===Synopsis===
{{spoiler|A boy named Elijah Corey takes home a tarry black substance, without knowing it contains the spirit of the hyperborian arch-priest of the [[Tsathoggua]] cult, Ouriv Zalothos, who transferred his essence to the viscous substance millennia ago. Now, transferring his conscience to  Elijah's brain, Zalothos plans to complete the process that will reborn him. For that, Zalothos will need to perform a number of child sacrifices, and he forces Elijah to lace his friend's food with bits of the black ooze so he can control them. However, the initial plan fails when the infected kids start behaving wildly, causing havoc in Arkham. Zalothos second attempt will target a group of boy scouts, and a camping trip to the city's outskirts is the perfect opportunity.}}

===Comments===
The scenario contains a new spell:
* ''Swell Mind'' makes the victim's brain to swell, causing damage and, if not stopped, even death.

The scenario also contains and interesting method for tracking a person or group through while time-sensitive events are taking place. Keepers may find it useful elsewhere.
