  2. [Nightmare Revelations] Reise nach Jerusalem

    in Nightmare Revelations

    Posted

    Als Ihr Euch in dem Restaurant umschaut, dringen aus dem Bereich der Küche Geräusche und Stimmen. Das Klappern von Töpfen und Pfannen ist zu hören. Stimmen, die eine unverständliche Sprache sprechen. Und unterdrückte Schmerzenschreie. Dann ein Stöhnen.

     

    Die anderen Gäste haben es offenbar auch gehört und die Leute schauen sich nervös und verstört in Richtung der Küche um und tuscheln untereinander.

    GREAT OLD ONES, the

    Chaosium - 1989 - CoC4

    CLASSIC 1920 SETTING

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    They worshipped, so they said, the Great Old Ones who lived ages before there were any men, and who came to the young world out of the sky. Those Old Ones were gone now, inside the earth and under the sea; but their dead bodies had told their secrets in dreams to the first men.

    Locations: Coppertown, New Mexico

    Creatures: Chthonian, Child of Yig

    Tomes and Artifacts: radioactive Elder Sign

    SYNOPSIS:

    The investigators are contacted by an old friend, who is a union representative seeking to organize workers at the Beardsley Copper Mining Co. in remote New Mexico. Recently another union agents was killed under suspicious circumstances - perhaps murdered by the company to halt his efforts at unionizing Beardsley's workforce. Their old friend entreats the investigators to come to Coppertown, N.M. to prove the accusation.

     

    The situation at the Beardsley Copper Mining Co. is much more than it seems - the Beardsley brothers, prospectors who founded the mine, are actually under the sway of a nest of Chthonians which use the area as a breeding site. In return for directing the brothers to larger and larger seams of copper ore, the Mythos creatures receive a diet of human victims and psychic energy. The missing Union organizer was one of these sacrifices.

     

    Still Waters

    Locations: Davies Landing, southern Mississippi

    Creatures: Cthulhu

    Tomes and Artifacts: Vishakhapatnam Fragment, Monstres & Their Kynde, Cthulhu Idol, Deep One Sphere, mentions of Book of Dzyan, Unausprechlichen Kulten, G'harne Fragments, Cthaat Aquadingen, Book of Darkening

    SYNOPSIS:

    The investigators are hired by a Miskatonic University professor to receive a valuable artifact donated by a collector of arcane historical items, located in the Louisiana swamps. The daughter of the obscure historian is also a former acquaintance of one of the investigators... so the pleasant trip down south will also be a reunion of sorts.

     

    The investigators' mission goes awry almost as soon as they arrive in the tiny Mississippi river town - the historian they have been sent to meet is missing, his house having been shot up by an unknown party and his butler and wife both killed. This heinous crime was committed by a pair of rival bibliophile - sisters who live just upriver of the collector's house. These sisters are no longer human, but have become Thralls of Cthulhu. In their antebellum mansion, which the historian and daughter had foolishly attempted to burgle, the investigators may locate the corpses of both and encounter the mad and monstrous sisters.

     

    Tell Me, Have You Seen The Yellow Sign?

    I opened the box. On the pink cotton inside lay a clasp of black onyx, on which was inlaid a curious symbol or letter in gold. It was neither Arabic nor Chinese, nor as I found afterwards did it belong to any human script.

    --- Robert W. Chambers, The Yellow Sign ---

    Locations: New Orleans, Carcosa

    Creatures: Byakhee, Hastur

    Tomes and Artifacts: Vishakhapatnam Fragment, The King in Yellow Play

    SYNOPSIS:

    The investigators are contacted by Etienne-Laurent de Marigny, a New Orleans occultist, and asked to investigate the murder of a reporter in that city. The man was discovered clutching a copy of a peculiar drawing, apparently some kind of occult sigil.

     

    Papa Screech, a powerful New Orleans voodoo priest, is also part of a cult devoted to the Great Old One Hastur. Although the cult was seemingly destroyed in the raid by Inspector Legrasse in 1907 (described in H.P. Lovecraft's 'Call of Cthulhu') some cultists survived and in time have hatched a new plot to summon their master to Earth. This plan involves preparing a human vessel. Screech has selected a wealthy man, Randall Fowler who is also a member of a Mardi Gras Krewe. By exposing Fowler to the nightmare play The King in Yellow the cult has duped him into not only agreeing with the plan, but also incorporating the Yellow Sign into the Krewe's decorations. A reporter from a New Orleans newspaper accidentally stumbled into this conspiracy and was murdered by a Byakhee.

