==Summary==
"Dead Light: Surviving one night outside of Arkham!" The storm had been brewing for days and now it hits on a lonely stretch of counry road through the wooded hill country north of Arkham, just as the investigators are passing through! Combined with restless, idle youth and the desire for easy money, something has been released out there amid the darkness, the howling wind, and lashing rain, something unnatural: the Dead Light. A 1920s Call of Cthulhu encounter taking place over one dark and stormy night, set north of Arkham, in which the investigators stray into the hunting grounds of a newly unleashed terror from beyond, and may not live to see the morning.

===Synopsis===
Dead Light is a short, encounter-based scenario for Call of Cthulhu set in Lovecraft Country during the 1920s. It involves the investigators quite literally running into a chain of unnatural and nightmarish events that are a threat both to the lives and sanity of all who are entangled in them. Essentially an exercise in Lovecraftian-flavored survival horror, the scenario takes place during a dark and stormy night on a lonesome road outside Arkham, and its course (in narrative time) lasts for the duration of that storm—some several hours at the least or until the dawn at most. Although there is option to investigate the whys and wherefores of what is happening, ultimately the investigators’ chief goal will be to survive the night. Engaging with the unfolding events, rather than fleeing from them, will likely be the best path to ensuring survival.
