Carnival of Blood
In this, the second part of the adventure, the Acolytes have fought their way to freedom and the surface, finding themselves in the strange and sinister city of Xicarph and the tumult of the Festival of Tattered Fate. Here, they must quickly overcome the shock of their surroundings and seek to uncover the dark plot that has brought them to this world before the shadowy forces moving through the carnival find them. If they are successful, ultimately they will discover that the unfolding events hinge on the ancient estate of Gabriel Chase at Xicarph’s heart and the striking of the Steel Clock, an event which may very well herald the end of this world.
Structure
The structure of Carnival of Blood is an open one, driven not so much by a progression of set events or a path of travel, but rather by the decisions the Acolytes make and the consequences of their actions. The Red Cages will have left the Acolytes with a mystery to unravel, some leads to follow, and more than likely a desire to revenge themselves on their captors and the architect of their abductions, but how they choose to do this is not set in stone. The Acolytes will also doubtless wish to better arm and equip themselves for what lies ahead and discover more about the strange situation they have found themselves in.
