slaguru666andClaude Opus 5 c05d488b9d Play THROUGH TRAIN end to end; fix three scenes the dice could not reach 
Ran the whole case with five agents — briefing, kit swap, Mercy Draw, the
crossing, Cordera, the water tower, the four minutes, the locomotive, the
brakes, the register. It completed, and it exposed one serious defect and two
smaller ones. All three are the same shape: the scenario put dice in front of
things the fiction says should simply happen.

  1. THE ENDING WAS UNREACHABLE. Convincing Kell to stop was gated on Persuade
     or Status. Only THREE of the ten duty-roster agents have either trained —
     the Field Lead has Persuade 15 and Status 15. Three separate attempts on
     him all failed and the scenario had no way to end; I narrated it as working
     because otherwise there was no ending, which is exactly the improvisation a
     scenario is supposed to prevent.

     It now takes NO ROLL if the party can tell Kell one true thing about his own
     train — the coal, the four minutes, the north bench. He has waited a
     hundred and forty-five years for somebody who knows what is wrong to say
     so. Only a party that knows nothing rolls, at average, and a failure costs
     a pass rather than the ending.

  2. THE PAPERS NEEDED PERSUADE. Showing one side the other's document is the
     move the scenario is proudest of, and it sat behind Persuade at −30%:
     15% became 1%. Both men WANT their paper read — Merritt is proud of his
     letter, Ambrose's whole grievance is that nobody has looked at his writ.
     No roll, between passes.

  3. THE BOARDING SORTED ITSELF BADLY. Athletics runs 25–60% across the roster.
     Putting all five on the water tower left the doctor and the Registry officer
     missing twice each, carried across on the department's plank, passengers in
     their own set-piece, two passes gone. The text now names which route suits
     whom before they choose.

What worked, and is worth recording: the automatic clues absorbed two failed
rolls in Act One without the trail stalling; Standing Order 9 caught Okonkwo
checking a wristwatch in an 1881 street and cost a Coherence and a clock tick;
the fumble-is-a-fall rule fired on a 100 at the tower for five damage; the
exposure table held — one hit across the whole fight, on the agent who left
cover to work on Doyle; and the reset landed exactly as intended, with Doyle
standing up at the top of the car and Nkemdirim's hit staying where it was.

slaguru666andClaude Opus 5 5bc46879c7 THROUGH TRAIN: put the gunfight inside the loop 
The loop is no longer just a train going round. It is FOUR MINUTES with a
gunfight in it, and those four minutes have run about two million times.

Two sides, and neither is the villain. Cass Merritt and three hired men have a
signed letter of engagement from the company telling them to surrender the
payroll to nobody "upon any pretext whatsoever, including the presentation of
any paper". Josiah Ambrose and four Cordera miners have a sealed writ of
attachment from a territorial judge naming that same payroll against eleven
weeks of unpaid wages. Both documents are genuine. Neither man has seen the
other's. The company sold the same money twice and is not aboard. Both are
handouts now, and they only mean anything held in the same hand.

The mission is restated everywhere it appears — briefing page, case brief, GM
essentials: CLOSE IT. Closing the crossing does not kill anybody, it lets them
go. The loop ends, 3 November 1881 resumes from 11:44, and everyone aboard walks
forward into the life they would have had — including Ambrose and a miner named
Doyle, who did not survive the real four minutes. The agents are not choosing
who lives; they are choosing to stop holding history still, having met the
people it lands on.

The standing order is louder in three places: NOTHING MODERN GOES THROUGH.

Two things the playtest found, both now written into the text:

  - THE FIGHT WAS A TPK GENERATOR. Modelled with all nine shooters firing at the
    party it wiped them 171 times in 200. The model was wrong — the two sides
    are shooting at EACH OTHER — so the scenario now carries a measured exposure
    table: head down draws nothing, acting from cover costs half a party member
    and no wipes over 300 runs, moving in the open costs one, and going for the
    payroll box wipes more than half of all parties. The GM is told to say that
    last row out loud BEFORE anybody commits to it.

  - THE LOOP RESETS AND THE AGENTS DO NOT. Everyone who belongs to 1881 is back
    up unhurt on the next pass. The agents keep their wounds. Nothing said so,
    and a player who assumes otherwise takes risks that kill them. It is now
    stated in capitals in both documents, with the played pass that prompted it
    — two of four down at 0 hit points, one untouched because he stayed on the
    floor.

Nine cast members, eight handouts, ten plates.

slaguru666andClaude Opus 5 774e95dea8 THROUGH TRAIN — the crossing starter, and two more playtest fixes 
A train has been running the same four miles of track since 3 November 1881. It
has never stopped. Sixty-one people are aboard and all of them are alive.

The supernatural is science fiction underneath, which is the point. A railway
company laid track to a filed survey instead of to the ground, then described the
line as being where it was not — ten thousand times, in timetables and waybills
and telegraph orders, for six months, at a constant speed. Reality keeps a record
of what belongs where, and that is the most patient argument there is. The record
gave way with No. 9 inside it, and the RUNNING is what holds the crossing open: a
standing wave sustained by its own motion the way a bow sustains a note.

So the players must board a train that cannot stop, and then find that sixty-one
people at six passes is four hours they do not have. The ending is what they
choose to do about arithmetic they cannot beat, in front of a conductor holding
the manifest. No roll resolves it.

It is also the case that teaches Standing Order 9: NOTHING MODERN GOES THROUGH.
Using a modern object across costs a Coherence and moves the clock; carrying it
costs nothing; anchors are exempt. The catalogue already had the 1881 issue —
Webley, Martini-Henry, oil lantern, brass compass, pocket watch, buff coat,
laudanum — so the constraint needed no new content and gives the table something
to feel in the first twenty minutes.

Ships as docs/scenarios/THROUGH_TRAIN.md and a Foundry Adventure: 7 GM pages, 6
handouts including the survey that started it and a manifest deliberately held
back to Act Three, the case file at Containment 6 / Resources 5 / Clearance 4
with its four legs loaded, four of the people aboard, and 7 plates to show.

Two fixes from playing it:

  - Bhattacharya's RESEARCH was 1%. Placing the new skills last night I swapped
    Occult into Registry's core and took Research out — a records office that
    cannot look anything up. Research is back in core; Antiquities gets its
    Knowledge back the same way.

