At the Edge of Darkness... Will you do what is needed?
Call of Cthulhu | One-Shot
About the adventure
Your friend Rupert Merriweather is ill in Hospital and asks you to finish off a task they never could. The details you're given lead you to an abandoned house. Where all seems normal and as you uncover what needs to be done you find yourselves running out of time... As with all good Call of Cthulhu games there is a way out of the mess you find yourself in. Plenty of time to investigate and see encounter the locals and maybe learn a few things that could help or hinder you. You will need you to work together, before things get completely out of hand.

How will character creation work
For this short adventure we'll be using pre-made characters. Based on your ideas, I'll advise you on the ones that "fit". The character details will be shared in Discord. Should you feel the character needs extra equipment. Within reason it can be added before we start. So that any normal equipment and some weapons, so a blade and or a hand gun, is fine. Specialist weapons or equipment would need to 'fit' the character.
