He asks them to settle a score with a horrible entity from beyond the bounds of this universe that lurks in an old farmhouse.They receive a metal box with the deed to the house, a key, a sarcophagus-shaped gold box of ancient design, and a journal. The professor was once a member of a student group interested in séances and ceremonies with candles and smoke, but without acceptable results. Things changed when they managed to get an old grimoire - the De Vermis Mysteriis. The group purchased a house and after many failures they finally succeeded in their experiments. The journal describes the final and disturbing ceremony performed in 1881, that summoned the nearly invisible and barely material entity from an alien dimension that the investigators have to banish now.According to the journal the entity slew one of the students, and drove another mad. Fortunately, the group leader had had the foresight to carve various special warding signs over the doors and windows, binding the creature to the house. Alas, no details of the ritual are included in the journal. Moreover, the journal makes clear that the entity will be freed once the last member of the ritual dies. And, sure enough, the professor is the only surviving member!Appears in: Core Rulebook 5th Ed., Core Rulebook 6th Ed.Best Introductory Scenario - MUST PLAY Haunting, theAppears in: Core Rulebook 2nd Ed., Core Rulebook 3rd Ed., Core Rulebook 4th Ed., Core Rulebook 5th Ed., Core Rulebook 6th Ed.

Lovecraft, The House --- Mr. CorbittCreatures: Dimensional Being, Scampering Woman-Thing, Man-Bagari (Child-Thing)SYNOPSIS:One of the investigators lives next door to a mundane-seeming neighbor, owner of a successful import/export company. One night he observes his neighbour, parking and unloading his car across the street and walking up to his house. Carrying two items out of his car he walks to the front door where he drops one that appears to be a small arm, wrapped up in the canvas. The man looks around furtively, picks it up and disappears into his house. A strange horror lives across the street. The man in the neighborhood has a dark past and some blasphemous hobbies of cadaver-theft, bizarre narcotic chemistry, and insane medical experimentation. The man's sanity is long gone, after an encounter with an avatar of Yog-Sothoth, which led to his becoming a servant of the entity, a course of events leading to the death of his wife, madness of a nurse, and a secret lurking in his basement. Using arcane skills and medical knowledge, he grows the Outer God's loathsome spawn, with agglutinations of body parts in improbable configurations. In addition, abnormal and monstrous plants fill his greenhouse and garden. The man is an engaging villain, who does not see himself as a villain, but if he becomes suspicious of the investigatory, he will use various toxins and subtle attacks to protect himself and his secrets.Now the question is, how to destroy the horror in the house without attracting the unwanted attentions of the authorities. The PlantationCreatures: Yig, Serpent People, Zombie, Humunculus The Crack'd and Crook'd ManseCreatures: Alien Slime CreatureSYNOPSIS:The investigators receive a letter asking for help in locating a missing millionaire. Their investigation takes them to a crumbling manse with a strange and sinister history. There are two tragic backstories to the house, but neither has any relevance to the main plot. They can be played up for creepiness or as specific red herrings, or sidelined. The monster is an offshoot of Shub-Niggurat. The missing man's books might contain further information on his travels, and clues to Shub-Niggurath worship in the area.Actually defeating the monster in combat is possible, but very difficult: it can attack simultaneously throughout the house, flood the entire ground floor to prevent escape, retreat into the walls to avoid serious threats, and takes minimal damage from everything but fire and salt.Clues and red herrings are liberally placed throughout this scenario, offering the GM means of helping newbies who get stuck or delaying vets who get too close to the truth too quickly. Sanatorium, theLocation: New EnglandCreature: Creature from Another WorldSYNOPSIS:A brilliant medical doctor and founder of an asylum is an old friend of the investigators and invites them to visit his remote but beautyful island. His sanatorium is exclusive for patients from rich and well-known familes. They are here to keep them away from the prying eyes of the public and the press.The doctor has tested several experimental psychotherapies and is known for a revolutionary new method of treating mental illnesses. Some of the results, published in professional journals, have brought him criticism by his colleagues, both scientists and psychiatrists. So, a few days visit with an old friend on a small island off the coast of New England seems like the ideal way for the investigators to relax, but not all vacations turn out as one would wish. The misguided doctor used therapies inspired by the Castro Manuscript. But before the investigators could questions this method the doctor is dead. When they arrive all hell is lose in the sanatorium. The inmates are running the asylum. The doctor and the staff have been horribly murdered while all inmates are roaming free. And a homicidal maniac stalks the island with an axe, searching for sacrificial victims. A night before a patient of the asylum, bedeviled by voices has opened a gate with his own blood on the wall of his cell. Through this gate came the creature from his nightmares. A semi-solid being composed of luminescent bubbles. This creature feeds on life forms until it is ready to transform to its next stage of development. Because it is highly sensitive to sunlight and salt air, it needs a servant. This servant is one of the sanatorium's staff members, who went seriously insane when he saw the creature and became its slave. He is now stalking the occupants of the island as the creature seeks nourishment from his victims. The creature stays hidden until the investigators either seek it out or fail to find it before it gets a real nasty one after it is fat up.Great scenario - highly atmospheric - MUST PLAY Mansion of MadnessCreatures: Dream Ghoul, The Thing Hanging in the Void, Crater ChildAnother missing person case, this time involving the investigators with the Boston art scene, a decidedly unusual gangster, and an old house in western Pennsylvania. The Old Damned Housein which the investigation of a jewelry theft introduces the players to an old family with an old house and an old secret. In some ways, this scenario is like a cross between "The Crack'd and Crook'd Manse" and "The Sanatorium", mixing the investigation of a creepy home with interactions between a whole cast of eccentric characters. Although reasonably satisfying, the adventure isn't quite as good as these earlier two, mainly due to slightly haphazard organization and a rushed finale. You'll probably get a few good sessions out of this one, but it may take a bit of extra preparation to get all the information you need at your fingertips and lead the story to a satisfying conclusion.Apparat only in the 2007 Edition.

