FALSE ALARM midpoint encounter: The Congregation — v2.1.0
New Scene 2.5 at Cold Cauldron Crossing (Ridge Road mile 9): the town comes up the mountain. Adds: - 4 NPCs built to challenge 4 Agents: Agnes Corliss the Switchboard Widow (the Chorus SAN drain through the Agents' own radios, Stand Still action denial, Speak the Names; weakness = her dead husband's handset), the Returned Petrie brothers (armor 3, numbing grasp, pond Baptism drag, fire-vulnerable), and the Called x5 (restraining civilian wall - killing one is 1/1D8 SAN and a cover-up disaster). - New battle map (blueprint style, 4400x3200 2x PNG) with 8 placed tokens, new gear item (Elias Corliss's Ham Handset), 4-page GM journal 13 with read-aloud, tactics, non-massacre outs and aftermath, plus a Scene 2.5 pointer in the scene guide. - Scene coordinate fix: padding 0 on all adventure scenes and centered token placement (tokens previously offset by the 0.25-padding origin). Verified by fresh import in isolated Foundry: 7 actors, 13 journals, 4 scenes, 8 tokens on the crossing map at correct positions. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
