The group is in the hotel room. The manager is starting to speak:
-I know this is not the nicest place we visited. But we need to make some money to pay the repair of our bus and get to Arkham, so try to make you best this night! Now we will go to the rehersal. Any question?

-No, you will be the corrupt doctor who certificates Anna death. We don't show anything, what do you think, that this is cinema?
The rehersal takes a full hour (with several members comiting mystakes, fortunely, you have only 2 lines)
-Right, now you can all take a walk and eat something, but don't appear drunk! I don't know what the police thinks of the prohibition here.

You see persons walking the steet. They have a strange looK: big eyes, a strange condition of the skin, some lack the hair. And they all look at you in a hostile and furtive manner.

Lose 1 sanity point. You feel a small headache, like if you didn't sleep well, but the reherseal goes well. When you leave the stage, you notice a small girl, with 2 big eyes looking at you.

You recognize certains parts as those you are rehearsing. You feel a certain nause after seeing a certain symbol; lose 1d6.
Make a sanity roll 1d100. If you fail, lose 1d6+1. If you succeed, lose 1d3.

The day pass, and it's another day of rehersal. All the company is there: Enrico, Elisabeth, Mary, Bruce and Boris. You are in a huge garden when Bruce is making his proposition with Mary (in the play, Bruce characters should stabb Mary). You see a knife in the ground.

So the story is about a city (Carcosa) who lost it's king recently and a new king was appointed.
