You've heard the rumors about the so-called magic workshop that's occasionally spotted in the woods outside the city. You overheard that there's a reward for anyone able to get photographic or video evidence of its existence. You decide to venture out to try and earn that reward.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out as originally planned...

Setting Info

New Wesling City is an urban fantasy setting that is based in a historical area of Massachusetts, USA. It's considered a hotbed of various supernatural activity in a world predominantly inhabited by humans. 25 years ago, the supernatural made their existence known to humans after a three-side war involving human mages, vampires, and the fae. The war had spilled over into human-populated places, resulting in a rather rude awakening for humanity.

While a couple decades have passed, there are still many tensions between humans and non-humans. Despite this, most of the world has gone on and, to varying degrees, adapted to this massive shake-up.

Due to the mana leylines that run beneath the city, a good portion of the human population is of the more "arcane" variety, and occasional magical phenomena occur. Not only do the leylines have anomalous effects on New Wesling City, but also on the surrounding natural areas, as well. One such event is said to have resulted in the upheaval of an old, abandoned magic workshop based in the woods outside the city.

As rumor would have it, the workshop doesn't stay in one place for very long and always seems to be lived-in on the rare occasion that it's spotted by hikers. Thus far, no one has been able to get a photo or video evidence of its existence.
