Shadowrun 4E - Dawn of the Artifacts 2 - Midnight.pdf - Shadowrun 5th ed Core Rulebook - artofantonius

There are deep secrets in the Sixth World, and there

are people who will do anything to uncover them.

Some secrets reach into the ancient past, but they still

have the power to shake the world. What they will do

depends on whose hands they fall into …

dusk was only the beginning. Jane “Frosty” Foster is back and ready to

continue her artifact hunt. If they’re game, runners will join her in a chase

across North America, from the frozen, bug-illed wastes of Chicago to the

political hotbed of Denver to the Deep Lacuna lurking under Los Angeles.

Midnight is the second adventure in the dawn of the artifacts

series, giving skilled runners the chance to find a second powerful

artifact—and perhaps uncover clues about what makes these treasures

so valuable.
