The 19th Century is when it all changes, and you’ve got to be ready.
It’s 1890 and Torchwood has the job of protecting the British Empire from alien or supernatural threats. Christmas has just passed, and it has been an unusually quiet few weeks, so when reports come in of a poltergeist haunting a boarding school in Cumberland, the Institute decides it might as well send four agents to investigate. After all, that sounds like a nice, easy job and perhaps even a post-Christmas holiday in the Lake District? The Headmistress is expecting good Christian exorcists… that might not be quite what she gets.
***
Uses the Call of Cthulhu rules for a story that’s more like the Torchwood episode “Little Worlds” than the alien-hunting ones. It’s not written with directly mature themes, although there may be hints of sexual impropriety off-screen.
