Editor’s Note

Yes of course there’s a war on in Crow’s Foot. There’s always a war on in Crow’s Foot. But that’s not the only
thing happening in Duskwall on any given evening. This city of ours is enormous, big enough to house all kinds
of miscreants and scoundrels getting into much more amusing trouble than the Crows. Just because Mr. Harper
didn’t have enough space in his book for more than one such scenario doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go looking.
To that end, the Blades in the Dark official Discord community presents to you these Underground Maps &
Passkeys, a collection of windows into other goings on in scenic Duskwall. If you’re looking for a place to hit
the ground other than Crow’s Foot, an alternative starting situation as it were, take a look around. We hope you
find something you like, or better yet, the inspiration to create your own.

Content Warning
If you’re reading this, you’ve probably read Blades in the Dark and know the sort of content that comes with
it. But just in case, know that the following may contain themes of police brutality, racism, murder, and other
forms of violence. Some entries are certainly lighter (Ring Down Below) and others darker (Trouble in the Sheets),
but they all fundamentally take place in Duskwall and (mostly) use the rules of Blades in the Dark. Talk with your
group about what kinds of content you’re interested in seeing or not seeing your game, then use a starting sce-
nario that gets everyone excited.

THE

TANGLETOWN
HUSTLE
Written by Michael Elliott

This is a starting situation meant to be used instead of the War in Crow’s Foot. It is designed as a
helpful primer for folks who are new to the game, as well as a unique way to establish the character’s
crew and lair location. Introduce this score after character creation but before the players select and
create the crew.

The Setup
GM: Read this section aloud to the other players.

Mardin Gull, the proprietor of the Leaky Bucket public house, was once the leader of the
Crows gang. Now in his waning years he seeks to right the wrongs he’s done, and he’s asked
you all to help him. He’s willing to give you all a shot, and provide a few dark secrets to get
you started, but first he needs you to prove you’ve got the salt to make it in Crow’s Foot. He
wants to see if you can make your own secret hideout in Tangletown.
Tangletown is a flotilla of boats lashed together around a massive leviathan hunter ship that
partially sank in the river outside Crow’s Foot. The gangs of Crow’s Foot consider this place
neutral ground, and all violence is strictly forbidden. It’s the perfect spot to overhear secrets,
hide illicit cargo, or lay low between scores.

Tangletown
The player characters know everything about Tangletown that was mentioned in the setup, feel free
to use the following details to illustrate the setting as you play, or to use as answers to questions
when the players gather information before or during the score.
• There’s a bar in the captain’s quarters of the leviathan hunter named Absent Without Leave.
• Lizete’s eel and chips boat comes to Tangletown once a day and always does a lot of business.
• Parts of Tangletown often leak or sink, so locals regularly collect old boats to repair it.
• Local fishers and eelers sell their catches here.
• Locals avoid the old leviathan hunter ship’s engine room.
• A few areas of the flotilla are protected from ghosts with spiritbane charms.

 RING DOWN
BELOW Written by Eli Kurtz

In pubs and gambling houses all over the city, there are rumors about a “Ring
Down Below.” They say the Ring is responsible for thunder in clear skies, and
controls the fates of all daredevils. Some call it a cult; some call it a demon.

Few know the truth: the Ring Down Below is a secret, thriving tournament
of daring scoundrels who race cigar-style sparkcraft skiffs around the rivers
and canals of this benighted city. Most skiffs have room for multiple onboard
crew, and all have illegal modifications to give them an edge. Sympathizers
and harassers with skin in the game line every course.

It’s a world of fast boats, furious drivers, and deadly watercourses. You and
your crew wouldn’t have it any other way!

The Race
Which course shall be your arena? What’s the prize this time? Which part of the course is
most challenging?
• Dash Around the Docks: Navigate the canals, docks, and moored ships of the Docks
area! Watch out for Ministry of Preservation enforcers guarding the Leviathan Hunter
ships!
• Chasing Silky Drawers: A few of the more ambitious brothels in Silkshore host a race
to drive up business. Watch out for Bluecoat speed traps!
• Misty Towers: Race among the crumbling manors of Six Towers! Watch out for the
subterranean shortcut through Dimmer Sisters territory! They hate visitors.
• Spirit Well Special: Every year, a few Gondoliers quietly host a sewer race that runs
past several active spirit wells. Watch out for pockets of the unquiet dead!
• Void Sea Rally: Leave the safety of the lightning wall for a race along the Void Sea
coast! Watch out for horrid creatures from the depths of the sea!
 Allies and Rivals
All races have at least six skiffs competing for the prize. Pick one to be your ally
and one to be your rival.
• Azarax: Secretly funded by the Ministry of Preservation. Their craft is said
to be powered by a sea-storm demon.
• The Bottom Feeders: Coalridge miners piloting a scrappy but sturdy hulk
of a skiff with the help of some Docker friends.
• The Devilfish: An aggressive skiff piloted by the Grinders, with a beastly
hull covered in jagged spikes to attack other skiffs.
• The Electrick EEK: A mystery of electroplasmic engineering piloted by
Docker union sympathizers. Full of gadgets and gambits.
• Silkwater Sal: Sleek, subtle, and piloted by a crew of sex workers out of
Silkshore. They’ve planted mines along the race route.

Illegal Modifications
Pick one for your skiff and one each for your ally and rival. What does this tech
look like? How is it activated?
• Amphibiboost: Blast onto and over land for a short time!
• Electro-Field: Cover your hull in electroplasmic energy to ward off would-
be attackers!
• Fireworks Cannon: Distract, blind, or burn with sparking electroplasmic
rockets!
• Ghost Fog: Release a mist of angry spirits behind you!
• Ghost Keypacitor: Shock a ghost key to shift into the ghost field for one
thrilling second!
• Grappling Hook: Latch onto opponents or slingshot around corners!
• Hull Pilot: Allows for hands-free racing, but beware: it has a literal mind
of its own!
• Locomotive Engine: Frankly it’s amazing your boat doesn’t buckle under
the weight of this powerhouse!
• Oilslick Surprise: Rear compartment that sprays flammable Leviathan
blood behind you.
• Secret Hold: What nefarious tricks have you hidden within?
 Mutiny!
by Sam Dunnewold

Leviathan hunting is dark at the best of times. The skies above, the void sea below,
the food you eat, and the humor of those beside you while you eat it. Dark.

