  Keeper’s 
  Information
  Santos Hernandez is a 2nd generation 
  Spanish immigrant living in the French 
  Quarter, currently a decayed bohemian 
  neighborhood of New Orleans. Most people 
  know him as the charismatic owner of Te 
  Den of Dark Brews Cofee House, known 
  locally as “Te Brew”. His close friends 
  and local occult enthusiasts know that Te 
  Brew has an exclusive and highly secret 
  shop above the cofeehouse. Tis secondary 
  establishment, called Te Shadow Stacks 
  Bookstore and Art Gallery, is a high end 
  occult book store and art gallery, specializing 
  in the macabre and grotesque.
  Life has been good for Santos Hernandez 
  until someone broke into Te Shadow Stacks 
  Bookstore and Art Gallery in an attempt 
  to rob him of his most prized possession. 
  Another wizard, a visiting tourist from 
  Dunwich named Mordechai Whateley, 
  correctly identifed a curio while perusing 
  the oferings in the Shadow Stacks. Te item, 
  part of Mr. Hernandez’s personal collection, 
  is an exquisitely cast statue of black fre 
  hardened clay. It depicts a pot-bellied, droopy 
  breasted feminine creature with sharp teeth 
  and pointed ears, holding a spiked club 
  and wearing a tunic of loose ftting animal 
  skin. Whateley correctly surmised that this 
  statue had to be a Golden Goblin Idol, one 
  of a number of ancient artifacts rumored 
  to whisper secrets of power and forbidden 
  knowledge to its owner.
  Whateley quickly raised some capital at 
  a local pawn shop called Philosopher’s 
  Stone, by selling a number of gold coins. 
  Photography inside the shop is not allowed, 
  but he then returned to Shadow Stacks the 
  next evening with a small camera, cunningly 
  hidden inside of a large fask, and took a 
  dozen photographs of the idol. He used the 
  photos as references for local artist Yolanda 
  Vega, a recent graduate of Newcomb College 
  (the women’s College of Tulane University) 
  who now runs a gallery and gives private 
  classes. She made several copies of the statue, 
  and Whateley took the one that best matched 
  the original and broke into Te Shadow 
  Stacks Bookstore and Art Gallery after it 
  closed. His intention was to steal the original, 
  replace it with the copy, and be back in New 
  England before anyone was the wiser. Tings 
  did not go as planned.
  What Whateley didn’t know was that the 
  statue, the key to Santos Hernandez’s power, 
  had broken years ago. Te imprisoned goblin 
  within was released and then subdued by 
  Mr. Hernandez before she could kill him. 
  Te fedgling wizard and powerful creature 
  once imprisoned with the statue reached 
  an understanding. Since then the powerful 
  creature, which Santos named Nena Negra, 
  has willing served him as a familiar of sorts.
  Te creatures imprisoned within the idols 
  of Golden Goblin statues are tasked with 
  spreading dangerous knowledge to mankind. 
  Tis goblin knew that Shadow Stacks sold 
  numerous rare Mythos tomes, such as 
  Nameless Cults and Revelations of Hali, frst 
  editions printed by Golden Goblin Press, 
  in New York. Since Santos was spreading 
  the dark knowledge of the Mythos to the 
  masses of humanity, and causing untold 
  indiscriminate sufering while doing so, 
  Nena Negra felt compelled to keep helping 
  him. As masters go, she thought, a creature 
  such as herself could do far worse.
  Nena Negra didn’t approve of someone 
  breaking into Te Den or appreciate a 
  stranger handling her former vessel (which 
  she now resided in, although she could now 
  leave it at will). Te goblin transformed into 
  a panther and attacked. Whateley, a strong 
  man, managed to escape the shop after 
  being mortally wounded, by leaping out of 
  the second story window. He fed down the 
  alley and into the street, passing a local poet 
  speaking with two area prostitutes.

  Dunwich named Mordechai Whateley, 
  the oferings in the Shadow Stacks. Te item,

  Te fedgling wizard and powerful creature 
  Te creatures imprisoned within the idols

  Whateley tried to reach his nearby parked car, 
  but was losing blood quickly from his wounds. 
  Te goblin, still in panther form, pursued the 
  would-be thief and ran headlong into the three 
  witnesses. Te working girls screamed and the 
  poet tried to fee. Te Goblin reacted refexively 
  and quickly killed all three. Te creature then 
  turned to its quarry, only to see Whateley collapse 
  and he succumbed to his wounds, bleeding to 
  death about a half block away. Nena Negra 
  returned to Shadow Stacks and informed its 
  master of the break in and her reaction to it. 
  Santos Hernandez quickly cleaned up the mess 
  in his shop before the police arrived. Te bodies 
  on the street were too public for even him to hide.
  Involving the 
  Investigators
  Investigators may become involved in this case 
  in several ways.
  1. Investigators can be friends of the 
  innocent bystanders: struggling 
  poet Andrew McDonald, and/
  or the prostitutes Emily Graham 
  and Regina Mireau.
  2. Investigators can be asked to look into the 
  incident by local occult expect Étienne-
  Laurent de Marigny. He suspects 
  dark goings on after learning that a 
  New England tourist from Dunwich, 
  Massachusetts, who is a member of 
  the decayed line of the Whateley clan, 
  has died in the French Quarter under 
  mysterious circumstances. Where there 
  is that much smoke, there is often a 
  dangerous fre smoldering somewhere.
  3. Investigators may be friends of 
  Matthew Morgan, a zookeeper at 
  Audubon Zoo. He would have called 
  on them to help him save the life of 
  Cody, a Central American cougar 
  who is being blamed for the attack.
  4. Investigator may decide to look into 
  this on their own, after reading the 
  sensational headlines running the 
  morning after the attack in Te 
  Item. (See Goblin Papers #1.)
  POSSIBLE LINES OF 
  INVESTIGATION
  � Tey can investigate the scene of the attack.
  � Tey can investigate the victims.
  � Tey can investigate Audubon Zoo (red herring).
  � Tey can investigate Mordechai Whateley.
  THE SCENE OF THE ATTACK
  By the time the investigators arrive here, all four 
  bodies have been cleared away, taken to the morgue 
  at Charity Hospital (see “Charity Hospital”). Also, 
  the early morning rain has washed away most 
  of the blood. Keepers can describe local police, 
  newspaper reporters, area residents, and visiting 
  gawkers loitering in the area.
  Te Buzz in the Crowd: Most people are talking 
  about the “escaped cougar” and wondering how 
  it got to Bourbon Street from the zoo unseen. 
  No one is sure who started the story but several 
  people seem convinced this is the only logical

