Story

C. 1971, the O.B.J. foundation, an organization dedicated to studying unexplained, unearthed an ancient church yard called “The Church of the Missing Rune”. Taking the necessary precautions they constructed a facility around the consecrated grounds. Among the ruins were fragments of a book titled “The Grimoire of Runes”. Inside the pieced-together book were detailed instructions on how to begin the second coming. The foundation has always renounced religion, a higher being was far too simple of an explanation for what they have seen. However there was something about this book, this Grimoire, that made them reconsider. Inside the book were writings from other foundation members who have never seen it before, or members that don’t even exist. Highlights and notes that were already on pages before the pages were found. They were professional, and annotated exactly in the way the O.B.J. instructs researchers to do so. There must be some reason. According to the book, to begin revelation the researchers must cast a rune sequence. To do this they had to rotate the rune labeled pillars into alignment. Then they must chant the runes aloud. Upon doing so, a rift opened, from the blinding white glow was the sound of trumpets, but soon that sound shifted into bellowing screams and the rift turned to blood. Several non-human entities flowed through the portal. Researcher ████ ██████ was engulfed into the crimson vortex. Following the accident, the foundation has so far captured all known entities that escaped, and now they are trying to send them back, and that is up to you, and the several predecessors that failed before.
