Join Frank and Peter as they look at another investigator for Arkham Horror. This time, it's the redeemed cultist. She was a Silver Twilight Lodge insider, but what she discovered in the inner reaches of the Lodge terrified her, and now she's out to stop them causing any more harm: Diana Stanley. Weak-willed but incredibly robust, Diana takes the fight back to the Mythos with her proclivity for cancellation.
