The sequel to the best-selling Al-Azif Unearthed: The Unraveling
*
Fall 1925. It has been several weeks since the upper floors of a downtown Boston hotel collapsed, leaving many dead and injured and survivors telling wild tales. Reports say that a fuel oil explosion caused the collapse and hallucinations, but Fire Marshal Julian Freeland isn’t so sure. Seeking to interview survivors, Freeland hopes that they might be able to help him shed more light on what happened. Whether the investigators are new or veterans of the first scenario, they begin to realize the horror at the Ackerley House Hotel may have just been the beginning. Following leads across Eastern Massachusetts, can they find a way to avert disaster?

Fragments is the second scenario in Al-Azif Unearthed, a serialized campaign uncovering an ancient artifact with connections to the dreaded Necronomicon. Expanding on the events of The Unraveling, this is well suited for 3-5 players over four or more sessions. The scenario can be played either as a continuation of The Unraveling or on its own for entirely new investigators. You do not need a copy of The Unraveling to play this scenario. However, combined with the original, the pair form a mini-campaign with high replay value for Keepers.