  - The boarding was unrunnable. At halved skill the set-piece put four agents on
    12–31% and all four missed, which stalls the one scene the scenario is built
    around. It is an average roll now and only a fumble is a fall, with the
    reason written into the text so nobody "fixes" it back. Re-run: 3 of 4 aboard
    on the first pass and one waiting for the next, which is the shape it wanted.

slaguru666andClaude Opus 5 37b4043746 Play a full case, then fix what it found 
Ran THE HOLLOW ROAD with five agents — approach, crossing, contact, the thing on
the road, extraction, debrief — with panic and Coherence both live. It ran clean
and it found one thing that mattered.

ANOMALY LORE 0. Marta Holloway, Field Lead, Senior Field Officer, could not roll
the department's signature skill. Nor could Okonkwo. Induction was gated to
TRADES on the reasoning that a career posting is itself the agency training —
but 17 of the 25 postings do not list anomaly lore, its printed base is 0 on
purpose, and nothing else supplies it. So the people who joined the department
straight out of school were the only ones who never received its basic training,
which is exactly backwards.

Induction is a FLOOR for everybody now, posting or trade, in the live generator
and the pack builder both. It never demotes: Bhattacharya keeps Registry's 63,
Holloway goes 0 → 43, Okonkwo 0 → 33. All twenty built agents verified non-zero.

Two GM tools the case showed were missing, both found by feeling the friction
rather than by reading anything:

  - clearPanic(actors). Panic clears when the scene does — one line in the book
    and, until now, five sheets edited by hand while the table waited. It leaves
    Coherence alone, which is the whole point of having two tracks.
  - partyState(). Everybody's hit points, panic and Coherence in one card. With
    five agents the alternative is asking "what are you on?" five times a scene,
    which is friction a table absorbs silently and then blames on the game.

And the player-facing gap: the primer never mentioned panic. Players got a
one-page aide-memoire for a track they now meet in the first scene. It has a
page of its own and a row on the cheat sheet, both generated from the same
tables as the rules.

One thing I reported as a bug and withdraw: Okonkwo's "Firearm (Pistol) 5%" was
me rolling the wrong weapon. He carries a marksman rifle at 53%. check-kits was
right.

slaguru666andClaude Opus 5 7ec7efd29b Replay the scene with the fumble rule; expose panicReliefFor 
Ran the east corridor again with fresh dice and every relief attempt routed
through easePanic, fumbles included.

The rule did not fire this time. All three attempts failed cleanly — Psychology
58 against 40, and two POW×5 rolls at 66 and 76 — so nobody was punished for
trying. That is worth reporting as loudly as a hit would have been: two
play-throughs in and a fumbled relief has come up once, which is about right for
something meant to be a memorable disaster rather than a tax.

Braithwaite still broke at 5 on "it said your name" and fled. Marrow went down
in a single round to a special with the entry bar — 19 through armour — against
the 4.5-round average the thirty-run tuning gave, so that was dice, not balance.

Then the question the rule actually raises. Relief rolls are made at your own
panic penalty, so the worse you are the worse your odds AND the wider your fumble
range — and now a fumble adds a point. That is a feedback loop, so I measured it
rather than trusting it, 300 runs per row:

    from 2, POW×5 60%   280 calm ·  0 broke
    from 3, POW×5 60%   227 calm ·  2 broke
    from 4, POW×5 60%   138 calm · 31 broke
    from 4, POW×5 50%    96 calm · 35 broke
    from 4, POW×5 85%   267 calm ·  5 broke

Recovery dominates everywhere. The worst case — overwhelmed, weak POW, no help —
spirals into breaking about one time in eight, which is a bad night rather than a
trap. No change needed.

Also: panicReliefFor and panicAfter were missing from the API, which I only
noticed because measuring the loop needed them and the alternative was
re-implementing the rule in the test — the exact duplication check-rules exists
to forbid. Both exposed.

slaguru666andClaude Opus 5 5aaae186e0 A fumbled relief attempt puts a point on 
Trying to steady somebody and making it worse is the most familiar thing on that
list, and until now it was the only outcome that cost nothing.

Done as a NEGATIVE relief rather than a second code path: panicReliefFor returns
-1 on a fumble, and easePanic already subtracts what it is given, so subtracting
a negative raises the track. One number, one direction, no branch that could
drift from the other. The clamp still holds — fumbling at 5 stays at 5.

The chat card had to be told, because otherwise it prints the word "Psychology"
over a number that has just gone UP and the table reads that as a bug rather than
as the rule. It now leads with a red FUMBLED tag.

Guarded three ways: a spot-check in check-rules for the -1 itself, and two
behaviour tests — one that the sign survives easePanic's subtraction and
actually raises the track, one that it cannot push past the top. A test on the
constant alone would have passed even if easePanic had healed on a fumble.

Verified live: 2 → fumble → 3 → success → 2 → special → 0, and a fumble at 5
staying at 5, with the cards reading correctly.

slaguru666andClaude Opus 5 20306d83d9 Play a scene with panic; tighten one reference row 
Ran LAST ADMISSION's east corridor with the six civilians and real dice. The
track works end to end and, more importantly, the penalty REACHES things:
Ferriby at panic 3 swung at Old Marrow with Brawl 25% printed and 15% effective,
while Sharrock at panic 1 rolled his full 58%. That is the whole point of the
track and it is the part that is usually decoration.

The arc played well. Lights out took four of them to 1. The body took Braithwaite
and Ferriby to 2. Enderby counting took three of them again. Braithwaite fumbled
his Psychology roll trying to talk Colin down, then it said his name — 5, broke,
fled, came back at 3. Renshaw steadied herself on POW×5 and dropped to 1.

One thing I got wrong and one thing worth knowing:

  - I flagged a 99 grading as a fumble as a bug. It is not. A 58% skill fumbles
    on 98-00, and both the primer and the rules page say so in those words. The
    "96-99 never succeed / 00 always fumbles" pair are floor rules, not the whole
    fumble range. Only the quick-reference row was ambiguous — it now says
    "never succeeds ... and is a fumble if it is inside your fumble range".

