De Gama’s log book says he traded strange, shining
metals on the African coast. Aborigine carvings

Hormuz for three days.

Finding the Escapee
Hole in the world-I
You have heard rumours of someone who not
only has been to the Mi-go’s stronghold, but
escaped it alive. A victim of one of their cruel
experiments, this luckless individual fled
forever marked by the alien surgery.
They know where the base is, but they have
kept hidden from the Mi-go and their agents
for years, so you have little chance of finding
them. However, for the sake of the world you
have to try.

waiting for you to enter the blackness which is their
home, where they will have every advantage in
tearing this unwelcome guest apart.
In one hand you have your torch casting its feeble
light ahead, and your other holds your weapon. You
must trust in both to make it through.

Ever Their Praises and Abundances
Hole in the world-III
In the caverns below the world, you notice the walls
are run through with a thick black fibres, webbing the
entire complex. As you follow the strands deeper
into the aliens mad hive, you realize the black cords
are alive - leathery tentacles of some great beast!
When you achieve the centre, the owner of these
tendrils keens its horrific approval. Nug, the
messenger of Shub-Niggurath, the beating heart and
pumping ichor of this hive.
The Mi-go have recently fed their honoured guest
human captives, but like its mother, the thousand
maws of Nug are ever hungry.

Naked Oblivion
Hole in the world-III
At the heart of the world, you find a preview of the
fate that the rapaciousness Mi-go industries would
damn Earth to.
A void of nothingness, the utter black that remains
when all matter, all light, all energy and even reality
has been removed, a gnawing cancer that will
consume the world if the Mi-go are allowed to
continue unchecked.
As dangerous as this void is to Earth, it is just as
dangerous to the Mi-go, who keep it contained with
a dark mixture of magic and science. If you can find
the arcane knowledge needed to control the rift and
unleash its nothingness on them, their just desserts
may well save our planet.

Infinite Descent

Your stomach reels, for the narrow shaft shoots
straight down as far as the eye can see. Does it go
kilometres deep? Hundreds? To the core of the world
or the depth of madness itself? You can’t imagine
what bored the impossible hole, but it fused rock into
glass and left your Geiger counter clicking fretfully.
It is this seemingly endless descent you will have to
brave to reach the Mi-go’s operation, but the it will
require lights, climbing pitons, kilometres of strong
rope, oxygen canisters and much else besides.
You will have to beg, borrow and steal to get the
equipment to such a remote location, but at this final
hour you have no choice.

complex crashing down with it.
