Mandy heard the door of Sanford’s office click shut behind her – the heavy click of a heavy door with a heavy well-maintained lock. Everything was heavy about Sanford including the two ‘assistants’ who were escorting her back to the member’s common room. Both appeared Asian in origin and although immaculately dressed in tailored evening suits Mandy could see several tattoos creeping from under starched cuffs and over collars. Corded muscles stretched the worsted cloth. Mandy guessed they had been sailors – their hands were calloused and their faces had the weather-beaten look of experienced seamen. They had both flanked Sanford as Mandy had agreed to join the Order of the Silver Twilight. Impassive eidolons as the man himself had smiled like a shark. “A woman of your impressive academic qualities will be an absolute asset to us, my dear. Several of your University colleagues are members – Miskatonic alumni are always valued here at the lodge.” Sanford had presented her with a badge with a constellation of silver stars behind a crescent moon on a field of dark blue enamel. “We do a little better than a piece of card here!” he chuckled to himself. “Please have a look around. Pop that on your lapel and our staff will know you have full access to our facilities. I do look forward to your first full meeting next… ah… Thursday evening. We always have a short welcoming ceremony for new members.” Sanford had briefly glanced at his black leather-bound diary on the walnut desk in front of him. Mandy intuitively guessed that next Thursday was the upcoming full moon.
Once in the members salon and Sanford’s assistants had returned to their master Mandy had begun to explore the lodge itself. Several members were clearly socialising; others were reading and a few more wandered this way and that between various rooms. Mandy recognised no one – certainly she could not see anyone she knew from the University. “Excuse me?” said a voice by her elbow. Mandy started and turned quickly. A medium set man with a dark suit stood just behind her. He had a bald head, pencil moustache and thick rimmed glasses. “Oh my dear I’m sorry. Did I startle you? I’m called Stanway. Cedric Stanway. Carl asked me to show you around. There is so much to see! In fact, there is something very interesting in the Chamber right this minute. If we are quick, you should be able to see it. They don’t usually manifest for long!”

About Arkham Horror, from BoardGameGeek:
The year is 1926, and it is the height of the Roaring Twenties. Flappers dance till dawn in smoke-filled speakeasies drinking alcohol supplied by rum runners and the mob. It's a celebration to end all celebrations in the aftermath of the war to end all wars.
Yet a dark shadow grows in the city of Arkham. Alien entities known as Ancient Ones lurk in the emptiness beyond space and time, writhing at the gates between worlds. These gates have begun to open and must be closed before the Ancient Ones make our world their ruined domination.
Only a handful of investigators stand against the Arkham Horror. Will they Prevail?
Arkham Horror is a cooperative adventure game themed around H.P Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. Players choose from 16 Investigators and take to the streets of Arkham. Before the game, one of the eight Ancient Ones is chosen and it's up to the Investigators to prevent it from breaking into our world. During the course of the game, players will upgrade their characters by acquiring skills, allies, items, weapons, and spells. It's up to the players to clean out the streets of Arkham by fighting many different types of monsters, but their main goal is to close gates to other dimensions that are opening up around town. With too many gates open the Ancient One awakens and the players only have one last chance to save the world - defeat the Ancient One in combat!
