General/structural comments:

It would be good if, by the end, the protagonists

have an idea of what KZ and his spawn might be,

maybe where they came from. Do they also need a

copy of the Book of Eibon

Include !hule "ociety esoteric conspiracy # vril

stuff $ne of the %ril "ociety ladies is with

&obineau's team.

(ave Ethelrod's manner of death depend on player

actions) If they spot the &erman camp, perhaps he

asks one of them what they think it is, and#or

should we go there. If *E" then &obineau kills him

there. If +$ then the &ermans follow them and

&obineau shoots Ethelrod as they approach#enter

the valley. If both these events are prevented then

&ranger gets drunk and kills Ethelrod ust after theyarrive in the valley -or the &nophKeh kills him/.

!he offspring of KZ have two forms) adult and

uvenile. !he uvenile is simply a fissile offshoot

of an adult. It's about the si0e and appearance of a

leech. $nly the uvenile can parasitise a human.

!hey take about 12 weeks inside a human to reach

adulthood.

The Horrible Truth!he archaeological site is the ruin of the lost

(yperborean city of 3ommoriom. Entombed within

it are a descendent of !sathoggua and his

amorphous, parasitic offspring.

The Spine!he team members voyage to Godthb, where they

can confront a Rival Expeditionfrom &ermany.!hey then begin their arduous overland trek in

Evighedsfjorden.

!he protagonists see strange Eskimo watching them

from afar. In addition, a confrontation with the rival

team may have deadly conse4uences.

In The Valley of ommoriom! the protagonists

can find the bodies of the last survivors of the&erman team, mysteriously burned to death.

+earby, there is a strange temple inscribed with a

history of the early prehuman settlers. $n the

valley floor, a shadow under the ice indicates the

location of the archaeological site.

!here is strange singing in the valley and the

protagonists see the elusive figures of blond

Eskimo.

Excavation leads to the discovery of an ancient

tower entombed in ice, containing the remains ofancient astronomical e4uipment.

nseasonal bli00ards harry the team as they work

and they may glimpse a strange creature in the

storm. !he problems escalate with damage to the

camp and people attacked, until the 5rotagonists

neutralise the Eskimo clan that is causing these

problems.

urther digging uncovers a stairway with a frie0e

describing a history of (yperborea and eventually

leads to a ity "nder the #cewhere the teamuncovers a device that sends their minds back in

time to the disturbing origins of life on earth and

merges them with the primordial mind of bbo

"athla.

;s they e:plore and e:cavate, the city's dormant,

parasitic inhabitants begin to awaken and infest the

intruders, leading to the $%a&ening of 'nygathin(haum.

Victory Conditions%ictory in this scenario means discovering the

nature of the site and the horror within it and

escaping alive, preferably with the site safely

sealed.

Antagonist Reactions!here are four factions of potential antagonists in

this scenario.

; private &erman e:pedition of +a0iallied

archaeologists and occultists is investigating the site

as the possible ruin of Fltima !huleG. !hey see

themselves as civilised men, and -with the

e:ception of &obineau/ will initially be inclined to

be cordial. (owever, they see the site as property of

their ancestors and themselves as it's custodians.

!hey will ruthlessly take control of the site or its

artifacts if it seems necessary. 8ikewise, they may

use violence if threatened or obstructed.

; tiny clan of latterday (yperboreans -or HBlond

Eskimo'/ lives near the coast to the west of thevalley of 3ommoriom. !he Inuit of the region shun

them for their foul religious practices. !heir

ancestral myths warn that people disturbing the

valley will awaken a giant fro0en in a city under the

ice. !hey will do their utmost to protect the valley.

!heir most effective tactic is calling a &nophKeh

to hamper the e:pedition.

6ithin the city itself, is a colony of amorphous and

parasitic entities descended from !sathoggua.

Initially dormant, they will gradually awaken, andattempt to subdue and infest human hosts, gradually

gaining control over their behaviour and using them

to attempt to awaken their leader Knygathin Zhaum

and the other spawn. 6hen sufficient numbers are

awake, they will launch a fullscale attack on the

intruders.

; fourth potential antagonist is the team member

Dr 3huck &ranger, whose alcoholism and mental

health issues may cause him to become violent

under the stresses of the e:pedition.
