Call of Cthulhu (WW2) A Look to the Past, Episode 3: Tales Around the Fire, or Double (Iron) Cross

-
Cast:
Kurt as "Sly" (Petty Officer Murphy) a US Navy policeman (aka Shore Patrol)
Kathy Christian as LT Phillipa "Phil" Richmond, USN Nurse
Andrew as LT Michael Everhart, US Navy Doctor of Medicine
Nick as Professor Estoban, Spanish Archeology Professor
Colton as Maeria, Spanish Grad Student with a secret past
John as Vargas, Peruvian Lumberjack/Guide (now a Canadian Lawyer)
NPCs 
Germans: Fraulein Falk, Aviatrix; Feldwebl Voss, adventurer; Vinzenz Fromm, Explorer; Faramund Armbruster, Antiquarian
Emelein Huaman - Landers Plantation Groundsman/Scout
Senor Qari Morales - Landers Estate Manager
Following immediately after last session, Vargas decides to put his chainsaw to use and go cut firewood - accompanied by Maeria. In Dr. Hauer's tent, the doctor awakes from his morphine and attacks LT Everhart with a letter opener...but the small knife bounces off Ererharts stephoscope and Phil sticks the crazed man with a needle (filled with MORE morphine). At this point, Dr. Hauer is truely OUT for the night (if not dead...). The next morning, Sly discouvers a burn pit fi8lled with human bones (the other three archeologists) and Vargas finds a sack with a mask and blood covered sacrificial knife. 
Ms. Falk is convinced and has Armbruster and Fromm gather the remains of the German archeologists and Voss take custody of Hauer. The party leaves immediately and turns Hauer into the authorities.
You are able to piece together, that Hauer was using the sacrificial knife to spill blood oin the mask in order to bring his wife and child back to this timeline. Your premonition (at the beginning of the story) was actually an echo of a past timeline. Thankfully, you only had to suffer that once, right Vargas? 
As Falk hands over the mask and sacrificial dagger, Shore Patrol notices that the mask looks a little different. He later shares this fact with the Navy and is debriefed several times by the FBI and some Englishmen.  
On the other side of the world...six months later, things will finally come to a head...in Greenland!

After work and class the next day, the whole party met up at the Proffessor's townhome. They charried the train out into the courtyard that evening to give it a try. Proffessor Hartford activated the train and the group watched (holding umbrellas as it was raining) as it went round and round the figure eight. Nothing seemed to be happening, yet the party presisted even while discussing that perhaps this was a dead-end. With the 26th circuit  of the train however, everything chnged. ...

House of Dust and Ash Part I of the Season Finale: False Redemption Surviving their release of the Dei-Phage (demon lord), activation of the Pax Machiana, the ravaging of Kephistron Altis, melting of the Most Holy Gilded Cathedral of Baraspine, and the discovery that the “Pope” of the Callaxian Church is, in fact, a heretic…well, let’s say our Murder Hobos have a “mixed” reputation…(although Drustos seems to have made out well enough…) It has been a month since and the Acolytes are abruptly ordered off planet.  As the adventure begins the Player Characters are transferred temporarily into the service of a shadowy and notorious figure in the Holy Ordos, Inquisitor Lady Oriantha Rathbone, on the bleak and poisonous industrialized hive world of Solomon. There is a trip on the Lamentations of the Flame Princess which allows some new artificial limb work. Littlus replaces his pipe-like robotic leg (courtesy the Dei-Phage) with the “Major Award” leg from Christmas Story…fish...

Anyway, as they got close to the new shopping area, they heard cries of pain and spotted a bearded man in black (Emerikol the Chaotic it turns out) riding down the street on a demon horse randomly killing passers by.  And calling on his winged gorhellas to kill witnesses. The patry generally ended up fighting gorhellas...except for Amar who got a good cut on the wizard before he escaped. After the fight Captain Rhal of the city watch came over to express his thanks and adk where the characters were staying...he ...
