Call of Cthulhu: Down Darker Trails "Missouri Crossing" Chapter 17: What the River Brings
A quiet walk back toward camp turns into an unexpected detour when Sister Margaret is swept into a surprise Sister Michael has prepared for her—one small, much-needed moment of comfort in a town that rarely offers any. But just as Margaret begins to relax, something jolts her back to reality: frightened voices, running footsteps, and a commotion gathering at the riverbank.
When she rushes outside, she finds the women of the camp clustered around something drifting in the shallows. No one recognizes who—or what—it is, and the sight of it sends a shiver through the entire settlement. As Margaret works to steady Sister Michael and make sense of what’s happened, unease spreads fast. Whatever came down the river didn’t come alone; it brought questions the town isn’t ready to answer.
About the Chronicle
Call of Cthulhu – Down Darker Trails: Missouri Crossing is a Western horror campaign set in 1867, using the Down Darker Trails supplement for Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition. The story follows the founding generations of Missouri Crossing, a rough camp town in what will one day become Bismarck, North Dakota—decades before the events of The Ultimate Evil. As immigrants, veterans, and drifters stake their claim on a cold, contested landscape, they must navigate community, lawlessness, prejudice, and the brutal realities of frontier life. Against this backdrop of manifest destiny, “northern horror” takes shape: long distances, bitter weather, scarce resources, and the creeping realization that some things lurking beyond the firelight are far worse than bandits or hunger.