  - The civilians cannot use two of the three new skills. Occult, Religion and
    Psychology sit at 5% on the "(before)" sheets, so in the prologue the only
    relief that works is POW×5 at 50-85%. That is correct — a site foreman is
    not an occultist — but it means the skills are an AGENT'S tools, and the
    prologue is deliberately the game without them. The agents have them where
    they should: Bhattacharya Occult 63, Lindqvist 58, Renshaw Psychology 40,
    Braithwaite Religion 35.

slaguru666andClaude Opus 5 cbad87ba98 Add Occult, Religion and Psychology, and the Panic track 
From the first game's list. The three skills are not decoration — they are the
levers on the new track, which is why they arrived together.

PANIC, 0 to 5, up. It is the other half of Coherence and the rules page says so
in the first line, because a table that confuses them will make the wrong call
at the worst moment:

    Coherence   what knowing has cost you       weeks     10-0, down
    Panic       what is happening to you NOW    minutes    0-5, up

A trigger gives a point with NO ROLL. Asking for a die to find out whether you
are frightened slows the scene and tells the player how to feel; the die is for
getting rid of it, which is the interesting direction.

    0 steady · 1 rattled · 2 shaken -5% · 3 losing it -10%
    4 overwhelmed -20% · 5 broken

The first point is free on purpose, so the opening shock of a scene costs the
table nothing. At 5 you break — freeze, flee or fixate, choose fast — and come
back at 3, not at 0, because breaking is not a rest.

Relief is where the skills come in. A success takes one point, a special takes
two. Psychology is the only thing that steadies somebody who is NOT you.
Religion steadies you alone and does not care whether you are right. Occult is
the odd one: naming a thing correctly, out loud, helps everybody who can hear —
the department's actual work, and the only relief that reaches a room. Plus
POW×5 to steady yourself, and your anchor object once per case, which is what
that briefing scene was for.

The three skills are placed in six registers rather than left floating: Occult
to the professor and to Registry, Psychology to the doctor and to Interview,
Religion to Antiquities and Pathology.

Guards, because a track nothing reads is this project's oldest failure: the five
new rules carry spot-checks in check-rules, and check-behaviour gains nine tests
— the free first point, monotonic penalties, only 5 breaking, clamping at both
ends, breaking not clearing the track, special taking two, every band/trigger/
relief having a label, and every relief naming a skill the catalogue actually
has.

Verified in a live game: penalty reaches the roll (58 → 58 → 53 → 48 → 38 for
panic 0-4, criticals and specials recomputed with it), the full arc runs 0 → 2 →
4 → eased to 2 → pushed to 5 → breaks → 3 with no errors, the sheet shows the
band, and the rules journal has a Panic page generated from the same tables.

slaguru666andClaude Opus 5 ab619f4b73 Remove the dice textures and the whole Dice So Nice path 
Deleted: the seven PNGs in dice/, tools/make-dice-textures.mjs, the `npm run
dice` script, the RB_DICE colourset and texture tables, diceSetFor, the
diceSoNiceReady hook, and rbDressDice — which was tagging ten roll sites with
coloursets that no longer existed. 99 lines of module, plus the assets.
README and DEPLOY updated; they still advertised all of it.

Recoverable with `git revert` if it is ever wanted back.

This also explains the 01-that-was-12. The RESULT was never wrong: skillRoll
rolls one 1d100 and grades on roll.total, and the chat card derives the tens and
units it prints from that same total. Checked all 100 values of percentileFaces
and 60 live rolls — the printed faces reconstruct the graded number every time,
with no mismatches.

What disagreed was the ANIMATION. The custom addDicePreset labels registered for
d100 and d10 remapped which physical face means what, so Dice So Nice could land
showing 01 while the roll behind it was 12. Nothing downstream ever read the
animated faces, so no roll was ever adjudicated on the wrong number — but a
table watching the dice had every reason to believe otherwise, which is its own
kind of wrong. Disabling the skins in 1.0.6 already removed it; deleting them
makes it permanent.

Verified in a running Foundry after removal: skill roll, weapon damage, hit
location, major wound and Coherence all resolve and post their cards, no errors,
and game.ringbrp.diceSetFor is gone from the API.

slaguru666andClaude Opus 5 9b6c61ffcb Turn the custom Dice So Nice skins off 
Registering them with "preferred" made them the default for everybody in the
world, which overrides whatever dice a player had already chosen — the system
helping itself to a setting that belongs to the user. Off at the author's
request.

One named constant rather than a settings API: this codebase registers no game
settings at all, and adding that surface, its lang keys and its UI to switch one
feature off is more machinery than the job needs. Flip RB_DICE_ENABLED to true
and everything below it still works.

The textures in dice/ and the generator behind `npm run dice` are left alone.
Nothing reads them while this is false, and deleting work in order to turn a
feature off is a poor trade.

Verified in a running Foundry with Dice So Nice active: "custodians" is no
longer among the registered systems, and preferredSystem has gone back to
"standard" rather than ours.

slaguru666andClaude Opus 5 0852427586 Fix the pause: it would not hide, it was off centre, and it was too small 
Three faults in 1.0.4, and the first was the serious one.

  1. It never went away. Core hides the overlay with `#pause { display: none }`
     and shows it with `#pause.paused { display: flex }`. 1.0.4 styled the BARE
     #pause with display:flex, which wins on specificity, so unpausing removed
     the class and changed nothing — GAME PAUSED sat over the table for the rest
     of the session. Every rule here is now scoped to `.paused` and `display` is
     not set anywhere.

  2. It was off centre because I repositioned it. Core already centres it: a
     full-width band at top calc(50vh - 100px), column flex, centred both ways,
     pointer-events none. That layout was correct and 1.0.4 fought it with
     left/bottom/transform. It is left alone now; only the height changes, and
     the top moves up by exactly half the extra so the centring holds.

  3. It was small: a 322x116 panel in the corner. It is now core's full-width
     band at 300px with a 170px dial — against core's own 100px — and the
     caption at 24px to match core's.

Guarded: check-behaviour now parses the stylesheet and fails any rule that sets
display on an unscoped #pause. Verified it bites. It strips CSS comments first,
because the first version of the guard reported the comment explaining the
guard — which is exactly what the template guard did last time, so that is twice
now and the lesson is written down properly.