London! Majestick, ineffable, and immemorial!--- H.P. Lovecraft --- Eyes for the BlindLocations: Twyford station and train, Berkshire, Cornwall, London, Avebury, Silbury Hill, gypsy fairgroundsCreatures: Zombie, The Green ManTomes and Artifacts: NecronomiconSYNOPSIS:A gentle breeze wafts across Platform Five of Twyford Station. You wait for the ten o'clock train for Henley-on-Thames, for soon the Henley Royal Regatta begins. Attending the regatta is in high fashion, and patronized by royalty. Not only tremendously entertaining, the regatta is an important meeting-place of contacts, both business and casual. The train arrives bearing a single first-class car, as usual for runs during the regatta. Everyone files aboard, takng their seats, and the journey begins. Clacking rails pass below. A tunnel approaches, quiet darkness falls, and two men die - a blind man and a stockbroker. A cabal of sorcerers, lead by a 450 year old wizard who lives with a gypsy fair, has plans to raise the Dulcarnon - the 'intermediary life-spirit of Britain'. Their plans involve the construction of an effigy called The Green Man, which will house a part of the spirit when it is awakened. The murder on the train is a part of these nefarious plans, and by investigating the odd deaths the investigators become drawn into a complex trail of clues across several different parts of Britain. The ancient wizard has an unusual magical ability: while his body is severely aged and frail, he can see through the eyes of any of an army of (apparently blind) zombie corpses which are slaves to his will. Thus, as the characters pursue their investigation they have an odd collection of mysterious blind men with tinted spectacles closely following their movements.The scenario is suitable for vets only.Surprises even hardened Cthulhu players - RECOMMENDED The Menace from SumatraLocations: LondonCreatures: The Thing from BeyondSYNOPSIS:A blind man dressed in rags stumbles into Hyde Park police station and expires in front of the investigators, but not before exhorting them to 'save Susan'. The strange blue vapour surrounding the man, as well as the fact that he possesses no eyeballs, compels them to investigate further. On a recent expedition to the Western coast of Sumatra, a pair of British scientists discovered a strange blue fungus, associated with a Mythos god called Vibur. While one of the principals seemed to fall under the terrible influence of the primitive natives the other fled with his wife, afraid for their lives. They made their way back to London, but unbeknownst to them they were pursued by Granger with a contingent of cultists and their god. Ultimately these unpleasant forces captured the unfortunate scientist, infecting him with the terrible spores of the fungus. His wife managed to escape such a fate, but became amnesiac from the shock, and is still wandering the streets of London in confusion. The infected scientist, Windebank, ultimately escaped his captivity only to expire in the police station during the opening scene of the adventure. Lord of the DanceLocations: London Underground, Cornwall, Thaxted, TollesburyCreatures: Byakhee, Dimensional Shambler, Zoog, Hound of Tindalos, The ChildSYNOPSIS:Dorothy Amis, a relative or acquaintance of the investigators, has suddenly become 'bereft of reason' for no apparent cause. So bad is her condition that she has been confined to a private nursing home in Kent. Discovered huddled in an unfinished tunnel which forms part of the London Underground, questions have obviously been asked as to the circumstances behind her curious madness. It is up to the investigators to unearth the truth. The previous attempt to summon the Dulcarnon - the 'spirit of Britain' - was thwarted in Eyes For The Blind, but not all of the cabal of sorcerers were defeated. David Smythe, a survivor, is trying once again to bring part of this mystical spirit into the world although in a less ambitious fashion. His plan involves channelling a portion of the Dulcarnon into a painter called Fewkes with the expectation that the artist will be able to both wield its power and form the template for an army of beings under Smythe's control. Unfortunately, the initiation of Fewkes was witnessed by Dorothy Amis, whose sanity was so shaken that she was confined to a nursing home. In the meantime, Fewkes' body has been moved to Cornwall and his mind and soul are imprisoned somewhere in the Dreamlands.all.