Lately, something has been too much even for a crew as hardened as this one. The
captain has done nothing about it. If you believe the whispers between crewmates,
the captain is the cause. Things are untenable. You will lead a change.

This is Mutiny.
The PCs are crew members on a leviathan hunting ship who’ve decided to mutiny. Ask the
players some of these questions while you create characters for the crew:

◊ What are your jobs on the ship?

◊ If anyone reports to you, who is one such person? Otherwise, who do you report to?

Each player, describe a detail about the ship related to your job. Here are some adjectives that
might apply to your ship:
foul, sleek, illustrious, gargantuan, weary, cantankerous, insatiable

Pick a captain:
Captain Ankhayat, Iruvia’s oldest leviathan hunter, as charming as she is ruthless.
What tall and terrible tales have you heard about her past?

Lady Penderyn, a scholar of the demonic, back at the helm after two decades away.
Why do they say she’s returned -- what are the official story and the rumored one?

Captain Bowmore, scion of Lord Bowmore, far too cocky for their first leviathan hunt.
What “improvements” have they made around the ship since taking over for their father?
 Why have you decided to mutiny?
Choose one of the following (or come up with a reason of your own):

Because something
has possessed the
Because it’ll be the

Because this job figuratively?), and if

mind?
about your own
skin?

...or do several members of your crew have different ideas? After the
deed is done, will you argue?
 Planning
Pick a plan and get to it. Will you assassinate
the captain when they are most vulnerable
(stealth)? Will you first rally the crew to
your side (social)? Will you entreat a being
greater than yourselves for assistance
(occult)? Or will you devise another plan?
Regardless of your plan, what special
preparations or protections has the captain
put in place to ensure your failure?
Obstacles / complications:
◊ Loyalists have caught wind of your plans.
Which of your friends or rivals is leading
them? What are you afraid they’ll do to
stop you?
◊ A leviathan is sighted and attacks! Will you
put the mutiny on hold to ensure a successful
harvest? Or is this exactly the moment you
were hoping to take advantage of?
◊ The ship’s demonic heart does not take
well to new attempts to command it; the
boat itself is against you. What could you
possibly offer it to persuade it to your side?

After the Score

◊ If you succeed, what comes next?

◊ How does the crew of the ship take to your leadership?

◊ What will you do with the cargo of a leviathan tanker?

◊ Will you hunt down your sister ship, The Desdemona, and rally her
crew to your cause?

Regardless, follow the steps for crew creation if you haven’t already. Maybe you’re
Hawkers selling crude leviathan blood. Maybe you’re Bravos, ex-leviathan hunters
trying to unionize other leviathan hunter crews. Maybe you’re a Cult to the last
leviathan you hunted...
An Uncertain Future
A Setting and Scenario for Academic Scores
By Justin Ford

As dawn grows near, a messenger raps

upon your door. In their hand they bear
a letter, unaddressed, with the charred
leaf of Charterhall marking it as an
official parcel of the University.

A transcript follows.

You are invited!

Charterhall University would like to officially invite you and one guest of your choosing to join
us for our annual scientific fair and masquerade ball, An Uncertain Future, as part of our
ongoing exhibition of alchemical, electroplasmic, and occult technologies. This year's events
are certain to astound your eyes and shock your senses as we celebrate the culmination of
Professor Una C. Faros’ extended tenure. Join us as we unveil one last contribution from
Charterhall’s fading star, the astonishingly clever Para-Electric Phantom Generator!

Should you accept this invitation, simply arrive in costume on the night of the seventh moon
and present this ticket to a concierge at our exhibition hall where we shall treat you to a lavish
evening of entertainment and intellectual stimulation. Enjoy these events completely free of
charge!

Included in this letter is a schedule of special events catered exclusively for the fair. We have
the honor of hosting a number of special guests hailing from across the Empire. If you consider
yourself, truly, to be a student of science, cancel your appointments and block out your day.
You won’t want to miss a single stimulating moment of this year’s event.

-Yours in spirit,

Lenia Kinclaith
Dean of Charterhall University.
A SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
The 6th Hour of Dawn: The fair opens to the public. A selection of merchants
and entertainers welcome guests onto the university grounds. The Exhibition
Hall is open to the general public at this time.
The 7th Hour of Dawn: Our professors and their students present their
inventions in this year's scientific expo. There are many talented newcomers
within our ranks, eager to shock and delight you with their knowledge of the
electroplasmic arts. Dean’s Note: Those seeking to recruit from amongst our
student body would do well to stay away. Our security forces have been instructed to
be on the lookout for any dishonorable behavior by our entrants and competitors.
The 8th Hour of Dawn: The popular Tycherosi author and philosopher, Vora
of the Five Pillars reads a passage from her treatise, Six Sacred Sins, on the
transience of life and the coming of a new imperial dawn.
The 9th Hour of Dawn: The Skovlan industrial mogul, Baron Sundr Vök of
Blackvale, has generously agreed to donate several of his fleet’s sparkcraft
racers to Charterhall to be pitted against one another in our inaugural
mechanized racing circuit. Dean’s Note: We ask that families with young
children keep well clear of the track for the safety of both our pilots and our audience.
The 10th Hour of Dawn: The amazing Rakif Asura of U’Duasha takes to our
main stage with a demonstration of his mystifying magical arts. Can you spot
the trick? Rakif will show you how it’s done.
The 11th Hour of Dawn: Our Charterhall Spirit Squad treats the entire district to
a patriotic number as graduating members of the Jayan Hall of Alchemy display
their skills. This extravaganza of art and fire will not soon be forgotten.
The 12th Hour of Dawn: Our annual costumed ball, An Uncertain Future,
opens to specially selected guests. For the general public, attend the entrance
of our Exhibition Hall and feast upon the lavish costumery of this year's
attendees. A prize raffle will take place for those of you who can spot our
guest of honor, Professor Una C. Faros, amongst the crowd.
ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITIES
Stealth & Espionage

