If It Bleeds, It Leads - An Assignment for Candela Obscura

Embark on a chilling odyssey into the heart of Newfaire with "If It Bleeds, It Leads" for the Candela Obscura system. The narrative unfolds as investigators are drawn into the gruesome murder scene of esteemed surgeon Dr. Samuel Haversham in his Sidle residence. 

In his ruined study, a cryptic message scrawled in blood: "I KNOW WHAT YOU DID." 

This grim discovery invites your investigators to a locked-room mystery with no easy solutions. As you peel back layers and learn dark secrets from a wide cast of characters, shadows of the unearthly Mortenebran emerge... an arcane creature driven by a relentless pursuit of bloody vengeance.

Against the backdrop of Newfaire's steam-cloaked landscape, investigators unravel the clues, track the otherworldly killer, and with the right dice rolls, close the case without further bloodshed.

Play the Hunters... or the Hunted?

This Assignment is presented with a "canned" finale, where an NPC that I hope you find sympathetic will be the Mortenbran's final target!

Of course, all you need to earn the Mortenbran's vile gaze is having done a terrible deed... so perhaps you would rather have an investigator in the hot seat for that final scene? We give you the tools to tell the story exactly how you like, so that the stakes build to a perfectly horrific conclusion.
