 INTRODUCTION
ADVENTURE INTRODUCTION
Another message has arrived for you from
your contact Matigan Brennan. You open
the magical box and read the letter.
This one is quite vague, I’m afraid. One of
my eyes and ears passed through the town of
Sloughsbottom, and she kept returning to the
phrase that something just isn’t quite right
going on there. She managed to have a very
brief meeting with the lord of the town,
Percival Winchross. This sketchy character
mentioned a group of thugs stirring up some
form of unrest, but the details of these
problems never materialized. I’m not sure
what to make of this, but if you indeed feel like
looking into this, I’ve attached a map for you
to follow. Lord Winchross lives on top of the
highest hill in town. I doubt you’ll miss it.
Either way you choose, best of luck to you
as always. Be safe.
M.
LOST 4
NOTES - This adventure is based upon the
strange, alien race of Mi-go, created by the author
H. P. Lovecraft. The stats for these creatures have
been credited and have been branched out to form
four difficulty levels of Mi-go that the DM/GM
may choose or mix together to provide the
greatest challenge for the PCs. The DM/GM is
encouraged to adjust these stats as needed to best
fit their campaign. If the PCs decide to visit the
strange town of Sloughsbottom, read the
following to the players.
_______________________________________
As you enter the village, you notice that
Winchross Manor does indeed stand atop a hill
in the distance. You make your way through
Sloughsbottom and find the tiny fishing town
to be surprisingly well kept despite its odd
name. Shacks are currently being rebuilt into
much more accommodating structures,
children are playing in the street, and the town
does not seem to breed any unsavory or unruly
types. Everything seems pretty productive in
the little village, and the townsfolk look to be
going about their day with a true sense of
purpose. It looks like this town is pulling
itself up by its bootstraps for the better.
 THE OBELISK FROM BEYOND
You cross the town square where three sparsely
stocked vendor wagons have been set up. A
black obelisk five feet at its base and 10 feet tall
stands in the center of these merchants. Even
from your current distance, the smooth,
obsidian object gives off an undeniable
warmth, and a low-pitched hum constantly
emanates from the structure. The vendors
surrounding this obelisk are a butcher, an
alchemist, and a weapons dealer. They are all
standing silent near their wagons awaiting new
customers. The butcher walks up to you as he
polishes one of his blades. The stout man’s tone
is friendly, if not slightly paranoid.
“You must be the lot that Percival Winchross
sent for. I hope you lot are worth more than
the other ones. Well, he lives up there, just
atop that hill. Good luck. Man’s as mad
as a quacker.”
The butcher points to the manor house with
one of his blades.
_______________________________________
NOTES - The obelisk is the source of the town’s
problems. This is an alien pillar that is used by
LOST 5
the alien race of Mi-go, that are using the struc-
ture to turn the town into more Mi-go creatures.
The obelisk is of a strange and very durable metal
that, while not easy to damage, can indeed be
destroyed. The obelisk has the following stats.
OBELISK FROM BEYOND (5 feet diameter)
Hardness 20
Hit Points 2,400
Break DC 50
The obelisk turns people into Mi-go within one
week’s passage of time. The first two days that
anyone is exposed to this obelisk are harmless.
On the third day, however, and every day
thereafter, anyone that has been within 100 feet
of the obelisk for an hour or longer must make a
successful DC 15 Will save. Any failed saves will
transform all victims into the aliens known as
Mi-go. This is the way that Mi-go operates to
take control of an entire city or town. All
transformations are irreversible once the
process has begun.
If this object is destroyed, the town will no longer
be victims of the powers of the obelisk and the
Mi-go creatures.
 Lord Percival Winchross
You make your way up the hill and soon stand
before the house. Winchross Manor is a tall,
white estate, standing out brightly against the
dark, grey sky. The heavy black door has a
large iron knocker that you make use of. Upon
