We Don't Talk About Camp Cold Brook

There's a serial killer up at Camp Cold Brook. We're doing Call of Cthulhu again lol.

# Background & Gameplay Stuff

* Takes place over the course of a day? Maybe two?
* No real time to rest, mostly healing through medkits and the like
* Terror System - You more scared you are, the less rational you're going to be. Skill bonuses are depleted, but you're never going to (fully) lose player autonomy.
* Two Killers - The fake Trapper and the real Trapper
	+ Fake Trapper can be killed normally
	+ Real Trapper can be killed normally but will take a very long time
		- Much easier if you get the amulet

# The Story

## Pre Game

Camp Cold Brook is officially open for the summer! You and your (friends?) have decided to take the plunge and spend your summer in the Minnesota wilderness as camp counselors up at Lake Arawak! You'll start your journey outside of Camp Cold Brook, in the town of Travenston, a two stoplight one gas station town where you'll be stopping to get gas. You'll be joined by a DMPC, **Theo**, who is the head counselor for the summer.

The vibe will be jovial. Summertime 80's music playing the background. It's bright! It's happy! You're in an opentop Jeep drinking and having fun! This will be the time where the PC's will introduce themselves if they don't know each other or even if they do. Frame it like a 80's movie introduction, freeze frame on the character doing something.

Theo will instruct you to grab a 24 pack

* The Liquor Store
* The Gas Station
* The Camping Store

### The Liquor Store

Going to the beer shop will trigger two horror movie events. Outside of the beer store, the local drunk will initiate a grapple with the first person walking into the store. He'll ramble about Camp Cold Brook before one of the party members breaks the grapple or the liquor store owner comes out and shoo's him off. Either way, the liquor store owner will come out and identify that drunk as Roscoe, making up some obviously falsified story about Roscoe's history. He'll welcome you into his store and ask about the Camp opening back up. He'll seem slightly stressed, and an Insight check will tell you that he's lying about Roscoe along with hiding something about Camp Cold Brook. Waltzing around the store, there will be a

## Welcome to Camp Cold Brook

Pulling up to Camp Cold Brook, you'll exit the car and hear a commotion coming from the **Cyrus'** office. He'll be unintelligible through the door, but a **Perception** check will allow you hear him talking about the possibility of the Trapper and the camp reopening. Knocking on the door, the Owner will take you around the camp, showing you the more important buildings before introducing you to the other counselors and employees. Everyone will be there, besides the **???**, who the Owner will ask you to go fetch. They were last seen around the lake and you and whoever decides to go with you.

Walking down to the lake, you'll get a nice little view of the rest of the camp. Once you get closer to the lake, you'll see a figure standing near the dock, but you'll be unable to determine who exactly you're looking at, but you'll be grabbed by **Bishop**, who will ask you exactly what you're doing there. Turning back around to the lake, you'll see that the lake has been disturbed but your friend has disappeared. Bishop will tell you that she went back to the main hall for the all-hands.

Getting back to camp, Cyrus will explain that the camp is opening in the next week, but there's still some work that needs to be done. Your job right now is to prep the camp for the kids and make sure that wolves don't take up residence too close to the camp. Cyrus will note that there's a shotgun in the lake house if any wolves do show up. If the topic of **The Trapper** is brought up, Cyrus will end the meeting, and one of the other counselors will bring it up if the party doesn't.

## The Reveal & The Twist

There are three possible avenues for us to take here.

## The Big Bad Back Half

The False Trapper has been revealed and the True Self has emerged. This iteration can not be defeated by tradition means. Total immolation on him will weaken him to physical attacks, as will severing the link between him and his mother.
