Dark Summonings: The Uncivilised Guest

By Interactivites Ink, Ltd.

Players: 12

Genre: Occult adventure

Eunice and Barton Olmstead-Hewitt (of the New York Olmstead-Hewitts) are well known for their flashy and fancy dress balls. Invitations are coveted and rare. Eunice always makes certain that an interesting batch of people is invited and that the entertainment is second to none. Some of the guests this time include Eunice’s good friend Veronica Sellers, mild mannered Dr. Edgar Winston, Officer Patrick Mulhoney, and of course, the Adventurers.

Unbeknowst to Eunice and Barton, Veronica is a member of the OTU, a secret society dedicated to the study of the Occult. Veronica recently found a book in the Society library that contained a formula created by one Henry Jekyll. This book was part of the equipment stolen when the OTU split off from the Stella Mautautina, so there will be an insert saying “Ex Libris SM.” This formula gives one great strength and endurance, but the book indicated some unfortunate side effects. Veronica decided to create the formula and

test it on someone so incredibly mild-mannered that the effects would be dulled a bit.

Unfortunately, the ingredients were listed in the form of medieval riddles, riddles far too difficult for Veronica to solve herself. So she asked her good friend Eunice to allow her to host a scavenger hunt at her next party. Veronica decided that a small golden statue from the Society would make an excellent prize. Veronica also came up with 5 extra clues for the hunt to round the total things needed to ten (and to hide what the true ingredients for the formula really are). Once she gets the ingredients, Veronica will retire to her room to make the potion, and will then slip it into Dr. Winstons drink, but I’m getting ahead of myself.
