===Comments===
{{Spoiler|
The scenario is intended as to introduce a single investigator to the campaign ''Les 5 supplices''. Designed to only take an hour to complete, the scenario introduces William Willburn, a British agent of the Chinese wizard Sayk Fong Lee. Later in the campaign, the investigators learn that Lee needs the tripod because it has fat in it from a monster that is able to animate shadows. The scenario may also introduce Georges Guédon, a French authority who also figures in the longer campaign.}}
