  It Begins 
  As July begins, so do preparations for Dodge City's Independence Day celebration. People from all around have flocked to 
  town for the party, including the posse. A Confederate Infantry unit arrives by Dixie Rails just about the same time as a 
  Union Cavalry unit rides in, turning up tensions in Dodge. A commotion mars the morning of July 2nd, there has been a 
  murder! The body is found butchered in an ally behind the Occident Saloon. The heart, liver and left leg are missing. 
  Examination of the body (Common Knowledge or appropriate Knowledge skill) reveals the wounds were made with a sharp 
  blade, cause of death was most likely shock and blood loss from the abdominal wound, and the removal of the organs and 
  leg were skillfully performed. A Streetwise roll reveals the victim to be James Kelly, a bartender at the Occident and (with a 
  Raise) a known information broker selling to the highest bidder. 
  Tensions Build 
  On July 3rd, two more bodies are found with organs and limbs removed. Most suspect a crazed buffalo hunter or Indian as 
  the murderer and such characters (especially if they're members of the posse) get extra attention from Wyatt Earp and Bat 
  Masterson, plus suspicion and hostility from the locals. The 1st victim is Anna Morgan, a saloon gal for the Lone Star 
  Saloon. The 2nd  victim is Charles Gains, the night manager for the Dodge House Hotel. A Raise on a Streetwise roll 
  reveals that both victims are, like James Kelly, information brokers. Word of Anna's death will rile up the Confederate 
  soldiers in town who start picking fights with likely suspects and any obvious “Damn Yankees.” The Union soldiers will 
  respond in kind. Most fights are limited to fisticuffs as no one wants to spark off the war again. As the celebration 
  continues, the frequency of fights will increase. This drives most of Dodge City's folk into their homes. The Mayor becomes 
  worried that the Independence Day celebration will be ruined and puts pressure on Wyatt and Bat to control the situation 
  quickly. They seek help from likely candidates, including the posse members if they haven't already offered assistance.  
  Clues 
  Successful Streetwise rolls and the right questions turns up the following information:  
  ● 
  The Confederacy's spies recently gained an edge as the Union's top spy, Michael Garret, left town a month ago 
  along with his favorite informant, a saloon gal named Lacy.  
  ● 
  The Confederacy's top spy, Charlotte Graves, is a protégé of Mina Devlin. Charlotte employs a male bodyguard 
  named Justin Frakes. 
  Raises on Streetwise rolls reveal the following: 
  ● 
  ALL THREE VICTIMS EXPERIENCED WINDFALLS WITHIN THE PAST MONTH.  
  ● 
  ALL THREE VICTIMS WERE KNOWN ACQUAINTANCES OF MICHAEL GARRET. 
  SEARCHING MICHAEL GARRET'S ROOM (NOTICE ROLL AT -2) FINDS GARRET'S JOURNAL, WRITTEN IN AGENCY CODE. AN 
  AGENT CAN DECODE THE JOURNAL WITH A COMMON KNOWLEDGE ROLL. OTHER MAY ROLL COMMON KNOWLEDGE AT -8 OR 
  AN APPROPRIATE KNOWLEDGE AT -4 TO DECODE THE JOURNAL. THE JOURNAL TELLS OF MICHAEL DISCOVERING THE CAPTURE 
  OF HIS MOST TRUSTED INFORMANT, LACY AND HIS EFFORTS TO FIND HER. HE LEARNED FROM JAMES KELLY THAT JUSTIN 
  FRAKES WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE KIDNAPPING, WHILE ANNA MORGAN AND CHARLES GAINS HELPED HIM LOCATE WHERE 
  SHE WAS BEING HELD. HIS LAST ENTRY NOTES THAT HE WAS GOING TO RESCUE LACY. 
  
  What's Happening? 
  MICHAEL GARRET WAS A TOP PINKERTON WHO, WHILE NOT AN AGENT, STILL HAD AN IDEA OF WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING 
  SINCE THE RECKONING. ADDITIONALLY, HE'S PROVEN RESISTANT TO THE CHARMS, NATURAL AND LESS SO, OF CHARLOTTE 
  GRAVES. CHARLOTTE TOOK THIS AS A PERSONAL CHALLENGE, BUT WHEN SHE CONTINUED TO FAIL, DECIDED TO GET 
  REVENGE. SHE HAD HER BODYGUARD KIDNAP LACY AND THEN PAID THE THREE VICTIMS TO GIVE MICHAEL THE CLUES WHICH 
  LED HIM INTO AN AMBUSH. MICHAEL WAS CAPTURED AND MADE TO WATCH AS JUSTIN MURDERED LACY AND THEN FORCE 
  FED MICHAEL PARTS OF HIS FRIEND'S BODY. TO TURN MICHAEL INTO A GHOUL AND MAKE HIM CHARLOTTE'S PERSONAL 
  SLAVE. SHE SUCCEEDED IN FORCING THE TRANSFORMATION BUT FAILED TO CONTROL HIM AFTERWARDS AND HE ESCAPED.  
  MICHAEL HAS RETAINED MOST OF HIS MEMORIES AND NOW SEEKS REVENGE. FIRST, HE'S BEEN KILLING THE INFORMANTS 
  WHO SOLD HIM AND LACY TO CHARLOTTE. HE'S BEEN TRYING TO MAKE THE MURDERS SEEM AS MUNDANE AS POSSIBLE BUT 
  HIS GHOUL APPETITE DRIVES HIM TO TAKE ORGANS AND BODY PARTS TO EAT. ON JULY 4TH HE PLANS TO FINISH THE JOB BY 
  CAPTURING CHARLOTTE AND HER BODYGUARD, THEN FORCING CHARLOTTE TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME HORROR HE WAS PUT 
  THROUGH. IF SUCCESSFUL, CHARLOTTE WILL BECOME A GHOUL AND THE MURDERS WILL GO ON AS THE TWO CONTINUE THEIR 
  PERSONAL WAR. IF STOPPED, MICHAEL WILL PLEAD WITH THE POSSE FOR JUSTICE, BUT WILL FLEE IF HIS PLEAS ARE FUTILE 
  AND PLAN REVENGE ON HIS NEW ENEMIES.
