[Lovecraft] What would a hypothetical war between humans and Elder Things look like? Since the Elder Things are mortal like humanity, would we have a chance if we developed technology as powerful as theirs?

If we got our tech base high enough to A) have a hard counter for massive shoggoth swarms and B) pursue the Elder Things into space, then yes, we could probably take them, though we don't really know the full scope of what they're bringing to the table. 

We know that they built the shoggoth to serve them, were able to travel to earth, and could square off against the Mi-Go and the Great Race of Yith, though we don't know much more than that. They might have mechanical super-weapons, and biological/material engineering sophisticated enough to build a bespoke slave race certainly implies they could be capable of building something much more dangerous as a sort of dedicated war machine.
