The Dunwich Legacy

Past, Present and Future

Agenda. Stage 2

Mythos

Doom: 4. Clues: –

As you cross this realm, you catch occasional glimpses of reality - scenes from old memories, more recent visions from the past few days, and sometimes even events that you do not remember ever happening…

Forced - After you are moved to a location by an encounter card effect: Take 1 horror.

The Price of Failure - Back

Agenda

Shuffle the encounter discard pile into the encounter deck. Then, discard cards from the top until a location is discarded. The lead investigator resolves that location's 'revelation' effect.

Check Campaign Log. If at least one name is recorded under "Sacrificed to Yog-Sothoth," read the following:

"You hear a familiar voice calling out to you, and you enter an impossibly shaped building of cracked stone. "No… don't!" the voice cries. You rush toward the voice, down a set of steep, narrow stairs. Upon reaching the bottom, you find yourself in the hidden chamber from Dunwich. Bound by shackles, you see those you failed to save, bloodied and maimed. A creature with a man's face feeds from a corpse on the ground. The head of the corpse turns to face you, and a sharp pain stabs your heart."

Each investigator tests (X), where X is the number of names recorded under "Sacrificed to Yog-Sothoth." For each point an investigator fails by, that investigator takes 1 damage.

Quiet Halls

Agenda. Stage 1

Mythos

Doom: 7. Clues: –

Something Stirs - Back

Agenda

The university is dead silent. The shadows coil about your feet as you walk, and you swear there is something following you with each step you take. Is it just your imagination? Or is there really someone - or something - stalking you?

Each investigator with 5 or more cards in his or her discard pile takes 1 horror. Each investigator with 10 or more cards in his or her discard pile takes 2 horror, instead.

Calamity Strikes - Back

Agenda

An old pickup truck rolls to a stop along the weathered trails of Dunwich. The driver - Joe Osborn - calls out to you through a shattered driver-side window, the truck's engine still running. "IT's over at the Ericks' farm!" he shouts. "Done blasted their place apart. Poor Henry and Martha..."
You ask Osborn for the location of the Ericks' homestead, and it confirms your worst fear. For that attack to have occurred recently, there must be more of the monsters on the loose.

Shuffle the encounter discard pile into the encounter deck.

Spawn 1 of the set-aside Brood of Yog-Sothoth enemies at a random location, if able.

Restricted Access

Agenda. Stage 1

Mythos

Rolling Backwards

Agenda. Stage 3

Mythos

Doom: 4. Clues: –

The pull of the rift in the sky seems to grow stronger, and the entire train begins to roll backwards along the tracks. The rearmost cars of the train begin to rattle, the force of the rift threatening to detach them. You must get out of these cars as fast as you can!

The Essex County Express #162. The Essex County Express #4.

It's Getting Faster! - Back

Agenda

Two of the train cars closest to the gate are severed from the rest of the train by a sheet of impossibly hot steam, which slices through metal like a knife through butter. The cars are sucked upwards and fly into the gate. Something above the train lets out a terrible screech, though to your ears it is like the shrill sound of a broken steam pipe.

Remove each of the two leftmost locations from the game (or place it in the victory display if either one has Victory X and no clues on it). Each investigator at those locations is defeated. Each enemy and asset at those locations is discarded.

Discard all clues controlled by the investigators.

Shadows Deepen

Strange Disappearances

Agenda. Stage 1

Mythos

Doom: 6. Clues: –

Your welcome in Dunwich has been cold. A string of disappearances has left the already aloof townsfolk on edge. Most of them look at you with distrust, and few are willing to help in your investigation. Who knows what will happen if you don’t find the location of the missing townsfolk soon...

Rafał Hrynkiewicz

Blood on the Altar #196. Blood On The Altar #2.

First Blood - Back

Agenda

Whippoorwills gather along the gambrel roofs of Dunwich and begin to shriek in jubilation. The people of Dunwich believe that the presence of whippoorwills foreshadows somebody’s imminent death. Do they long for your death? Or is the victim someone else?

Not Fast Enough - Back

Agenda

Before you are able to act, you hear screaming from the northern side of the campus. You begin to make your way toward the screaming, your vision darkening with each step.

The Clover Club

Agenda. Stage 1

Matthew Cowdery

The Dunwich Legacy #63. The House Always Wins #2.

On the Right Track - Back

Your questioning has drawn the attention of several men - hired thugs, by the look of them. "Francis doesn't want to be bothered," one of them says. "We suggest you leave the premises before we force you to leave."

Shuffle the encounter discard pile into the encounter deck.

If the players have completed Extracurricular Activity, advance directly to agenda 2b. If The House Always Wins is the first scenario in the campaign, advance to agenda 2a.

The End of All Things

Agenda. Stage 4

Mythos

Doom: 2. Clues: –

The shape in the distance smashes through the barriers of this dimension, its many arms reaching to envelop everything you see. Its body is like an ooze, covered in eyes and mouths. You feel insignificant, like a bug, next to the creature’s terrifying grandeur.

Yog-Sothoth Attacks! - Back

Agenda

Seeking the rift from which you entered this dimension, the extradimensional horror lashes out, crushing entire realms within its grasp.

In player order, Yog-Sothoth attacks each investigator in play, regardless of Yog-Sothoth's current location. Then, flip this agenda back to its "a" side.

