A few days ago in the Catskills, police stopped to check on a motorist pulled over on the side of the road. The driver identified himself as Charles Brandt and handed over a driver’s that had expired in the late 1950s. After being taken to the police station, Mr. Brandt made a few phone calls to government agencies, asking for people who had long since left the program.

To commemorate the conclusion to this second arc of the Two-Headed Serpent, we here at RPX have composed a rhyme for you. When last left off, our group of investigators went up a mountain to see what they could see. A portal to another dimension was all that they could see. So now our investigators go back up the mountain to see what they can see. Eldritch horrors? A ticking timebomb? Roll sanity!

After having discovered a serpent folk structure in the cliffside of a mountain, our brave investigators make a second discovery immediately upon exiting the structure, a very large and angry beast. If they survive this encounter, then all they need to worry about is the ticking timebomb, the encroachment of the Dreamlands into reality, and a viral outbreak.

Matters are further complicated for the investigators when they learn that the plane they had arrived to North Borneo in was carrying a bomb. That bomb is now active and will explode. The investigators now have 24 hours to find a bomb a new forever home or deal with the catastrophic consequences.

After driving deep into the jungle of North Borneo the investigators come upon a clearing and an ancient temple. Roosted outside the temple are the same strange, winged creatures the party had previously encountered on the plane. Let’s just say you never get a second chance to make a good first impression.

The audio is a little rough on this one. Our recording bot's recording didn't quite work so I had to rely on a backup one-track OBS recording. Honestly I thought I had lost this recording too. Enjoy and Happy New Years -RPX The job is over and the damage done, but we had to get the gang together for one last look at Scrape, a Red Markets campaign.

When we last left our investigators, their flight to North Borneo had just encountered turbulence. And by turbulence we are of course referring to strange, winged beasts that have apparently already made off with the pilot. In this continuation, our investigators must first repel the flying beats onslaught, then land the plane. Since no one has points in piloting, this is bound to go well.
