[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 9243468, member: 63"] I ran a Halloween one shot for a group of friends who'd never played Bloodborne. The PCs were father, stepmother, cruel uncle, witchy grandma, heroic brother, and creepy neighbor, and they rode for Yarnham to take the family's sick young daughter for treatment at the Church, where the girl's real mother (and the father's first wife) had gone to be a nun for mysterious reasons. The family made traditional wine on their vineyard, and hoped to trade it for the famed magical healing. The plot was 1. Come across a slaughtered group of travelers on the road, and face off against a single wolf. 2. Get into the city and see people boarding up houses, because tonight there was going to be a hunt for the pack of ravenous wolves that had made it into the city. 3. Hand over the girl to the church, where she'll receive treatment from her mother the nun. She needs to stay overnight to be purified. 4. Stay the night at the house of their merchant friend who would broker the wine deal. Except the guy has been partaking of the new blood, and when the moon rises he transforms and sets the house on fire, forcing the family to flee 5. From there, survive the city as it goes mad. Flee more werewolves, head for the hunters lodge, cross a bridge right as the blood moon begins and a bunch of weirdos in strange hats try to 'make contact,' get swept up in a nobles banquet at a 'safe' manor (where they realize everyone is a vampire or a victim), get rescued by a hunter, and then arm up for the final push into the old city to go rescue the little girl. 6. At the church, the nun mother is doing a rite to transform into the cleric beast, but first she reveals that she left here because the uncle threatened to kill her when she refused to sleep with him, and that she found poison in her daughter's blood. This kicks off a battle as the other acolytes try to kill the intruders, and the now monstrous mother tries to kill anyone who would take her daughter away from her. When I ran it, it ended with the family escaping, but they stranded the uncle behind, with the understanding that the whole city would go mad. The last image was the uncle finally bursting out of a cell in the cathedral basement, stepping outside, and looking up to see an eldritch horror clinging to the roof of the building, watching him with countless unblinking eyes.
