The RPG Fiends

The two-day voyage to Gray Dragon Island is a somber, heavy crawl across the dark waters of the China Sea. While Declan hurls rocks into the churning surf and Vincent drafts letters he hopes his brother will never have to read, the terrible cost of saving the world finally comes into focus. An ancient scholar has unlocked the Eye of Light and Darkness ritual, demanding innocent blood, a moonlit vigil, and a chant that cannot stop until the moon sets. But before the investigators can carve their ward into the peak of a dead volcano, they have to survive the island's unnatural defenses—and the bleeding, furious high priest waiting for them in the surf.

The fortified walls of Ho Fang's compound are behind them, but the temporary sanctuary of Jack Brady's warehouse offers little comfort when the end of the world is scheduled for the next full moon. While Iris lies battered and bleeding on a makeshift medical cot, the remaining investigators cannot afford to rest. Their essential gear—and their shrimp-obsessed young companion—are still stranded across the city in a hotel crawling with Shanghai police. Slipping back out into the fading afternoon light, Vincent, Declan, and Abigail must navigate the dangerous streets one last time to gather what they need before the true war for Gray Dragon Island can begin.

The torture chamber of Ho Fang's compound offers no safety, only borrowed time. With a severely injured woman on their backs and a sorcerer who walks through walls likely planning his return, the investigators have painted themselves into a bloody corner. Beyond the door lies a labyrinth of stone, razor wire, and fanatical guards armed with sickles. As the party prepares to fight their way to the front gate, they are about to learn that escaping the French Concession is only half the battle—because the shadows they cast in London have finally stretched all the way to Shanghai.

The sitting room of Ho Fang's luxurious compound has become a slaughterhouse, and the deafening echo of a gunshot has just sealed the investigators' fate. With a powerful sorcerer vanished into smoke and the entire estate undoubtedly rushing toward the noise, there is no going back. Stripping the black and gold robes from the fallen guards, the party must don the very skin of their enemies to push deeper into the labyrinth. They came for a captive woman whose time has almost run out, but what waits for them behind the hidden doors of the French Concession might demand a toll in blood they cannot afford to pay.

Two days of tense recovery in the Palatial Gardens hotel have left the investigators bruised, bleeding, and jumping at shadows. But the quiet is finally shattered by a knock at the door and the arrival of a man who has been dead for five years. Jack Brady, the missing muscle of the doomed Carlyle Expedition, has stepped out of the Shanghai fog with a glass of old whiskey and a story that spans the globe. As he prepares to pull back the curtain on ancient pyramids, broken billionaires, and a synchronized conspiracy, the investigators are about to learn the cold, unforgiving truth: standing next to Jack Brady comes with a terrible price.

Somewhere in the sprawling labyrinth of Shanghai, a young woman is pinned flat inside a cage of glass and steel, screaming as a mild-mannered man uses starving river rats to extract a single name. Meanwhile, the investigators wait in the suffocating silence of a dimly lit hotel room, their weapons drawn and a rigged flashbang strapped to the door. They know they are being hunted, stalked across the rooftops by silent, disciplined shadows wearing black martial arts slippers. As the seconds tick by and the trap prepares to spring, the party is about to collide with a highly trained breed of killer—and learn just how much blood it costs to unearth the city's deepest secrets.

The night air above the Stumbling Tiger Bar is thick with smoke and the acrid stench of burning lacquer. Trapped in the narrow alleyway behind the blazing establishment, the investigators have nowhere left to run. Waiting for them in the suffocating haze are three cultists of the Order of the Bloated Woman, their voluminous silken robes billowing in the intense heat. With the fire closing in from behind and the shadows shifting ahead, the party must decide whether to slip through the smoke in disguise, or unleash a primal, terrifying violence that cannot be undone.

The radio crackles to life inside the Stumbling Tiger Bar, its sudden blare attempting to mask a suffocating tension. A single name—Jack Brady—hangs in the stale, smoke-filled air, freezing both a Scottish-Chinese bartender and an undercover naval officer in their tracks. In the cramped, grimy confines of Lantern Street, the charades have ended and the real conversation is finally about to begin. But in a city controlled by dangerous men and ancient cults, demanding the truth might just be the spark that burns the whole place to the ground.

The smog-choked docks of Shanghai offer no rest for the wicked. Trading the horrors of the ocean for the damp, neon-lit grit of Lantern Street, the investigators plunge into a city built on secrets and vice. Between the opulent heights of the Palace Hotel penthouse and the nicotine-stained walls of the Stumbling Tiger Bar, they quickly learn that every face is a mask and every poured drink hides a lie. And when a certain dead man's name is finally spoken aloud, the music is going to have to get a whole lot louder to drown out the truth.

The Southern Bell offers a rare and quiet reprieve as it cuts across the ocean, giving the investigators eleven days to heal, study, and reflect on the horrors they left behind in Egypt. But in the shadow of the Black Pharaoh, the past is never truly buried—it reaches out in prophetic dreams of crumbling mountains, and in the quiet purr of an ancient goddess offering a strange and powerful gift. As the ship approaches the smog-choked waters of Shanghai, the ocean itself rises to claim them, turning a peaceful stateroom balcony into a slaughterhouse. And when the midnight fog finally rolls back over the Huangpu River, the investigators will discover a chilling truth: the dead do not always stay dead.
