The Opening

“A soot-covered gnome bursts into the station carrying a cracked signal lantern and begs you to help him find a train that vanished inside a sealed tunnel. He promises payment, but his hands stop trembling only when he whispers that the passengers are still alive. Then the station bell rings from beneath the floor.”

— Hook · Investigation, rescue, supernatural railway mystery

Set the Scene

At Brasswick Station, Kip Targ leads the party into a locked signal room. The room smells of hot brass and peppermint oil. A cracked lantern projects a moving image of the missing train, but each passenger appears faceless. Kip explains that the railway authority wants the incident dismissed as sabotage, while he believes the train is trapped in a section of track that no longer exists. Before he can say more, a signal bell rings three times from beneath the station floor.

Rumours

d4 · table
  1. 01
    The sealed tunnel was not sealed from the outside. It was sealed from the inside.
  2. 02
    Every railway worker who vanished in the old collapse had the same name written on their employment papers: Unclaimed.
  3. 03
    Kip Targ once repaired a dead man's pocket watch and heard it ticking before he touched it.
  4. 04
    Director Vey has ordered the station floor dug up at night, but no one knows what she expects to find.
Stakes

If the party fails, the dead gain permanent access to the railway and the living lose control of the region's main supply route. If they succeed, Brasswick is saved, but the party must decide whether justice, public safety, or a workable supernatural pact matters most.

Ticking Clock·The next midnight train departs in six hours. When it reaches the sealed tunnel, every name still trapped in the conductor's lantern becomes permanently bound to the railway.

Background Lore

The mountain rail town of Brasswick depends on a narrow-gauge line that carries food, medicine, ore, and mail through a haunted pass. Kip Targ, a jittery gnome signal engineer and traveling bard, has kept the line running through ingenuity, improvised repairs, and a talent for talking his way past angry officials. Three nights ago, the final train of the season vanished inside a tunnel that has been sealed for forty years. Since then, the railway signals have been blinking in impossible patterns, and passengers have reported hearing their own names spoken from beneath the tracks.

What the World Knows

A train carrying workers, medicine, and winter supplies vanished inside a sealed mountain tunnel. Kip Targ, the gnome signal engineer responsible for the line, believes the railway itself has been altered by an old supernatural mechanism. The party must find the missing train, rescue any survivors, and discover why the signals are calling people by name.
