As usual, comment here lest Dam pelt you (and me) with rotten tomatoes (his new red face is a warning of such):

Worms Rising
“Isabelle! Oh God, Isabelle!” Jenny wept. Joe held her and tried to comfort her. A cold comfort. The Rat-things had gotten her. Oh God… They giggled as they gnawed, as she shrieked. And she saw! She saw from the cage.... Her sister dying again. World after world. Was there no respite? How could the nun see such things and not doubt her faith? Was she mad? A fool? A hypocrite? What kind of God would allow such abominations to wreak such destruction? The father of the things giggled as it died. Far more sinister than that serpentine demon of ice. Its perverse delight in malice chilled her bones though the world was finally warm again. The witch… Hecate. Hecate was responsible for this. She would have revenge. Joe stroked her hair softly, but the hate did not leave her. Her tears had dried as her heart burned with the warmth of rage. And then the earth shook.
Fire blazed in the streets. Geysers of lava burnt rocket like through the sky. Buildings began to burst into flame. The ground shrieked and a deep fissure ran through the street, separating her and Joe. A Cthonian like none she had ever seen seemed to grow into the sky. She shouted to Joe to get his weapons— they’d need them— that they’d meet up later. She half-heartedly prayed she was right. Where God, where was the respite?

Joe streaked to the station, wondering when he would find out the meaning of the strange tasks Carl Stanford was putting him to. It was good money though. Charlie told him he should stop. But it was very good money. The kind you don’t turn down. It was definitely fishy though. And Roland had told him some strange stories about fish. Then there’s Tony, he’s also doing things for mysterious strangers. Corpse collectors… There was definitely another something going on in Arkham, but there wasn’t time to find out what. Not with the noises under his feet. Not yet.
The cases still weren’t coming together… And something was following him beneath the ground, he was sure of it. He needed to get back to the station. What would it take to take out that thing looming over the town like a tower? He hadn’t a clue, but he would. He always got the answers. Because he was Joe Diamond, he grinned, and he was that **** good. And even if he wasn’t, he was sure he could find some dynamite somewhere. The noises under his feet grew louder. He ran faster.

Special Rules:
A fissure prevents investigators from moving between Merchant District streets and Rivertown streets, or between Miskatonic University streets and French Hill streets.
Cultists, Cthonians, and Lloigors are endless Spawn monsters. If they would be placed in the outskirts, place them in The Black Cave instead.
When Cthonians or Lloigors move, if they move on a six, each investigator in Arkham must roll a die before taking damage, each investigator who rolls a failure is reduced to zero stamina instead and must draw an extra injury in addition to normal penalties for being knocked unconscious. Investigators with injuries can not retire.

Cultists have Weapons Immunity, and Magical Resistance.
Shudde M’ell has Weapon Immunity instead of Physical and Magical Resistance.
