INSTRUCTION FOR RANDOLPH CARTER
By Chad Stroup


Rise from the slumber of Unknown Kadath!
You wipe the fresh crust from your eyes and stumble to the restroom to rid yourself of impurities.
You look down to see that Randy Jr. resembles a Shoggoth that's seen better days.
That can't be good.
Re-trace your steps.
Last night you partied with the Night-gaunts and drugged some students from Miskatonic.
Uh-oh.
Don't faint, you sissy.
You need someone to assist you.
The Old Ones are out to lunch.
Yog-Sothoth is hung over (too much responsibility, this one).
Dagon is always a little fishy with advice.
Call Cthulhu. He'll know what to do.
