MVP: Core of Cthulhu Episode 5

As part of the Pegasus Engine can handle any setting challenge… I was Challenged to run Cthulhu.

So I have put together a short run adventure to take the investigators over a 3-5 session adventure.

Character creation was fun and we now have six investigators to face the unspeakable horrors that lurk on the fringes of their insanity!

The adventure is set in the 1980’s…

Russell Corey after months of research has finally made a breakthrough in his discoveries. Excited he wanted to share this in a special meeting with his close friends. One by one he contacted the investigators, inviting them to come to a dinner party that he has put together to share with them his discovery, which he claims will blow the minds of the skeptics… But the investigators when called to visit, find him murdered, which leads them on a trail of discovery.

The Epsilon Pioneer makes its way out of Bristol and starts its voyage to Griffin Island, during which the party becomes aware of a bully bullying members of the crew and being rude towards members of the party. The investigators are invited to dinner where they start to meet members of the scientific team. Fredrick makes good friends with Dr Singh and escorts her to the deck to watch the stars before she retires for the night.

As they make their way out of the docks and see that the moon is large and the stars fill the skies a dark foreboding feeling of being watched sends shivers down their spines.

All retire for the night, except for Dorian and Luna who thinks he sees something shadowy dart around a nearby corner of the ship…