Verified by driving the real toggle: running → display none, box 0x0, no class;
paused → display flex, 341x302, centre X exactly on the viewport centre;
unpaused again → display none, box 0x0.

slaguru666andClaude Opus 5 ad771ff2b5 A uniselector for the pause 
Foundry's pause is a spinning d20 and a caption. This replaces both from CSS
alone, without touching the markup: figure#pause becomes a small navy panel with
a yellow rule along the top, and the <img> becomes the arm of a uniselector.

A uniselector is the stepping switch inside a telephone exchange — an arm that
clicks round one contact at a time, hunting for a free line. It is the right
object for this game. The department's whole business is a machine that says
where things belong, and OPEN DAY is set inside one. Eleven contacts, because
eleven minutes is the interval this setting keeps returning to.

It STEPS rather than sweeps: steps(11) over 7.7s, so a contact every 700ms. A
continuous spin reads as a loading throbber; a discrete click reads as a machine
working through a list, which is what the department is doing while the table is
out of the room. The arm carries a faint trailing sector, because without it a
700ms step is easy to miss and the stepping is the whole idea.

No new text. Foundry's caption is localised and this only restyles it — a string
hardcoded in a stylesheet would be one the lang file could never reach.

Two things the browser had to be asked rather than assumed:

  - Core pins #pause with BOTH top and bottom, so an auto height stretched it to
    180px for a 16px caption. It is pinned here instead and sized to content.
  - The arm is rotated, so getBoundingClientRect returns the diagonal of its own
    square (75px for a 52px element). The layout takes its size from the flex
    basis and never from the measured box.

prefers-reduced-motion stops the movement and keeps the object — a stepping dial
in the corner of the eye is exactly what that preference is asking about.

slaguru666andClaude Opus 5 53481bdfc1 Ship the LAST ADMISSION plates as showable images 
A third journal in the adventure — LAST ADMISSION — Show the players — holding
the seven scene plates and the floor plan as eight image pages at player
visibility. Right-click, Show Players, done.

title.show is false and there is no caption, on purpose: the table gets the
picture and nothing else. No heading telling them which room this is, no label
naming the thing on the stairs. The page NAMES exist only for the GM's sidebar
so the right one can be found in a hurry under pressure, and the players never
see them.

Ordered by when each comes up, not by asset number, for the same reason.

The builder throws if a plate is missing from disk, because a missing image is

slaguru666andClaude Opus 5 51bd8e618a Audit every remaining sheet and dialog; add the Culland Hall scene 
Opened all of it this time, rather than driving the system through its API.

Two more defects of the same family as the NPC sheet, and in the same place —
the types added last:

  - Talent and Art had no TYPES.Item.* label, so their sheets printed the raw
    key "TYPES.Item.talent" under the name.
  - Neither had a branch in item-sheet.hbs or an isTalent/isPower flag, so the
    Detail tab rendered EMPTY over a document holding category, rule, uses per
    case, Coherence cost, push cost and origin. Eleven of thirteen types were
    handled, which is exactly the shape an eye skips.

Both now have a header statline and a full Detail section, and a guard walks
template.json: every declared type must have a label, a flag set in ringbrp.mjs,
and an {{#if isX}} section in the sheet.

One hardening fix: loseCoherence applies the cost and THEN announces it, so
anything that throws in between leaves the actor quietly poorer with no message.
localize() throws on a non-string, which an unrecognised reason key is.

Everything else came back clean, and it is worth recording what was checked so
the next audit knows what "checked" meant: 13 item types opened, all render; the
expedition sheet (4 tabs); all 7 chat cards driven through their real entry
points — roll, coherence, reaction via Combat.rollAll, hit location, weapon
damage, major wound, and contact through a case file that actually has a group;
all 3 dialogs opened by clicking the controls a player clicks. No errors, no raw
localisation keys anywhere.

Also: Culland Hall as a playable Scene. Drawn as SVG rather than generated,
because a room count, a door position and a label are all load-bearing here and
a generator cannot be trusted with any of them — three label-collision passes in
the browser before it was clean, which is the documented cost of doing it this
way. 2800x2000 at 100px to the square so the Foundry grid lands on the grid
drawn into the image; 5ft squares; no walls, because half-done walls are worse
than none and a GM who wants vision can add them in ten minutes.

Verified in Foundry: the scene imports, activates, and draws.

Version 1.0.2.

slaguru666andClaude Opus 5 02ec47a351 Fix every NPC sheet, which has never opened 
npc-sheet.hbs line 43 read

    {{#if (lookup ../skillsByCategory key).length}}

and Handlebars cannot read a property off a subexpression. That is a PARSE
error, so the template never compiled, so every NPC sheet in the system threw
on click — Natives & Threats, the starter's enemy roster, and the whole LAST
ADMISSION cast. #if already treats an empty array as falsy, so the .length was
never doing anything in the first place.

It was invisible to all four existing guards, and the reason is worth writing
down: check-rules reads .mjs, check-behaviour says in its own header that it
cannot reach sheets, and every play-through in this project has driven the
system through its API rather than by clicking. Nobody had ever opened an NPC
sheet, including me, in any of the sessions that "played through" scenarios
full of NPCs.

So: check-templates.mjs, a fifth guard, compiling every .hbs in about a tenth
of a second, wired into the build ahead of check-behaviour. It also names the
specific shape — a property read off a subexpression — because the raw parse
error says only where. Verified it bites by reintroducing the bug. Handlebars
is a devDependency now.

Opening the sheet then showed a second thing nobody had seen: the NPC skill
rows carry four children and were using the character sheet's seven-column
grid, so the name landed in a 13px column and the whole list overlapped
itself. The NPC row now has its own four-column template.

Verified by opening all six LAST ADMISSION cast sheets with an error hook
attached: six rendered, no errors, and Old Marrow reads HP 20/20, major wound
10, armour 2, Brawl 60%, Melee Weapon (Polearm) 60%.

