(Not so)Lucky Larry Bites the Proverbial Dust

I ran another Call of Cthulhu scenario for the same player as before, again playing Larry. This time, he got a letter from England (his native soil) to come and investigate a man's dissappearance. When he arrived he immediately set to work looking around and reading various papers that the man had in his desk (including the infamous play, "The King in Yellow"). When night fell, he discovered a body and set off into the nearby woods hot on the trail of the killer. Unfortuanately, the killer happened to be a warped and horrible terror of the Cthuloid type. Larry was killed, and his little dog too.

Enter Adolf (no, he's not a german), a bounty hunter from America currently working off some problems in the British police system. He was called by Larry directly before he went into the woods. After a short interrogation of the lady of the house, Adolf went off after Larry. In the clearing he found Larry's body (as well as that of his dog), but no horrible monster. On his way back to the house, Adolf saw someone climbing in through and open window and soon chased him.

Inside, Adolf confronted Larry's killer and, eventually, killed him. He then picked up a few things and left. One of the things he took was an old tome, written in latin. Although he could not read it, Adolf soon found a student at the nearby college that agreed to translate it for him. Unfortunately, the student was driven insane by what was written in the tome, and hauled off to a sanitarium.
