User blog:Stormwell/Tresh Street Runners Case No.2 "Scarlet Traces"

Planning ahead and have ideas for the second case, would like to introduce the players more to the Outsiders and chiefly runes/bone charms, etc.

Basic idea steals part of the plot from the first Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes film, mainly a bunch of girls have gone missing and turn up dead after being killed in some ritual. The bodies were found in the mud banks of the Wrenhaven by the hermit chap that was hinted at living in the sewers after you breakout from Coldridge, though I'll be calling the hermit Ned Penny and stick with his background of being a sailor as was stated in the dead hermit note. The players would have to track down Ned whom in turn would cite that the bodies had to be dumped in the Wrenhaven somewhere upriver.

Some investigation would reveal that the girls applied for jobs as servents at a house on the outskirts of Dunwall before they vanished, the house belongs to a former professor of the Academy who was expelled under mysterious reasons. The Academy will be very uncooperate, only stating that it found the professor's research to be 'unethical'. From then on it would be trying to piece together the professor's research before trying to bring him in.
