# Start Here — The Veiled Face of Chaos

**The Engine Run · Player journal**

The university sent you across the [Gods’ Teeth](000_Campaign_Frames/The%20Veiled%20Face%20of%20Chaos/100_One_Shots/The%20Engine%20Run/300_Locations/The%20Gods%E2%80%99%20Teeth.md) to recover a [mana engine](800_Rules_Reference_Homebrew/Aetherics/Mana%20Engine.md) beneath [Locos](000_Campaign_Frames/The%20Veiled%20Face%20of%20Chaos/100_One_Shots/The%20Engine%20Run/300_Locations/Locos.md). You have reached the beach. The flowers are beautiful and horrific. The sand has stirred, and the first giant crab has emerged.


**That is where we resume.**
