Free Hellboy RPG Resource: Dangerous Goods

A reputable academic, already known to the BPRD, calls the Bureau requesting assistance to transport an ancient sarcophagus to BPRD HQ for preservation and investigation. The situation could be made more urgent with reports of recent burgleries of such artefacts or even reports of a direct threat against the academic.

The pick-up and journey could be made into an adventure of it's own, if the reported threats are real. The academic will be unable to accompany them due to critical medical treatment he requires.

Once secure at HQ the real adventure begins: the artefact contains an undead bane summoned solely for the destruction of Hellboy (or pick any other specific BPRD agent, including one of your PCs if you want to be nasty).

If they bane is dealt with the BPRD will then send agents to question the academic about the true nature of the artefact, such as where it was found, by whom etc. However this will be an ambush. The academic will be under the control of some nefarious foe, a Nazi occultist, a vengeful witch-doctor or even Rasputin himself, who will then seek to destroy the agents.

More details on this one (such as stats) later.
