This room, while bright and stark, appears a little more
cheerful than the other drab cells of the wing. A little girl in
a dressing gown sits atop a small cot, vigorously coloring
odd sheets of paper with crayons. She absently brushes long
strands of her black hair as she creates her drawings, not
stopping to look up at her new visitors.

Brushing the snow off of your longcoats, you step into a
large, opulent rotunda, bright and far more vibrant than most
of the buildings you have visited in recent days. The edges of
the pale yellow walls are gilded with shining metallics, and
the arched ceilings are decorated in a brilliant baroque style.
Despite the victory of the Revolution, it is hard to ignore the
wondrous legacy of Russian royalty that permeates every
inch of the museum.

Suddenly, a scream cuts through the air to curdle your

Worse yet, two other identical snakes, large and colorful,

This gallery is silent as the grave, with nary a soul to
be found in it. This is odd, considering all of the signs that
you saw at the museum entrance for the “Special Charlotte
Geoffrey Memorial Exhibit.” But you do not see anyone as
you enter this dimly lit wing of the museum. You just see the
collection of paintings that hangs along the walls, and the
unending sound of dripping water that echoes through the
chamber.
As you head farther into the gallery, however, you

eyes. Both tongues and eyes seem to have been torn from
this small gathering of dead men. Their faces are contorted
in expressions of utter agony.
From a dark corner, near one of the two paintings, you
hear an ominous growling sound.

Remember, my children. Remember. At night the winds
grow still, but when the dawn breaks, it awakens, and its icy
hands reach far across the earth, caressing those faithful
who respect and fear its majesty, and sinks its claws into
the unbelieving heathens. Some see an ending in our fall,
brought about by those who would betray our cause. Myself,
I only see a lesson to be learned, and a beginning. So do not
forget.
As a phoenix arising from its ashes, our rebirth shall
take place at the temple of our ancestors. The savages who
swept across the steppes and carved their legacy across
WKHODQGLQVHDVRIEORRGSOHDVHGRXU/RUGDQG0DVWHU+H
blessed their temple with his cold winds, and thought it
good. When our forefathers took the temple by force, and
devoted our lives to our Master, once more he provided his
blessing to us, and again, he deemed it good.
Now our Master sleeps, for he is disappointed with us.

to be a full house. The music coming from the orchestra
pit slowly grows louder and louder, building up to a mad
crescendo, leading ever closer to the opening of the curtain
– and then, like the cut of a razor, a howling scream cuts
through the noise of the crowd and the orchestra. Everything
falls silent, and then the screaming starts again.
The curtain falls open awkwardly. Two men in black
robes stand over one of the dancers, repeatedly stabbing her,
even though it is clear that she is already dead. Two more
robed men, holding shotguns, jump out into the audience
and into the orchestra pit, with the continuance of murder
their apparent objective. Most of the audience screams in
terror and begins to run.

since it shows the Motherland in all its raw, primitive fury.

life from you as you fall, helpless to stop the impending
horror that awaits the world. Despite your valiant efforts,
Elena and her followers have succeeded in summoning a
slumbering horror.
An unholy howl shatters the still of the ruins, screaming
its triumph to the stars themselves. Dread Ithaqua stands
in your presence. Judging from the fury etched across the
horrid face of the Great Old One, it intends to unleash its
