The Chosen one and Entourage

Style and Improvement

First among Equals: Sure, one of us is chosen by destiny, but we all play our part. At the end of each session, ask: “Did we all contribute in our own way to solve the mystery?”

Improvement marks: When you fill in the improvement box, clear the improvement track and choose one of these:

• Gain a new team move.

• Gain a new team ally.

• Gain two new asset selections.

• Make the next mystery about your team enemy, giving you a chance to interfere in their plans.

Improvement: 10/15

Enemies

Seth Vail, a billionaire who wants to harness the power of monsters, starting with immortality for himself.

The Father of Monsters, the cosmic entity who is the source of evil in the world.

Team Allies

Carlito, a nurse. They can patch up injured hunters.

Kayla, a farm girl Gain access to the McCain family farm and resources

Devon, the Jersey Devil Gain access to the Jersey Devil and Leeds House

Margaret, the Snoop A reporter

Team Moves

Ancient Visions: An ancient ritual, to be conducted regularly, gives the whole team access to some of the visions sent to the Chosen One. Once per mystery, each hunter may ask the Keeper a question about anything they want. The Keeper answers with a vision or dream: obscure and vague, but true.

Wyrd’s Favour: When you choose this team move, all hunters erase 1 spent Luck point. If you haven’t spent any Luck yet, add a new Luck box instead.

Assets

Headquarters A relatively secure space to use as a base. There’s room for all your monster hunting gear and books, maybe even space to sleep and a kitchen.

HQ is an outbuilding on McCain Farms. Set up like a little house.

Innocent Front: You have access to a regular business or institution. This means that your monster hunting hijinks can be concealed to an extent from your friends, family, and colleagues. For example: a cafe, a library, an antique store, etc.

The Mean Bean, a Whartonville coffee shop, is our hunters innocent front.

Regular Jobs: You have access to a place of employment for any of the hunters who need it. You earn enough to cover regular day-to-day expenses, and there’s time to fit in monster hunting around your hours.