# Crossing starter — The Custodians: THROUGH TRAIN
> *A train has been running the same four miles of track since the third of November,
> 1881. It has never stopped. There are sixty-one people on it, nine of them are shooting
> at each other, and the same four minutes has run about two million times.*

## GM ESSENTIALS
- **System:** d100 roll-under. Special under a fifth, critical under a twentieth.
96–99 never succeed; 00 always fumbles; a 60% skill fumbles on 98–00.
- **Panic is live** — 0–5, up. A trigger costs a point with no roll; relief is rolled.
**This is the case where it earns its keep.**
- **Standing Order 9 is live** — nothing modern goes through. Charge for *using*, never
for carrying. Anchors are exempt.
- **Runs with 4–6 agents from the duty roster.** Not the "(before)" sheets — this is the
job, and it wants people who have been trained.
- **The four minutes are lethal.** Webley 1d10, Martini-Henry 2d6+2, against 11–16 hit
points. **Use the exposure table** — unrestricted fire from all nine wipes the party
five times in six.
- **The mission is to CLOSE it**, which releases everyone aboard into their own history —
including the two men who did not survive the real four minutes.
- **Hard rule: at 2:45 on the clock, they are on the train.**
- **Content warnings:** gun violence at close quarters, repeatedly; entrapment and
confinement; bystanders wounded on screen; a decision that lets named people die;
period hardship and labour exploitation; heights.
---
## Overview
- **Setting:** Mercy Draw, Nevada — present day, and 3–4 November 1881.
- **Tone:** Procedural, then unbearable. It is a paperwork error with sixty-one people
inside it.
- **Runtime:** 3h30 play + a 10 minute break.
- **The crossing:** opens at 11:40 every day, for about four minutes, on the grade.
### Design intent
1. **The supernatural is science fiction underneath.** Nobody is dead, nothing is
haunting anybody, and the whole event has a mechanism the players can understand and
explain back. If a table leaves thinking "ghost train", it has been run wrong.
2. **The obstacle is a physical problem, not a mystery.** They will know what is
happening by the end of Act One. Acts Two and Three are about a train that cannot
stop and an arithmetic that cannot be beaten.
3. **Standing Order 9 is the tutorial.** One shot at a time, no radio, a lantern that
runs out. The period kit *is* the difficulty setting, and it is the scene where
players learn what kind of game this is.
4. **The ending is a decision priced on both sides**, with no roll and no correct
answer, taken in front of a woman holding a manifest.
5. **There is a fight, and there is no villain in it.** Two armed parties, both with
genuine paper, both convinced the others are robbers. The players can survive it,
shape it and pull people out of it. They cannot end it — only the brakes end it.

|---|---|---|---|
| Briefing — the standing order | ~20 min | 0:20 | kit swapped, somebody has complained |
| Act One — Mercy Draw, now | ~50 min | 1:10 | they know it is a survey fraud, and they have heard 11:40 |

## Plot Summary (GM truth)
**April 1881.** The Cordera & Western needed four miles of narrow gauge across a dry
wash called **Mercy Draw**. The company surveyor, **Elias Vane**, was told what the chart
had to say before he walked the ground. He filed a survey showing the line on the
**north bench**. The line was laid on the **south bench**, because that is where the
ground allowed it.
Nobody was hurt by that. It is the dullest possible paperwork lie. And for six months
every timetable, waybill, dispatch and telegraph order in the company's operation
described a train running along the north bench.
**Reality keeps a record of what belongs where.** It can be made to get it wrong by
anything patient enough — and a train is the most patient arguer there is: a fixed line,
a constant speed, on the hour, every day, saying the same wrong thing about where it was.
**3 November 1881, 11:40.** The record gave way. Four miles of line came loose from the
date with No. 9 and five cars on it, **sixty-one souls aboard**, and a **gunfight already
three seconds old**.
**The loop is four minutes long and the fight is inside it.** The crossing did not capture
a train; it captured four minutes, and those four minutes contain two armed parties
shooting the length of car three. It has run about two million times.
### The two sides — and neither is the villain
| | Who | What they have | What they believe |
|---|---|---|---|
| **The coats** | Four men hired by the company to see the payroll to Fallon, led by **Cass Merritt** | A signed letter of engagement, and the key to the box | That men who board at a water stop are robbers |
| **The writ men** | Five Cordera miners, eleven weeks unpaid, led by **Josiah Ambrose** | A sealed writ of attachment from a territorial judge, naming that payroll | That they are lawfully seizing wages and being shot at for it |
**The company sold the same money twice and is not aboard.** Both papers are genuine.
Neither man has seen the other's. Nobody in car three is lying and nobody is wrong.
**Do not adjudicate it.** The players can learn enough to see there is nothing to settle.
**The running is what holds it open.** This is the thing the players must arrive at: the
train is not trapped inside the crossing — the train *is* the crossing. A standing wave,
sustained by its own motion the way a bow sustains a note.
- **Nobody is dead.** They eat, sleep in shifts, and have organised a water rota. By
their clocks it has been about nine hours.
- **Nobody can get off while it runs.** Three departmental attempts are on file; none
returned.
- **Stop the train and the loop ends.** This is the mission, and it is not a mercy killing.
### What closing it actually does — read this twice
**Closing the crossing does not kill anybody. It lets them go.** The loop ends, the third
of November 1881 resumes from 11:44, and every person aboard walks forward into the life
they would have had.
**Including the ones who did not survive the real four minutes.** History resumes as
history: Josiah Ambrose and a miner named Doyle died in that gunfight, and when the loop
lets go they die in it. Not because the agents killed them — because that is what
happened, and it has been prevented from happening for a hundred and forty-five years.
**That is the weight of this ending and it is the whole point.** The agents are not
choosing who lives. They are choosing to stop holding history still, and they will have
met the people it lands on.
The department's position is unambiguous: **close it.** A crossing held open by a
repeating event degrades, and when it fails on its own — Registry's read is within a
year — everyone inside is lost outright rather than returned. Waiting is the only option
that is definitely worse.
**Elias Vane is aboard.** He rode his own line to see what he had signed for. He has had
nine hours and a hundred and forty-five years to think about it. He understands the
standing wave better than the department does, he has told nobody, and he will answer any
direct question honestly because he has been waiting a very long time to be asked.
### Timeline
| When | What |
|---|---|
| 12 Apr 1881 | Vane files the survey. North bench. |
| Apr–Oct 1881 | Line laid on the south bench. Six months of paperwork says otherwise. |
| **3 Nov 1881, 11:40** | The record gives way, with No. 9 inside it. |
| 1889 | Rails lifted. The grade is still there. |
| 1974, 1991, 2009 | Three departmental attempts. No survivors. All tried to stop it. |
| Every day, 11:40 | The crossing opens on the grade for about four minutes. |
### Revelations
| # | Revelation |
|---|---|
| R1 | The filed survey puts the line on the north bench |
| R2 | There has never been a railway on the north bench |

| R5 | The 11:40 sound is a train working *up* a grade — always accelerating |
| R6 | Nobody aboard is dead, and by their clocks it has been nine hours |
| R7 | The running is what holds the crossing open |

