3. Saloon Fire:
The next town over from Eureka is Morgan's Point, started by a man named Morgan fifteen years before, hoping to be the boomtown Eureka is.

4. The Assessor:

Players would be representatives of Eureka dealing with the Monsapple agents.

PCs:

PCs:

PCs:

8. Father Abyssus:
A traveling fire-and-brimstone preacher comes to Eureka from the town of Grim, a notoriously law-and-order sort of town.

Abyssus manages to exorcise the demons from the child, but it seems to cause him some pain. He seeks the aid of local mystics. Players would be those mystics.

PCs:

Vignette: Indigenous tribes face the same shadows and demons that Abyssus faced.
