Whatever Happened to Alicia Thorne?

A year ago, in the small town of Milo, Maine, thirty-year-old Alicia Thorne walked out of Redd’s Bar and Grille after spending some time enjoying a few quiet drinks with friends she knew casually. It was a simple night out, but it turned out to be the last time anyone saw her. Despite the absence of any signs of struggle or chaos, Alicia never made it home that evening, leaving her family and friends in a state of confusion and worry.

Should a Murderer Escape Justice?

Public opinion quickly developed around the case, and many people believe, as they still do today, that Alicia’s partner, Ben Facet, is responsible for her disappearance. Ben, a reclusive figure in the community, is known for his unusual hobby of collecting strange books and manuscripts, which has only added to the suspicion surrounding him. His behavior and lifestyle have raised red flags for both police investigators and local residents alike, leading them to focus their attention on him as the prime suspect in this troubling case.

The central question now is whether detectives can uncover the truth behind Alicia’s disappearance. They must search for her body and gather evidence that will be crucial in bringing Ben Facet to justice if he is indeed guilty. As the investigation unfolds, it raises important issues about the nature of relationships, trust, and the quest for answers in a community shaken by the loss of a young woman.

What is Call of Cthulhu?

Call of Cthulhu is a classic tabletop role-playing game of mystery and cosmic horror where players take on the roles of ordinary people becoming investigators of the unknown to combat the terrifying forces of the Cthulhu Mythos. Set mostly in the 1920s, the game uses a dice-based Basic Roleplaying System (BRP) where players attempt to succeed at tasks by rolling under a skill percentage, and where too much exposure to the horrors of the Mythos can lead to a loss of sanity. One player acts as the “Keeper” (Game Master), guiding the story and presenting the challenges, while the other players create unique investigators from various walks of life to face these ancient, sanity-blasting entities.

This Adventure is for 7th Edition Call of Cthulhu The Modern Era.
