Summum?

This is almost too easy to slot in here:
Article on the Summum cult

While I'm sure that in reality these are some fairly harmless folks, they're a natural for adventuring.

A pyramid shaped temple is erected in town. They quietly begin recruiting, especially among the homeless. Minor crime in the city drops through the floor.

Rumors abound of weird stuff in the temple, including mummification. Then a formerly homeless congregant escapes and runs into a party member. They convey a tale of horro, human sacrifice, forced mumification and ritual torture.

It turns out that the head of the cult id an animated mummy of an ancient magician. They seek to create an army of the undead to take over the city and eventually the country. Can our heroes stop them?

Necessary for the Summoning?

I think it would be wild if these statues were required for some sort of summoning that could make the Chines RULE THE WORLD!!!! PErhaps that's why Christie's won't return them.

Chinese Statues auctioned

For an adventure I think it would be a great time to have the characters escort the statues to the new owners.

Ideally the statues should be liberated from the characters and the characters have to stop the spell before it's complete.

A Night at the Aquarium!

This charming little heart-warming tale of a prankster octopus:
Roving Octopus . . . .
makes me think of how much fun it would be to have a Call of Cthulhu game set inside an aqaurium. Very much makes me think of the Abe Sapien storylines from BPRD.

oops!

Ever lose track of all the places you post things, yeah, me neither . . .
