The Last Gate Closed

I left the church and went to the nearby Historical Society. I found a couple of things. The first was a parchment with the word "Cthulhu" on it, which was the same thing the man in the jail cell at the Police Station had said. That must be the name of the Ancient One threatening Arkham. The second thing I found would be dealt with at a later time.

Mandy stepped through the gate in the City of the Great Race and returned to Arkham through the gate in The Woods. She was met by the Flying Polyp. What would have driven many people insane, had little effect on Mandy. But the monster's intense horror did cause her to hesitate a moment at the scary sight. She knew her sabers wouldn't be very effective against this monster, so she pulled out her flask of holy water and threw it on the monster. The monster gave an otherworldly shriek and dissolved before her. Part of the thrashing monster flung on her and burned her arm, but that was a small price to pay for defeating the evil creature. She picked up a small intact part of it's shell and put it in her bag. With that unpleasantry out of the way, she began the procedure for closing the gate. A moment later, the last gate was gone...
