About the adventure:
Bow down before the Obeah Emperor!
It is the winter of 1941 and a rare treat awaits your agents as they check into a glamorous Caribbean resort for a spot of rest and relaxation.
Yet the demands of the Secret War are ever present and soon they are drawn into accepting a low-risk mission to take custody of a strange artefact. What begins as an apparently simple exchange between allies soon turns into a deadly game as the agents experience political unrest, learn about the corrupting nature of an amulet of Nyarlathotep and face off against German spies.
Yet, even once their immediate mission is over, there is no rest for the wicked on this paradise isle. When they return to their resort hotel they are tasked with investigating an intriguing murder-mystery. Can they identify the killer and their motive from amongst a cast of wealthy and colourful characters?
Pulled ever deeper into a world of espionage, intrigue and mystery, they are soon aboard a restored pirate galleon which is sucked into a portal to the kaleidoscopic Dreamlands. There they will meet the Obeah Emperor himself, Nyarlathotep, and find themselves competing against old enemies in a desperate battle of wits. Can they win the favour of the Crawling Chaos and a decisive advantage for the Allies, or will they incur his displeasure and remain trapped in the Dreamlands forever?
