The Arkham Woods

Agenda. Stage 1

Mythos
Doom: 4. Clues: –
After interrogating members of the conspiracy within Arkham, you have learned that they are performing a rite of vengeance in response to the destruction of one of their master's lairs. You have entered the woods outside Arkham to try and stop them. The woods seem unnaturally cold, and filled with a deathly silence.

Core Set #143. The Devourer Below #2.

Death to the Intruders - Back

Agenda
Throughout the woods, a shrieking cry echoes. From somewhere deeper in the forest, a score of hideous voices answer the call, inhuman as the baying of hounds and yet articulate, repeating a singular name:
"Umôrdhoth... Umôrdhoth... Umôrdhoth..."

Shuffle the encounter discard pile into the encounter deck and discard cards from the top until a Monster enemy is discarded. Spawn that enemy in the Main Path. Then, place 1 doom on that enemy.

Doom: 5. Clues: –
"Umôrdhoth... Umôrdhoth... Umôrdhoth..."

The Will of Umôrdhoth - Back

Agenda
A dark presence approaches, and you are assaulted by invisible pressures that bring you to your knees. A terrible force threatens to invade your mind and soul. Your throat clenches and your eyes water as the sensation burns through you.

In player order, each investigator must test (6). Each investigator who fails must search his or her collection for a random basic Madness weakness and add it to his or her hand.

Investigating the Trail

Act. Stage 1

Mythos
Clues: 3.
The evidence you've gathered has led you to the woods south of Arkham, where you believe a ritual to summon a being called "Umôrdhoth" is about to take place. Steeling your resolve, you set forth deeper into the woods, hoping to find the site of this ritual.
Mark Molnar
Core Set #146. The Devourer Below #5.

Unveiling the Plan - Back

Act
Scattered throughout the forest you've seen glyphs and arcane sigils in various places - etched into the bark of trees, carved upon the faces of stones, and dripped in blood upon the ground. Though you cannot decipher these glyphs, you notice that most of them tend to face south. Following these signs leads you by twists and turns towards a cave in the darkest and coldest part of the forest.
As you advance, shadowy figures emerge from the trees, blocking the only path to the cave.

Put the set-aside Ritual Site into play if it is not already in play.

Search the collection for each enemy recorded in your Campaign Log under "Cultists Who Got Away," and spawn those enemies at the Main Path.

Into the Darkness

Act. Stage 2

Mythos
Clues: –
The remaining cultists have followed you into the woods to try to stop you, and now they block the path to your objective. They stand ominously beneath the overhanging trees, silent sentinels in the night. You must defeat them or sneak past if you are to gain access to the site of their ritual.

Objective - If an investigator enters the Ritual Site, advance.

The Ritual Is Broken - Back

Act
You brave the unnatural chill and weave through arcane symbols, crossing the threshold of the circle. You smother the markings on the ground, covering them with dirt, breaking apart the carefully constructed pattern of smooth rocks. A shrill noise pierces your ears as the air grows suddenly warmer, and the world distorts around you, settling into normality.
