"Journals - The Expedition"

[BigHairyKev]

Welcome to an R.P.G. based not on the Cthulu game - but on all the works on H.P. Lovecraft.

"The Expedition" is the story of a group of academics with an interest in the paranormal who are following up stories written by H.P. Lovecraft.

Alot of Lovecrafts writings were like journals left by people who had been involved on some sort of unnatural occurances. What would happen if some of these journals made their way to a collector of such works who wanted to verify their validity?

[Prof. Winthrop]

Journal - July 1917

"Preparations for the expedition are well underway despite the derision of my colleagues at the Miskatonic University who are well known to be very conventional men. The things I have read in various journals which have made their way to me could not be read by such men as they would either disregard them as folly or go quite mad.

The other members of my team are due to arrive at the docks in three hours, but in the meantime I have one more person to call upon to see if I can convince them to join us. I shall make my way there now which leaves them no time to think about it and back out. It is their story we are to investigate and they would be invaluble to us as the only known eye witness."

He closed the journal and collected his hat and coat on the way out of his home. The butler once again showed his concern but Prof. Henry Winthrop was determined to go ahead with the expedition and walked briskly into town to the residence of his much needed witness.
