In the dusty cellar of a fine restaurant in a closeby city lays a strange clay or stone tablet. It is an Aztec Sunstone and in it it houses the trapped and dormant spirit of an Aztec Priestess, or so legend goes. There used to be a magic shop in the building and was left behind when the store closed their business in the late 50's. This was a piece of the occult collection that was left behind and long forgotten.
1 The tablet contains the spirit of the Aztec Priestess Xiuh-Tu-Nal who, according to ancient Aztec Lore she will be the key to her people's revenge on the "White men invaders" (the Spanish landfall in the 15th century).
When awakened, Xiuh-Tu-Nal instinctively takes possession the nearest unfortunate victim - but suffers from memory lapses and confusion. She doesn't speak English and will try to flee unless someone calms her down. As she stays in the possessed body, it warps and transforms into her original form - a process that takes about three weeks.
Before too long, Xiuh-Tu-Nal will remember the ritual for possessing another victim - and will quickly become a body thief, possessing victims and discarding them.
2 The tablet is a valuable
Aztec sunstone, worth
tens of thousand dollars to collectors. William Fletcher, the son of
the former magic shop owner remembers seeing the tablet when he used to
play at the shop when he was a kid. He has since seen a similar tablet
at auction and stages a 'bust' with a couple of his friends. The bust
is staged as a gang robbery - however Fletcher's real goal is not the
cash from the register, but the Aztec sunstone.
3 The tablet is sacred to an Aztec cult of
cthonian
worshippers, and is occasionlly the cause for strange tremors.
The
tremors, when they occur, reverberate throughout the old building.
Should the tablet be "used" properly, it will act as a beacon,
summoning nearby cthonians.
