Integumento S1 E2: Clown Closed
General Summary
Shroud Field Report #G90-1
Date of Report: Month 8, Week 3, Year 931 Location: Gameria - 3rd Level
Report Author: Beleren Hazid
Anomalies Detected:
Summary:
Our agents proved successful in neutralizing the threat posed by an outbreak of interplanar contaminants, tracing its origin back to a well in the lower levels of Gameria. Several weeks ago when we apprehended a majority of the Clown Kings gang, one of its members leaped into a well rather than face arrest. Their decomposing body infected the water, causing those who injested it to display symptoms such as pale skin and violent manic behavior. Upon inspection by our agents the reanimated corpse of the Clown King started rising up from the well, requiring multiple gunshot and stab wounds to be neutralized. This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Clown Kings were interacting with occult forces beyond our plane of existence, obtaining powers to corrupt themselves and others. Agent Patras collected a sample of the bloated remains of the Clown King member, I've already sent it to Kanara for further review. My initial observations lead me to believe that this interplanar corruption is fiendish in nature, but there are enough differences to leave me wary of making any final conclusion. Our files on the Clown Kings show many similarities with the archdemon Gray Hat, its members displaying a similar penchant for violence, corruption, and iconic menswear. But Gray Hat's forces were patient and allowed their corruption to incubate for years before rising to the surface, the Clown Kings appear more reckless with their behavior (especially when threatened). I would follow Agent Kayhane's advice and not share this with Chusei University until we've determined a safe way to handle this material. Our agents put up a good fight containing this creature, in the following pages you'll find sketches of the bloated, corrupted corpse as it was discovered by them last night. Agent Nikola appears affected by the encounter both physically and mentally, I recommend assigning an auditor to Gameria sometime in the next month or two to ensure that no interplanar corruption has occured. So far his behavior remains within normal levels, I will notify Shroud HQ immediately of any signs of sinister activity on my agent's part.
