GRIMLORE: Samhain—Veil of the Ember Lodge (Halloween Special)
Stop a Samhain cult from corrupting the gateways between worlds. It’s October 1925 on the Meath/Cavan line; hearths are dark, hillfires are ready, and the Ember Lodge means to turn Halloween into a permanent breach. As investigator Henry Ainsworth, race to reinforce three thinning veils—then face the Hierophant at Tlachtga’s hillfire before the night decides what stays and what crosses.
Enjoy this case file for GRIMLORE Profane Truths: a compact, puzzle-driven Lovecraftian scenario with tight lore and crunchy decisions.
Highlights
* New seal mechanic: Secure three sites (Crossroads, Bog Cairn, Ring of Twelve) to earn Seal Tokens that blunt the boss’s powers.
* Clever finale: Every unsealed gateway powers up the Hierophant - close the ellipse or watch the veil invert.
* Clean Samhain vibe: Rooted in Gaelic tradition.
* Three bespoke foes: Ember-Bearer, Catgut Trapper, and the Hierophant of the Ember Lodge.
Light the common fire. Turn the lamps outward. Hold the veil.