1. A Charterhall faculty member seeks out the crew in confidence and asks
them to sabotage a student’s entry in the scientific expo. “The student shall
not outshine the master. That is my rule.”
2. Professor Una C. Faros would like the crew to steal the blueprints to her
own invention. “Upon my retirement, the dean would claim my life’s work
for the university. This cannot come to pass.”
3. A wealthy entrant in the expo’s amateur inventor contest asks the crew to
sneak in and enhance his invention with illegal technology. “Each device is
kept under lock and key by the dean, post-inspection. I need you to circumvent her
security measures and obfuscate the evidence.”
4. As part of the larger fair, the university is planning to host a collection of
rare gems stolen from archeological sites throughout the empire. The
Dagger Isle Consulate would like one artifact, in particular, returned to
them. “Recover the Eye of Kotor and we will reward you with riches in kind.”
5. A disgraced student of Charterhall University requests the crew's help in
infiltrating the masquerade ball. “Once inside, I plan on winning this year’s
costume contest by any means necessary. Will you be the instrument of my
revenge?”
6. Rolan Volaris would like your help in fixing the fair’s sparkcraft races.
“This year’s star pilot refused me ever so rudely. Replace him, put on a good show,
and make sure the Nightmarket’s driver wins the race. Your own winnings will be
drawn from the proceeds.”
ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITIES (Cont.)
Murder & Scandal

1. Charterhall’s dean puts out a request for assassins under a pseudonym. “I

require the discreet employment of your services to deal with an unfortunate
lapse in judgement.”
2. The dean of Severos’ Irondale Academy would like the crew to infiltrate
the masquerade and assassinate the Morlan Hall Howlers. “Charterhall
believes victory on the field will embarrass us. Show them that we do not intend
to play their petty imperial games.”
3. Mirga Uthul, the University’s Master at Arms, would like to hire shadows
to test, subvert, and embarrass the fair’s automated security features.
“Dash the dean’s efforts to replace my personnel with her devilish inventions and
I will reward you with a share of my own lucrative contract.”
4. The Crowsfoot Scavenger has secured a ballroom pass for the first time
this year and they’d like to pay anyone who can successfully punch up the
event for their audience. “Our readers love a bloody story. Give us sex. Give us
murder. We’ll give you the respect of Crowsfoot.”
5. The wife of a city councilmember believes her husband plans to attend
the ball with his mistress and would like the crew to gather proof of his
affair. “Don’t lie to me, for I will know if you have led me false. I pay only for the
truth.”
6. The Tycherosi Embassy seeks the crew's aid in hunting down an assassin
from their home country. Their target, Vora of the Five Pillars. “There are
those in our land who fear that Vora shares too much. Protect her and put an end
to this agent of chaos but know that they will be well hidden.”
ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITIES (Cont.)
Supernatural & The Occult

1. The Reconciled seek the crew’s aid in dealing with a frightening new
hull. “An ingenious invention capable of sniffing out spirits is set to be unveiled at
this year's fair. We need you to convince the city’s government that the Ghost
Hound Mk 1 is, in fact, a useless failure.”
2. A Spirit Warden Compliance Officer believes Charterhall is engaged in a
massive coverup of illegal occult research and would like the crew to
conduct a clandestine investigation. “If you are caught, I will deny
everything. Do not fail me.”
3. Famed inventor, Eva Lornheart, would like the crew to release several
ghosts into the Exhibition Hall so that she might demonstrate her
newest invention. “Make my Ghost Hound prototype appear indispensable and
you may keep it for your own purposes!”
4. Ego, an eccentric ghost, has challenged all the shadows of Duskvol to
discover his identity over the course of the costumed ball. “Guess correctly
and I will bestow upon you the last of my worldly wealth. Guess incorrectly and …
well, you’ll see!”
5. A colony of intelligent rats approach the crew with an odd request. “A
number of our brethren will be on display at this year's ball. Free them and we
will open many doors for you and your family.”
6. A shadowy figure approaches your crew, invitation in hand. “Professor
Faros’ invention will bring disaster upon the Empire. You must destroy it before it
can be activated. Any less will spell our doom.”
CHARTERHALL SECURITY
The dean has spared no expense in contracting security for this year’s events.
As the GM, choose one or more of the following:
The Morlan Hall Howlers: The University’s renowned roofball team has
volunteered to sign autographs and shake hands with guests. Their members
are nosy, ambitious, and not afraid to pry into others’ business. (Tier 1 Elite
Thugs).
The Imperial Press: An Uncertain Future is host to controversial figures both
foreign and domestic. As such it is crawling with curious journalists and
members of the press. Scoundrels attending the masquerade are likely to be
followed, interrogated, or even captured on plasmograph film. (Tier 2 Adepts).
Spy Wires: By monitoring electroplasmic interruptions within live wires,
operators in the exhibition’s security booth may perceive intruders and
saboteurs remotely, potentially delivering jolts of electricity to specially
prepared tiles on the exhibition floor. (Quality 3 Security Network).
Campus Security: Charterhall University’s dean overseas a modest contingent of
security personnel. During the fair, these private forces have their hands full with
theft prevention and organizational duties. To compensate their numbers are
supplemented with as many off duty Blue Coat officers as the school can afford.
(Tier 2 Thugs). Led by Mirga Uthul, the school’s Master at Arms, (Tier 3 Elite
Soldier).
Spirit Warden Compliance Officers: A large public fair dealing in untested
sparkcraft technology is, potentially, a major security risk for the city. Several
compliance officers have been assigned by the Spirit Wardens to assess these
risks. (Tier 3 Elite Adepts).
Personal Security Hulls (Luxury Model): A new, more elegant design is planned to
debut at this year’s ball. More human than most, the Sparkwright’s claim it’s
capabilities include rudimentary banter, “pest control,” and various styles of dance.
(Tier 4 Constructs).
 The Sparking

