Sherlock - A game of Werewolf!

Current day London



Sherlock Holmes has gone into hiding to protect the ones close to him, there is an elaborate game being played that could spell the end of everything he holds dear and he needs no distractions while he delves into his mind palace. He has laid a plan of his own that if the circumstances are correct should give protection when it's least expected.

John and Mary are left to help D.I Lestrade and Scotland Yard as unexplained murders start to appear across London, Each murder scene has yellow graffiti sprayed on the walls with all of them showing the same thing sprayed “αδειάζω”. Molly Hooper is on overtime where she has found a letter burned into each corpse’s left eyelid that spells “Did you Miss Me?” except for the 3rd corpse which had had both eyelids burned into and a black phone with red lipstick marks on the screen password locked was found in their possession. The phone had a small folded paper message under the leather cover which read “13-1-18-11-19-1-18-5-23-15-18-4-19”

Mycroft Holmes always present when the time calls for it, is making moves from the shadows that he hopes pay dividends.

Mrs Hudson residing at 221b Baker Street is never afraid to give her opinion especially when common sense goes amiss.

There are whispers in certain corners of London that talk of a mysterious serial killer who has killed hundreds of people to date and never been caught, but the loudest whisper is that of a group that has spun a criminal web all across the city where each crime links to these three words "Werewolves of London".

There are talented individuals that have different traits and skills some of which will be revealed below and there are traits and skills that will only be revealed under certain circumstances.