  explanation. Tis is a clue, of sorts, as the rumor 
  was started by Santos Hernandez and reinforced 
  in people’s minds by magic.
  THE BLOODY ALLEYWAY
  Tis is where the three innocent bystanders were 
  found, the prostitutes Emily Graham and Regina 
  Mireau, and their friend Andrew McDonald. A 
  police ofcer, John Dugan, stands guard here, to 
  keep out the curious. Investigators will need to 
  make a success Fast Talk, Persuade, or Credit 
  Rating roll to talk their way past him. Tey may 
  also try to make a successful Sneak roll to get by 
  him. Failing that, they may ofer him a bribe of 
  $5, which he happily accepts.
  Te bodies are gone although there are still some 
  faint bloodstains, even after the morning rains. 
  Investigators making a successful Spot Hidden 
  roll fnd a shard of broken glass hidden under 
  some garbage. Te glass is painted black on both 
  sides. Investigators taking a careful look around 
  notice that the building on the left side of the 
  alleyway, belonging to Te Brew cofeehouse, has 
  black painted windows. Investigators carefully 
  examining these windows, and making another 
  successful Spot Hidden roll, notice that one of 
  these windows on the second foor looks to have 
  been recently replaced. Such scrutiny attracts 
  the attention of Nena Negra, who alerts Santos 
  Hernandez. (See “Area Residents”.)
  AREA RESIDENTS
  Keepers can have the investigators question 
  any number of people in the area who knew the 
  victims: nearby shop owners, fellow prostitutes, 
  and an odd assortment of poets, painters, and 
  sculptors who frequent the area around Te Brew. 
  One of these may be Santos Hernandez, who 
  tries to talk to anyone asking too many questions. 
  Tere are also police, reporters, and gawkers still 
  milling about crime scene. Such people can give 
  the investigators basic information on the victims. 
  (See “Information about the Four Victims”.) Here 
  are a few random names Keepers can use to fesh 
  out these random non-player characters:

  INFORMATION ABOUT 
  THE FOUR VICTIMS
  Te investigators learn nothing of value while 
  looking into the three innocent bystanders. 
  Emily Graham and Regina Mireau were both 
  independent local prostitutes, well known to 
  area residents. Aside from their profession, they 
  were thought of as simple working girls with no 
  enemies, who seldom caused any trouble. Emily 
  had her skull crushed and punctured; Regina had 
  her trachea torn out.
  Andrew McDonald was also well known as an 
  area resident, a minor poet who made a living 
  publishing his work and performing at local cofee 
  houses and poetry dens. Mr. McDonald was 
  known to associate with both Emily and Regina. 
  All three were on good terms. He died from a bite 
  to his shoulder and being disemboweled, both of 
  which caused massive blood loss.
  No one has any idea what they might have been 
  doing with the other dead man (Mordechai 
  Whateley). Residents are pretty sure that the 
  three locals didn’t know him. Witnesses say that 
  the man spoke with a Yankee accent, drove a 
  Model A, and had been seen in the area several 
  times this week. Other than that nobody knows 
  anything about him. He was the most badly 
  wounded, having had his lower left arm torn of, 
  which police found in the alleyway near the other 
  victims. He somehow managed to stagger a half 
  a block away before he collapsed from shock and 
  bled to death.Following 
  the Faded 
  Blood Trail
  If investigators retrace the route to where 
  Mordechai Whateley died as he left the alleyway 
  where the bodies of the innocent bystanders 
  were found, they fnd themselves moving south 
  along St. Ann towards Port Royal Street. If 
  investigators look for clues along his projected 
  route, they fnd a Model A with hotel towels 
  secured to its windows, blocking all view into 
  the interior of the vehicle.
  WHATELEY’S CAR
  Investigators wishing to search the car must 
  make a successful Locksmith roll or break 
  a window to gain access. Tis is Mordechai 
  Whateley’s car and contains a packed suitcase 
  and dufel bag. Te luggage suggests that Mr. 
  
