Discard all but the last 5 cards from the encounter deck. The investigator with the most cards in his or her play area must draw the topmost Witch enemy in the encounter discard pile.

Check Campaign Log.

- If Anette Mason is possessed by evil, (→R3).

- If Carl Sanford possesses the secrets of the universe, (→R4).

- If it is act 1, spawn the set-aside Nahab in Walter Gilman's Room.

- If it is act 2, spawn the set-aside Nahab in Keziah's Room.

- If it is act 3, place 1 doom on Nahab.

Shuffle both set-aside copies of Ghostly Presence into the encounter deck.

Find Brown Jenkin (even if he is out of play) and place him in Nahab's current location.

Each Cultist enemy commits ritual suicide. Discard each Cultist enemy in play and move all doom from them to Azathoth.

The lead investigator must search the encounter deck and discard pile for a copy of Daemonic Piping and draw it.

There is no longer an agenda deck, but the scenario is not over. Until the end of the scenario, doom that would be placed on the current agenda is instead placed on Azathoth, and all doom in play is considered to be on Azathoth.

You come across another circle of Azathoth's worshippers, led by a hooded, shapeless form which holds an ancient lantern high above its head. The lantern's dim grey light scarcely pierces the realm's darkness. Somehow, the phantom is familiar to you; some vague sense of kinship drives you onward.

Check Campaign Log. If Corn Husk Doll is listed under "Mementos Discovered," the creature recognizes you, as well. It peers at you curiously, and the circle of prayer is silenced; remove 1 doom from Azathoth. Otherwise, the creature barely notices you, and the circle resumes its chanting.

Flip each location to its Spectral side.

Put the set-aside The Spectral Watcher enemy into play at Hangman's Brook.

Shuffle the remainder of the set-aside The Watcher encounter set into the spectral encounter deck, along with the spectral discard pile.

If Brown Jenkin is in play, search the encounter deck and discard pile for a Swarm of Rats and spawn it in Brown Jenkin's location. If Brown Jenkin is not in play, search the encounter deck and discard pile for him and spawn it in the lead investigator's location.

Additionally, if there are 3 or 4 investigators in the game, search the encounter deck and discard pile for a Swarm of Rats and spawn it in any Witch House location.

Discard the top 5 cards of the encounter deck. In player order, each investigator must draw a Cultist enemy discarded in this way.

Shuffle the encounter discard pile into the encounter deck.

Check the "Missing Persons" section of the Campaign Log. If at least 1 character was "taken by the watcher," read the following:

Beyond the spectral mist, an awful scream resounds through the woods. It is distant, as though heard through a pane of glass, but distinct enough for you to know it is real.

For each character who was taken by the watcher, place 1 resource on The Spectral Watcher, as a stolen soul (even if The Spectral Watcher is currently out of play).

Until the end of the scenario, The Spectral Watcher gains the following text: "For each stolen soul on The Spectral Watcher, it gets +1 fight and +1 health." Keep this card next to the agenda deck as a reminder, and advance to agenda 2a.

Each surviving investigator is defeated and must search the collection for a random basic Omen or Curse weakness and add it to his or her deck. Each investigator who cannot suffers 1 mental trauma instead.

- If it is act 1 or 2, set Nahab aside, out of play, and place 4 doom on agenda 4a as it enters play.

- If it is act 3, place 1 doom on Nahab.

Each Cultist enemy commits ritual suicide. Discard each Cultist enemy in play and move all doom from them to Azathoth.

The lead investigator must search the encounter deck and discard pile for a copy of Daemonic Piping and draw it.

Endless walkways and steps of black stone are the only routes which guide you to your destination. It is an impossible maze to navigate.

Check Campaign Log. If Gilman's Journal is listed under "Mementos Discovered," you are able to find you way. Otherwise, you become hopelessly lost; each investigator must either move to the location to his or her left, or move the placement of his or her location once to the left (placing an empty space in the spot it previously occupied). A location cannot move more than once via this effect.

If you advanced by defeating Anette Mason:

"Stop!" the coven's leader yells in a commanding voice, grimacing from the wounds you've inflicted. You're not sure if she's speaking to you or to the hooded women surrounding you, but regardless, there is a sudden stillness in the clearing around the circle

(→R1)

A loud crack echoes throughout the woods as you break the circle and reverse the witches' spell. "No! They have broken the ritual!" one of the witches screams as the spell's energy backfires. White-hot lightning strikes the center of the field, sending dirt and debris flying in every direction. You duck for cover.

(→R2)

(→R1)

Reveal The Geist-Trap location. Move each investigator at an Unvisited Isle location to The Geist-Trap.

Check Campaign Log. If the witches' spell was cast, spawn the set-aside Anette Mason at The Geist-Trap. If the witches' spell was broken, spawn 1 set-aside Coven Initiate at The Geist-Trap (2 instead if there are 3 or 4 investigators in the game).

Shuffle each remaining set-aside Witch enemy into the encounter deck, along with the encounter discard pile.

- If it is agenda 4, find Nahab (even if she is out of play) and place her at the Site of the Sacrifice. Move each doom from agenda 4a to Nahab.

Find Brown Jenkin (even if he is out of play) and place him in Nahab's current location.
