TSK1-3

Overview:

• Characters:
  • 3 or so NPCs: actors in a re-enactment piece put on by Casino X. They recently lost one of their own, and their show has been experiencing strange coincidences which some among them attribute to a ghost.
  • The Shaman: resident of the alternate universe, he explains the situation and guides the party to resolving the issue
  • The Ghost: a strange, semi-ethereal being who is plaguing the production
  • Aquarius CEO: someone is trying to kill him by shoving him through a time warp, but if they succeed, Vegas will be destroyed and untold damage will be done to reality
  • The Assassin: whoever is perpetrating this by attempting to kill the CEO, possibly as part of the Game
• Places:
  • Casino X: the casino hosting the production
  • The Alternate Universe: one where Las Vegas was never founded
  • Gangland: a prohibition-era meeting between gang lords which would become essential to the founding of the city
  • Aquarius HQ: where the party meets with the CEO
• Plot:
  • It begins with an investigation into the mysterious accidents the production has been having
    • Preliminary results: one of the actors died recently, the show just started up again, some among the crew think it's his ghost.
  • The first segment focuses on the party trying to stop the ghost (or whatever it is). They set a trap for him.
  • Along the way, the CEO approaches them to request aid: it seems someone is trying to kill him. Not just kill him, but erase him from history, which, despite all the wonderful things his enemies would attribute to such a thing, would also un-save Las Vegas retroactively, causing untold levels of paradox. They probably just brush him off.
  • Segment one ends with the trap being sprung. Their assumptions prove wrong; the being isn't a ghost, and the forces arranging the coincidence are not so easily stopped. As history is rewritten, they are shunted into the alternate universe.
  • Segment two is about undoing the change to history. First, they must figure out a way to go back in time, then make sure history does what it is supposed to do.
  • In the end, they return to the prime timeline, figuring they've saved the day. Then, that damned ghost shows up again