  � 6 �
  GOBLIN ON BOURBON STREET
  Whateley was preparing to leave town. Tere 
  are several items of interest in the car:
  1. Two Books: Tese two items are 
  neatly wrapped in brown paper and 
  tied closed with black ribbon scented 
  in lilac. Investigators who unwrap 
  the packages fnd brand new copies 
  of Nameless Cults and Revelations of 
  Hali, the editions printed by Golden 
  Goblin Press. (For more information, 
  Keepers should see pages 96–99 of the 
  6th edition Call of Cthulhu rulebook.)
  2. Te Painting: In the back seat is an 
  unframed canvas, three feet square, 
  wrapped in paper and tied closed with 
  twine. If unwrapped and examined, the 
  canvas holds an unsigned painting which 
  skillfully depicts a scene of debauchery and 
  horror. Two men and two women are nude, 
  wearing only half masks depicting the ears 
  and snouts of pigs. Te fgures are engaged 
  in an orgy upon what appears to be at frst 
  glance a large bed. However, the bed is 
  actually covered with lactating breasts, 
  eyes, groping hands, open mouths with 
  lapping tongues, and multiple sets of both 
  male and female genitalia. On the back 
  of the painting, painted in careful gold 
  calligraphy on the wooden frame, is the 
  title Rapture of the Debase. Examining the 
  painting requires a sanity check of 1/1D2.
  3. Te Hidden Camera: Tis appears 
  to be a large fask, but feels heavy 
  and solid when handled. If examined 
  investigators discover that there is 
  a small disposable camera hidden 
  inside with a button to take photos 
  clandestinely. Tere is no flm inside of it.
  4. Te Pawn Shop Ticket: (Goblin 
  Papers #2) Tis ticket, crumpled on 
  the foor of the front passenger seat, 
  found with a successful Spot Hidden 
  roll, is from Philosopher’s Stone 
  Pawn Shop (located at 610 Ptolemy 
  Street, in Algiers). It shows a receipt 
  for fve antique gold colonial era coins 
  being held on deposit for $700.
  5. Te Towels: Te six towels are old 
  and have seen better days. Tey are 
  monogrammed with the name “Te 
  Viridian Resort,” a motel on the shores 
  of nearby Lake Pontchartrain.
  AUDUBON ZOO (Red Herring)
  Investigators may visit the Audubon Zoo to 
  look into the rumor that a big cat escaped and 
  committed the murders. Te police are already 
  here, and the big cat exhibit has been closed 
  for the day. When the investigators arrive, two 
  police ofcers, one of whom carries a shotgun, are 
  seen angrily arguing with a zookeeper, Matthew 
  Morgan. Te investigators can eavesdrop on their 
  conversation or join in it.
  Ofcer Scott and Ofcer Beauregard are accusing 
  Dr. Morgan of covering up the cougar’s escape 
  and then recovering the animal with a box truck. 
  Tey say that a witness identifed the zoo’s delivery 
  truck leaving the scene shortly after the murders. 
  When asked who the witness was, they refuse to 
  answer, saying that’s not anyone’s business. (See 
  “Cody, the Scapegoat”.) Te ofcers are insistent 
  that this story is an indisputable fact and ignore 
  all of Mr. Morgan’s arguments. Tey want to 
  shoot and kill the animal, at once, as it’s a public 
  menace and man eater.
  Te zookeeper grows increasingly upset. He frst 
  calmly states and then, once he’s been ignored 
  several times, loudly shouts his argument. His 
  points, each logical and truthful, are as follows:
  a. Neither he nor the zoo owns, or 
  has ever owned, a box truck.
  b. Te cougar in residence, Cody, has not 
  escaped and has never hurt anyone.
  c. Tey can examine Cody for blood on 
  his fur or claws if they like. To this, the 
  CODY, THE 
  SCAPEGOAT
  Ofcers Scott and 
  Beauregard are victims 
  of Santos Hernandez’s 
  magical inﬂuence. 
  They’ve been ensorcelled 
  by him to use the zoo’s 
  cougar as a scapegoat 
  for the incident outside 
  The Den of Dark Brews. 
  They have an unshakable 
  belief that a witness did 
  identify a zoo delivery 
  truck leaving the scene, 
  even though they can 
  no longer remember 
  who the witness was.
  � 6
  calligraphy on the wooden frame, is the 
  Goblin Papers #2
  
  � 7 �
  GOBLIN ON BOURBON STREET
  police reply that the animal was likely 
  cleaned up after it was recaptured.
  d. Tey can examine the enclosure 
  to see if it’s secure, to which they 
  reply, “Oh sure, it’s secure now…”
  e. Te animal is both old and partially 
  lame, walking with a pronounced limp 
  due to arthritis. Mr. Morgan explains 
  that Cody wouldn’t be physically able to 
  commit acts with the level of violence 
  that occurred on Bourbon Street. “Te 
  street cat who raids my garbage can is 
  probably more dangerous than poor 
  old Cody,” the zookeeper explains.
  Te argument ends with Ofcer Beauregard 
  slamming the zookeeper against a wall and 
  threatening to “beat his lying ass into the ground.” 
  Mr. Morgan yells back that unless the police 
  have a court order demanding that he release 
  the animal into their custody that he isn’t letting 
  them anywhere near Cody, even if they beat 
  him up. Te ofcers say they’ll be back with a 
  warrant soon, so they can “shoot that fucking 
  animal” and then beat Mr. Morgan for wasting 
  their time. As they leave, Ofcer Scott smacks 
  Mr. Morgan hard in the back of his head. If the 
  investigators try to get involved, they may also 
  be roughed up as well. If they push things too far, 
  the investigators might even be arrested, or worse.
  After the police, leave the investigators may 
  talk to Matthew Morgan. He explains that he 
  has been a zookeeper here for twelve years and 
  there has never been an escape. He states again 
  that there is no way Cody could have done this 
  and shows the animal to the investigators. Te 
  cougar is large, fat, and old, walking with a slight 
  limp. Mr. Morgan says, “He’s just a lazy old cat, 
  practically a pet at this point. Sure, he’s a wild 
  animal, but he didn’t do those things. He couldn’t 
  if he wanted to…”
  Mr. Morgan is dumbfounded as to why the police 
  won’t see reason. If the investigators ofer to help, 
  the zookeeper urges them to do whatever they 
  can to save Cody, to whom Mr. Morgan has 
  grown much attached.
  CHARITY HOSPITAL
  Te investigators will have a difcult time getting 
  accesses to the bodies of the victims. Te morgue 
  is under guard by a police ofcer, who’s been given 
  a tip from a witness that someone might try to 
  get to the bodies in order to destroy evidence. 
  Ofcer Brant doesn’t remember who gave him 
  the tip, but, due to the magical infuence of Santos 
  Hernandez, he steadfastly believes it. Investigators 
  cannot talk or bribe their way past him, but he is 
  not very smart of diligent. Investigators making 
  a successful Sneak check, or causing a distraction 
  which pulls him of his post, can easily enter the 
  morgue area.
  Once there, the investigators can speak with 
  Dr. Scott Junter, the coroner handling this 
  case. Investigators making a successful Fast 
  Talk, Persuade, or Credit Rating check easily 
  gain his cooperation; failing this a bribe of $5 
  does the trick. His report and the investigators' 
  observations confrm all of the information about 
  the victim’s wounds listed in “Information about 
  the Four Victims”. However, two additional clues 
  are found here.
  Mordechai Whateley has a pair of freshly fractured 
  heels. Dr. Junter jokes that they call this injury 
  “Brothel Heel”, because men get it from jumping 
  from windows to avoid arrest when a house of 
  ill repute is raided. Te deceased Whateley also 
  has something drawn on the inside of his right 
  wrist. It is a strange symbol is slightly faded, maybe 
  three days old, and appears to be an upside down 
  the Four Victims”. However, two additional clues 
  are found here.
  Goblin Papers #3

