Grotesque — Setting Overview

The Lost Shipwreck of Le Griffon Has Been Found!

The first days of Fall may not be the only thing that is settling over the quaint lakeside town of Ludington, Michigan.

A Discovery Made

A mysterious statue is found below the deck of that barnacled wreck and dredged from its depths. A once in a lifetime recovery for the local maritime institutions. A chance at redemption for that salt-sodden wreck — the Port of Ludington Maritime Museum.

An Event Set

An unveiling at the museum is announced by its curator — the stodgy and uptight Lance Handerson. It’s cravats, canapés, and a cash bar event that no one wants to miss!

A Truth to Uncover

Certain that Satanists and recreational drug users surround their quaint little town, the authorities are hellbent on revealing their schemes before any innocents are brutally sacrificed. Be on the look out — they could be at this very event.

As an old wizard once said “Not all who wander are lost.” But equally wise, not all who are lost should be found.
