SirUkpyr Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) Hello, My Investigators have just reached the Temple Plateau in Peru, and I've got a new player interested in joining. What is a logical way to add said person to the mix? Suggestions requested (grin). Thanks for the help.

JDS Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 My recollection of that scenario is a bit vague, but in the 1920s Peru saw regular traffic from geologists hunting minerals, archeologists hunting ruins, and a variety of the natural sciences poking around, so you could literally run into a person with that background wandering in the wild, perhaps after a mishap that left him short of supplies and needing to join up. There was serious political issues going on in that period, too, so a reporter, mercenary, or would-be gun runner could be encountered wandering around the backcountry, on the hunt for news. That's all I've got. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werecorpse Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Iirc the lamprey monsters are gathering human fat to feed to the creature trapped in the temple. A pc could be tracking/following one that killed an ally, or had troubled a region and meet up. This way they could be any background that could be out in the area. If the main party missed any clues along the way the new PC could maybe have found it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirUkpyr Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 My thanks to you both - some very good ideas - and easily enough that I can use it to get someone added if needful. AND it gives me a good reason to add a new Investigator who is NOT from Peru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugen Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Why not give a connection between the new Investigator and Jackson Elias and/or an other NPC they met during previous chapters ? Something like "here's somebody you can trust, who is currently living in Peru for professional reasons, he was a good friend of Jackson, and will certainly help you if he can". As for the reason why the Investigator is in Peru, it will entirely depend on its profession. It may be because he has business there, or he's tracking someone.
