Sarah Talbot
Of the Field Team
Role:
Event Planner – Hired by Veritas for the Reopening Gala
Connection to Red McCrae:
None — or so she thought. But the week before she arrived, Sarah received a package with no return address. Inside was a medallion, ancient and heavy. And a note in scratchy handwriting:
“You’re the light. Keep it close. He’ll know what it means.”
– R. McCrae
She thought it was a mistake.
Then Red turned up dead.
And the medallion glowed when she walked near the sealed shaft.
Personality:
Charming, confident, and unshakably cheerful. Sarah is the kind of person who gets handed the cursed object… and tries to wear it with her dress. But she’s not naïve. She notices things. And lately, what she’s noticed is off.
Background:
Sarah came to Black Hollow thinking she was hired to organize a mining company’s PR comeback. Ribbons. Balloons. Name tags. Easy stuff. But the energy around this town? It’s wrong. People are nervous. She’s started having strange dreams. And she’s beginning to wonder…
Why her?
Why now?
Why this medallion?
Character Goal:
Figure out why Red gave her the medallion. Uncover what it unlocks — and decide whether to share it… or protect it.

You’re not lying. You’re just trying to stay safe.

Use the medallion in a dramatic moment.
Pretend it unlocks something, glows, or reveals a symbol. Use it to shift suspicion or attention — especially if things get tense.
