The Chimaera Grand may not be the largest theatre in the city, but its has the longest waiting list for tickets. The productions put on there are known throughout as the very best of entertainment, and for members of high society, patronage is all but expected. The outstanding showmanship comes not only from the talented troupe of bardic performers and musicians, but in the use of illusionary magics to transport the audience to another world. It is rumoured that the proprietor himself, the extravagant Señor Estrane, casts and weaves these images from behind the curtain.

On this particular night, the party have been hired as protection by a local noble who believes there is a plot to assassinate him. Rather than hide, this noble wishes to expose the plot and needs an experienced group of adventurers to watch his back. The party choose their vantage points and wait. The first half of the play passes without incident, but just as the climax is approaching the lights flicker and a scream is heard from somewhere inside.  Suddenly each member of the party finds themselves face to face with one of the illusionary monsters from the play, but these creatures seem to have solid form. The theatre twists and turns around them as each is faced with a bewildering concoction of their own worst nightmares.

Will the party succeed in protecting their quarry? Will they be able to protect themselves? And how is it that the terrifying beasts, previously mere images on the stage below, have taken corporeal form and attacked?