## Player Experience
You are handed a Webley, a single-shot rifle, an oil lantern and a pocket watch, and told
that the handset stays behind. Then you stand in a dry wash in Nevada at 11:38 in the
morning and listen to a train you cannot see work a grade that has had no rails on it
since 1889. By lunchtime you know it is a survey fraud from 1881. By the evening you are
lying on the top of a water tower waiting for forty seconds of slow track, and after that
you are in a warm carriage that smells of coffee, being asked by a conductor with a
manifest whether you are from the company. She has counted sixty-one every hour for a
hundred and forty-five years. She would like that noted.
---
## The Countdown — the crossing clock (0–6)
Move it on **each pass of the train**, when **somebody uses a modern object across**, and
on a **fumbled boarding attempt**.
| Clock | What |
|---|---|
| 0 | Open. Four minutes at 11:40. |
| 1 | Thinning. The whistle arrives a half-second before it should. |
| 2 | Slipping. −1 Coherence to everyone across, once. |
| 3 | The line flickers — a hundred yards of grade is briefly not there. |
| 4 | The far end stops answering. Fallon's wire goes dead in 1881. |
| 5 | One pass left, and everybody can tell. |
| 6 | It closes, with whoever is aboard. |
---
## Handouts
| ID | Description | When |
|---|---|---|
| TT-H01 | Case brief TT-004 | Briefing |
| TT-H02 | **Standing Order 9** — period crossings | Briefing |
| TT-H03 | Issue list, 1881 | Briefing |
| TT-H04 | **The filed survey** — the line on the north bench | Act One |
| TT-H05 | Working timetable and the dispatcher's book | Act One |
| TT-H06 | **Passenger manifest** — sixty-one souls, nine children | Act Three |
| TT-H07 | **Letter of engagement** — found on Merritt | Act Three, when searched |
| TT-H08 | **Writ of attachment** — found on Ambrose | Act Three, when searched |
The two papers are the ambiguity, and they only mean anything **held in the same hand**.
Give them separately and let the table put them together.
The manifest is deliberately held back to Act Three. It is a list of names, and the
players should not be holding it until the moment it starts to weigh something.
---
## Briefing — the standing order *(~20 min)*
> You will be crossing to November 1881. Nothing you are carrying goes with you. Stores
> has laid out what you may take instead, and I would ask you not to argue with the
> storeman, because he is right and you are in a hurry.
**Nothing modern goes through.** Give both reasons:
1. **It costs you.** An object that does not belong is a thing the far side must also be
wrong about. **Using** a modern item across costs **1 Coherence**, per object, first
time.
2. **It is a beacon.** A crossing is a place where the record is already wrong. It
notices what does not fit, and the case clock moves.
**Charge for using, never for carrying.** A player who smuggles a torch across and never
switches it on has made a good decision and should get away with it.
**The anchor is exempt.** Everybody keeps theirs.
### The 1881 issue
| Instead of | They get |
|---|---|
| service pistol | **Webley revolver** — 1d10, six shots, slow reload |
| carbine | **Martini-Henry** — 2d6+2, **one shot**, then work the lever |
| torch | **oil lantern** and lamp oil, which runs out |
| the handset | **nothing.** Out of contact from the moment they cross. |
| stab vest | **buff coat** or oilcloth coat |
| medkit | **chirurgeon's roll** and **laudanum** |
| phone and GPS | **brass compass**, **pocket watch**, **spyglass** |
---
## Act One — Mercy Draw, now *(~50 min)*
> **Goal:** find the fraud, hear the train, understand it is on a timetable.
Nevada. A dry wash four miles long with a railway grade along the south side. Rails
lifted in 1889; ballast and tie marks still there. Your watch says 11:38.
- **The south bench** — the grade, real and obvious.
- **The north bench** — nothing, and never anything. `[CUS: Spot or Engineering]`
- **The water tower footing**, half a mile up at the top of the grade. *Remember it.*
- **11:40.** A whistle a long way off, then four minutes of a train working a grade,
getting no nearer. **Automatic — nobody rolls for this.**
### Clue trail
| # | Clue | How found | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The filed survey puts the line on the **north** bench | **Automatic** — it is a handout with a line drawn on it | Essential |
| 2 | There has never been a railway on the north bench | **Automatic** to anyone who walks it | Essential |
| 3 | Six months of paperwork all say north bench | `[CUS: Research]`, or Registry provides | Essential |
| 4 | No 11:45 entry in the dispatcher's book | `[CUS: Research]` | Essential |
| 5 | E. Vane, surveyor, is on the manifest | `[CUS: Research]` | Optional |
| 6 | Three previous attempts, no survivors, all tried to stop it | Registry, if asked | Optional |
| 7 | The sound is a train *accelerating* up a grade | `[CUS: Listen or Engineering]` | Optional |
**Fallbacks.** 1 and 2 are the handout and the ground. 3 and 4 arrive from Registry by
telephone at the twenty-minute mark if nobody goes looking — Bewley is thorough and
slightly impatient.
**They cannot board at this end.** Too fast, grade against them. Let them try: a bruise, a
lesson, and the clock moves one.
> **Fast-track at 1:10:** the 11:40 comes round again and the door stays open long enough
> to walk through. That is what degrading looks like.
---
## Act Two — Cordera, 1881 *(~70 min)*
> **Goal:** the far side, the standing order in practice, and the boarding.
The fourth of November, 1881. A town of four hundred that smells of woodsmoke and horses.
Nobody is frightened yet — a train went into the Draw yesterday and has not come out, and
the wire says it never arrived.
- **The company office** — dispatcher, orders on spikes, the original survey in a drawer.
- **The livery** — horses. This matters.
- **Ada Reyes**, telegraph, who has sent the same query forty times and has noticed the
missing 11:45.
- **The Draw**, four miles out. The train passes about every forty minutes.
**Nobody in 1881 can help them stop it, and everybody will help them get near it.** The
company wants its train back. Let the players use that.
### The set-piece — getting aboard
The train cannot stop and cannot be flagged. The only way on is to **match its speed**,
and the only place it is slow is **the top of the grade at the water tower** — about eight