  GOBLIN ON BOURBON STREET
  triangle interposed with an upside down letter V. 
  Investigators making a successful Occult roll can 
  identify this symbol as the alchemical symbol for 
  arsenic (See Goblin Papers #3). Tis is the current 
  password for the Shadow Stacks Bookstore and 
  Art Gallery. Mordechai Whateley drew this to 
  remind himself of the password.
  THE VIRIDIAN RESORT
  Investigators visiting the Viridian Resort fnd 
  a rather run down hotel. Once, this was a 
  beautiful place, but its glory days are behind it. 
  Te Viridian used to be on the lakeshore, but now, 
  due to storms and new construction, it is much 
  farther back from the water.
  Te manager, Mr. Robert “Bobbie” Johansson, 
  remembers Mr. Whateley, as they have so few 
  guests these days. While he doesn’t know his 
  name, saying, “We don’t ask for names” he does 
  remember that a Yankee checked out of Room 210 
  on the day the scenario began. He explains that 
  they can’t see the room because his cleaning girl 
  hasn’t gotten to it yet. If ofered a bribe of $1, he’ll 
  rent them the room now, un-cleaned, for the day. If 
  the investigators allow the room to be cleaned, the 
  clues will be lost. Kindhearted Keepers may allow 
  the lost clues to be found the Viridian Hotel’s back 
  dumpster, around 4pm that day.
  Room 210: Tis cheap hotel room is quite dirty. 
  Soiled plates, cups, wet towels, and other garbage 
  are scattered about everywhere. Investigators 
  searching the room can fnd four clues here. 
  Keepers may call for Spot Hidden rolls to have the 
  clues located or simply allow them to be found after 
  an hour’s worth of careful searching. Te clues are 
  not so much hidden as they are simply mixed in 
  with the general mess of the room. Te clues are:
  Viridian Clues #1—A Receipt from 
  Yolanda’s Pottery (see Goblin Papers #4): 
  Tere is a receipt for fve statues ($50 
  dollars each, total of $250, listed as a 
  priority job), listed as reproductions from 
  photos. Te address on the receipt is 1137 
  Marais Street, in the Lower Ninth Ward.
  Viridian Clues #2—Four Discarded 
  Statues: Tere are four statues here, 
  partially wrapped in paper and thrown 
  into the waste paper basket. Te statues 
  are of a chubby female creature, with 
  long ears and sharp teeth, wearing 
  an animal skin. Each is black, nearly 
  identical, and seems to have been 
  artifcially aged. Close examination 
  shows some noticeable variation to 
  each statue, mostly in size and scale. 
  Tey are all marked with NC/YV on 
  their bottoms.
  Viridian Clues #3—Four Receipts 
  (see Goblin Papers #5): Tree of these 
  receipts (.85, .90, .75) and are from 
  Te Den of Dark Brews Cofee House, 
  with the address listed as 808 Bourbon 
  Street. Tis is right beside the alleyway 
  where the three innocent bystanders 
  were killed, where investigators may 
  have found the black painted glass 
  shard and realized a window from that 
  same building was recently replaced. 
  Te fourth receipt's frst two lines read 
  “Te Shadow Stacks Bookstore and 
  Art Gallery”: and the third reads “By 
  Invitation Only”. Tis receipt carries 
  the faint scent of lilac. It does not have 
  an address listed on it, but the hand-
  writing on the receipt matches that for 
  Goblin Papers #4
  
  � 9 �
  GOBLIN ON BOURBON STREET
  Te Den of Dark Brews Cofee House. 
  Tis receipt is made out for copies of 
  Unspeakable Cults ($160), Revelations 
  of Hali ($85), and a painting called 
  Rapture of the Debase ($110). 
  VISITING YOLANDA’S POTTERY
  Investigators visiting here fnd Yolanda Vega, a 
  dark skinned Creole woman and master artisan. 
  She runs a small pottery gallery and teaches 
  classes in the rear workshop behind the store. If 
  asked about Mr. Whateley or his priority order, 
  she won’t want to discuss it, explaining that 
  her commissions are a private matter. Should 
  investigators make a successful Fast Talk (“He 
  sent us.”) or Persuade (“Tis might help us fnd 
  his killer.”) roll, Ms. Vega does discuss it.
  She says Mr. Whateley visited her three times, 
  once to ask if she could make reproductions 
  from photos, a second time to drop of a dozen 
  photos for the reproductions and a deposit for 
  fve fnished statues, and a fnal time to pay the 
  balance and pick up the order. She mentions that 
  he paid extra to have the assignment fnished very 
  quickly. She also recalls that he asked her if she 
  knew of a good pawnshop in the area, to which 
  she honestly replied that she did not.
  She is willing to give the investigators the photos 
  he gave her. Te photos show the real Nena 
  Negra, a Golden Goblin Statue, from various 
  odd angles. Te statue in the photos seems to 
  be on the top of a bookcase in a dark room; the 
  wall behind the bookcase appears painted black. 
  Most of the photos are poor quality.
  VISITING PHILOSOPHER’S 
  STONE PAWN SHOP
  Tis cluttered pawn shop is owned and run by 
  Duncan MacAndrews, a large, powerfully built 
  man. He deals with a lot of stolen goods so he 
  won’t easily discuss any past dealings, even 
  outright denying his own store’s claim ticket. 
  If the investigators make a purchase of greater 
  than $20, or ofer him a bribe of $5, he will talk 
  about the gold coins.
  He says a Yankee came in with gold coins, “Real 
  gold, I’ve seen enough monkey shit to tell the 
  diference”. Te man said he needed to raise 
  some money fast. MacAndrews remembers 
  the guy saying that “it was for a special girl”. 
  MacAndrews paid cash and told the man he 
  had ten days to reclaim the coins, but the Yankee 
  said that he wouldn’t be back. MacAndrews no 
  longer has the coins, having sold them at a proft, 
  to a jeweler, who promptly melted them down.

