Cross-time Adventure Seeds

In most histories, Lewis and Clark were largely forgotten for a century. Even less remembered are the two expeditions a furious Spanish crown sent to capture or assassinate the exploration team.

In one worldline, (pick an early-19th-century hidden-magic parallel,) this makes for an excellent cover to attempt to collect something from the explorers -- or prevent them from achieving something.

In A), your players are dropped into New Orleans and instructed to keep the Corps of Discovery Expedition on its historic course, use the Spanish interference to get close, and then meet Lewis and/or Clark in order to get a mystical object they are carrying from them, or perhaps to assassinate a Centrum agent who's attempting to sabotage their work subtly (in order to eventually bring about a strong Russian Empire by giving them the west coast of North America. It's a long game.)

In B), your players travel with L&C and attempt to protect them from the Spanish interference and from the centrum team that's there to give the Spaniards a push in the right direction.
