Beyond the Crumbling Veil

Our investigators are brought together by an unexpected air raid that sends them scrambling to the same shelter. While underground, they discover unexpected connections and unexpected horrors.

Gabriella is still trying to make sense of the strange dreams that have been haunting her since the start of a war. Dreams of a story she no longer remembers.

Finley Yaeger is recently arrived in London in search of his grandfather, Decard Lazarus.

Lizzie has finally made it back to London after a job went sideways, so she is now looking for more work and some answers.

Frederica has a bad day.

They escaped Basidiogre, but they are far from safe. Now they must find a way to navigate the forest of the dead without getting lost or falling prey to a monster. Only then do they have the chance of returning home.

The hospital is too quiet and the investigators are not alone. Things are no longer as they seem.

Trapped in the dream of an old god, they have no choice but to delve into the darkness and face the Nazi occult officers if they want to find a way home. And whatever lies beyond the veil is far more than they bargained for.

A high-ranking member of the Green Wheel party pays a visit to Decard in the hospital, and the rest of the group in the hotel. He introduces himself as the mayor of Oxford, provides them with a decadent meal, and asks them questions about what happened last night. Both conversations leave the investigators on edge.

Gabriella catches a strange man bugging her car while on their way to check on Decard. Blackwell is there to meet them and he reveals that the hospital room has been bugged as well, by a Nazi.

Then everything goes quiet.

Responding to the sound of Katie screaming, the investigators face down a mushroom-covered zombie dog fresh from their nightmares. Decard is grievously injured and they find Katie near dead (until she is resurrected by the demon dog). Once the creature is dealt with, Decard goes to the hospital while Gabriella, Victoria, and Katie are taken to the police stations to answer some questions. Gabriella’s interrogation is interrupted by none other than Father Blackwell, who offers her a chance to return to her normal life.

Decard is sent to get cleaned up while Victoria continues her research. 

Gabriella comes to the library to do research on the things haunting her patient, where she runs into Victoria in the special collections room. Soon, Decard returns as well and they have a conversation that brings everything rushing back.

The happy reunion doesn't last long before it is interrupted by a scream and a nightmare.

Content warning: alcoholism, large quantities of blood, vomiting, and a visit to an asylum with questionable conditions.

Decard makes a deal with someone who can make his problem go away, but only if he agrees to work for her. 

Gabriella is offered a job evaluating a man claiming to be responsible for a string of disappearances. Then she discovers that her friend, Father Blackwell, has disappeared as well.

Victoria enjoys some time out on the town, as well as some reading into the meanings of dreams and their connections to momentous events.

The next day, Victoria and Decard have an awkward reunion(?) in the library and Gabriella goes to visit her new patient.

The investigators wake up Friday, September 1st after a series of disturbing dreams, and go on about their days. During that day, each one finds they were left something in the will of a stranger. 

Victoria is gifted books that have become part of the Oxford special collections. Gabriella is gifted with enough money to pay off her debts. She also has a few meetings that hint at others knowing what she experienced. 

Decard is gifted with a collection of journals chronicling a man's study of the occult. Studying one of the journals causes him to dig too deep and unleash something terrible inside of him.
