Grey Dragon Island... how it loomed sinister and smoky on the horizon as the sun peered over it like a great red eye, watching us all. It might have been beautiful, a tropical paradise... if we hadn't known better. If we didn't know, or see, what was under its placid surface. If we were naive.

There is never a dull moment in this group, is there? First we encounter cultists worshiping a dark aspect of Chaos Itself, then we encounter bizarre starfish-like beings and ghouls, and now this.
I feel like I've just escaped a car crash right now - dizzy from how fast things are moving and how quickly tides have shifted. But even still, I did not expect to go from being secure in my position at the top of the underground in Shanghai to aboard a "borrowed" ship sailing towards my rival's base of operations, with a group of Communists and four people I barely know.
Still, it's not the craziest thing I've seen or weathered, not by a long shot. It has been a rough night. My sleep is troubled by flashes of the horrors we saw at the Manor... and I was not the only one so affected by that forsaken place, either, not by any stretch of the imagination. I had known these experiences would change me. I did not, however, expect it to change Laurent so... viscerally as well as mentally.
Isn't this about the third or fourth time we've all gotten our asses kidnapped by now? Because I'm beginning to get some serious deja vu here...
More and more often, I am beginning to find myself torn between my lust for adventure and my concern for my safety. There's definitely something not right about Ho Fong, despite how long I've known the man - and this dinner invitation only proves that. Not only that, but accepting it proves we're all either idiots, insane, or both.
Psst. Hey kid, wanna learn about Decadent Literature, The King in Yellow, and the story collection that helped launch Lovecraft's own writing and weird fiction as a genre?
It's good to be a fan of Call of Cthulhu if you're also a fan of horror art. There are some seriously great pieces in the lineup of all the myriad supplements Chaosium has produced. Curious to learn my favorites? Read on...
Welp, it's time to be both biased and incredibly nerdy with my opinion again, and to also completely shirk the fact I have three more blog entries for the Thousand Masks Saga to write that I have not yet finished OH GOD SAVE ME CRAWLING CHAOS.
