The Prince in Yellow, now an Eldritch monster again, is hovering over the corpse of a lumberjack in the forest.
Kezzolan is shadowing the Prince from a distance. He knows he shouldn’t be following such a dangerous creature, but he just can’t help himself.

Make a stealth check if you want to make sure the Prince doesn’t see Kezzolan.
The Prince grabs the Dead Lumberjack’s arm, using one of its hands to gently trace a pattern on their shoulder: a dot with three lines curving slightly around it, like a spiral.

The prince doesn’t notice Kezzolan.
the shapes that the prince traces with its hands suddenly start to glow yellow, before fading again, becoming invisible.

He’s seen this sign before. It regarded as something so horribly dangerous and disastrous that any pictures or sketches of it were burned. It’s the mark of Carcosa, a yellow light in the sky, the home of one of the great old ones. The more common name for the sigil, is the yellow sign.
Kezzolan knows the sigil, and the secrets that follow alongside it. He steps out from his hiding place and approaches the Prince in Yellow with a confidence he doesn’t feel. “Carcosa, that land beyond the horizon . . . what are you, Prince?”

”the son of a father, heir to ruins. The twin suns dim, we must rebuild.”
“Twin suns?” Kezzolan frowns. “Are you sure? I only see one. Two would probably be unpleasant.”

“the Twin Suns of Carcosa, Eternities away from this world.”
“Riiiight. And lemme guess, you’re trying to get back home?”

”no, Home cannot be saved. I must find a new home. I traveled to this place for that very reason.”
“This home already has inhabitants. What of them?”

“If they are friendly, we can coexist. If they are hostile, they must be destroyed. No harm shall come to those of New Carcosa. I shall prevent it.”
“‘Coexist?” Call me a pessimist, dear Prince, but I’ve never seen a relationship between the Great Old Ones and humanoid peoples that entails anything other than unquestioning servitude on the part of the humanoids.”

It looks to them from the lumberjack, it’s mask quite unsettling in the dark of the forest.
”then they shall be destroyed.”
Kezzolan nods to the lumberjack. “What’d he do?”
