Synopsis
A cabal of sorcerers, lead by a 450 year old wizard who lives with a gypsy fair, has plans to raise the Dulcarnon -- the "intermediary life-spirit of Britain". Their plans involve the construction of an effigy called The Green Man, which will house a part of the spirit when it is awakened.
The murder that the Investigators witness on the train is a part of these nefarious plans, and by investigating the odd deaths they become drawn into a complex trail of clues across several different parts of Britain. The scenario takes them to Berkshire, Cornwall and London before drawing them to a final confrontation with the sorcerers as they perform their summoning at Avebury on the night of the Summer Solstice. Nystor Ferencz, the ancient figure behind the conspiracy, has an unusual magical ability: while his body is severely aged and frail, he can "see" through the eyes of any of an army of (apparently blind) zombie corpses which are slaves to his will. Thus, as the characters pursue their investigation they have an odd collection of mysterious blind men with tinted spectacles closely following their movements.
