Imprisoned inside of a dark cell, weak and weaponless, an open window above the bed teases freedom. And a several hundred metre drop. Enough is enough, today you’ve decided to risk any chance at escaping, all it takes is to attract the guards attention. From there? Find a way out and escape. Alive.
After a professional visit in Port Tyris turned sour, pulling some strings bought you passage aboard a ship. All was not to be plain sailing however, foundered in a storm four days out and dragged to rest in a deep, sinister cavern. You retired early during repairs, only to later awaken to the screams of men. And of something else.
After acquiring information about a mansion outside the City owned by a fellow named Roderick, famous for his prized Jade Sceptre, I decided to pay the place a visit. This item could fetch a great amount on the market after all. There has been nothing but bad rumours about the manor, but I’m certainly used to that by now.
Their paunch appearance belied a stunning quickness in step. I began to distinguish the gleam of eyes under the trees […] It brazenly lies before me, and still I could not admit the fool was right. The accursed pyramid was neither Aztec nor Mayan.

For the strangest of reasons, the main character awakens to find himself back in the home from his childhood, twenty years into the past. Everything appears to be the same as it once did, except there are two noticeable differences. Something is infesting the house and no one appears to be around. Just what is going on here?
Introduction
Someone has released all the prisoners from Arkham Asylum and provided them with weapons. The escapees have made their way to The Narrows and are terrorising the place and will soon make their way into the city. The bat signal shines into the night sky while Bruce restlessly stares out from his window. This is going to be a long night.
Gordon Freeman has been given the task to help reactivate a Resistance listening post located above the old lighthouse. From there, things quickly escalate.
I’ve been hired by a wealthy man called Ranfield, to retrieve a holy relic, the skull of St. Lambert. According to Ranfield, the skull is kept in the reliquary of a Hammerite monastery called Redmound. The best way inside is probably through the warehouse, as there should be a passage connecting these two buildings.
I was contacted to procure a powerful tome called the Necronomicon. An eccentric scholar called Fistral reputedly obtained a copy for a high price, for use in secret experiments. He died along with his wife a while back. Recently, a party of Hammerities set out to obtain and destroy the book. They were not heard from again.
After a good long while, the latest community project is finally out the door and special thanks goes to Forge and Micky C for working their butts off with polishing and problem solving. The project takes place within a city in space in which the aliens have decided to invade. CBP8 makes use of TROR (true room over room) which provides a little extra sense of depth to the design across the map. My section in particular takes place in the upper city, surrounding a police substation and some mechs.
