===Synopsis===
{{spoiler|Suspecting the members of a secret society called the Mopses may have stolen part of l'Elucidaire, the investigators attend one of the group's public balls and rub elbows with Lyon's blue bloods. Their inquiries reveal higher levels of initiation within the group, which the investigators must either be accepted into or find people willing to talk about. They eventually discover that the Mopses partake in dark rites in the woods, "Sabbaths" devoted to the Horned Man, an avatar of Nyarlathotep. The investigators must interrupt the next sabbath to prevent an innocent child from being sacrificed, to recover the lost portion of the book they are after, and to dismantle the cult once and for all. They find that this portion of l'''Elucidaire'' contains instructions for rituals devoted to Shub-Niggurath that require participation by a newlywed couple.}}

===Comments===

===Keeper Comments===

If the investigators have stopped the [[Ophites]] already in "[[Ouroboros]]," they have become local celebrities in Lyon. Aware that they took down a rival cult, the Mopses never admit them beyond the first rank of the organization. However, gaining the trust of former Mopses is easier, as is convincing Inspector Vernet to help them out.
