 500 times the amount of time to read, deduce, and think. Throw in a personality obsessed with solving mysteries. And INT 38. She's not omniscient, but she can seem like it some times. She looks into anything and everything. That's what I'm saying. The easiest in short of Foreshadow.

I am trying to give Teriffia a special, unique clue to bring to this investigation, but you want her out there all loosy-goosy...

[EternalPhoenix]

Oh, then forgive this tired soul. Let's go with what you've got, then. I haven't slept much in the past two days. Work, hurrah.

[KnightDisciple]

Oh, I like that angle, Rav. Corbin could be doing it as a sort of work study program (since he's technically still in college!). 

[horngeek]

...I'm... tempted with Stronghold.  I'm not entirely sure how to justify her for this, though.  

[Heritage]

Sorry to say I just saw this one; my phone doesn't always show stuff in the Welcome to Freedom section. Do you still need a third? Grim might be good for this, though we'd need to figure out a hook.

This is basically filled up, sorry.

No problem!
