[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 802264, member: 3649"] Oh.. wow. As a long-time Call of Cthulhu player and GM.. it's difficult to narrow it down :) I'd have to say the most villanous thing was when the party, in Victorian London, came across the Baskervilles (of [I]Hound[/I] fame.. Hound of Tindalos, that is...). Lord Baskerville had invited one of the PC's out to the manor to appraise some artworks purchased on the Continent. There they discovered the terrible doom hanging over the family, because of the dread acts of the grandfather. It seems that Grandad Baskerville was slated to marry a beautiful young lady from a nearby village, but she heard about his odd tastes and strange experiments and refused to have anything to do with him. He used his wealth and influence to ruin her family until only by marrying him could she save them from disgrace. The wedding day came, but at the last moment, she could not bear his kiss. She broke away from the altar and fled into the night. Weeks later, they found her veil beside a swampy area of the moors. They dragged the swamp and recovered her corpse. Baskerville, not a man to be denied anything that was [I]his[/I], ordered her taken home and placed on the marriage bed. Then he locked the doors and spent the night with his wife, as was his right. Only when this came to light did the PC's realize that they were dealing with the progeny from that union.... [/QUOTE]
