I was at the General Store in the Rivertown district of Arkham this evening and ran into a researcher from the Miskatonic University, located on the western edge of town. She introduced herself as Mandy Thompson. As we talked, she revealed to me that she enjoyed delving into esoteric tomes filled with scientific information, historical reports, and sometimes even occult ramblings.
It was while reading an old book of prophecies last week that she first felt that she had stumbled onto something big. Mandy believes that certain signs and portents described in the book are taking place in Arkham right now - omens that indicate the return of a terrible being referred to as an Ancient One, which will grind the cities of Man beneath its loathsome tread.
Tonight, the full moon has turned blood red, which is the final omen of the return of the Ancient One. Could the unexplainable deaths I've seen be connected to the things described in Mandy's readings? If there really is an evil being ready to awaken and destroy Arkham, we will do everything within our power to stop it.
She left the General Store and returned to the Library at the University to gather some things she may need in our effort to save the town. I have returned to the hospital for the same reason. Soon we will rendezvous in the street Uptown and begin our hunt.
