MVP: Core of Cthulhu Episode 6

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…

Meeting with Russel, W has infiltrated his circle of friends, hoping to learn more about this man.

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.

Sailing from Bristol to Dakar the Epsilon Pioneer chugged away… After meeting with the scientific team aboard the ship the investigators retired for the night.

The next day they started to gather for breakfast when a scream echoed throughout the ship. Racing their way to the shower room, they discovered Luna in the shower and one of the deckhands holding her towel. Proactively Dorian strikes out and then hands the towel to Luna.

The deckhand tries to explain but no one believes him…

During the voyage, they get to know members of the crew and the scientific team more closely. Everyone seems genuinely excited and focused on the voyage to Griffin Island.

Arriving at Dakar a member of the scientific team notices that items are missing, they soon find them in the bazaar and go about retrieving the items.

After a week in Dakar, the ship once more makes its way toward South America, and closer to their voyage end!

Our 2-hour game session then ended unit next time!