Sparkcraft Opportunities

Stealth & Espionage

1. A weary Regulator of City Law- Emeline Coleburn seeks the crew in confidence and asks that they inspect the
generators and turbines in the Sparking Grounds. “Are they truly generating power for the city? Have they fallen
into disarray and whom can I pressure into keeping this info quiet?”
2. Professor Una C. Faros would like the crew to recover the ParGen-Hollocl0ne so that she may continue Dr.
Cayson’s greatest work. “Such a shame he passed on so suddenly. We cannot allow such sorrows to cloud our
judgements, however, and his work must be continued!”
3. A student in the ranks of Spectrology asks the crew to sneak in and enhance the output of the Ground
generators with illegal technology as part of their thesis. “Each device is perfectly calibrated for each engine, just
attach per the schematics and flip the switch! The city will be begging me for the rights soon afterwards which might
help my currently subpar grade.”
4. As part of the yearly survey the Sparkwrights verify power output down to the nano-drop. The Ministry of
Preservation would like to verify that these submitted figures are correct. “Recover the Real Figures and we will
reward you with coin in kind.”
5. A disgraced sparkflyer of the Spark Grounds requests the crew’s help in infiltrating the upcoming pyrotechnic
display. “Once inside, I plan on performing my death-defying stunt. Will you be the instrument of my revenge?”
6. Belle Brogan would like your help in temporarily turning off power in Coalridge. “The factory owners refuse
to provide proper safety measures. We must unionize and show the city that we deserve fair and safe working
environments!”

Murder & Scandal

1. The Sparkwright Head of Operations in Silkshore requests the crew’s aid under an alias. “I require assistance
in ensuring the Spark Flyers never fail to sign our contract, so make sure the blackmail is juicy.”
2. The Sparkwrights would like the crew to infiltrate the facilities at the Grounds and assassinate Hull generator
#17. “We believe that this engine has received information regarding our endeavors to uncover alternative fuel
sources. It must be silenced before the other machines realize our intentions and retaliate against our researchers.”
3. Irma Klave, the Chief of Security on the Grounds, would like to hire shadows to find the real reason the
Ground’s Head of Operations recently purchased automated security features.* “Don’t trust machines to a
soldier’s job! They cut our budget for this- let’s show them the error of their ways.”
4. The Ink Rakes have secured a weather balloon pass for the first time this year and they’d like to pay anyone
who can successfully punch up the event for their reading audience. “Our readers love a riveting story. Paint the
city skyline. Show us the bird’s eye on a murder. Give us dangerous weather! We’ll give you the adoring respect of
Doskvol.”
5. Lady Slane of the Ministry of Preservation believes someone is using the Sparking Grounds to dump and filter
dangerous pollutants. Find evidence of who is doing this and she will pay you well. “The last several harvests
gathered by the Ministry of Darkbloom have proven completely inedible. With testing we have discovered a slew of

6. One of the city’s most eligible bachelors, Theodore ‘The Flying Sweetheart” Hansel, seeks the crew’s aid in
hunting down the assassin responsible for murdering his mistress and flying partner. “How can I give drama

Supernatural & The Occult
1. The Reconciled seek the crew’s aid in dealing with a murderously driven hull. “An ingenious hull known for its
ability to consume spirits and cannibalize other machinery. Please, Convince Slopspatter to come home for her
regular adjustments.”*
2. A Spirit Warden Compliance Officer believes The Silkshore Sparkwrights are covering up parts of the Spark
Grounds. He asks the crew to conduct a clandestine investigation. “The city has the sanitized blueprints on file,
yet we found some occult ones that have yet to match anything we have. Discover if there is more to the Grounds
than we realize. If you get caught may the Lady weep for your soul.”
3. Famed thief, Pebbler, is heralded with stealing the Emerald Well from the Church. Rumors have it laying
within the massive complex and field that is the Sparking Grounds. “Strange things happen around the gem. This
depthless gem is a chilly pinhole between the ghost field and material, disasters are bound to happen.”
4. Gi Aniru Ga of Sultha, has approached the crew for aid in opening a portal with the help of the massive
power generators in an effort to summon the Gaping Maw. “Through the refined power of elder demons we
summon thee. Feast thine gluttony on the unholy! ”
5. A radiant spoor filled shroom approaches the crew with an odd request. “I can no longer sense the root
tunnels I have sown throughout the city, reroute some of the new sparkcraft power pylons and you will forever be
fed of my children.”
6. A ghostly figure approaches your crew, invitation drawn on the walls. “Dr. Immael Cayson’s invention will
bring disaster upon the Empire. You must destroy the ParGen-Hollocl0ne before it can be activated. Any less will
spell our doom.”

* The Slopspatter is listed in the Heist Deck- it fears destruction and will do all in it’s power to stay alive. Gaining
knowledge through killing prey with its body or possessing nearby machinery. A Gondola prow serves as its
shoulder guards and helm, and it has strange banded armor made of water-logged wood over intricate mechanical
parts.

 Silkshore Sparking
Grounds Security
The Sparking Grounds house the massive turbines and generators responsible for maintaining power through the city,

grounds. As the GM, choose one or more of the following to highlight in each score.

