Synopsis

 Spoiler Section (Highlight to Read)
The cause of the earthquakes are the actions of a former cultist turned Ghoul who is trying to drive the people in the area away so that the region may be turned into a center of cultist activity for the purpose of raising Cthulhu.

In the original magazine version of the scenario, there is less information about what is inside the abandoned farm, the PCs find. The hole containing the copy of The Revelations of Glaaki now needs a spot hidden roll to find. No sanity loss is specified if the players fail to save the town and the encounter with the Chthonian underneath the altar does not occur, instead the underground area goes no further than the place where the staff is found.
