They are on the third floor, slowly stealing a variety of electronic

10 Nothing at all, but the claustrophobic thoughts of the party.

a’s Hunt
This is an adventure for Mothership® and assumes you have the PLAYER’S SURVIVAL GUIDE.
The scenario is designed to work with any existing indoor maps. Tables are provided to
generate rooms, encounters, and reactions, creating new experiences with every play. The
consistency is in the hunt and The Prey.
THE PREY
The Prey is intelligent and capable. It has strong survival instincts, and is intelligent
enough to control the situation. Stalk the party, wait for an exploitable moment THEN
have it attack. At appropriate intervals from the start of the adventure roll on the
table below. This should largely be time based, but also roll if the party is indiscreet.
Visuals should be based on party anxieties.