miles an hour, for perhaps forty seconds.
1. **Ride it down.** Horses alongside on the bench, step across. `[CUS: Ride, then
Athletics]` — and the horse needs its own Ride roll to go near the train at all.
2. **Drop from the tower.** Twelve feet onto a moving roof. `[CUS: Athletics — average;
**only a fumble is a fall**]`. **Do not make this difficult** — playtested at halved
skill it put four agents on 12–31% and all four missed, which stalls the one scene the
scenario is built around.
3. **The wagon on the grade.** Four horses, a plank across. Slowest to arrange, safest to
cross, and it needs the company's help.
**The wagon is easier than the tower, and the tower is easier than the horses.** A party
that spends an hour arranging the wagon has bought an easy roll and should get one.
**Say which route suits whom, out loud, before they choose.** Athletics on a duty-roster
sheet runs from about 25% to 60%, and the split is not subtle: the Containment officer and
the criminal take the tower, the Field Lead can, and **the doctor and the Registry officer
should be on the wagon**. Playtested by putting all five on the tower: two missed twice,
had to be carried across on the department's plank, and became passengers in their own
set-piece — at a cost of two passes on the clock.
**Everybody has to get on.** A failed attempt gets the next pass, forty minutes later, and
the clock moves — not a full stop.
**Panic:** boarding is worth a point to anybody who wants one. Offer it; do not force it.
> **At 2:45 they are aboard.** If two attempts have failed, the department's second wagon
> arrives with two more agents and a plank, and the players owe somebody a favour.
---
## Act Three — Aboard, and the four minutes *(~50 min)*
> **Goal:** survive a gunfight nobody started for their benefit, work out that it repeats,
> and close the crossing anyway.
> It is warm. That is the first thing. Sixty-one people in five cars, and it smells of
> bodies and coal smoke and coffee. Somebody has organised a rota for the water. A child
> is asleep across two seats with a coat over her. They look up when you come through the
> door, and one of them says: *"You want to be somewhere else in about six minutes."*
| Where | What |
|---|---|
| The locomotive | **Marius Kell**, who has not let go of the regulator |
| Tender, car one | Coal that has not run out — the first hard evidence |
| Car two | Most of the passengers. They lie down before it starts. They have a drill. |
| **Car three** | **Where the fight happens.** Overturned seats at both ends. |
| Car four | Freight, the payroll box bolted down, the signed survey in the satchel |
| Car five | **Elias Vane**, alone, watching the line come out from under |
### The four minutes
Starts on the whistle for the grade. Run it in rounds. **It is the same four minutes every
time** — same men, same shots, same two passengers hit in the second minute.
| Minute | What happens if nobody interferes |
|---|---|
| 1 | Ambrose's five come forward from car four. Merritt's four are at the front of car three. Somebody shouts *put it down*; both sides think they said it. |
| 2 | First volley. **Two passengers are hit** — a miner named Doyle, and Mrs Danforth's arm. Every time. |
| 3 | Merritt falls back to the car four door and holds it. Ambrose takes the overturned seats. Everybody reloads: a Webley is six, a Martini is one. |
| 4 | Ambrose reaches the box. Merritt shoots him through the door. The whistle sounds, and it resets. |
### HOW MUCH FIRE THE AGENTS DRAW — read before running it
**The two sides are shooting at each other, not at the agents.** Getting this wrong turns
the scene into a massacre. Work out what each agent is *doing* and give them that much
fire and no more.
| The agent is | Shooters | Cover | Measured over 300 runs |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Head down, not acting** | none | — | Untouched. A legitimate choice for a pass. |
| **Acting from cover** | 1 | −30% | **2 of 4 hurt, half a party member down, no wipes.** The intended shape. |
| **Moving in the open** | 2 | −30% | 3 of 4 hurt, one down. One party in 300 wiped. |
| **Going for the payroll box** | 2 | none | **3½ of 4 down. More than half of all parties wiped.** |
**Tell them the last row before they commit, not after.** Everything else is survivable.
**Nobody rolls to hide** — taking cover is a decision, and it works.
### THE LOOP RESETS. THE AGENTS DO NOT.
Everybody who belongs to 1881 is back on their feet at the next pass, unhurt, with no
memory of having been shot. **The agents are not part of the loop and their wounds are
permanent.** Say this before the first volley — a player who thinks the reset will heal
them will take risks that kill them.
A downed agent is *down*, not dead: the dying rules apply, and the only medicine aboard is
a chirurgeon's roll and a bottle of laudanum. First Aid is the whole answer, and somebody
has to stop shooting to give it.
*A playtested pass, four agents all acting from cover: two down at 0 hit points, one on a
quarter, one untouched because he stayed on the floor. That is a bad pass rather than a
typical one — the average is half a party member — but it is possible on the first one.*
### What the players will try
| They try | What it does |
|---|---|
| Shout, show a warrant card, take charge | Nothing. No authority aboard is recognised. `[CUS: Persuade at −30% on the first pass; easier later as they learn names]` |
| Shoot one side | It works, and changes nothing. Everyone is back next pass. **Let that land in silence.** |
| Get the passengers down | Genuinely useful. Doyle and Mrs Danforth can be pulled clear before minute two. |
| Get to the payroll box | The obvious idea, and the one that kills them. See the table. |
| Show one side the other's paper | **The good move.** It does not stop the fight; it is how they learn what they are looking at. |
| Get to the locomotive | Through car two and the tender, under fire in the gap. This is the route to the ending. |
### The paper — the ambiguity, made findable
**Merritt** carries a letter of engagement from the company: see the box to Fallon,
surrender it to no one *upon any pretext whatsoever, including the presentation of any
paper*. **Ambrose** carries a sealed writ of attachment naming that same payroll against
eleven weeks of unpaid wages.
