====== HUNTING AN UNKNOWN HUNTER ======

{{:huntinganunknownhunter_title_2.png?600|}}

===== Introduction =====

Hunting an Unknown Hunter is an official [[pen_and_paper_adventures|102 Pen & Paper Adventure]] set in the [[beta_age|Beta Age]] of [[start|One Hundred and Two Lightyears Away from Home]].

It continues the events of [[the_man_without_a_name|The Man Without a Name]].  
After the brutal assault on the [[office_for_special_operations|Office for Special Operations (OfSO)]], Ezrah Scherkenstein uncovers a trail of clues pointing north — toward the settlement of [[morningstar|Morningstar]] and the foothills of the [[atrana_mountains|Atrana Mountains]].

The anonymous client who hired the PCs is still out there. Hidden. Armed. And very afraid of being found.

This adventure draws players into the hunter culture of the mountains and a secret that traces all the way back to the crash landing of the [[last_frontier|Last Frontier]] …

===== Setup =====
  * **Era:** [[beta_age|Beta Age]] (2628–2631)  
  * **Suggested Player Level:** 3–4  
  * **Adventure Category:** Investigation / Manhunt / Frontier Survival  
  * **Location Focus:** [[morningstar|Morningstar]], [[atrana_mountains|Atrana foothills]], [[tropical_forest|Tropical Forests]]  
  * **Recommended Pre-Generated PCs:** Any survivors of The Man Without a Name  
  * **Central Themes:** Identity, guilt, and the price of buried history  
  * **Players & Duration:** Designed for **3–5 players**, playable in **3–6 sessions**.  
  * **Difficulty Scaling:** Encounters scale easily based on how aggressively players pursue the target or how much attention they draw.  

===== Adventure Background =====

During the assault on the OfSO Headquarters, the attackers carried trappers’ gear, game-chips from [[saws_end|Saw’s End]], hunting tools marked “[[hale_and_hook_outfitters|Hale & Hook Outfitters]],” and meal receipts from [[django_s_diner|Django’s Diner]].  All evidence points to one region:

**Morningstar.** 

A settlement of fur traders, hunters, and lumberjacks. Ezrah believes someone there hired the killers — someone with money, reach, and a dangerous past. The PCs are tasked with tracking down this unknown hunter, uncovering his identity, and delivering the truth Ezrah was nearly murdered for.

===== How to Run This Adventure =====
  * This module is built around open investigation: clues can be found in any order.  
  * Encounters, interviews, and danger escalate depending on how much noise the PCs make.  
  * The adventure rewards clever planning, disguise, alliances, and social maneuvering as much as combat.  
  * Use the [[adventure_scene_sheet_template|Scene Template]] to improvise local conflicts, shifting leads, and wilderness travel challenges.

===== Continuation =====

This adventure can be played entirely on its own, but it functions best as the direct follow-up to:

  * [[the_man_without_a_name|The Man Without a Name]]

Surviving PCs carry all equipment, injuries, and narrative consequences from Part 1 into this module.  
Completing this adventure resolves the mystery behind the anonymous client and the hidden history he tried so violently to protect.
