Something Wretched This Way Comes - Wretched Darkness 1st Edition Rpg Solo Role Playing Session Report 2 - Webs & Spectres

 So last night I had another opportunity to do a bit of solo Wretched Darkness rpg action with my magus PC Clive King. And I headed back to my appartment for some needed rest after staking the vampires last session. 

 

I knew I ws going to encounter something nasty after working on the random encounter tables in Wretched Darkness second edition. Yes I'm using both editions to run Something Wretched This Way Comes. the Red Room has updated and upgraded. So getting back to the appartment was uneventful but once I was there the door was unlocked. Cautiously entering the room the appartment appeared to be empty. It wasn't! 
There was incubus in there that had taken the form of a giant spider. Combat proceeded and there were lots of shots fired.  I ended up setting the place on fire and with some very lucky rolls electrocuting the horror with a main line! And I haven't even found the missing kids except for the graves last time. I had to leave the area before the authorities arrived. 

So dodging traffic & my PC reached his warehouse bolt hole. And I managed to recharge my rituals and ammo. After of course a goodnight's sleep.  I had two more days before the demonic circuis slips away. And I had very little to go on. Two attacks but no evidence for my clients. 

   So I decided to buckle down and do a bit of reconnisance with crystal ball into the astral. A few rolls and a ritual later I was in the field just outside of the circuis. And there were guardian Hellhounds just outside of the property. But the circus wasn't what I was interested in. It was the shallow graves in the Potter's field just outside. 
I had a white candle burning to keep me anchored to my PC's body. And examining the bodies I was grabbed by one of the victim's ghosts! The thing demanded vengence. I had to end there because of several family commitments but that ghost has a tale to tell! 
There are five things that I've learnt with Wretched Darkness solo adventures: 

1. The random tables are there for a reason in Wretched Darkness especially second edition.
2. Monsters are exceeding deadly in this horror game in Wretched Darkness 
3. Solo adventuring takes some very loose dedication 
4. Monsters can think and the dice reflects this. 
5. Death is going to come swiftly if you as the player are not careful. And have a few backup PC's.
