Vault 5e: Victoriana: Dreadful Inquiries ⤓

The Fate of London is in Your Hands: A Collection of Serialised Adventures for Victoriana 5E!

‘Were I to hazard a guess, I would say my first mistake was dragging that Puck out of the Thames. Had I just left him there, he’d never have told his mates I’d saved his life, his Elderen friend wouldn’t have asked me to help her settle a debt, and the tailor she owed three pounds to wouldn’t have set me looking for his lost sister. Now, that’s my predicament, but here’s yours. Hand over the girl, or I show you exactly why the Thaumaturges’ Guild revoked my license.’

In the foggy streets of Victoriana London, five seemingly unconnected cases confound your Irregulars. It will take cunning, skill, and more than a bit of brute force to solve these mysteries and discover the common thread, before a diabolical conspiracy overtakes the city.

Dreadful Inquiries is a series of five linked adventures for Victoriana 5E designed to take the Irregulars from 1st to 6th level, with stakes that climb ever higher and a ticking clock that adds urgency and drama.

Set over five months, with the Queen’s Golden Jubilee fast approaching, the tension builds with each investigation, leading to a thrilling conclusion that could save — or doom — the city.

Take on these serialised adventures in the world of Victoriana:

• A Furious Imposition: A young magister and his staff are found murdered in his home. It appears to be a case of illegal daemonic summoning gone wrong, but can there be another explanation?

• Diabolus Ex Machina: Sending stones are all the rage amongst the Proletariat, but how are a series of confounding murders connected to them?

• A Noble’s Pursuit: A potentially scandalous seance ends with a Noble’s death. Can the Irregulars prove the medium’s innocence before she is hanged for using the Pallid Art? 

• Peril at the Palace of Progress: An inventor is murdered before she can reveal her latest invention. Is there enough time to uncover the killer and retrieve the device before both vanish into the smog?

• Whispers in the Smoke: The search for a missing engineer takes the Irregulars outside of the city to a sleepy seaside village. The explosive finale is a race against time as the investigation reveals a threat about to change London forever…
