Its ten years later, 1935.  The player characters (some survivors from the earlier adventure and others new characters) are hired by Crowley, or more correctly by his patron a Dr.Thomas Wayne of Arkham, to join them on an expedition to the himalayas.They have to enter the forbidden kingdom of Tibet, to the plateau of Tsang, seeking out the book of Ghul, in hopes of learning more about the moonchild and its supposed powers (as none of the pcs had any luck determining who or waht the moonchild is, the last clue being that mysterious meteor crash near Smallville Kansas).Meeting in Katmandu, the PCs discover that there's another group interested in the same goal they are: A group of Nazi mountaineers and occultists, led by the famous mountaineer Heinrich Harrer, and supported by a Nazi "masked man" who dresses all in black, with some kind of cape-like wings, and has the symbol of a bat on his chest.  The PCs are in a race to beat them to the temple of Tsang.Along the way they have some encounters, with yeti, avalanches, and Tcho-Tchos, and finally with a giant spider, before reaching the dead city of Lo-Gor.  Upon arriving the pcs find that the nazi team has gotten there ahead of them and are rushing toward the temple. They also come to realize that most of the city is underground, and find a tunnel to the catacombs. Along with a warning; that the book of ghul in the great temple is guarded by something called Zhar.The PCs deside to risk the catacombs in the hopes of getting to the temple room before the Nazis. in the catacombs they are taken by surprise by a horde of Ghouls, who kill one of their party, and injure another to incapacitation.The rest of the PCs press on, and hear gunshots ahead, finding the great temple, a huge pit with a shrine at the other end of a ledge they're on. On she shrine is the book of Ghul. In the pit is Zhar, a minor Great Old One, a mass of writhing fleshy tentacles.  The Nazis are going nuts and desperately trying to shoot at the thing, while two of the Pcs also get paralyzed with fear (d6/d20 SAN loss). The "fledermaus man" jumps over the chasm with his "wings" (which act like a glider), going for the scroll. One of the Pcs manages to shoot the wing and he falls back, stunned. Meanwhile Dr.Wayne gets to the book and the PCs flee for their lives.Safely back in civilization, and with the book in the hands of Dr.Wayne, there is hope that they  will at long last be able to unravel the mystery of the "moonchilde", and learn where to find him, what his powers are, and how to stop him if nescessary. Unfortunately, only a week or two after their return to Arkham, Dr. Thomas Wayne and his wife are murdered on the way to the opera, in a seemingly random crime, but the Book of Ghul also disappears from his possession, leading the Pcs to suspect it was not as random as it appears.The only witness to the crime is the Wayne's eight year old son, Bruce, who saw his parents murdered before his own eyes.Nisarg</blockquote>
