One Page Cthulhu: Volume 1 – Miskatonic Tunnels

1922 Arkham, Massachusetts, A Letter from Herbert West, Professor at Miskatonic University

Dear Friend, It has always been rumored that there are tunnels running under the campus of Miskatonic University. Long have students and faculty alike speculated about the strange possibility that these tunnels exist--and yet no one has ever proven their existence. Many have speculated that the tunnels were originally built for use by the faculty more easily and quickly move about campus, but I hardly believe that to be true. Others think it is a remnant from the Civil War--something the south had dug. Again, I disagree. Further, students have whispered about a far more sinister origin for the tunnels. This is the theory I agree with. My research and investigation into the case brings me to the conclusion that the tunnels were made like a labyrinth--something once used by a cult to summon and harness unimaginable horrors from another world. Now, it acts as a prison for those secrets. That is why I need you. I have found an old and incomplete blueprint which reveals the entrance to the tunnels. That’s where you come in. I want you to go down and investigate, find clues to what happened there, and map out the tunnels for me.