**Both genuine. Neither man has seen the other's.** An agent holding both has the whole
truth: the company sold the same money twice, then put nine armed men on a train with it.
**NO ROLL IS NEEDED TO SEE EITHER PAPER.** Between passes Merritt shows his letter to
anybody who asks — he is proud of it, it is his authority, and he has had a hundred and
forty-five years with nobody to show it to. Ambrose shows the writ to anybody not
currently shooting at him, because having it read is the entire thing he wants. **Do not
put Persuade in front of this.** Playtested with a real team, the Field Lead's Persuade
was 15% and fell to 1% under the crowd penalty — which turned the scene the scenario is
proudest of into an impossible roll.
**It does not stop the fight.** Merritt will not stand down for a judge he has never heard
of while being shot at, and Ambrose has eleven weeks of nothing behind him.
### Closing it
**Kell will stop the train if a person he believes has authority tells him to, out loud,
to his face.** He has waited a hundred and forty-five years to be told. Not on a note, not
shouted from the tender. Getting there means the gap between the cars — `[CUS: Athletics]`.
**Convincing him takes NO ROLL if they can tell him one true thing about his own train.**
That the coal has not run out. That it is the same four minutes. That the line was never
on the north bench. Any of it. The moment somebody who knows what is wrong says so, he
asks them to say when.
**Only a party that can tell him nothing has to roll** — Persuade or Status at average, and
a failure means he wants another pass to think. **Do not gate the ending on Persuade.**
Seven of the ten duty-roster agents have neither Persuade nor Status trained; playtested,
three separate attempts on Kell all failed and the scenario had no way to end.
**When the brakes go on, the loop lets go.** Four minutes finish for the first time since
1881. Doyle and Ambrose do not get up. They never did.
### The choices — no roll resolves this
| Choice | What it costs |
|---|---|
| **Close it as ordered** | The mission, done. Fifty-nine released into their own century. Two men die of wounds taken in 1881, in 1881. |
| **Close it, having pulled Doyle and Mrs Danforth clear** | Works for those two. Nobody can save Ambrose — only stopping the train stops Merritt shooting him, and stopping the train is what kills him. |
| **Try to end the fight first** | Admirable, probably impossible. Every pass spent trying moves the crossing clock; at 6 it closes with everyone inside. |
| **Refuse, leave it running** | Everyone lives, for a value of living four minutes long. It fails inside a year and then nobody is released at all. |
### If they ask Vane
> I filed a chart that said the line was somewhere it was not, because a man told me to
> and I wanted the work. Six months of honest railwaymen repeating it made it true. Now —
> you have seen the middle of the car. Two of those men do not get up when it stops. They
> have not got up two million times and they will not get up now. I would still stop it.
> It is not our place to hold a thing still because we have grown fond of it.
---
## Epilogue — the register *(~20 min)*
A Registry room, a form, and somebody writing down sixty-one names.
| Ending | What the register says |
|---|---|
| **Closed as ordered** | Fifty-nine walk forward into their own century. Ambrose and Doyle die of wounds taken on 3 November 1881, four minutes after they took them. Registry counts it a success and it is one. |
| **Closed, the two passengers pulled clear first** | As above, and Mrs Danforth keeps her arm. |
| **Closed late** | The same ending, more expensively. If the clock reached 6 first, add the agents to the list. |
| **Left running** | Logged, monitored, inherited. Sixty-one people continue to live four minutes. When it fails, nobody is released at all. |
**Registry's note on any ending:** *"The department did not cause these deaths. It ceased
to prevent them. The distinction matters to the file and it is not expected to matter to
the agents."*
---
## Cast
| Who | Wants | Key line |
|---|---|---|
| **Cass Merritt**, hired guard | to see the box to Fallon, as engaged | *"I have a letter. Whatever you have, I have a letter."* |
| **Josiah Ambrose**, miner | eleven weeks of wages, lawfully | *"There is a judge's seal on this. Read it and then shoot me."* |
| **Marius Kell**, engineer | to be allowed to stop | *"You tell me when. I'll not do it before you say."* |
| **Elias Vane**, surveyor | to be asked, at last | *"I signed it. Six months of honest men made it true."* |
| **Hester Bligh**, conductor | her passengers accounted for | *"Sixty-one aboard. I have counted them every hour since."* |
| **Ada Reyes**, telegraph | an answer up the line | *"It never got to Fallon. I've sent it forty times."* |
| **Mr Bewley**, Registry | the chart, and the truth written down | *"Bring me the paper. The paper is the case."* |
---
## Do not resolve
- **Who was in the right.** Both papers are genuine, the company sold the money twice,
and the company is not aboard to answer for it. If a player asks the GM to adjudicate,
do not.
- **Why the coal has not run out.** The wave sustains it; that is as far as anyone gets.
- **What is at the far end of the line.** Nobody aboard has reached it.
- **Whether closing it was a rescue.** Fifty-nine people say yes. Two men do not get to
say.
## GM notes
- **Play the passengers as people, hard** — and the nine men in the fight hardest of all.
- **Never let the players win the fight.** They can survive it, shape it, and pull people
out of it. They cannot end it. Only the brakes end it.
- **Standing Order 9 is the tutorial.** Do not soften it and do not apologise for it.
- **Cut first:** the town, down to the livery and the telegraph office. Never cut the
boarding.
- **If they crack it early,** run the passes — six of them, forty minutes apart — and let
the table feel the arithmetic they are betting on.

## Which scenario to run
| | Length | Combat | Sends them across |
|---|---|---|---|
| **LAST ADMISSION** | 2h | yes, one fight | no — prologue, civilians |
| **OPEN DAY** | 2h15 | no | no — prologue, civilians |
| **THROUGH TRAIN** | 3h30 | no | **yes** — the first real case |
| **BLACK PLATFORM** | 3–4h | yes, heavily | no — a modern-day action case |
Run a prologue, then THROUGH TRAIN. BLACK PLATFORM is the one to reach for when a table
wants a fight.
