Alistair Drake, known as “Al” to his friends, is an Emergency Department physician at Newcrown Medical Center in Quelmar's Call of Cthulhu campaign Trial of Dreams. Recently divorced, the 30-year-old juggles the stress of working 80-hour weeks with helping his ex-wife raise their son Brian. His life--along with the lives of at least four others--was recently complicated by the death of their mutual friend Mark and the resulting appearance of a young child who haunts the dreams of all five individuals. They all have reluctantly agreed to a weekly “playdate" with the strange child in their dreams to keep the peace. The child, named Kenzie, included the stipulation they must exit the dream before “she” arrives—a much taller, and far more malicious entity with claws.
Current events have revealed that Kenzie has been in a coma for a little over a year at a nearby hospital. Further inspection suggested there’s another victim as well. Investigation is still pending.
