The Hook
Youve been chasing a demon-summoning manuscript across the country. Youve had it removed from the internet but it keeps cropping up. Now youre at a games fair in [wherever you are now], undercover as FBI/Police. The cover story for local law enforcement is that youre after some stolen art. The games fair is in a convention centre, a large building on several levels with a maze of corridors and rooms of different sizes. The main hall is filled with a trade fair catering to every gamers needs. The whole place is heaving with strange people in strange clothing. They seem to be talking your language but not in way you can understand.
Supplementary clues: Language (Ancient Babylonian) 1pt, you can understand the guy, hes calling down dire imprecations on you and your lineage Occult studies - 1 pt, this guy is possessed. Demons can be suppressed by appealing to the core of the possessed being, something they really care about. 2pts, even when suppressed shocks can cause the demon to regain ascendancy. Reassurance Spending a point of this will also get you the core clue as you realise that maybe talking about gaming will calm this guy down.
Supplementary clues: Occult studies 1pt, the occult paraphernalia point to a Babylonian summoning ritual, similar to those in the Simon Necronomicon (Schlangekraft, Inc., 1977). Typically its the kind of ritual used to help in war. Language (Ancient Babylonian) 0pt, (if you know ancient Babylonian), the scrolls are indeed Babylonian. 1pt, its difficult to make out the spell from the phonetics but its a summoning spell, used to call a demon to possess several soldiers at once so they can triumph over their enemies.
