BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE HAITI
Written By: Kevin Rohan
There are whispers, barely loud enough to be called
rumors, that something is wrong at the Port-au-
Prince Transfer Company. Trafficked people, drugs,
weapons, and contraband of all sorts are said to pass
through their wharf in Little Haiti. Illegal gambling,
unlicensed boxing, dog fighting, and more are said to
be controlled by the Transfer Company as well, and
the locals have either learned to live with it or get rich
from it.
There are some darker sides to organized crime in
the Haitian-controlled section of the City. Those that
hold to the old ways and harbor some horrifying
practices are said to give power and aid to those who
come to them. However, that power always comes at
a price. For some, it is steep.
YVES FELIX
One who didn’t think the price was too much was
Yves Felix, the head of the Port-au-Prince Transfer
Company. He is known to frequent the same places
as a Creole Voodoo priest known only as The Deacon.
Felix is known to be covered in ritual carvings much
like the Yakuza cover themselves in tattoos. This ritual
scarification is not only for artistic beauty and intimi-
dation. Rumor has it that he had one pound of flesh
cut off his body during the scarification -- a sacrifice
to The Deacon, who then granted Yves extraordinary
luck to enhance his business, political, and criminal
savvy.
It’s the rainy season in Wellstone City (as opposed
to the season of oppressive heat), and it’s been raining
for days. The storm sewers are backing up, forcing

the rats up and out. The rats around the main ship-
ping yard of the Port-au-Prince Transfer Company are
coming up and they’re...off. They’re covered in bites.
Some of them are bigger than they should be. Some
are missing fur over large patches of their bodies.
Some look like they have bones protruding through
their skin.
Yves Felix wants more power. He has again spoken
with The Deacon to get him even more, but The Dea-
con has particular demands and refuses to say what
his peculiar wishes are for. Yves, for his part, doesn’t
care what the strange old Creole is up to so long as
The Deacon’s Voodoo keeps working in his favor.
RAT CATCHERS
People are talking, but more people are trying to
keep it quiet. So far, Yves’ men have a lid on it, but
they are slipping, and they have more important
things to do than chase down rats. An enterprising
member of Yves’ group has conscripted the local
urchins, paying them $5 per rat tail that they bring to
him. This is only masking the symptoms of the prob-
lem and not addressing what is really going on.
GANGS AND VOODOO PRIESTS
Yves’ main problem is currently the very men he
works with. Some of them are contracting out some
of their work to large gang in the Creole Quarter
called the Nwa Sans. Meaning literally “Black Blood,”
the gang is the visible enforcement around the Port-
au-Prince Transfer Company. They are rumored to
utilize the services of another Priest called Le Garou.
There is no connection between The Deacon and Le
Garou, and neither of them are hostile (or could be
made hostile) toward each other.
Normally they stick to themselves, but today the
Nwa Sans have picked a fight with the wrong people;
today they picked on the Party. The gang members
stole something from them and immediately high-
tailed it to their hideout.
NWA SANS
If the Party decides to pursue the Nwa Sans, they
follow them back to a warehouse they are using for a
base/clearinghouse. This den is one of the places they
use as a holding area, and if they get anything differ-
ent, they are to call either Le Garou or their contact in
Yves’ organization immediately. Maybe they found
something interesting in the belonging that they lifted
from the Party; maybe someone else found an item of
interest and is phoning it in when the party gets there.
Either way, the Nwa Sans are the gateway to what is
going on. All members of the Nwa Sans use either the
Punk - Hustler or Punk - Fixer Archetypes.
P-A-P TRANSFER COMPANY
The phone call could have been to the Port-au-
Prince Transfer Company. If that’s the case, the Party
will be able to quickly put things together that some
of the dark whispers about what happens there could
be true. If they decide to hit the Transfer Company,
they have a main port of ingress at the company’s
main building. It appears to be normal at first glance
-- secretaries, offices, store rooms, and stuff like that --
but once they get in things get out of control quickly
and the party will find themselves in a big mess.
getting captured or killed. They do not fear death,
they worship it, but that does not mean they want to
leave this mortal world just yet.
SUPERNATURAL ELEMENTS
This whole adventure is dripping with the pos-
sibility for supernatural elements to be involved. It
could be a casual veneer of magic and mayhem, or the
characters could be plunged hip-deep into a darker
world that they had no idea existed. Maybe the “Black
Bloods” isn’t a clever nickname; perhaps there is an
initiation ritual which literally turns their blood to
ichor. Maybe the Voodoo priests are more powerful
than can be imagined as they tap into other-worldly
energies. Maybe there is a whole lot more going on at
the Port-au-Prince Transfer Authority, not only with
the people in charge there, but with the location itself.
Finally, what is the Deacon doing with that pound of
flesh, and what dark things are in motion while Le
Garou pulls his strings?
THE RATS
No matter what happens with the supernatural ele-
ments, do not forget about the rats. If you de-empha-
size the Voodoo, the rats in the sewers are still very
foul in appearance and have obviously been changed
by something. If not magic, then perhaps radiation,
experimentation, or something even more nefarious is
happening beneath Wellstone City.
Remember, in Wellstone City whatever happens,
happens.

Members of the Port-au-Prince Transfer Company

use either the Armed Security Guards or the standard
civilian Archetypes. Higher-ups that work there will
use corresponding Enforcer, Trigger, and Lackey
Gangster Archetypes. The compound will be alerted
to the Party’s presence if they are not extremely care-
ful, as security is tight and there are cameras every-
where.

VOODOO PRIESTS
If the Party encounters either The Deacon or Le
Garou, they have their work cut out for them. These
modern-day Voodoo priests have a lot of fear at
their discretion and have survived for many years by
knowing when to run. They will appear to the player
characters only when they feel they have the upper
hand or when they know they can slip away without
