George at the mountains of madness

George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.

His navigation skills were awful, and the ship ran aground on Antarctica.

Members of the crew who left to hunt giant penguins for food mysteriously vanished.

George himself led a rescue team, only to discover the hunting party’s horribly mutilated corpses.

Further George went, coming upon the wall of a strange stone city.

Pools of bubbling, putrid masses, babbling insane nonsense.

“The Elder Things,” mumbled the first mate, before he tore out his own eyes.

George ordered a retreat and, for years, warned others never to sail there again.
