Your characters are arriving someplace they've never been before because someone they know has vanished or died.

On a visit to a place you've never been before because someone you know has vanished or died, you encounter other individuals, whom you would never normally interact with, who are also in this place because someone they know/knew (possibly the same person you know/knew) has vanished or died.

You start jerking off in a Vietnam military plane filled with other dudes waiting to make an air drop.

Adam Scott Glancy is not present but his notes are.

Blair Reynolds has an idea on how to solve the current problem.

You read the book

You don't read the book

You're asked if you want to live forever

You're prevented from getting any firearms or explosives whatsover

You're allowed to take whatever guns and explosives you can carry

Your party walks out into a street.....

Come on, now your not even trying to echo cliches. What horrible thing happened to your CoC character when they walked into a street? (Please note: this is a beautiful set up question, do not waste it).

We had two choices, one was to stay inside a house after hearing a creepy noise from the basement, the other was to get the hell out.

We decided to get the hell out, and it was only slightly worse than staying in the house.

Needless to say, most of us died or went insane.

Cultists controlling the thing that was inside the house weren't alone.

I can't remember exactly what the things were, I think they were Shoggies.

Our Gm had fun with us that day.

You discover that the air vents, conveniently, are large enough to be crawled around in.

You discover a hole and the GM says "It is too small for anything living to go through"

You hear a voice but don't see the speaker.

You hear a voice, and realize it's coming from your body, but it's not you making the sound.

You find a tunnel inside a house.

You find a tunnel inside a mausoleum.

You find a tunnel inside another tunnel.
