Sub-Plot: Angel's Town

Rumours abound of mastery over life and death in Angel's Town, though very few in The Overgrown Wilds admit to having been there. Perhaps this warrants an investigation.   This plot thread was inserted at the beginning of Adventure: The Door in Reality, but never really pursued by the player characters. Matthew Lutey did once depart for Angel's Town, but was injured en route so had to turn back.   We never discovered more about the nature of the rumours, the inhabitants of Angel's Town or anything related. The gamemaster hadn't prepared or planned anything further, as required by Apocalypse World.
