Apocrypha - In Cold Blood
Block and Vargas found themselves finally arriving at this small
Wisconsin town. The Designer had sent them here to investigate
some strange happenings. Block and Vargas had worked missions
together on several occasions and we were now the current “Go To”
team for such happenings in Wisconsin.
We agreed that our first priority was to ensure the town’s children
were safe. So we headed to the School. Seeing signs encouraging
blood donations at an elementary school were very disturbing.
As we entered, we glimpsed coolers containing pints of donated
blood. As well as too many pasty faced school kids.
Looking down the hall, we saw the school nurse carrying a cooler to her
VW Hippie Van. Vargas rushed out to confront the nurse. The situation
turned hostile and Vargas was hard pressed to overcome the nurse’s rage.
But she did. Looking inside the van we saw pamphlets labeled for the
town’s homeless shelter.
We raced to the shelter, Block’s anger at what he had seen was building
exponentially as we covered the two miles.
Block rushed in and spied the Shelter’s cook making blood pudding.
Literally BLOOD PUDDING! Seeing Block racing towards him, the
Cook pulled out some strange artifact and began chanting. Block
leveled him with one punch. Damn Cultists. As we turned our two
cultists over to the police we noticed that a Dr Lazarus had an office
at the shelter.
We headed to the Hospital to look into Dr Lazarus.
We were taken to his office and felt the strong commanding presence
this Dr had. We tried to pin him down, and began to sense his involvement
was key to what was happening in this town. In fact, the events began
only three weeks after his arrival. We played our cards. And Dr Lazarus
bolted! Hurling beakers of blood at us. Before Vargas could grab him,
he was gone.
Block want to seal the hospital to prevent his return, but Vargas was
too eager to finish this cult off. Now we’d have to retrace our steps
to see if we could find where his ritual site was. We split up.
Never a smart move.
But this time it payed off! Our time to clear this mission was quickly
winding down. So it was fortuitous that Block found the Dr ten
minutes after Vargas had lost him. Block was miffed over Vargas
not following procedures to seal venues. He was miffed at the Dr
escaping from his partner. And he was miffed over having had
too much garlic in his spaghetti last night.
The whooping Dr Lazarus endured was enough to turn any crazed cult
leader back from the dark side. That and a stay at the county lockup.....
Now too report back and get our next assignment.
Conclusion
Apocrypha is a fun co-op or solo game it has really good flavor
and mechanics for improving your character as the campaign progresses.
The rules are not well organized or written but you can definitely
figure it out. We always try and stay in the spirit and when in doubt
keep having fun and don’t get bogged down. We will definitely get
more pictures of key events next time
