(Stat Crunch) Spawn of Azathoth

While everyone harps on Masks of Nylarahotep being a meat grinder, no one dares mention how Spawn of Azathoth is a complete slaughterama.  Outside of Providence, the opportunity for the complete annihilation of the party lurks in every corner of every other location. It is a campaign for a calculating, experienced party looking for a grand finale, and what better musician is better to send them off but Azathoth?

For those who haven't discovered my previous analysis, each chapter is broken down into the noted skill checks, total possible sanity loss (worst/best case), total sanity reward, and any Cthulhu Mythos earned via text, although not monster.

Providence is huge, not only in sheer page count, but to accumulate sufficient plot hooks. The good news is the team should be able to piece together enough to go forward with the big picture, even if no one has points in Medicine.

Montana could get nasty in a fight, but it can be accomplished with minimal SAN loss, and a potential to actually gain SAN.

Florida is more investigation, some ocean adventure, and a lot of chances to be killed. Sanity ain't that bad.

Tropical exploration and action, not much for the traditional skill set.

Perhaps it's the previous two chapters that set the tone of a meat grinder. Every positive step in the right direction causes three steps of misery.
