[UA] Hollow History WWII Revisited

[James Knevitt]

Hey,

Just jotted some notes with regards to the Hollow History WWII thread a
while back, and was looking for some input before I torture my players with
the adventure. Feel free to offer ideas, plots, eventas and scathing
criticism.

(This is for my Delta Green/UA hybrid. Don't be afraid.)


---

An old friend of Jason Miller (the group's resident bibliomancer) a man
named Richard Stedman (also a bib.) contacts him for some help. Miller owes
a favor.

A book has been stolen from Stedman and he needs it back. The book was 1st
Ed. of "The Grasshopper Lies Heavy" - the first anomaly resulting from the
'Mannelhoff Effect' (the changing of history). Stedman does not know about
the Mannelhoff Effect or the true history pre-1960.

A German occultist known as Kurt Mueller stole the book from Stedman
(picking up two major charges in the process). Mueller has been seen around
with another German occult scumbag, a woman named Elsa König. A day after
Mueller secretly hands the book off to König, the Order of St. Cecil
liquidates him.

König formerly had links to the True Order of St Germain before they
splintered after 1/1/2000, but was recruited by a German 'social group'
known as Der Spinne ('The Spider').

Germans have been crawling out of the woodwork recently; a lot have been
going after artefacts or rituals and have been keeping the Order of St Cecil
and the Sleepers busy.

Investigation into Der Spinne reveals a multi-national organisation under
ODESSA. Those who are -really- in the know may link ODESSA to certain old
Nazis now living in South America.

Agroup of Nazi occult scumbags go after the group. These guys are Der Spinne
thugs, sent out to 'silence' the group.

After they fail, Elsa K poses as a helping hand for Stedman and kills him
rather messily (she is a pretty powerful fleshworker). She poses as Stedman
(using the major charge she got from getting the book from Mueller) and
attempts to kill Jason Miller (the group's bibliomancer).

At this point a completely non-related govt. organisation that has been
after the group for a while decides to wipe them out.  The amount of
magickal energy flying around (major charges, and all that) rings a few
bells with the Order of St Cecil team nearby and they join in. A four-way
battle with no-one really knowing what is going on.

Elsa K escapes in the ensuing free-for-all, but is noticed by watchers in
the Occult Underground. She is tracked by the group to Silverado, Arizona.
There she goes to a previously unknown set of crumbling buildings where she
meets with a cabal of Karotechia occultists. Here they plan to perform a
ritual (using the book) in order to weaken the Mannelhoff Effect. The group
heroically saves the day, wipes out the Karotechia scumbags, and finishes
off Elsa K.

That's when they realise that they're staning in the middle of what used to
be a Nazi death camp.

On American soil.
