[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 3495531, member: 19675"] (Semi-Victorian) [b]The Arboretum[/b] The PCs are invited to a sumptuous dinner at the home of world-reknown inventor, Jules G. Vernes-Wells, to be followed by news of his latest invention. He's seeking both investors and publicity. The meal features all kinds of exotic side-dishes with ingredients and spices from his greenhouse. After the meal, he leads them to his laboratory- located in his house's freestanding greenhouse- where he unveils...a Time Machine! Just as he starts his demonstration, a massive bolt of lightning strikes the greenhouse's lightning rod, overloading the Time Machine's field. When the smoke clears, Verne-Wells is unconscious and his machine's gauges burned out. At least its controls seem fine... But around the party's attendees, the windows of the greenhouse no longer look out on Verne-Wells' estate. Instead it looks out on a sunny, overgrown jungle- a veritable Garden of Eden. Venturing out, the party finds the garden inhabited by beautiful, gentle humans who speak in an unknown "cooing" tongue. That night, though, the dark side of Eden is revealed- in the wee hours, fierce, clawed humanoids well up from under the ground, taking with them some of the passive inhabitants of the garden...and Verne-Wells' unconscious form. Yet Eden has an even more sinister secret- the garden's bestial raiders are but thralls to an even greater evil... a race of octopus-headed, brain-eating overlords of the dark world beneath! The party attendees must not only attempt to rescue the unconscious inventors, they must also find a way back to the eve of their departure... But was it in the past or the future? And if they can't find the inventor? [/QUOTE]