  He will not easily give out the jeweler’s name, 
  under any circumstances, as that business is under 
  the protection of Yvon Giacona, a local mob boss. 
  THE DEN OF DARK BREW 
  COFFEE HOUSE
  Tis cofee house serves cofees and teas from 
  around the world, as well as a wide selection of 
  baked goods. It is open six days a week (closed 
  on Monday) from 7 AM until 6 PM. Between 
  5 PM and 6 PM, the shop hosts open poetry 
  readings, which are quite popular. Poets, amateur 
  and professional, local and touring, stop by Te 
  Brew to perform regularly. While a bit pricey 
  compared to similar establishments in New 
  Orleans, the quality of the beverages and baked 
  foods is excellent. Regulars come for the relaxed 
  atmosphere and the company of the owner, 
  Santos Hernandez, who seems well liked by all.
  Investigators visiting here easily realize that 
  there is a heavy oaken door barring entry to 
  the second foor. It contains not one, but two 
  fne locks. Typically, this would be where the 
  shop’s owner lives.
  THE SHADOW STACKS 
  BOOKSTORE & ART GALLERY
  It is located at 808 Bourbon Street, directly 
  above Te Den of Dark Brews Cofee House. 
  Tis combination bookstore and art gallery takes 
  up about 70% of the space on the second foor. 
  Te remaining space of two small rooms and a 
  bathroom comprises a modest apartment where 
  Santos Hernandez resides.
  Very few people know of Te Shadow Stacks 
  Bookstore and Art Gallery, and fewer know 
  how to fnd it. It is not listed in directories 
  and travel guides, as its very existence is one of 
  darkest secrets of the French Quarter. Patrons are 
  admitted by invitation only, so investigators will 
  have difculty gaining entry. Te establishment 
  caters to the wealthiest patrons, serious collectors 
  of macabre art, dedicated students of the occult, 
  and practitioners of the dark and forbidden arts. 
  Te Shadow Stacks is open three or four nights 
  a week, depending on appointments, between 
  the hours of 11 PM and 3 AM. Visitors arriving 
  without an appointment have a 70% chance of 
  fnding the shop open (or at Keepers discretion).
  Getting In: Patrons gain entry to Te Shadow 
  Stacks by crossing through Te Den of Dark 
  Brews and traveling upstairs, but this is easier said 
  than done. Not only is the front door (leading 
  into the cofeehouse) kept locked; the interior 
  door to the second foor has two locks (see “Te 
  Den of Dark Brews”) and a reinforced oaken door 
  (20 HP). Finally, whenever Te Shadow Stacks 
  is open, the building is protected by a diligent 
  and formidable watchman named Juan Muerto 
  (aka John Death).
  Mr. Muerto, an enormous ox of a man (see “Juan

  asking for the password, which is currently 
  “Arsenic”. Bribes won’t work on Mr. Muerto, but 
  investigators might be able to learn the password 
  while a patron with an invitation is gaining entry. 
  Tis requires both a successful Hide and Listen 
  check, as the investigator eavesdrops. (See “Lord 
  and Lady Mardröm”.) Failing this, investigators 
  may attempt a roll at -10% on Fast Talk, Persuade, 
  or Credit Rating to get past Mr. Muerto. If 
  successful, he allows them in but demands a 
  $100 “browser’s fee”. Te massive man warns 
  them not to try anything “unsavory, rude, or 
  provocative” while visiting the shop. Once inside, 
  investigators are escorted by Juan through the 
  cofee bar, past the stout double-locked door, and 
  up the stairs into Te Shadow Stacks Bookstore 
  and Art Gallery. If the investigators did not give 
  the password Juan takes them right to Santos 
  Hernandez and introduces them as “possible new 
  clients, Master…”
  Juan Muerto: Te very loyal Juan Muerto, who 
  serves as Te Shadow Stacks Bookstore and Art 
  Gallery watchmen, is more than he seems. He 
  is large and powerfully built under his perfectly 
  tailored dark suit. He is soft spoken and polite, 
  with a deep voice and slow deliberate way of 
  speaking. Mr. Muerto is not bad looking, with 
  a shy smile, a cleanly shaved head, and smooth 
  dark skin.
  However, all this is a powerful illusion, as Juan 
  Muerto is actually an extremely small ghast 
  (possibly a runt or dwarf-ghast), magically bound 
  to serve Santos Hernandez. Te creature arrives, 
  through a gate in Mr. Hernandez’s apartment, 
  every day at 9 PM and departs every 4 AM. In 
  conversation with Santos Hernandez, he often 
  calls him “Master”. When this happens, Santos 
  replies, “How many times do we need to go 
  over this Juan?” to which the answer is always, 
  “I’m sorry… Mr. Hernandez.” Juan does this 
  intentionally and repeatedly, as a form of protest.
  If forced to fght around witnesses, it maintains 
  the illusion and just punches (see stats). If allowed 
  to fght without regard for witnesses, it drops 
  the illusion and fghts with its jaws and claws. 
  Investigators who suspect that Juan is more than 
  he seems can try to piece the illusion by watching 
  him intently for a few seconds and making a 
  POW x 1 check. If successful, the investigator 
  catches the briefest glimpse of the ghast’s true 
  form (which requires a Sanity Check)
  Lord and Lady Mardröm: Investigators 
  carefully watching Te Shadow Stacks 
  Bookstore and Art Gallery see a limousine pull 
  up shortly before midnight. Two fgures, a man 
  and a woman, exit the passenger area. Tey are 
  dressed in formal wear, as if they were going to 
  the opera, and have decorative Venetian style 
  masquerade masks covering the upper half of 
  their faces. Tey walk to the door, knock on it, 
  give the large guard (Mr. Muerto) the password, 
  “arsenic”, and are then escorted inside.
  Te husband and wife are quite friendly (towards 
  other patrons of Te Shadow Stacks Bookstore 
  and Art Gallery) and speak English with a think 
  Swiss accent. Tey introduce themselves as Lord 
  
