A Call of Cthulhu Scenario for 2-4 Investigators

By Mark Hart

The events in this scenario occur over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day any year during the 1920s, although the Keeper can set these events in other eras without much difficulty.

An urgent telegram from an old ally sends the investigators to a midwestern town in search of a stolen Mythos tome, a volume of The Revelations of Gla’aki. Once the investigators arrive, they uncover evidence someone has used the book to unleash something dark, dangerous, and ravenous upon the community.

Dear Stout Investigators,

I have another Sneak Peak into Terror Paths, my upcoming cooperative Call of Cthulhu board game, for you here. I like you to have a look at the Nightgaunt!

We are now in the final stages of development and art for the game! In fact, yesterday I just ran a fabulous playtest and the feedback was excellent.

Meet the Monster: Nightgaunt

Nightgaunts have skin that is slick and rubbery-looking, rather like the skin of a whale. They do not have faces at all but instead bear blank, unsettling surfaces on the front of their heads. It is not known how they feed, but they are able to sense things around them with perfect clarity.

Nightgaunts often serve as guards, stationed to watch over areas by powerful beings such as Great Old Ones. They always attack in flocks, often large ones. They are sometimes termed “mindless,” but actually possess intelligence of a sort. While always perfectly silent, even while flying, they can understand speech.

New Monster from Sandy Petersen’s Cthulhu Mythos for Pathfinder 2nd Edition

Check out the Gug Brute from our new Sandy Petersen’s Cthulhu Mythos for Pathfinder 2nd Edition, which you can now purchase in PDF format.

Gugs are creatures so evil that even the Mythos gods once banned them from the surface world of the Dreamlands. Their legends remind them of the tasty nature of surface-dwellers, driving them to return, and they ever strive to circumvent the gods’ ban.

Since the ban does not apply to the waking world, they appear there in increasing numbers, but an attempt by the gugs to retake their ancient holdings would make for a devastating and far-reaching conflict.

What You See
This giant, black-furred humanoid’s forearms split into two hands per arm that end in vicious claws. Its face is split by a vertical slice of a mouth, filled with razor-sharp fangs made for rending flesh.