knocking, you immediately hear scuttling
inside and a frantic muffled voice yelling,
“I’m coming! Dash it all! I’m coming!”
The door is slowly pulled open by a gangly old
man wearing an off-kilter, powdered wig.
The man greets you.
“Norman usually handles the door, but he’s
gone to join the rabble like the rest of them.
Ungrateful... ingrates.”
With a shove, the slender man manages to pry
the door all the way open.
“Well, come on in then, and wipe your feet.
I don’t have a maid anymore, you know.”
The man introduces himself as Percival
Winchross, Lord of Sloughsbottom.
He asks if you would each like a cup of hot tea.
LOST 6
Without waiting, the strange old man heads for
the kitchen and returns shortly with tea for all.
“I suppose you’ve seen them down there.
Busy little bees. They’ve decided to not pay
their taxes, you know. This isn’t how the system
is supposed to work. Not at all. You’ll go set
them right then, yes?”
With a guilty smirk upon his face, Winchross
sheepishly admits that he has lured you in
under slightly false pretenses and explains that
there is no gang of thugs, but that he is certain
that the townspeople are up to something.
He continues to explain that he never sees them
doing anything but working from morning to
night. To make matters worse, he sent the town
guards to investigate his hunch and the
guardsmen haven’t been seen since.
Apologetic for his little white lie, Winchross
asks if the missing guardsmen and strangely
acting villagers are reason enough for you to
investigate. He tells you that the best person to
start with would probably be Hogarth Whiley.
Hogarth is the proprietor of a modest tavern at
the edge of town. Hogarth’s tavern goes by the
 MEETING WHILEY HOGARTH
name of OLDE HOAG’S and is less than a mile
from Lord Winchross’ home.
Returning to the streets, your party sees that
the sun is starting to set. Like ants returning
to an anthill, the townsfolk quickly and
steadily begin filing back to their respective
homes, with several making their way
toward the tavern.
Passing back through the town square to
investigate the tavern, you see that the three
vendor booths are still where they were an hour
ago, but they are now unmanned. Odder still is
that their wares are still there, and haven’t been
packed up or secured in any way. It is then that
you notice that the items that the vendors were
claiming to sell are little more than props. The
blades and armor are dull and poorly made tin
props. The potions are just bottles of colored
water, and the meat is carved and painted
wood. Everything about the contents in the
merchant wagons are fakes. The only thing
maintaining its original appearance from
earlier is the black obelisk that looms above
you, humming louder and giving off heat
stronger than it was over an hour ago.
LOST 7
You decide to abandon the town square and
continue to Olde Hoag’s Tavern.
As you enter the tavern, all eyes turn to you
and then back to a fat man with long hair who
is tending the bar. There is dead silence as you
make your way up to the bar. The fat barkeep
wears a shaggy beard concealing his round
facial features, and his movements seem a little
stilted and twitchy as if he has severe pain
in his joints.
“Help ye?” The fat barkeep asks.
“My name’s Whiley. Hogarth Whiley - owner
and operator of this tub.”
The patrons return to their drinks. Some
drink beer from mugs, but some are drinking
a strange-looking blue liquid from clear wine
glasses. No one seems rowdy or drunk,
however. It’s the tamest tavern you’ve ever seen.
_______________________________________
NOTES - If a member of the party orders a drink,
they are served with glasses of ordinary water, no
matter what they’ve ordered. If the PCs inquire
about the blue liquid, Whiley says that the drink
is for locals only and that the PCs should be
 THE CRAZY DROPS A HINT
grateful for the water that they were served.
Any attempts that the PCs make to get a real
drink or their money back will be met with
further rudeness and refusals. Any attempt to
rough up Whiley will be met with the entirety of
the bar’s patrons encroaching on the party. The
patrons will not harm the PCs, but they will
attempt to politely escort the adventurers from
the tavern and lock them out.

