[UA] BreakBeats

[Tim Bisaillon]

What does
The Ryahib
The Dark Stalker
A Carnal (or Two)
A Revnant
and a Major Artifact (Edison's Phonograph)
have in common?

I don't know but I threw them all in an adventure to see what I could make 
of it. Here's what I have so far...

One evening I was flipping through PoMoMa, I was listening to Trip Theory 
and then my eyes feel upon The Rahyab. At the exact same time as i was 
reading the description 1o1 (One oh One) Dreams was playing in the 
background. Now, I had something envisioned. A one off adventure, which 
deals with the Raves, Techno music and a Soundtrack to kill for.

A sort of American Graffiti but a more vile twisted version, with a touch of 
One night at McCool's.

I named the Adventure "BreakBeats" the background storyling deals with The 
Rayhab playing in an abandoned facory in the industrial zone of the city, a 
dark, grimy place. The characters are invited, giving inviations by the 
Rayhib. It's Saturday night, its a hot one in the city, and a warm wind 
blows through the area.

As the characters approached they could hear the dull thud of the electronic 
beat in the distance, beckoning like a siren's call. Then someone of in an 
alleyway, a scream some clanging... and as the characters investigate they 
see a Carnal.

And this is where the fun begins...

A violent sex crime happened here, not once but thrice in the past three 
years, around the exact same date. Now, a carnal haunts these grounds. And 
now the PC's are involved one way or the other.

After the battle the music plays onwards, beckoning the Players to join in 
with the crowd. But how could one go dancing after facing a carnal, why its 
the music. Some sort of enchanting power that beckons them.

Thus if that is not a factor a revnant appears, she is one of the victims of 
the sex crime. To plead for her afterlife. To say that they characters must 
go on and uncover the sinister secret of the rave.

This is where our Dark Stalker comes in, though this might change, He stalks 
young woman. A man who was jilted once by the woman he loved, she left him 
at the alter for his brother, which sent him spiralling over the edge and 
spawned his hatred for green eye, auburn haired women.

He has found his victim, and the PC's can take notice of an alluring man who 
leads a woman out of the club. This victim has been using the rave's to 
select and choose someone that suits his requirements.

Another factor I threw in is Edison's Phonograph. It's being delivered here 
and a transaction of sort is going on. This is a another backdrop of the 
story and might involved the players.

This is core of the plot, now it needs a little more work.
