Masks of Nyarlathotep

The eighth expansion set for Eldritch Horror. Requires the core set to play.

*Calvin Wright huddled in a corner of the empty barn. His tattered clothes were covered in dirt and bloodstains and reeked of death. It had been weeks since he had been able to change them. The ringing in his ears was growing louder. [...] “What do you want, demon?” Calvin growled. The entity responded with a voice that sounded to Calvin like the snapping of bones. [...] The air shimmered, and Calvin saw within it an image of an old, dead tree, some arcane symbol etched into its trunk. The being remained silent, but Calvin knew what it wanted. It wanted Calvin to break the seal carved into the tree’s bark. [...] The images shifted to that of a worried-looking man sitting alone in a study, writing something by the fireside. Calvin snarled, eyes ablaze with rage. It was João. [...] Exhausted, Calvin felt despair grip him. He would find no sleep tonight.*