1. Sparking Locks: The Grounds are protected by various portals and defenses, including combination locks or
riddles. Lockpicks will not work against them, though finesse may eventually solve them while alarms sound to
deter prowlers. (Quality 1 Elite Constructs).
2. The Voidal Press: The Imperial Military and Sparkwrights use the newest technology and even empire secrets to run
the Sparking Grounds. Many have been curious as to what is housed in the massive and protected buildings, going
as far as to interview those leaving, recording them on wax etches and echo detective haunting. (Tier 2 Adepts).
3. Panopticon: Special crystal lenses transmit their sight through the Ghost Field to mirrors in a central location. From one
place a guardian can monitor views all over the defended site. (Quality 3 Security Network).

them. The glowing walls are transparent but crippling to touch and lethal to pass through for person or spirit alike.
(Quality 3 Security Network).
6. Personal Security Hulls (Sparkwright Model): A new, more robust security measure. Commissioned by the Head
of Operations himself to help reduce overall operation costs. Flamethrowers, insulated armor and many new ‘in

Sister Escape
A score by Joms Catipay

Arvin Rowan wants to be reunited with his love, Alta. He hires the crew to break her out
of a convent of the Church of Ecstasy. With his family riches he can match any price the
crew may ask. What Arvin failed to tell the crew is that the girl they are trying to break out
of the convent is actually her twin sister, Alice, currently possessed by Alta and fighting for
control over her.

The Backstory
Alta and Arvin were lovers back when Alta was still alive. An accident involving Alice, Alta,
and Arvin resulted in Alta losing her body. Alta’s spirit was saved by Arvin and was forced
into a guilty Alice, who felt at the time that she was responsible for Alta losing her body.
What are the details of this accident? Was it the result of Alive interfering with one of Arvin’s
experiments?
Arvin intended from the start to give Alice’s body to Alta, and began researching how to do
it. Alice, with her limited knowledge of the situation and filled with regret, decided to enter
the convent of the Church of Ecstasy to volunteer to be cleansed into a hollow.
ww
The People
Arvin Rowan
A noble and novice adept, who wants to be
reunited with his lover Alta. Getting her and
Alice out of the convent is just the start. He
has a copy of a cleansing ritual that he plans
to use to remove Alice’s soul from her body,
leaving Alta alive. Where did Arvin get this
ritual? What other consequences will it have?
Alta
A ghost possessing her twin sister, Alice,
fighting for control of Alice’s body. Prone
to rash actions, as the longer she’s a spirit,
the more her mental state deteriorates. She
wants to reunite with Arvin before losing
herself fully.
The Convent
Prayer Hall
A connected building that is always open to
the public. Lay people of the church come
here to worship and perform rituals. The sis-
ters of the convent come to facilitate these
rituals. What services do the sisters provide
to the lay people? How do the sisters treat
non-believers?
Inner Courtyard
An inner courtyard serves as a hub connect-
ing all the other areas of the convent. Even
though it is open by a skylight, a magical
barrier serves as added protection against
trespassers. How does the barrier hurt ghosts
who pass through? How does it affect regular
people?
Alice
Alta’s sister, fighting for control of her own
body. Alice willingly entered the convent in
hopes of “cleansing” herself and becoming a
hollow, knowing well that it will also remove
her soul. She believes this is a better option
than giving up her soul to Arvin, and she
does not wish to be captured.
Mother Erma
Head Mother of the convent. She protects
both sisters from danger. She can attune to
hollow servants, which allows her to sense
through them and give them commands.
How can one tell which hollows are currently
controlled by Mother Erma?
Hollows
The convent has hollow servants that per-
form mundane tasks for the sisters. These
hollows have marks on their foreheads to
signify that Mother Erma can attune to their
senses. What tasks are they not allowed to do?
How will the hollows react to intruders?
Library
The convent has an extensive collection of re-
search books related to hollows and cleans-
ing rituals. A hull acts as part archiver part
library helper (similar to a search engine).
What other information could the books here
contain? What does the Hull look like and
how does it respond to strangers?

STRANGER SPECIAL ABILITIES
AUDACITY
In addition to any other effects you can push yourself to do one of the following:
immediately gain the attention of all who see or hear you—behave strangely such that others ignore
you or are otherwise repelled.
This ability helps you to manage the attention you are certain to receive.

CREEP
You may appear at an ally’s side at any time without the need to engage a flashback or
otherwise justify your arrival.
Generally speaking, it’s good etiquette to ask the player or GM before “tagging along.”

CHATTERKIN
Given adequate time and resources you may collect the bones of dead things and
assemble them into familiars of cloth and cotton wool. Consider this creature an expert
with a single trait and flaw. Also choose one ghostly ability: pale imitation—terrifying
transformation—animate dolls. What is its name?
With the proper expertise it is possible to upgrade your familiar with a long term project or ritual.
Note that crafting and assembling a Chatterkin requires time but you needn’t spend a downtime
activity to do so.

DESPERATE BARGAIN
After an action roll, you may engage the GM in a devil’s bargain to upgrade it by one
tier. Know that the penalty will be unusually harsh or stifling. On whom do you call?
You may perform this special devil’s bargain even if you made one prior to the roll. Use this to
upgrade a failure to a mixed success, or a success to a critical result but beware: the cost will
exceed whatever consequences were promised.

GHASTLY
Alas, you have no soul. On the upside, your sorry state renders you completely invisible
to most supernatural entities, spells, and wards. Oddly, there doesn’t seem to be a
downside.
Vampires, demons, and other supernatural creatures possessing material bodies may be less
affected. To spirits, spells, and arcane constructs it is as if you didn’t exist at all.

OBLIVIOUS
You may expend your special armor to resist a social consequence (persuasion, shame,
authority, etc.) or to push yourself in an odd display.
If you would resist a consequence of the appropriate type, tick the special armor box on your
playbook sheet and avoid it completely. Note that odd displays have a tendency to draw
attention, so be prepared to receive it.
STRANGER SPECIAL ABILITIES (Cont.)
GHOST SPINNER
You’ve mastered the techniques necessary to weave ghosts into cloth. When you invent
or craft a creation with ghostly features, take +1 result level to your roll. You begin
with one ethereal design already known.
You may employ these techniques to create mundane clothes or to craft garments with
supernatural properties (so long as you have a willing or captured spirit to use). Work with the
GM to determine how long it will take and what it will require.
Example curios: A burial shroud that causes the wearer to enter a death-like state — a hat or
cap capable of containing a single ghost as securely as any spirit bottle—a neck scarf or kerchief
capable of rendering a small object utterly invisible.

