This scenario is clearly influenced by a certain film, in which the characters argue about their pseudonyms and the boss tells them that he has people on another job. That is the starting premise for this scenario: another bunch of well-dressed criminals arrive at a warehouse having just committed a robbery.  \nAll is not as it seems, however:  \n• The warehouse seems to be haunted.  \n• The stolen loot is ofa curious (perhaps occult) nature.  \n• Unbeknownst to the players, all the player characters have the same real name.  \n• AnNPC disappears and some members of the group fail to remember he ever existed.  \nThere are multiple levels of reality in this game. In the game’s real world setting, a writer by the name of Robert Meldrum is reading a film script. The script is having a strange effect on Robert, who is externalising the characters within the play, lending them a level of reality. It is this reality that the players inhabit. Ultimately Robert Meldrum will be invited to the alien world of Carcosa, an other-dimensional realm associated with artists and decadence.  \nRobert Meldrum  \nRobert Meldrum is an actor and filmmaker. He lives with his cat in a third-floor apartment. His agent recently passed him a copy of a play or film script titled ‘Dockside Dogs’, which he is now reading. The manuscript tells the story of this scenario as played by your players, with the opening scene being that of the player characters arriving at the warehouse. The words your players’ characters speak will form the dialogue of the play; their actions become stage directions.  \nAn overview of the scenario and advice on running it  \nOur story starts at the warehouse and the heist is not played out. Inform the players that the player characters have been instructed to stay in the warehouse from arrival on Friday afternoon until midnight when aman is due to collect them and take them in a boat across the bay to meet the boss. Of course whether they stay or not is up to them.  \nCarcosa and the King in Yellow  \nThe King in Yellow and Carcosa are ficƟonal creaƟons of Robert W. Chambers. Whilst they have become associated with the Cthulhu Mythos, H. P.