Outside, night has fallen, and from around the

corner of the bar, you hear a shuffling. A
foul-smelling, half-crazed man wearing a
rotted, hooded robe ducks behind a bush.
The strange man speaks, his face hidden by
the wrappings of his filthy garments.

Closer you get to the black needle the worse it

Meeeee gooooo! Me go!”
The deranged man then screams a shrill shriek
and runs off into the night, leaving you to
decide what to do next.
_______________________________________
NOTES - If the PCs break into the tavern after
it closes, the PCs will soon realize that the
establishment is indeed empty and a few bottles
of the mysterious blue liquid sit upon the bar.
If any party member drinks the liquid, he/she
will immediately see strange astral visions of
worlds covered in fungus, seas of red, and skies
filled with swirling, ever-changing colors.
Behind the bar is a trap door cut into the floor.
This trap door leads to area 1 on the map
provided. If the PCs decide to take this route,
read the following to the players.
_______________________________________
1. ENTRY CHAMBER -
You search behind the bar and find a secret
hatch cut into the floor. You follow the
LOST 9
passage beyond the trap door and make your
way down a set of moss-covered steps and enter
into a circular room 40 feet in diameter. The
walls are smooth and perfectly carved from the
rock, and the walls themselves generate heat.
The material of the walls is identical to the
material that the obelisk in the town square is
made of. Crude artworks drawn in chalk adorn
the walls. The scenes depicted on the walls are
all the same. Human beings splitting in half
with giant flying insects emerging from the
once human cocoons. There are images of the
creatures taking canisters with human brains
through time and space. The largest image
shows one of the creatures sliding into the limp
skin of a human as if it were a winter coat.
The longer your party looks upon this mural,
the more uneasy you feel. A 10-foot wide
hallway extends north.
_______________________________________
2. TWO STRANGE GUARDIANS -
You head north and see another passageway
that extends east into an oval-shaped room
with two guards talking amongst themselves.
Both of the men appear to be human, but one
has a jerky gait very much like the barkeep
 THE GIBBERING THINGS
Hogarth Whiley. This man’s mannerisms are
even more pronounced, however. Almost as if
his body were working entirely against his own
will. The more normal man continues with his
conversation with his peculiar partner.
“Oi, mate. Wot’s it like, then? Bein’ up there
in the stars and all? You say you’re gonna take
the lot of us there, but you don’t say ‘ow. An’ I
notice you look an awful lot like Jerald from
down the way. You take ‘im already, then?”
“Ckkkk! You assssk too many quesstionks,”
replies the jerking guard in a voice that is not
entirely human. “All will be revealed.
Jussst. Ckkckcck do as you are asked.”
“Ay now, no ‘arm meant by it. I was just
wond’rin’ is all. Ya tell us we got a better life
comin’. No Winchross boots ta lick.
No worryin’ about food or money, then me
mates all go missing only to be replaced by
blokes who look like me mates but aren’t.”
“Doooon’t you trust your Hogarth? Hasss he
not led you to prosssperity?”
“That’s just it. Hogarth used to be the town
drunk. Now ‘e’s the one callin’ the shots. I
mean, I reckon he’s probably one a you fellas
too an’ you just got him done up real.”
With no warning, the jerking guard with the
hideous voice swings his sword at the neck
of the questioning guard, immediately
decapitating him. The guard’s body falls
lifelessly to the floor in a bloody heap.
Shortly after, the jerking guard’s body suddenly
seems to be bursting at the seams, straining
against something forcing its way from the
inside out. Suddenly his flesh rips open and a
horrific creature bursts out like some kind of
nightmarish butterfly emerging from a
LOST 11
giant cocoon of flesh. The creature’s
disgusting form resembles something between
a fleshy insect and a fungus. It gives its bat-like
wings a stretch as it reaches for the recently
severed human head and gingerly picks it up in
its crabby pincers. The thing then grabs a hold
of the dead guard’s body and proceeds to drag
the corpse towards the hallway.
_______________________________________
NOTES - This is the first Mi-go that the PCs
encounter. This alien intends to drag the corpse
to area 4.
_______________________________________
3. THE GIBBERING THINGS -
You peer into a pitch-black room from down
the hall. A strange whispering emerges from
the darkness. There is a brief pause, and
seconds later, more whispers answer the first
whisper. The whispers then increase in number
and volume and occasionally you can almost
make out a conversation being shared between
several individuals. The garbled
conversation gets even louder and more
garbled. You feel chills run up and down your
spine as the unintelligible argument continues,
growing louder and louder. Several different
languages are being spoken at once, yet you
still are unable to understand a single word.
The cacophony of intermingled voices gets even
louder now, almost impossibly loud. So loud
that your eardrums nearly burst. Just when you
think your sanity is slipping completely away
from you, a hideous mass of oozing and
undulating flesh, veins, and organs appears
from the darkness. A collection of shifting
faces, ears, and eyes pop out of the thing’s
slimy surface. You barely stifle an involuntary
scream as the thing finally utters its first intel-
ligible word. The thing croaks the same word
from scores of wretched, hideous mouths.
“PREYYY!!”

NOTES - Depending on the experience level

_______________________________________

4. ROOM OF HEADS AND BODIES -

Before you enter into this room, you can smell
blood from around the bend. You peer into the
room and see a total charnel pit filled with
mutilated bodies and severed heads. There are
at least two dozen dead bodies oozing blood.
The blood trickles down to the center of the
room and down a gristle-stained iron drain.
Your eyes settle on a chilling but familiar sight.
You stare in disbelief as the butcher you met
hours ago stares back at you with lifeless eyes.
His head roughly torn from his neck. A look
of undeniable horror permanently etched
upon his face.
_______________________________________

