Case 3

Charles finds out the hard way that reality is not what it seems, and he’s not particularly happy about it. Samantha and Dan try to ease him back into the world as best they can, with the help of Dr. Loveland. Perhaps a week long stay at a nearby inn and spa will help everyone readjust...

Our investigators prepare for a long, relaxing week on an island in Deerfield, New Hampshire. Charles is still trying to cope with this new reality. Dan seems to think this vacation is just another chance to woo his sweetheart. Samantha does her best to bring together the two men in her life. Meanwhile, local urban legends surface from the depths of the distant past...

Why is Charles so afraid of a free spa pass? Why is Dan so reluctant to listen to the other guests’ fishing tales? Why does Samantha decide to take a nap? All these questions will be answered (or not) as the investigators settle in at the Contented Cow...

Samantha gets a gutful of wine and an earful of local legend while visiting Betsy. Dan recovers from his massage therapy mishap and tries to make up for lost time with his fiancee. The weather turns nasty, transforming the idyllic landscape into a nightmare realm. Charles awakens to fresh horrors worse than his hangover...

Samantha attempts to help Mr. Perfory keep the other guests from freaking out during the storm. Dan makes his way back to the hotel after discovering the destroyed bridge, but fails his drive roll. Charles joins forces with Carol Burt and discovers some clues on the murder victim...

Dan joins one of the guests to explore nearby PharmEx, though soon wishes he hadn’t. Samantha and Charles recoil from their disturbing discovery at Betsy’s house, then strike out to find the source of a strange explosion somewhere on the island. All the while, the storm continues to pound down while everyone starts to go a little crazy...

The thrilling conclusion to Chapter 3: Returning Home! Our hapless investigators attempt to hole up in the mechanical room but are soon faced with unknowable dangers. They opt to confront their fears, encountering terrible sights and sounds which shake their sanity until nerves are raw and imagination runs rampant in the hungry darkness...