RAVEN’S VOICE
You may repeat a short sound, sentence, or phrase you’ve heard with flawless tone and
pitch. What’s more, your voice retains the mystical, emotional, and authoritative power
of the sounds you copy. After expressing this power you will become mute for a time, so
choose your words carefully.
You might use this ability to mimic the voice of a Bluecoat captain, to cast a spell you’ve heard,
or to order guards to leave a room. Unless otherwise established, your voice will return at the
end of the current scene.

STRANGER ITEMS

are for stabbing. [1-load]
◦ Fine nightmares: Do they belong to you or someone else? A source of terror as well as
inspiration. [0-load]

TROUBLE IN THE SHEETS
by Tom Mecredy
Your crew becomes embroiled in the bitter rivalries tearing the Charhollow district in two.
Kellen’s Tavern, one of the oldest in the city, has burned down. When the Sallies started raking through the
ashes, they found the blackened body of the proprietor, trussed up like a Unison Day ham.
The Bluecoats immediately pinned the crime on Corben, a ex-military Skovlander who’s battle-scarred
mug already adorned wanted posters across the district. What else has Corben done? Others were quick
to point out that Kellen’s had become a focal point of anti-Skovlander bigotry, and it was only a matter of
time before the violence escalated.
A pall hangs over Charhollow’s once-lively streets. Armed gangs of Skovlanders lurk on street corners,
occasionally clashing with Bluecoat patrols combing the district for the fugitive. The whole district holds
its breath, waiting for the violence to escalate once more. Where will the arsonists strike next? We’ll play
to find out!

Opening Scene
After they make characters and the crew, tell them this:

You’re in the basement of the Skovlan Consulate. The walls are badly whitewashed with patches of
mould creeping up towards the vaulted ceiling. Foul-smelling candles gutter in their rusted holders,
bathing the room in dirty yellow light.
A well-dressed Skovlan woman leans against one wall, eyeing you up like a vulture circling over a kill.
Sat in a battered wooden chair is a man you recognise from the wanted posters - Corben himself. He
wants you to find the bastard who burned down the pub and clear his name (of this crime, at least).
Are you here to help out of the kindness of your heart, or is there an ulterior motive?
Are you actually here to kill him for one of his many rivals? If so, do a flashback and pick a plan for
the assassination.

Play Corben. He’s a bit rough around the edges, but pretty articulate for a former squaddie. He’s been on
the run for weeks, and has a compelling alibi for the night of the attack. What is his alibi? While anxious
to clear his name for this business, he’s unwilling to be drawn on his previous misdeeds. What’s he holding
back?
The Skovlan woman says (in not so many words) that Corben has the backing of the Consulate, and is
prepared to pay for any information that exonerates him. If the PCs are willing to help, Corben has a few
places they can start looking.
If the PCs are against them, the Skovs say that they better forget that this meeting ever happened, and if
anyone talks, they’ll end up in the bottom of the canal.
Other Scenes
Corben’s information leads the crew deep into the Sheets, a neighbourhood populated by washers, tailors
and seamstresses, evident from the taut washing-lines hanging over the narrow alleyways.
Corben’s contact is the notorious anarchist, Hutton. He’s one of the few honest men in the Dusk, desperate
to deflect attention away from Charhollow and his organization. He believes Lord Strangford’s Leviathan
Hunters burnt down the pub to stoke anti-Skovish feeling, but he can’t prove it.
If the PCs hang around Charhollow long enough, they’ll soon attract the attention of Yannick Allbone,
a local Ink Rake. They’re in the process of writing a character assassination of Lord Strangford, and need
more dirt to spread across the front page. They’ll pay handsomely for anything that implicates Strangford.
Also watching from the sidelines are the Lost. These vigilantes have crossed over from Dunslough to help
protect the Skovish citizens, directing their considerable talents for violence against the anti-Skovish gangs.
The gang’s small size means they’re stretched thin, so they’re on the lookout for ways to bolster their ranks.
How can the PCs use their strengths to profit from this situation? Ask them how they want to gather infor-
mation, which leads to a plan (or vice versa).
Don’t beat around the bush. Give them straightforward courses of action to pursue at first. “Do you want
to break into the Charhollow precinct and have a gander at their files? They’re probably stretched too thin
to mount a round-the-clock watch right now.”
There’s a couple of starter scores presented below. Offer either of those, or one of the other options, and ask
them which they want to go after. Ask them to pick a plan, provide the detail and get to it.

Score 1: Leviathan Wakes Score Ideas

Some of Lord Strangford’s sailors have left his private
island to carouse in the nearby taverns. If they could
be persuaded to answer a few questions about their
boss, Hutton, Yannick or the Lost would pay 3 coin
for this information.
մ The sailors are also informants for the Inspectors,
who have some heavily-armed agents shadowing
their every move.
մ What’s the plan? Provide the detail.
մ Engagement roll. Cut to the action.
Score 2: Ghostly Goings-On
Hutton or Yannick offer you a job: find out the truth
behind the spectral sightings in Kellen’s ruins. They’ll
pay 3 coin for any information gathered.
մ The sailors are also informants for the Inspectors,
who have some heavily-armed agents shadowing
their every move.
մ What’s the plan? Provide the detail.
մ Engagement roll. Cut to the action.
մ Assassins: An information broker
working under the assumed name of
Briggs in Charhollow market is ru-
moured to be passing information to
Lord Strangford. Yannick, Hutton or
the Lost want this broker to disappear.
մ Bravos: Use the Leviathan Wakes score.
մ Cult: Use the Ghostly Goings-On
score.
մ Hawkers: Kellen’s was a notorious vice
den. Maybe someone’s got an itch to
scratch.
մ Shadows: Briggs has incriminating
material on Lord Strangford—Yannick
or Hutton would pay handsomely for
this information.
մ Smugglers: Hutton’s acquired some
weapons from the Lampblacks in
Crow’s Foot, but with all the extra Blue-
coat scrutiny, he’s got no way of getting
them into the district. That’s where you
come in.