  •  12  •
  GOBLIN ON BOURBON STREET
  and Lady Mardröm (not their real names, as 
  Mardröm means “Nightmare” in Swedish). They 
  are serious collectors of macabre art who travel to 
  New Orleans from Oskarshamn (actual place!) 
  twice a year just to shop here. They are fabulously 
  wealthy, with deranged and eccentric tastes in 
  art, but are otherwise quite harmless. Lord and 
  Lady Mardröm flee back to their limousine at 
  the first hint of trouble.
  Other Patrons: Investigators visiting here find 
  between 0–3 other patrons (1D4-1), unless they 
  followed Lord and Lady Mardröm (see Lord 
  and Lady Mardröm), in which case they are the 
  only other patrons in the shop. Customers here 
  are serious buyers, willing and able to pay The 
  Shadow Stacks' high prices. Some customers 
  have traveled hundreds, or even thousands, of 
  miles to shop here. Each patron has either been 
  invited by the owner, recommended by other 
  regular patrons, or has an approved appointment 
  after sending in a request.
  Description of the Store: The shop is a single 
  massive room holding six freestanding bookcases, 
  two bookcases against walls, a single large oak 
  table with six chairs, and a counter area where the 
  proprietor usually sits. While skimming volumes 
  is permitted, prolonged reading is frowned upon 
  (“This isn’t a library, you know…”). The walls 
  space and sides of the bookcases are covered with 
  paintings of various sizes. There are also a number 
  of shelves holding sculptures as well. The room 
  is lit dimly, but well enough to read. The walls, 
  ceiling and windows are painted black. Incense 
  is burned every hour or so, giving the air here a 
  spicy exotic aroma. 
  The Books: At any one time, there are between 
  800 and 1000 volumes offered here, covering a 
  wide array of occult topics. Investigators have a 
  70% of finding any occult tome (as distinct from 
  a Mythos tome) listed in the 6th edition Call of 
  Cthulhu rulebook among these stacks, such as 
  The Golden Bough, Malleus Maleficarum, Oracles 
  of Nostradamus, and The Witch Cult in Western 
  Europe. If a book isn’t here, the owner has a 50% 
  chance of knowing where he can find it, and 
  can obtain a copy within 1D3 weeks (for a 20% 
  deposit on the price). Texts can cost anywhere 
  from $10 to $200, depending on the book’s 
  rarity (or 1D20 x $10). Access to one bookcase 
  is blocked by a locked stained glass door, which 
  obscures the titles of the books it holds. This 
  is The Special Collection (see “The Special 
  Collection”) and requires the owner’s assistance, 
  and permission, to peruse.
  The Art: At any time, between eight and 
  seventeen (1d10+7) paintings, sketches, and 
  sculptures are on display here. Everything on 
  display is for sale, with new pieces replacing 
  older ones as room becomes available. All of 
  the art is of a disturbing nature, images of death, 
  horror, obscenity, and the visions and fantasies of 
  madmen and monsters. Items are typically sold 
  for between $100 and $800 dollars (2D8 x $50).
  Quite often, the collection contains dangerous 
  items, such as a watercolor featuring active 
  Yellow Signs, which have adverse effects on the 
  human mind. Those examining the collection are 
  affected by it, dramatically so. Viewers must make 
  a Sanity check for 1D3/1D8, with those driven 
  insane often fainting, being driven to screaming 
  fits, or fleeing in tears from the collection. One 
  jet-black sculpture displayed here sits atop the 
  bookcase containing The Special Collection. It 
  depicts a droopy breasted, potbellied, impish 
  creature, wearing an animal skin and holding a 
  club. She is Nena Negra, the only item in The 
  Shadow Stacks Bookstore and Art Gallery not 
  for sale. (See “The Golden Goblin Idol”.)
  The Special Collection: This one, thin bookcase 
  has a stained glass door, which is kept locked at 
  all times. It currently contains a collection of 
  sixteen Mythos tomes, each one rare, dangerous, 
  and expensive. Most of them are modern print 
  versions, many of which most are produced by 
  Golden Goblin Press in New York. It holds two 
  copies of Zanthu Tablets ($70), four copies of 
  Nameless Cults ($150), four copies of Revelations 
  of Hali ($85), three copies of Visions from Yaddith 
  ($100), two copies of People of the Monolith ($110), 
  and a single complete set of all thirteen volumes 
  of Revelations of Glaaki ($800).
  The Golden Goblin Idol: This black ceramic 
  statue is the former imprisonment vessel of Nena 
  Negra, a powerful and malevolent spirit. The 
  entity still resides within it, although it is no 
  longer her prison but her home. The statue is 
  placed high atop the bookshelf which contains 
  the Special Collection. Santos Hernandez does 
  not allow anyone to touch the statue nor does he 
  entertain any talk of selling it, at any price. He 
  explains that it is part of his personal collection, 
  which he displays here for sentimental reasons.
  Santos Hernandez: On the surface, the 
  businessman Santos Hernandez is a pillar of 
  the community. Witty, well liked, and popular, 
  he is also a patron of the local art scene. More 
  notably, Mr. Hernandez is a leading community 
  activist working to have the French Quarter both 
  revitalized and restored by pressuring the city 
  council to declare the area a historically protected 
  district. By day, he runs The Den of Dark Brews 
  Coffeehouse, and on several nights a week, he