Each guest has, in some way, crossed the host, although their disputes may seem trivial. The eccentric theatrical genius, Anthony Carmichael, whose controversial career has taken a downturn leading to an emotional breakdown discovered the blasphemous play, The King in Yellow, while in therapy. His madness deepened, instead of resolving. Along with enough cunning he managed his release, and plans a grand performance at his gala, a masquerade ball, that will be an artistic triumph that will also wreak horrible revenge on his imagined oppressors. The mansion is now isolated by a space-time bubble evoked by the influence of the King. At the moment when the lights go out, the party stops, and a game of hide-and-seek begins at the mansion rapidly turning into serial murders as mad Carmichael seeks his horrible revenge. The surviving partygoers are eventually led, by the subtle shifting of the mansion, to the library, where they find a copy of the King in Yellow and read it. This transports the investigators into the madness of Carcosa itself and takes them to the verge of cosmic madness. In Carcosa they journey to a tall tower, atop which the Yellow King lies inert on a throne. They may attempt to banish the King, or close some of the dimensional windows to Earth. Assuming they are not trapped in Carcosa by these actions, they return to the mansion and find Carmichael leading a performance of The King in Yellow. If they prevent this, normality is restored.The first parts of the scenario are like a Vincent Price movie along with a slasher film.The scenario does have a resemblance to parts of the first act of the 'Tatters of the King'-Campaign and could be incorporated into this campaign.Twisted and creepy scenario - RECOMMENDED Songs of Fantari, theSYNOPSIS:An Italian nobleman calls the investigators to his Mediterranean island to look into the disappearances of local fishermen whose boats were found adrift without obvious signs of trouble. Unsurprisingly, as talking to the locals, and examining some murals reveals, this is the work of Deep Ones, who capture the investigators, and drag them off to enjoy being dissected, raped, tortured, experimented upon and then eaten. Eventually, they may escape from this, after undergoing a variety of unavoidable sanity-stripping experiences.Caution! Hot Button Issues! Lurker in the Crypt, theSYNOPSIS:A necromantic undertaker, and his centuries-old mother Agatha, grisly serial-murders in New York, a spooky cemetery and suspicious funeral home, and of course, miles and miles of sewer, storm drain and catacomb beneath Manhattan. A horrifying subterranean society of Ghouls, Zombies, Deep Ones, a Star Vampire, a Cthonian, Nyogtha, and a number of powerful sorcerers and cultists is revealed to the investigators. A death-trap awaits those foolish enough to descend beneath ground level.

Lovecraft --- Spawn, theLocations: Coppertown, New MexicoCreatures: Chthonian, Child of YigTomes and Artifacts: radioactive Elder SignSYNOPSIS: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.

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.

Chambers, The Yellow Sign ---Locations: New Orleans, CarcosaCreatures: Byakhee, HasturTomes and Artifacts: Vishakhapatnam Fragment, The King in Yellow PlaySYNOPSIS: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.Tell Me, Have You Played This Beautiful Horrifiying Scenario? - RECOMMENDED One In DarknessLocations: BostonCreatures: Nyarlathotep, in his guise as the Black DemonTomes and Artifacts: N'gral Khul (Talons of the Dark), tablets of the Black Demon, Book of EibonSYNOPSIS: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, theLocations: Arkham, Gloucestershire, EnglandCreatures: Brood of Eihort, EihortSYNOPSIS: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 RisingLocations: Barrow-in-Furness, the MoonCreatures: Great Race of Yith, Hound of TindalosSYNOPSIS: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.
