Empty Houses

From publisher blurb: This is a standard RPGA Network tournament for a team of four to six 3rd-level agents (though the serial’s challenges and XP rewards are tiered so that the serial can be played by up to six agents of levels 8, 13, or 18 as well). The late Sir Walter Wainwright the First was owner and founder of Wainwright Pharmaceuticals, a British company providing new and innovative pharmaceutical products. His death led to a lack of direction within the company’s ranks, and threatened bankruptcy unless the Board of Directors could locate a legitimate heir to the magnate’s fortune. Then an investor discovered an estranged son, Walter Wainwright II, who was institutionalized as a boy after poisoning his high school chemistry class. The heir’s therapists believed he suffered from severe delusions and sociopathic behavior, and had all but locked him up and thrown away the key. The Board of Directors arranged for the heir’s release, planning to use him as a pawn, a figurehead who could lead the company into a new golden age of investor-controlled profit. But Walter Wainwright’s progeny took charge of his new position, leading the company in an entirely unexpected direction. Fascinated by war, he ordered the secret development of a variety of chemical weapons for eventual sale to the military.
