Cthulhu'ish alien adventure?

[Kilted_Avenger]

Hey, does anyone remember the name of a Champions adventure (3rd edition I think) where some Cthulhu-type aliens had crash landed in Norway long ago and re-emerged in modern times? I don't remember the exact plot, but I think the aliens were mind controlling people to get them to free them from the ice? One of the NPCs was a Norwegian engergy projector named Northern Star (or something like that). Any how, does this adventure ring a bell with anyone? I'd like to try to find it again as it was pretty unique.

Addendum: Found the following notation of this adventure in the Champions Universe history:

"50,000 BC
A starship carrying Servitors of the Ancient Ones comes to Earth to investigate its potential for conquest by their masters. Due to an on-board mutiny, the starship crashes in what is now Norway and is trapped in the ice."

Yes indeed. That scenario was a major portion of the classic adventure module, Wrath of the Seven Horsemen.

Yes, yes!! That's it! Thanks, Lord L!

One thing I really appreciated about that adventure is its long-term use potential. There are a ton of things left at the end that can be carried forward into a campaign. The Horsemen and the Old Ones can become recurring villains, with the potential for new villains to be created to join or replace them. A number of artifacts appear during the story that can be the basis for hero or villain origins, or McGuffins driving scenarios with rival groups trying to acquire them: the Worm Scepter; the Stone Crown; the alien spaceship leaking radiation and filled with unknown artifacts; eggs of the Old Ones which might have survived preserved in the ice.

Yeah, to this day I use elements that I found in that adventure. Who ever wrote that one did a bang up job!

That was the estimable Andrew Robinson, who IIRC also created PRIMUS and DEMON.

In the official 5E continuity the Elder Worm were rulers of the primitive Earth, and Elder Worm artifacts are hidden around the world, so it would be pretty easy to introduce Wot7H into current continuity. Just switch the Prime with one of the published write-ups for the Slug (choice depending on how powerful you want him to be) and you're pretty much ready to go.

Yeah I still use the Prime et all, plus a boatload of my own...they have comtempt for the Eldar Worm as "newbs"... :)
