The Opening

“Thick green fog is hissing from the pressure vents in the Gearworks District. If the pressure is not vented before the evening whistle, the central furnace will turn Ironspire into a volcano of molten metal. You are the only ones close enough to reach the manual overrides.”

— Hook · Urban Sabotage

Set the Scene

The players are in a crowded tavern in Ironspire Junction when a pipe overhead bursts, spraying freezing blue coolant everywhere as the city alarm bells begin to toll rhythmically.

Halloway is soot-covered and frantic, grabbing the characters by their cloaks and shoving a brass override key into their hands while coughing from the fumes.

Background Lore

Ironspire Junction relies on the Great Boiler to power its elevators and factories. A secret faction known as the Rust Seekers believes the city must be 'purified' by a total system failure to return to a pre-industrial state.

What the World Knows

A catastrophic mechanical failure in the Lower Junction is causing gas leaks and threatens a sector-wide explosion.
