BigJackBrass, Still feeling a little unnerved that the party appeared to make some progress in our Cthulhu Eternal investigation last night. We may be on the wrong track, I suppose, but the usual Whartson Hall method is to rope a red herring and ride it erratically into the sunset, whereas @RogerBW seems to have put his finger on a highly plausible possibility (given weight by the traditional Lovecraftian investigation marker: it prompted a handout from the GM).