Among those with discerning tastes, there is no greater prize than a seat at the Golden Plum.

Considered the finest restaurant in all of Duskvol, the Six Towers establishment is a transcendent
culinary experience — a tasting menu of sixty four of the most imaginative and delectable pairings of
dishes and spirits, culminating in the Golden Plum.

A culinary delight to imbibe all six senses.

POSSESSIONS
The Golden Plum — A life changing fruit encapsulated in gold. The most decadent of delicate desserts. A taste of
ambrosia from the divine. Origins of mystery. Or so they say. Reserved for only the finest clients.

Golden Plum Rum Cake — Those who have enjoyed a meal at the Golden Plum also rave about the rum cake. The recipe
is also a closely guarded secret. Not as closely guarded, but still guarded.

Six Obsidian Quills — The highest culinary prize given by the Duskvol Sentinel, ever only given to three establishments
in its 76 year history. Recent stewardship of Reviews has fallen to Yonathan Uld, a famed investigative reporter for the
Sentinel. Retaining all six Quills is the highest of priorities for Irma.

POTENTIAL SCORES
I. PROCUREMENT — Chef Irma is always on the lookout for the finest ingredients in Duskvol. She often procures
from grimy bowels of Nightmarket or the Radiant Gardens of Whitehall. Sometimes, especially luxurious
ingredients can only be sourced in exotic locations with delicate manners and hands. The needs of a restaurant are
many.

II. TECHNIQUE — Irma shows an appreciation for those with a little technique. Offer her a proposal to learn or
acquire and she will gladly assess your ability and fit for her own.

III. REVIEWS — The Golden Plum vies for prestige with other establishments like Il Savago’s, Murasa’s, and The Ghost
& Owl for primacy in the culinary scene. The most coveted prize of all? The Obsidian Quill, given yearly to Duskvol’s
top restaurant.

IV. HOSPITALITY — The Golden Plum is famous for its exclusive clientele and unmatched discretion. The convent of
privacy is rarely violated, but in the event of transgressions Chef Irma maintains the strictest of policies and is not
above showing a little hospitality for those who need it.

V. CEREMONY — The Golden Plum is an exquisite venue for special occasions. Weddings. Holidays. Funerals. Rituals.
Orgies. Open for private reservation to only the most discerning of customers.

VI. PATRONS - The Golden Plum is patronized by the movers and shakers of the city. It is sacred neutral ground where
private conversation is encouraged and protected. Access to power beyond doubt.

The Scores
The Assassination: Captain
Ulshire rarely shows up outside
of the precinct. The nature of
these emergency checkpoints
is the exception. Ulshire is
paranoid and overly cautious.
Their craftiness and security
measures have kept them
alive thus far. They’ve set up a
secure forward operating base
in the middle of the district.
It’s currently locked down
tight, but an opportunity arises
as a Bluecoat patrol arrives
for a new shift change. You
have moments to seize the
opportunity. What do you do?
The forward operating base is
littered with traps- gas traps,
electroshock traps, alert
whistles, compartmentalized
lockdown, etc. There are
multiple escape routes only
easily accessible to Captain
Ulshire, ready to flee at a
moment’s notice.
The Theft: You arrive at the
warehouse in Crow’s Foot
only to find that four carriages
have arrived and four similarly
unmarked crates are packed
into each one. The carriages are
splitting off in two directions-
two per route- and each is well
guarded. What do you do?
The correct carriage had
hidden arcane wards that
summon all manners
of ghosts if attacked or
otherwise opened by the
wrong individual. A whisper
is accompanying the carriage
to compel the ghosts to
protect the goods.
The Delivery: You are
currently waiting in a long line
either on the streets or on the
waterways from Crow’s Foot
to Charterhall. Bluecoats are
checking papers up and down
the lines and performing
preliminary searches before
passing you off to the
checkpoint for one final search
and clearance. A Bluecoat
arrives asking for your papers
and is asking their partner to
check your vehicle. What do
you do?
Complications
Ivan owes some significant
money to the wrong people
and is using the guns to arm
the rivals of his debtors. The
debtors, the Grinders, are
well aware of this and a hit
squad will be on-site to find
and kill Ivan when the Crew
arrives at the museum.
Gratitude Day
“As I watched your ashes drifting,
I learned life’s pleasures die away.
I will be grateful for this day.
I will be grateful for each day to come.”
—Traditional Hymn

The citizens of Brightstone wait all year for Gratitude Day. Doskvol treats this holiday as
a riotous celebration of life, far from its dreary Imperial roots. Thronged masses gather
in Unity Park to gorge themselves at public feast tables, and petit-bourgeois shoppers
come to blows over discounted luxury goods at shops across the district.
The Church of the Ecstasy of the Flesh finishes the day with the Procession of Gratitude.
The parade starts in Whitecrown and marches across the Bowmore Bridge towards the
Sanctorium, gathering revellers along the way. It culminates in a mass show of devotion
inside the cathedral. Preceptors destroy great stockpiles of captured spirits, while the
faithful partake of all possible earthly pleasures.

Beneath the Pageantry

With Brightstone’s finest distracted by the parade, your crew sneaked into the winding
catacombs beneath the Sanctorium. Just as you secured your target, one of you tripped
an arcane ward. The tunnel you came through collapsed, blocking your escape route. If
you can fight your way to the surface through the Church of Ecstasy’s dark minions and
through the revelry of the Procession, you’ll have a lot to be grateful for.

