Project Nemesis is a fan driven website for games that use the One-Roll Engine (like Nemesis, Wild Talents, Reign and Monsters) or Chaosium's Basic Roleplay System (BRP) (like Call of Cthulhu) and the Delta Green setting.
This vellum paper fragment was recovered from the estate of a Lewis
Roger Mumphry. Analysis at the Smithsonian indicates the paper stock
was most likely manufactured in Europe in the late 1700's, and is of
inferior quality. The writing style is cramped.
Here it is:
"On Ye Invitation and Leave-Taking of the Quiet One.
To call a One from the Outside requires ye to be of strong will and little
conscience, for it is conscience that hath doomed man in the future of which
we cannot speak. A sigil, such as is found in the recesses of the Black Book,
the second star, be it known as BELAPT must be incised upon the dirt before
the sanctuary which has already felt much blood upon its soil. Then a rock,
with three pinnacles must be placed before it. Upon it, a fresh token of fair
blood.
“Ana-Habrim, Ana-Al, Ana-Habrim”
Repeated until the moon sets and a great fatigue overcomes the operator.
Then, from above the Great One will descend cloaked in a soft light, like the
moon falling to the earth. It will feed upon the token, and grant the true
disciple a boon. Knowledge of things to come, or secret things, brought to
the mind of the believer in his dreams.
Movement between the far worlds and the stars they circle requires a
sustenance found in the guts of a man, many times over. Once the place of the
Token hath been set, and a time hath been set, it must not be missed, or the
wrath of the One and that of his servants may doom thee. Being a time of
torpor, the Others from Outside gain strength in their repose in this world,
waiting for a time again where their kind shall cavort among the stars and lay
waste to all who have come since their sleep.
Its will shall be plain to those as worship it, and it shall make its
followers known to each other, through its link to the minds of men. Gaining
their strength, they wait and wake only for the feeding, and must be placed
back in their slumber lest they wake too early. The carcass of the token,
once fed upon must be burned, for this shall send the Other back to his vivid
dreaming."
Mumprhy was the local favorite suspect for the Louisiana BI's investigation into the "Devil's Bayou" disappearances in the late 70's. The case was dropped on the record after a warrant was issued and his house turned up clean. The local police kept after him though, and he led an unsuccessful lawsuit against the Pt. Palence Sherrifs department for harassment.
Mumprhy was found dead in his home on 7 DEC 97, the victim of an apparent animal attack. His body was identified through dental records and personal effects, much of what was left was burned nearly beyond recognition. This paper was included among a bundle found within a wall safe, along with a hand drawn map marking the location in the bayou of "Sadey Lake".
So far, the dragging of the lake has yielded the fragments of over thirty four individual victims.
