The call comes at an inconvenient hour.

Not late enough to feel dramatic, but not early enough to be a mistake.
Your phone rings once. Then again. A number you don’t recognize — but somehow already know.

When you answer, there are no pleasantries.

You are told to pack for field deployment. Cold weather gear. Waterproofs. Sturdy boots. Nothing you can’t afford to lose. You are told not to discuss this with anyone outside your clearance. You are told transport details will follow.

You are not asked if you are available

Within the hour, a secure envelope is waiting for you. Inside: a laminated badge bearing a codename, a sealed briefing packet, and a single typed line

“Mission Designation: RW–96. Location: Bannau Brycheiniog.”

Safety & Consent

While the tone is intense, player wellbeing remains a top priority. Safety mechanics and consent tools are integrated throughout the event, and emotional aftercare is actively supported. You choose how far your character leans into fear and you are always in control of your experience.
