ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
Built in 1704, Exfield Manor once belonged to the Barons Exfield. Then PISCES seized it in 1940 and made it a training camp. Shuttered in 1963 (after post-war use as an occult storage site), it remained in limbo until sold to the National Trust in 1998. It’s been a museum since 2003.

Two weeks ago the museum made the news when one of its Martinware jars was appraised at £350,000. PISCES subsequently noticed the museum’s website listed certain items among its collection that were left behind in 1963.

PCs are PISCES agents, given photographs of the items and told to deposit them at a lock-up in Manchester. Tomorrow’s a bank holiday, the museum closed. Tonight or tomorrow are perfect for a burglary. Don’t get arrested, don’t hurt anyone too badly.

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
A percentile based horror-mystery game where players play as agents working to push back cosmic threats if only for one more day.
