7: They'll Leave the Tractor Beam on For Ya!
Sat, 20 Jan 2024 20:30:27 +0000
Welcome to Sunderland, where everything is weird, but nobody seems to notice.
Our players enter combat for the first time, going up against two mysterious figures that have stepped out of the shadows. Forrest goes missing, Serena steals a portable mic, and gains more insight on the book she found at Keel’s Wheels, and Birdie has a dream that might spell doom for the entire town. (Oh, and Remy’s sorry for hitting Serena in the head and Serena is sorry for farting in her face)

Two of our players go from being skeptics to believers overnight. Remy finds that she has an inherent power to make the UFO in front of The Saucer Swirl glow.

Welcome to Sunderland, where everything is weird, but nobody seems to notice.
The players all seem to be convinced that nothing strange happens in the town of Sunderland, but perhaps at the end of this episode, they’ll be convinced otherwise. Serena Jade receives an eerie visitor in her dreams, while Remy Dean makes a career change. Birdie takes a trip to the lake where she meets a mysterious visitor in silver, and a ship that glows green.