  also runs Te Shadow Stacks Bookstore and 
  Art Gallery. He lives here as well, in a small 
  apartment above the cofeehouse, connected to 
  the bookstore/art gallery.
  For the next two weeks, Santos Hernandez 
  won’t leave the building. He has supplies 
  delivered and laundry picked up and dropped 
  of, cooking his meals at home or ordering in 
  food, et cetera. Te wizard is hunkering down 
  until he is certain the messy public business with 
  the deaths and apparent animal attack has died 
  down without any of it being connected to him 
  or his various businesses.
  SANTOS HERNANDEZ, 
  THE WIZARD OF 
  THE FRENCH QUARTER
  While some people know about his macabre art 
  gallery and occult bookstore, no one suspects he 
  possesses any real arcane knowledge or abilities. 
  But Santos Hernandez is a wizard of no small 
  skill as well as a master of charm and misdirection. 
  While he does possess both a pistol and a sawed 
  of shotgun to defend himself and his property, 
  he is loath to resort to outright violence. Similarly, 
  while able to cast a wide variety of spells, he tries 
  to limit such actions as they are risky to his well-
  established cover within the community. His 
  true power is his subtle manipulation of people, 
  augmented, when necessary, by magic.
  In conversation, Santos Hernandez denies any 
  and every wrongdoing, claiming to be either 
  totally ignorant or an innocent victim. Even if 
  investigators speak to him in Te Shadow Stacks 
  and Art Gallery, surrounded by blasphemous 
  texts and nightmarish paintings, he claims it 
  is nothing more than a business that caters to 
  wealthy eccentrics with peculiar tastes in art and 
  literature. He claims no harm ever came from 
  reading a book or gazing too long at art, no matter 
  how disturbing (which he knows frsthand to be 
  untrue). If confronted about a possible break in, he 
  feigns ignorance, but promises to perform a careful 
  inventory to identify any missing items. If backed 
  into a corner Santos Hernandez may strike frst, 
  typically with spells, but he tries to settle things 
  with lies until violence is unavoidable or ofered.
  Ultimately, Santos Hernandez is not a wizard 
  trying to hasten the end times, summon a Great 
  Old One, or cause mass destruction. He is crafty 
  and content, happy to make money of spreading 
  blasphemous knowledge and unspeakable art 
  to those who can aford it. Mr. Hernandez 
  only wishes to be left alone and is more than 
  happy to reach some sort of agreement with the 
  investigators, so long as his business is not afected. 
  For example, he could ofer the investigators a 10% 
  discount at Te Shadow Stacks Bookstore and Art 
  Gallery for their silence, or agree to shift the blame 
  for the “unfortunate incident” away from Cody 
  (the aged cougar at the Audubon Zoo).
  Battling Santos Hernandez: If pushed too 
  far, threatened, or attacked Santos Hernandez 
  is a formidable opponent. Not only does he 
  have a wide array of spells; he carries a knife 
  and a concealed 9mm pistol, and has ready

