With the Delilah anchored at a cautious distance, Mac, Danny, and Matthew climb aboard the stranded freighter and begin a methodical search through its frozen superstructure. What starts as a strange, abandoned kitchen and a dust-choked captain’s log quickly gives way to overturned tables, congealed stains, and signs of a struggle that ended violently and without warning. Every level of the ship feels more wrong than the last—silent corridors, shattered glass where it has no business being, and the first undeniable evidence that not everyone left this place alive.
As the trio pushes higher toward the radio room in hopes of raising help, they discover just how thoroughly someone tried to sever this ship from the outside world. When the Derelict’s secrets finally intersect with the Delilah’s, the friends realize they may no longer be the only ones out here in the ice—and that their supposed lifeline back to safety might already be in danger.
About the Chronicle
The Derelict is a Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition scenario brought to life by Twin Cities by Night, adapted from the classic adventure written by Sandy Petersen with Mike Mason. Set against the bleak, indifferent expanse of the North Atlantic, it follows a small group of friends whose farewell voyage becomes a desperate struggle once they cross paths with an abandoned freighter locked in the ice.
Blending character-driven drama, slow-burn tension, and creeping cosmic dread, The Derelict stands as a self-contained story within Twin Cities by Night’s wider anthology of Call of Cthulhu tales—perfect for listeners who want to step aboard for a single, haunting voyage into the unknown.
