===Synopsis===
{{spoiler|While researching a secret society called the Ophites, a young medium named Pierre Corbin is kidnapped. The investigators try to locate him at his mother's request. A tip from a vagrant leads them into hidden tunnels filled with Ghouls; in confronting them, the investigators learn that they have been ousted from their former lair by cultists. Meanwhile, the investigators' patron, Jean Cabrillon, reveals that he has been invited to introduce his daughter to the grandson of Bernard Guivre, a centenarian antiquarian who was thought to have had no children. The investigation reveals that Guivre is indeed the head of the Ophite cult, worshippers of Yig, and that they were the ones who kidnapped Pierre Corbin. The group will sacrifice the young medium to the snake god in an underground lair unless the investigators can stop them. In return, Bernard Guivre will have his youth restored, reemerging into Lyonnais society as his "grandson" and marrying Jean Cabrillon's daughter as part of a later ritual to unify the powers of Yig and Shub-Niggurath over Lyon.}}

===Comments===

===Keeper Comments===

If the PCs have already completed the third scenario, dismantling the Mopses, Bernard Guivre is much more suspicious of their interest in his activities. Nevertheless, Police Inspector Vemet is more lenient with them due to their role in the previous affair.
