 ===== Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters =====
+  * **Adventure Hook — The Doctor Taken in Twilight (Hope):** After closing, the GP fails to answer the on-call bell. Behind the service gate: a splintered crate, a smeared boot print, and a falsified FCS waybill. Witnesses mutter the [[jane_bold_gang|Jane Mendoza Gang]] name. In confidence, the Sheriff reveals the doctor’s past with a covert recon unit during the Great War. Why abduct him now—drug synthesis, cache maps, cipher keys? Deputized off the books, the PCs must read ledgers, trace the fake waybill, and follow cart ruts into the gloom before the gang forces what he knows.
