All of this took place within about 12 hours, a pretty good start to an investigation. I'm excited to see how they handle investigating while on the lam. They're in a decent spot right now, the cops are now crawling all over the carnival, which makes the cultist's lives very hard, but they're also wanted men, which means they're going to have to work hard to sneak in and investigate. Several members of the cult have various ideas on how to deal with the PCs, some want to just kill them and be done with it, but the owner (rightly) surmises that any dead bodies that have been killed by bullet or blade will inevitably raise more questions and possibly lead the cops to them. A pair of Cthonians are the monsters of this module, and now they're actively hunting the PCs along with the cult. The next sesh is in a week, can't wait