NOTES - This is where the Mi-go are hiding the

bodies of the villagers they have slain. The Mi-go
has neglected to loot any of the bodies of the
slain townsfolk because human treasures are
meaningless to them. A grisly search of the
bodies reveals the following treasures.
300-1,200 cp, 250-1,000 sp, 150-600 gp, 50-200
pp, 3 short swords, 5 daggers, two hand crossbows
with 23 bolts, 6 war darts, a FLAIL +1, and the
town butcher’s long, serrated butcher’s knife.
_______________________________________
5. UNGODLY THINGS -
You open the double doors and gaze into a
dimly-lit room. The oval-shaped room has
passages branching off in all four cardinal
directions and the room is lit by a single torch
mounted in the north wall. Something very
large moves in the darkness. A hideous,
tentacled creature flies toward you with
alarming speed.
NOTES - This is the Mi-go’s guardian named
Etchzastathafar. It has one job - to kill and eat
anything that is not of the Mi-go race that
enters this chamber.
_______________________________________
6-7. OTHERWORLDLY HOUNDS -
Several large and otherworldly hound-like
creatures pace to and fro within this small,
circular room. The hounds look starved.
Something vaguely resembling hope
crosses over their misshapen faces. In an
instant you realize that the look of hope on
the strange hounds’ faces is not affection for
seeing other living things in this dungeon, the
look is from extreme hunger. The hounds emit a
bark that is a cross between a large wolf growl
and a thing that is in terrible pain. The hungry
hounds eagerly race towards their next meal.

8. MI-GO GUARDS & BRAINS! -
Before opening the door to this room, you hear
muffled screams and pleas for help, mercy, and
of anger. On entering the room, you see rows
of brains in glass canisters on shelves lining the
walls. The screams are coming from the brains
themselves. Several giant insect-like creatures
skitter and scrape across the grimy floor
tending to the dozens of screaming brains.
The insect creatures notice you enter and
move in with alarming speed to attack with
their razor-sharp pincers.

9. MI-GO EGG NEST -
You are met with a pair of closed double doors.
Behind the doors, heavy skittering sounds can
be heard. The doors are not locked, and you
cautiously open the portals. On the other side
of the door, you see several of the insect
creatures. The creatures do not notice you as
they are carefully tending to their offspring.
Stacked neatly against the warm, vibrating
metal walls are the eggs of the creatures.
Hundreds and hundreds of eggs fill the room.
A writhing, pulsating pillar of slimy moss
extends from tendrils from the floor and up
and through the ceiling 20 feet in the air.
The creatures are alerted to your presence.
Fleshy tendrils writhe on their bodies and they

of the creatures move to protect the hundreds

you, their crab-like pincers extend and snap

NOTES - The “mossy pillar” extends up through
the town square directly beneath the black metal
obelisk. The powers of the obelisk can be negated
much easier if the PCs destroy this fungal power
source that is feeding the obelisk. The pillar is
AC 8 and has 200 hit points.
After defeating the Mi-go, the adventurers may
choose to destroy the eggs, and the PCs may also
take an egg or two to be studied. In the former
case, the destruction of all of the eggs, as well as
the black obelisk, will stop the alien Mi-go
infestation. The PCs could sell Mi-go eggs as

end up doing the right thing. Each buyer will
pay the PCs a base price of 1,000-4,000 gp for
the first egg, and 100 for each additional egg. No
individual buyer will accept more than 10 eggs.
There may also be an opportunity for one (or all)

10. VIVISECTION ROOM -
In the room beyond, you see what looks like a
medical auditorium. In the center of the room,
a heavy-set man with his back to you is
vivisecting a human man who is still very much
alive but is not struggling. In the auditorium
seating above, there are several of the insect
creatures watching the gruesome operation.
Surgical snips can be heard as the mad doctor
works on the man’s torso. You watch in
horror as the surgeon places the man’s liver
 CONCLUSION
onto a nearby metal tray using a pincer instead
of a hand. The surgeon-thing makes a clicking
chittering noise as he performs this gruesome
action. Slowly, the suffering man turns his head
to you. His eyes red and wet from tears, blood
streaming from his mouth, he manages to
articulate a single word,

“Help.”

“Well,” Hogarth says, not bothering to turn

around. “It appears we have some company.
Come to enjoy the show?”

Hogarth cleanly snips off the eviscerated man’s

head and it falls to the floor with a sickening
thud. The mouth of the severed head gulps like
a fish out of water for several seconds before We at DARK BY DEZIGN sincerely hope that
becoming still. you have learned to curb your cravings for fried
Mi-go eggs.
“Waste of a good brain, but I do enjoy the
dramatic effect. Drop your weapons, lads.
Your time has come to an end.”

Hogarth turns around. He is now half-man and

half insect. The thing that was once Hogarth
moves in to attack. The creatures in the
auditorium above climb down to join the fray.
_______________________________________

NOTES - The PCs must provide proof that the

disturbing forces that Lord Percival Winchross
suspected - have indeed been vanquished once
and for all. Doing so will prompt Lord Winchross
to ask the town to take up a collection of whatever
they could offer in thanks for such a noble effort.
This could truly be the greatest “pot luck” treasure
trove payoff in history, and the details are to be
determined by the DM/GM.

This concludes the short adventure THE

PEASANTS HAVE LOST THEIR MINDS.
