[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 445593, member: 704"] [b]Further Details[/b] I am quite aware that I do not need to directly link my adventure to the already existing Cthulhu mythos. However, I would very much like to. The link you gave me will proove to be quite useful. Most of the details you suggest can be directly applied Mik, but there are a few points that are not quite as applicable. First, within the chain of events I have so far envisioned, Johnathan and Roger/Reginald had made their expidition to Cambodia back in the 1920's / 1930's. Johnathan would have been keeping his secrets for about 70 years or so. Roger / Reginald would be the "King Worm", and manipulating our good friend Thomas Edwards. As such, Johnathan happens to be a good guy who took to alchohol abuse to keep his worm infection dormant for all of those years. One thing that would make a fair bit of sense to me is the following. Thomas Edwards Senior could have defended Johnathan back in the 1920's / 1930's, and kept notes. Then Thomas Edwards Jr, who has sent run his inheritance into the ground trying to play the stock market could have gone back over his fathers old case notes looking for a likely person to blackmail. In an effort to locate Rogers body, he goes to the cave. He finds the spring, and the well preserved body frozen under the ice. He tries to extract it, but Roger, who was merely dormant and not dead due to worm intervention, pulls Thomas in. Thomas is then infected. Now, as for how we get to the contaminated Bottled Water conspiracy, that can come out of the following. Thomas and Roger quietly infect some of Thomas' more questionable clients who have can help obtain funding. A few presentations are made to the right people, who are offered samples of this remarkable spring water, and after a while, all agree that it is a great business plan. Thomas has some of his clients arrange for the death of Johnathan Fitzgerald, an they buy the land from his estate. I think that about wraps up the how the Conspiracy came into being part of things. Any other suggestions / questions / criticisms are certantly welcome. END COMMUNICATION [/QUOTE]