The Maw Widens

Agenda. Stage 2

Mythos

Doom: 3. Clues: –

The tear grows larger, and you can feel the rearmost car of the train shaking as it is pulled backwards. The situation threatens to erupt into chaos as more passengers realize the danger they are in. Some passengers are looking for places to hide, while others are running about the compartments in terror.

The Essex County Express #161. The Essex County Express #3.

Don't Stop! - Back

Agenda

The next train car is ripped backwards with violent force. A middle-aged man hangs from his fingertips as the car flies unhindered toward the rift. In moments, the car is consumed whole, and the man lets go rather than be pulled into the void. He starts to fall, but is caught by the rift's force and pulled inside it anyway.

Remove the leftmost location from the game (or place it in the victory display if it has Victory X and no clues on it). Each investigator at that location is defeated. Each enemy and asset at that location is discarded.

Discard all clues controlled by the investigators.

The Old Ones Hunger

Rafał Hrynkiewicz

Blood on the Altar #197. Blood On The Altar #3.

Matthew Cowdery

The Dunwich Legacy #64. The House Always Wins #3.

Sudden Chaos - Back

Agenda

Safe... For Now - Back

Act

You escape the club, doing your best to look inconspicuous as several cars pull up near the street. A handful of grim-faced men and women exit, running toward the restaurant's entrance to take control of the situation. One of them catches your eye, his hand on the grip of his .38, but thankfully he turns his attention back to the rest of his crew and follows them into the club. You breathe a sigh of relief...

Trip the Pattern - Back

Act

Approaching the peak of Sentinel Hill, you are confronted by several citizens of Dunwich. The man in the center of their circle chants in Latin while the others bow their heads in reverence. "Seth Bishop?" you ask presumptively. The man in the center raises his gaze in response, confirming your suspicions. You plead with the man to stop this madness, but he doesn't respond. You draw forth the silver constellation pendant you'd found on Silas's body and present it to Seth. "This is all we found of your brother," you shout over the howling wind. "Is this the fate you want for yourself? For all of us?" You throw the pendant onto the ground. Staggered by the sight of it, he stumbles backwards and trips over his incantation, eyes widened. As he falls, the altar behind him splits open, and a torrent of energy pours from the stone, swirling into an open gate that swallows the man whole. You barely manage to dig your heels in and grab hold of a nearby rock to resist the pull of the gate.

Remove the set-aside Seth Bishop enemy from the game.

Turn the Key - Back

Act

Approaching the peak of Sentinel Hill, you are confronted by several citizens of Dunwich. The man in the center of their circle lets out a crazed laugh. You recognize the man - Seth Bishop - from the description given to you by the townsfolk earlier. Behind him, several other men and women bow their heads in reverence, chanting in Latin. "We've done it!" he cackles. "We've accomplished what Old Whateley and 'is git couldn't!" You watch in revulsion as his eyes glaze over and twitch, as though he were reading something invisible. "I can see now… I can finally see!" He raises his hands to the sky and the headstone of the altar behind him splits open. A torrent of energy pours out of the stone, coalescing into the form of an open gate. Seth holds onto the stone in front of him to prevent himself from being sucked into the gate, but several of the others are startled and pulled through it. You barely manage to dig your heels in and grab hold of a nearby rock in time to resist the pull of the gate. Seth rises to his feet, wearing an expression of pride.

Put the set-aside Seth Bishop enemy into play at Sentinel Peak.

Will the Change - Back

Act

Approaching the peak of Sentinel Hill, you are confronted by several citizens of Dunwich. The man in the center of their circle is desperately trying to complete a Latin incantation. "It's not working, Seth!" one of the other men cries out. "What're we gonna do?" The man in the center stops his chant and pulls out a cobbler's knife. "The father demands a blood sacrifice," he declares, and his face twists into a crazed expression. Before you can react, he slits his left wrist with the knife, dropping to his knees in agony. The headstone of the altar behind him splits open. A torrent of energy pours out of the stone, coalescing into the form of an open gate. Seth holds onto the stone in front of him to prevent himself from being sucked into the gate, but several of the others are startled and pulled through it. You barely manage to dig your heels in and grab hold of a nearby rock in time to resist the pull of the gate. Seth rises, wounded but alive. An expression of pride spreads across his pained face.

Put the set-aside Seth Bishop enemy into play at Sentinel Peak, with 1 damage on him.

Act. Stage 1

Mythos

Clues: 4.

Chris Peuler

The Dunwich Legacy #66. The House Always Wins #5.

High Roller - Back

The Guard's Fate - Back

Act

When you enter the Restricted Hall, you find the curator of the museum clutching an ornate statue as if it were a club, his suit stained with blood, a panicked expression on his face. The security guard you saw earlier lies in a pool of blood nearby, his intestines strewn about in a grotesque display. Your stomach turns and you resist the urge to vomit. "I tried to stop it, but..." the curator says quietly, his voice quivering. Whatever did this, it’s still nearby...

Choose an investigator to take control of the set-aside Harold Walsted asset.

Search the encounter deck, discard pile, the void, and all play areas for Hunting Horror, and place it in the Exhibit Hall (Restricted Hall), ready.

Advance to Act 3a.
