[QUOTE="kipling, post: 4822429, member: 14955"] Just short things that might be adventures for your group. Feel free to contribute your own. Presented as three parts: [B]HOOK:[/B] How the Justiciars get involved. [B]MYSTERY:[/B] How it appears on first investigation. [B]SECRET:[/B] What's really behind it. [B]HOOK:[/B] A writer has been kidnapped, and loved ones are concerned. [B]MYSTERY:[/B] How did he encounter the devil? Why would the devil take him? [B]SECRET:[/B] The devil took him away. Devil (in Catholic theology) is incapable of true creativity, so he copies from someone with creativity. Writer doesn't have a high opinion of himself, so he went [I]willingly[/I]. Otherwise, someone truly creative could be working for the devil. [B]HOOK:[/B] Several people are ill, from loss of blood. [B]MYSTERY:[/B] An encounter or two with vampir and thralls. But where is it hiding? He always looks freshly groomed--but vampirs can't cross running water...or can they? [B]SECRET:[/B] Vampir is in a cistern, filled with water. [B]HOOK:[/B] Tourist disappears on a cruise around the Greek islands. [B]MYSTERY:[/B] Where did he go? He was an art critic. Nearby construction dredged up a perfect statue of him. [B]SECRET:[/B] Gorgon has home on island, but some of the statues are actually golems. Insulted the host, was turned to stone, thrown into the sea, where he sank. (Would need a writeup of the Gorgon.) [B]HOOK:[/B] A priest defrauded of his church's money; Justiciars get involved because defrauded priest is (a) a friend, or (b) they're available or (c) one of them has former police experience. [B]MYSTERY:[/B] When they get to the con man's hiding spot, it is protected by undead pawns and gnats. [B]SECRET:[/B] Con man is actually a Rakshasa, and in fact everyone the Justiciars deal with from his group is actually the same one, changing shape. [/QUOTE]