    One In Darkness

    Locations: Boston

    Creatures: Nyarlathotep, in his guise as the Black Demon

    Tomes and Artifacts: N'gral Khul (Talons of the Dark), tablets of the Black Demon, Book of Eibon

    SYNOPSIS:

    Headlines in the local Boston newspapers are abuzz with details of an enormous battle between police and gangsters in the city. Casualties were extraordinarily numerous on both sides. Some days later a second odd newspaper article emerges, speaking of death threats made against two separate Boston art dealers... though, this latter story is later retracted as a hoax. On the same day the retraction appears, the Investigators are contacted by the journalist who wrote the hoax article with claims that the tale was true, but victim to a police cover up.

     

    This investigative scenario revolves around a Bostonian mob known as the Crimson Gang, and in particular around the actions of young mob leader Patrick Malone. Malone's mother, in a misguided effort to protect her boy, taught him a Mythos spell to summon 'The Black Angel', actually an avatar of Nyarlathotep. Trapped in a confrontation with the police Malone panicked and cast the spell resulting in the reported massacre. Of the fleeing gangsters, one understood what Malone had done and stole the pair of tablets which Malone's mother claimed controlled the 'Black Angel', selling them to a fence who sold them on to two separate art dealers. Meanwhile, the Black Demon still haunts the sewers of Boston and is hunting down these artifacts.

     

    Pale God, the

    Locations: Arkham, Gloucestershire, England

    Creatures: Brood of Eihort, Eihort

    SYNOPSIS:

    The investigators are contacted by telephone and asked by a frantic voice to meet immediately at the bandstand in the town square. When they arrive they meet the owner of the fearful voice, a respected young author and parapsychologist. But no sooner does he begin to unburden himself of his secret than he dies in a gruesome and spectacular fashion.

     

    The death of the occultist author is but the latest gruesome death related to the Martensen House near Arkham. The unfortunate scene witnessed by the investigators, in which the man was literally eaten from within by a horde of white spider-like things, was the final consequence of his having accepting the Bargain of Eihort. The builder of the Martensen house was a Mythos sorcerer who moved to New England from the Severn Valley area of Britain, bringing with him his worship of Eihort. Eventually he was hanged for his depredations on the local populace, ending the series of sacrifices that had kept the Great Old One quiescent. In the decades since then the house took on the reputation of being haunted, as those who lived there having met inexplicable deaths. This reputation led to at least two occultists becoming attracted to the now-empty house, seeking to make a name for themselves by uncovering its mystery.

     

    Bad Moon Rising

    Locations: Barrow-in-Furness, the Moon

    Creatures: Great Race of Yith, Hound of Tindalos

    SYNOPSIS:

    The investigators attend a scentific demonstration of precognition, at the Diogenes Club in London. At this odd event they become enmeshed in an unusual British Navy operation which is taking place in Lancashire.

     

    The Royal Navy has stumbled upon a most extraordinary discovery - a year ago, miners near St Bees discovered a Gate which opened onto a vacuum-filled chamber on the moon, causing the death of two Navy divers as part of the moon mission. Using the technology at their disposal, the Navy established a permanent base with odd pyramids surrounding it, on the other side of the gate: the HMS Selene. Unfortunately the complex which they have occupied was once built by the Great Race and is in fact a location important to that alien species, an ark of sorts carrying their knowledge into that future time when they will once again rule the Earth. The investigators encounter the beetle-like future-bug-form of the Great Race, actually part of a strange experiment into the future destiny of the Universe. Locked inside a stasis field they witness the natural death of our Universe and the birth of the next. The most disturbing realisation is that the Outer Gods and Great Old Ones survive the death of the Universe and carry on into the next.

    Somerset

    Hauptstrasse West-England

    Montag, der 16.07.1928

     

    Ihr folgt dem Automobil durch die Grafschaft Somerset.

     

    In der Stadt Bridgwater hält der Rolls kurz zum Tanken an, um dann seine Fahrt Richtung Westen fortzusetzen.

    Der Fahrer benutzt die Hauptstrasse der Ost-West-Tangente, fährt eine durchschnittliche Geschwindigkeit und macht sich anscheinend keine Sorgen darüber, ob sein Wagen von Euch verfolgt wird.

     

    Die Fahrt geht weiter Richtung Westen; ins Taunton-Deane-Tal. Eine sehr schöne, wild-romantische Landschaft voller wilder Rosen, umgeben von den Hügeln der Quantock Hills, Black Downs und Brendons.

    In der Stadt Taunton, einer sehr alten angelsächsischen Siedlung, hält der Wagen vor einer Wirtschaft an. Die drei Männer steigen scheinbar aus, um dort einen Happen zu essen.

    Das Automobil beschleunigt... wird schneller...

     

    Der Fahrer macht anscheinend keine Anstalten das Fahrzeug anzuhalten. Das Fahrzeug hält aber genügen Abstand zum Seitenstreifen, um Dich dort nicht zu gefährden.

     

    Als der Wagen an Dir vorbei fährt, kannst Du einen flüchtigen Blick auf den Mann auf der Beifahrerseite erhaschen.
