The Hunting Pack's journey is nearly over, but their work is not yet done. They still must deal with the undying being they created to monitor Nagalisitu while they were gone.

The Hunting Pack has come to terms with Nagalisitu society as it has evolved. Only one mission remains: to secure economic power for the nation. That means capturing wealth and experts in wealth management. Only the bankers of a fortified city state quality so the Pack is sent out, with a new company of soldiers.

Are the heroes bold or ruthless enough to claim it?

The Hunting Pack has split apart. While some members try to keep civilization running, others have turned against society or pursue their own goals.

While excavating land around Catholic church near Norfolk, Virginia as part of a larger renovation, local construction workers have unearthed a strange burial site. Inside a hillside crypt nearly 200 yards from the church, workers found nearly 30 skeletal remains arranged in a circle along the walls of the crypt. Each skeleton was found to have had it's skull removed and placed in front of a central skeleton holding a long blade with spiral etching. Initial observations from friendlies on the site have determined that the blade may be a point of concern. Delta Green activates a cell to investigate the site and identify any potential vectors.

The leaders of the Hunting Pack have decided that Nagalisitu needs warriors to strengthen its people and teach them in the art of war. They know that a penal legion could easily be recruited if someone could extract them from their current location. Rescuing besieged soldiers requires a bit of skulduggery, but if there's one thing the Hunting Pack is good at, it's underhanded schemes!

Having unearthed far more than they wished, the grandchildren of the fallen Shelby Matriarch take matters into their own hands to determine the accepted disposition of her assets . . . and the truth.

The Hunting Pack has returned to Nagalisitu to introduce religion but society has changed quite a bit in the interim. How do you introduce faith to a society of philosophers? Debate is one option, but it will hard to convince a society full of skill orators. There are other ways, but dare the Pack use them?

Bill and his two friends stand far behind you at the edge of the meadow, the lights of their car on, playing loud music, drinking beers and laughing amongst themselves. “We’ll be watching!” he shouts. “No sneaking out unless you wanna be known as chicken!” Once you enter, you can’t leave until sunrise tomorrow morning. It is almost sunset on Halloween night...
