I described my experiences in detail to my companions.When I mentioned my encounter with the Cardinal in the future, Father and Prescotttraded a glance that curdled my blood: couldthis meeting have proved the ultimatefutility of our quest?Prescott reassured me. Science was formal: the future was not immutable like the past. I had only met the Cardinal in one of many possible timelines. It was up to us to direct reality towards a lessfrightening outcome.Father agreed, and added that he was beginning to understand the Cardinal's grand scheme."If only we knew how to find St-George'sMonastery, we could defeat him once and for all."But I do know!" said Baroness Vonaburg,who went on to explain that the ruins of the abbey were a mere half-hour drive from the manor!Father wanted to go there immediately. Seeinghow weak I was, he asked the Baroness to take care of me. Then, he grabbed the Talisman of Yhe, swore that he would beat the Cardinal at his own game, and dashed for the exit with Prescott in tow...InstructionsInstructionsReturn to GameReturn to GameSave GameSave GameLoad GameLoad GameGame saved(cookies must be activated)okTimed game: Compete to be The Fastest Player!We keep track of your time as you play thegame.

For soon after they were extracted from their orbits,a powerful hypnotic wave emerged from their Stare, Bewitched, the monks fought and shed each other's blood. To stop the madness, I ordered the unholy eyes sealed, and theother relics scattered. While six processions marched across the Kingdom, the monks who had stayed behind erected the wall. Alas, the Stare robbed us of many more of our brothers before we could imprison it in stone-and seal the accursed crypt for all time. Years, accursed years, passed one by one, as the Stare seeped through the cracks between the stones, slowly corrupting the purest of souls and the staunchest of wills. One night, a stone was sdislodged from the wall; another, a monk was murdered; yet another, a brother lost his mind... Even I fell to the Stare in my sixty-sixth year. My murderous rage took scores of my brethren, before the others could seal me in the crypt from whence my doom had come.While the surviving monks burned the abbey to the ground, I drowned in the depths of the Stare.My madness knew no limits, and my soul roamed to unknown Hells where I saw with a sensethat was not sight. Light had become darkness, and the void was no longer empty. Something crawled there, and rage possessed it there, there, like it possessed all of the others who were shouting his glory, there, there Ygg Nghah... And all were obsessed with a single purpose, monstrous, unfathomable, crossing Yog-Sothoth... But only He who has surrounded himself with the stone circle and who has deciphered the Nug-Soth runes, only He who has desired their return shall, at nightfall, chant the call: Ia! Shub-Niggurath, Ia! Ia!匱hen will come The Horned One, and will live again He-Who-Owns-The-Stare, and only the talisman of Yhe, which is one of the three collarbones of the Power, shall have the might to banish Shub-Niggurath back to the Uncreated.PLAY AGAINTo be continued...Would you like to play the Timed version of the game ?YesNoWould you like to play again ?
