The screenwriter had inadvertently made use of a spell to summon a Hound of Tindalos he had found in a copy of Nameless Cults. The investigators must determine just what happened and stop the film from going ahead, without bringing the Hound down upon themselves.

			The copy of Nameless Cults mentioned in the scenario is not available for player consultation. If they investigate they will find that it has been stolen from the bookshop. Following up this theft was intended to form part of a future scenario or scenarios by the author that were either never written or remain unpublished.}}
