About the adventure

An old professor invites you to his cabin for the evening but when you arrive something is...off. The professor isn't acting like his usual self. On top of that more strange details pop up that just aren't adding up to the usual. You'll have to gently interrogate the professor and find a way to snoop around his home if you want to find out what is going on here.

Alchemy makes it very easy to use the X card we'll review this before the session starts. All sessions will include a short break especially after more intense moments; players can also call for breaks whenever needed.
