Mysterium: Secrets & Lies — Rules Manual

MACABRE DISCOVERY
AT THE WARWICK ESTATE
Warwick Evening News
Wednesday November 5th

On the sunlit morning of Tuesday November 4th, the hounds of Baron Woodville’s hunting party made a dreadful discovery.

Duchy of Warwick, Scotland
Friday, March 21st, 1924

Mrs. Jessalyn Smith, Rochester, New York

My Dear Friend,

Your cards are not lying. Sadly, the manservant’s ghost is still manifesting.

Upon receiving your letter, I have made some inquiries regarding his life and the many grey areas surrounding this case. No two townsfolk give the same account of the poor man’s demise: blackmail, treason, love...

Stranger still, numerous curious and suspicious events occurred shortly before the tragedy.

We need to find some answers in order to free this tortured spirit from its chains.

Would you mind returning to the manor in time for Samhain, to help me solve this mystery with the help of our friends?

Kindest regards,

Yesterday evening, a spectacular fire raged through the Warwick family’s prestigious stables. No human casualties were reported. The cause of the fire remains to be determined.
