That's perfect. That sounds like a great scenario. If you run it, please let me know how it turns out!

Good point. The other thing to bear in mind is that many of the demons in Dread are attracted to human vice, so while investigating demonic activity, the Disciples are likely to encounter violent people doing illegal things. Combat will doubtless ensue.

Yes, definitely. Scorn: The Second Book of Pandemonium will feature information on demon-worshiping cults, including The Black Cross, Heaven's Children, and The Sicarii. The book will also some of the agents of Heaven, who will pose a serious threat to the Disciples.

Thanks for the great comments and questions!
