The Iytean Menace (game): Difference between revisions

One of the primary persons of interest, [[Henry Jellicoe]] inevitably becomes central to the time-travellers' investigations. Though enjoying a good reputation as a brilliant and compassionate chemist and psychiatrist, he has become more reclusive of late, and should the adventurers force their way into his home on [[Wimbole Street]], even his incredibly loyal staff, led by butler [[Reynolds (The Iytean Menace)|Reynolds]], will have no clue as to his whereabouts. Often seen prowling around Jellicoe's laboratory — a building distinct from the main house, usually kept locked — is a mysterious, short, slightly-hunchbacked man named [[Ned Hines]] who has a "bestial" temper and refuses to talk with anyone. Though the [[Time Lord]]s in the party are unaffected, [[human]]s feel a sense of innate revulsion in his presence, akin to a groundless conviction that Hines is utterly [[evil]]. He never seems to spend more than seven or eight hours away from the building, and is impossible to tail usefully, seeming to always know when he is being followed and leading would-be pursuers on pointless journeys through the seedier parts of town.
