I want to take a careful look around the entrance for any signs of recent activity.

The air is thick with fog as you approach the old, decrepit mansion on the outskirts of Arkham. The windows are dark, and the iron gate is slightly ajar. What do you do?

[Rolls a d100] That's a 45, which is under my Spot Hidden skill of 65.

Roll for Spot Hidden, Dr. Harding.

I'll follow the footprints, staying alert for any danger.

You notice footprints in the soft earth, leading around the side of the mansion. They're fresh, possibly only a few hours old.

[Rolls a d100] Oh, that's not good, I rolled an 82, which is above my current Sanity.

As you round the corner, you're startled by the sight of a strange symbol scrawled in red on the mansion's wall. Please make a Sanity roll.

I want to approach one of the locals, someone who doesn't seem too frightened, and ask about the church's history.

The rain pelts down relentlessly as you make your way through the cobblestone streets of the old town. The locals seem to scurry away from your gaze, their expressions a mix of fear and suspicion. The ancient tomes you carry feel heavy with portent as the town's dilapidated church looms ahead. What do you plan to do next?

[Rolls a d100] I got a 35, and my Charm is 40.

Roll for Charm to see if you can get someone to talk.

I want to examine the journal, looking for references to the stone.

You find yourselves inside the musty, book-lined study of Professor Tillinghast. The walls are adorned with strange artifacts and the remnants of what look to be ancient maps. A large desk is covered in papers, among which lies a cryptic journal opened to a page marked by a strange stone. The room feels unnaturally cold.

[Rolls a d100] It's a 62, which is just under my Library Use skill of 65.

Give me a Library Use roll to see how well you uncover the information.

[Rolls a d100] That's a 25, which is a hard success; my skill is 50.

As you sift through the cluttered office of the missing journalist, the chaotic symphony of typewriter keys long silent, you search for any clues to his whereabouts or his latest work. Give me a Spot Hidden roll.

[Rolls a d100] It's a 47, my Spot Hidden is 60, but I was aiming for a lower threshold to uncover more.

The crypt beneath the church is lined with dusty sarcophagi. The air is thick with the smell of mold and the silence of the grave. You're looking for the tomb of the supposed witch, Sarah Osborne. Make a Spot Hidden roll as you search.

[Rolls a d100] Blow me down, that's a 5! My Library Use is 40, so that's an extreme success!

The personal diary of the late sea captain is rumored to contain the location of a sunken wreck and its cursed treasure. As you peruse the captain's quarters, sea charts and navigational tools strewn about, you attempt to pinpoint the entry where he might have divulged the coordinates. Give me a Library Use roll.