Patron
Who tipped you off about the hidden entrance? Of all the crews in Duskwall, why did
they pick you? (Select one and answer the questions that follow.)
• The Circle of Flame. Lord Mora, noble. Have you met Lord Mora himself or just his
agent? Does he have the support of the rest of The Seven?
• The Reconciled. Captain Triller, possessed Bluecoat chief. Why are you in their debt?
What collateral damage do they ask you to inflict?
• GondoVliers. Griggs, haunted Whisper. What good deeds will this help them accom-
plish? What dark secret did they share about the Sanctorium?

Score
What were you looking for beneath the cathedral? Why was it more than it originally
seemed? (Select one and answer the questions that follow.)
• Ashes. The cremated remains of one of the Church’s founders. Do they retain any
power in death? What is their connection to your patron?
• Relics. An ancient artefact, hidden by the Church. What powers is the relic said to pos-
sess? Could you get a higher price from someone else?
• A Church Elder Eyren Bellsridge (pleading, frail, connected). Does your patron
want them alive or dead? What can they do for your crew if you don’t hand them
over?

Complications
You can think about how you’ll deal with the Church’s guards later, when you finally
reach the surface. What lurks in the dungeons for you to fight past first? (Select one and
answer the questions that follow.)
• Hollows. Insensate brutes tasked to guard the tunnels. How can you turn them against
each other? What shreds of humanity do they retain?
• Demon. An experimental subject, accidentally freed. What can you sacrifice to get it on
your side? What secret do you exploit to control it?
• Acolytes. Zealous junior members of the Church, eager to prove themselves. One of
them recognizes one of you – are they a childhood friend, a neighbour, or a scorned lover? Will
they risk their position for you?

Questions for the GM

What secrets do the crew stumble on that their patron didn’t know about? Does the Church notice
that the score is missing? Who recognizes the crew as they escape? What revelry are they dragged
into? What other factions might want what they found in the crypts?
 MONKEY

WRENCH
Hired security in Doskvol is a cutthroat business. Established mercenary companies vie for
the most lucrative contracts from nobles and the wealthiest of merchants and industrialists.
Among the largest of these companies are the Lions, Crimson Sentinels, Silver Shields, and
Bronze Talons. As one would expect in this city, the competition between these sellswords
is rarely honorable.

THE SCORE THE SILVER SHIELDS

The crew is contacted to embarrass the
Silver Shields mercenary company as they
provide security for a wedding between
two wealthy merchant families being held
at the Hallam Mansion in Brightstone.
While the Shields have a reputation for
quality, they often sacrifice expertise in
favor of appearing to be heroic protectors.
• Headquartered in a large building in
Nightmarket, near Charterhall. They
often congregate at the Hollow Leg
Tavern next door.
• Captain Nabil (tall, muscular, socially
adept, comfortable in command)
• Three-Fingered Fazul - Nabil’s 2nd
(arrogant swashbuckler, handsome,
tactical genius)
• Sid Kamron (Taciturn drill sergeant,
organized, stern)
• Around 50 sellswords. Example
names: Alfred Big Toes, Gimpy Peck,
Mako, Wallenford
 Rumors
• Three Fingers has a ‘secret friend’ in
Silkshore that he has been hiding from
Nabil.
• Fazul’s ‘friend’ may be an informant,
possibly for the Ink Rakes.
• The rank & file have heard something
big is about to happen. They’re excited
about the potential payout.
• The Silver Shields are in the running
for a lucrative contract with The Hive,
and a good night here could clinch it
for them.
• The wedding of Gareth Hallam and
Norah Tannebay is not strategic and
Gertrud (Gareth’s mother) is worried
about loss of status over the pairing
• Sid Kamron deals with most of the
contracts and security planning. The
invitation list and approved services
can be found in his office desk, along
with ledgers detailing other contracts.
Security
• Nabil and Fazul are personally over-
seeing security and mingling with the
well-to-do.
• Silver Shield guards are well dressed
and include one Whisper.
• A Hull may be positioned in reserve.
• Names: Tomil, Grazen, Canner, Freck,
Azire, Esther, Brannon, Artemis
Hallam mansion
The gates of the sprawling mansion open
into a courtyard. The party is held in the
great hall, lined with wood paneled walls
and rich tapestries. A grand fireplace and
head table are positioned at one end of
the hall, a small stage for musicians at the
other end.
GUESTS
• Gareth Hallam & Norah Tannebay
(wedding couple, contrasting styles,
fawning, genuine)
• Cradduck & Gertrud Hallam (stylish,
prosperous merchants, perfect hosts)
• Rupert & Brinley Tannebay (comely,
exquisitely dressed but out-of-date,
snubbed by other guests)
• Happy (musician, accompanied by
a small band, reputable, enchanting
voice, hints of supernatural)
• Vincent Tannebay (younger brother,
drunk, muscular, aggressive, avoided
by others)
• Dugald Flammery (son of Eltar &
Brynn, wealthy jewelers, infatuated
with Norah, melancholy, desperate)
• Eleri Makyl (attractive noble, affair
with Cradduck, gadfly)
• Filaurel Varcays (stunning, proprietor
of Snowflower Boutique, obsessed
with one of Happy’s songs)

The north of Akoros, where Doskvol lies,
experiences three seasons.

A frigid winter (during Elisar and Mendar).

A windy and rainy spring (Kalivet and Suran)

And a stormy fall (Ulsivet and Volnivet). Ulsivet

Also of note is a hunting season—the most active Market Home Commission Requiem Dust Carillon
time for leviathans in the northern sea, which usually lasts
from late Suran through early Volnivet. The leviathan

From the personal logs of the

The darkness calls to me as if a mother yearning for her child.

It’s shattered light dancing like sisters upon the Void.

The tendrils of the gods slip into my mind like a ghost in a dream. Bells
toll for that which is lost yet remain unseen and haunting echoes of the
living.

Drip goes the Dusk, drip goes the Dusk, Hiding beneath the it

Hide away from their eyes.

Crash go the waves, crash go the waves, The inky black, the many sailors' Elisar

Hide away from their eyes. Market Home Commission Requiem Dust Carillon