  GOBLIN ON BOURBON STREET
  STATUE FORM
  The Golden Goblin appears as a grotesque statue of around 
  eight inches tall, appearing to be sculpted from a single 
  nugget of gold (Nena Negra is made of black ceramic). 
  The ﬁgure is bent slightly forwards as if about to spring 
  or lunge (Nena Negra seems to be in a menacing slouch). 
  Its body is gaunt, but suggests a rangy power, with long 
  arms and clutching hands tipped with claws. The legs are 
  thing, but muscular (Nena Negra has a rather plump and 
  saggy ﬁgure). The goblin wears a ragged loincloth. It has 
  a leering humanoid face, bat-like ears, black obsidian eyes, 
  a long nose, a mocking grin full of serrated teeth, and a 
  pointed head and chin. Its whole attitude is one of mockery, 
  challenge, and spite (Nena Negra’s expression seems to 
  convey a watchful and judgmental menace).
  When the Golden Goblin whispers and cajoles its victims, 
  its eyes ﬂash red, and its visage grows more pointed and 
  feral. This can only be seen if the goblin is quickly glimpsed 
  from the side or its image caught in a mirror. Viewing it 
  directly detects no change.
  The statue can be destroyed by mundane means, but this 
  releases the goblin within. Those expecting the goblin’s 
  gratitude will be disappointed.
  GOBLIN FORM
  If the Golden Goblin manifests as a creature, it resembles 
  the statue, except its features are more exaggerated and 
  alarming. Its golden skin is leathery, and its spine and 
  buttocks are crusted with short barbed golden hairs. In 
  this form, it moves with horrid quickness and can leap many 
  times its height (Nena Negra’s skin is a dusty black shade, 
  much like the ceramic ﬁgure).
  NATIVE CAT
  If the Goblin takes the form of a giant cat, it is always rangy 
  and of a golden hue, with a wicked drooling mouth full of 
  sharp teeth and a lolling panting tongue (Nena Negra’s cat 
  form is a large black panther).
  STATUE ONLY
  Curse: The goblin statue is cast in cursed Aztec gold. The 
  goblin can curse individuals, but has only one chance for 
  success. Match POW vs POW. If the goblin wins, the victim 
  automatically fails Luck rolls and has no access to any kind of 
  Luck beneﬁt until the curse is lifted by the destruction of the 
  statue form. This can be done by doing more than 10 points 
  of damage to the statue after armor is taken into account.
  GOBLIN AND STATUE
  Whispering Trickery: The goblin can fool people into working 
  against their own good. Match INT vs INT with the goblin. 
  On a failure, the victim decides to do something foolhardy 
  and risky that the goblin suggests. Only on a successful 
  INT x 5 roll does the intended victim realize the suggestion 
  has come from some outside agency, rather than his or her 
  own mind. If the goblin fails, it cannot attack the victim until 
  another lunar month has passed. It must come up with a new 
  suggestion and initiate another Whispering Trickery attack. 
  This power can only be employed by the goblin, successfully 
  or not, three times per lunar month.
  Guardian/Granter of Secrets: The goblin both guards and 
  imparts the dark secrets of the Great Old Ones. Each time 
  the goblin uses this ability, it forces a POW vs POW contest 
  between itself and the victim. This power can be used against 
  the owner of the statue at an unlimited distance, or on any 
  one random person with 100 feet of the goblin.
  If a person wishes to learn a secret in order to forward the 
  aims of the Great Old Ones, or attempts something which 
  cause harm to him/herself or others, the goblin is likely to 
  assist him or her. In a contest of POW, if the victim loses—and 
  the victim can willingly lose and surrender to the lure of 
  forbidden knowledge—the victim instantly succeeds at a 
  Cthulhu Mythos, Occult Check, or a roll in attempting to 
  learn a spell. However, this gift drains 1D3 points of Sanity 
  and grants the victim +1% to the Cthulhu Mythos score.
  If a person wishes to use the knowledge of the Mythos to 
  oppose the Great Old Ones, the goblin actively tries to 
  prevent that person from doing so. In a contest of POW, if 
  the goblin wins, the victim decides to suppress, keep hidden, 
  or fail to learn any knowledge that falls under the Cthulhu 
  Mythos or Occult skill. If the victim wins, he or she is allowed 
  to act normally. However, the goblin will immediately employ 
  its Whispering Trickery ability and try to trick the victim into 
  harming or acting so foolishly as to discredit him/herself, so 
  the secret can be kept.
  GOBLIN ONLY
  Duplication: The goblin can create duplicates of its goblin 
  form at the rate of one additional goblin per round up to 
  a number of its current POW. These resemble the original 
  exactly except they have an INT 3 and a limited autonomy, 
  existing merely to serve their progenitor. The duplicates last 
  only 2D6 rounds.
  Goblin Native Cat: Once per night, the goblin can take the 
  form of a native cat. This ability is not usable in conjunction 
  with duplication. So, a duplicated goblin cannot also form 
  itself into a cat. Only the original goblin can do this. The Cat 
  has no access to the Goblin’s other powers and is used only 
  when the goblin needs a ﬁghting form.
  Typically a Golden Goblin is encountered bound into a statue. In this form, only its Curse, Whispering Trickery, 
  and Guardian of Secrets abilities are available. The goblin cannot release itself from the statue. This must be 
  done by destroying the statue or releasing the goblin with magic. In its native goblin form, it uses the full range 
  of statistics, losing only Curse. It can also duplicate itself at the rate of one additional goblin per round up to a 
  number equal to its current POW. It can also take Goblin Native Cat form once per night. This form has only its 
  bestial abilities and cannot use Curse, Whispering Trickery, Guardian of Secrets, or Duplication powers.

  access to a sawed of shotgun. With only 
  a little warning, he can also pull on a steel 
  lined bulletproof vest (takes three rounds). 
  However, he is unlikely to be doing his 
  own fghting, as both Juan Muerto and the 
  goblin, Nena Negra, rush to his air at the 
  frst sign of trouble.
  Nena Negra, Te Goblin of Bourbon 
  Street: Te goblin, the pseudo-familiar of 
  the wizard Santos Hernandez, never leaves 
  the shop. She is the guardian of Te Shadow 
  Stacks Bookstore and Art Gallery, dwelling 
  there within her statue, day and night. Te 
  only time in recent memory that she’s left the 
  shop was in pursuit of the burglar, Mordechai 
  Whateley. Currently, she is on her best 
  behavior after receiving a severe reprimand 
  from her master. Santos disapproved of her 
  all too public actions, although he feels the 
  violence was completely justifed. Should 
  anyone else attempt to break in, she tries to 
  be more subtle in how she deals with things. 
  To her, Te Shadow Stacks Bookstore 
  and Art Gallery is a glorious cancer upon 
  humanity, spreading the blasphemous taint 
  of forbidden knowledge to mankind. Such 
  a place MUST be protected. 
  Nene Negra, the Golden Goblin Idol owned 
  by Santos Hernandez, has many diferences 
  from the one owned by the brothers Samuel 
  and John Addleton in New York. Te 
  description of Addleton’s Golden Goblin is 
  given here for the Keeper’s reference, with 
  the key diferences between the Manhattan 
  idol and the French Quarter one noted to 
  avoid confusion.
  Resolution
  Once the investigators discover Te Shadow 
  Stacks and Art Gallery, their objective 
  should be to shut the place down. Te 
  shop is dangerous, for the knowledge it so 
  readily distributes is likely responsible for 
  causing countless tragedies across the world. 
  However, Mr. Hernandez is not personally 
  hurting anyone (indirectly so, yes).
  If investigators only wish to punish the one 
  responsible for the animal attacks, they must 
  defeat the Goblin, which likely means taking 
  on Santos Hernandez and Juan Muerto 
  as well (no small task). While arson is a 
  possibility, as a fre would destroying the 
  books and art, Santos Hernandez would 
  likely escape (possibly with the Goblin 
  Statue and/or Juan Muerto). Also, many 
  innocent people would likely die as the fre 
  spread to several of the adjacent buildings.
  Unless Santos Hernandez is killed or 
  persuaded to removes the spell over

  into another wizard's lair, and that his death 
  need not be avenged at all. Exactly how the 
  investigators resolve (or do not resolve) this 
  situation is up to them.
