The legendary eight-sided artifact Dagon's Octangle which reportedly sank aboard the Spanish vessel La Maria de Patache after the invasion of the English Channel by the Spanish Armada has been discovered in the Gulf of Mexico off the Yucatan Peninsula under water in the Chicxulub event crater by the crew of the SS Telemachus under the supervision of Professor Dedrick Laban formerly of Essex County, MA. The patache was a small rescue vessel dispatched to find the lost Spanish Armada supply ship Nuestra de los Axarquia lost at sea by the same freak August storm which destroyed Spain's Grande y Felisima Armada in August of 1588.
"The Seventy-Seven Steps To Light Slumber," a priceless Sumerian bas-relief which first arrived through the port of Innsmouth over two hundred and forty years ago has an accurate representation of the octangular shape embedded in its features. The bas-relief which had circulated from private collector to private collector for decades, currently resides in the hands of the Dryor Family Antiquities Foundation. These are some of the same people responsible for sponsoring cable television\'s Home Broadcasting Network's Antiques Sideshow and bringing the show to an auditorium within several hundred miles of Innsmouth and Arkham.
Owners of the Sumerian artwork also claim to be haunted by nightmares of a half-human half-tentacled creature inspired by a murky figure detailed in the bas-relief. Occasionally someone who slumbers close to this depiction of "The Seventy-Seven Steps" dreams of descending the staircase and confronting some of the mysteries there.
The scientific research vessel Telemachus is under lease to the International Collegiate Consortium representing five countries.
A narrative account of the tale of the both "The Seventy-Seven Steps To Lighter Slumber" and the discovery of Dagon's Octangle is detailed in the novel Dagon's Octangle currently available from Red Rose Publishing.
