Punchy's message, as repeated by Knox, is a bit confused. Apparently, Punchy had heard through the grapevine that Dusty was on a road trip, and Punchy thought it would be "a gas" if Dusty would come down to New Orleans to visit him, and suggests that Dusty "lay rubber".

Summary

(Spoiler alert: this summary reveals plot details of the adventure "Watcher In The Bayou", by Mark Eley, from the Triad Entertainment sourcebook Dwellers In Shadow.)

While fueling up the motorhome at a Shell station, the gang calls back to Miskatonic to check in with Professor Knox. Knox tells the gang that Dusty received a call from Dusty's boarding school chum, Lord "Punchy" Partfine.

Where did Punchy Partfine get his nickname? Punchy's given name is 'Lord', but no one wanted to call him that. Partfine led to 'Party', which led to 'Punchbowl', which led to 'Punchy'.

Punchy's message, as repeated by Knox, is a bit confused. Apparently, Punchy had heard through the grapevine that Dusty was on a road trip, and Punchy thought it would be "a gas" if Dusty would come down to New Orleans to visit him, and suggests that Dusty "lay rubber".

For a week or so, Punchy is an enthusiastic host, taking the gang to jazz concerts, crawfish boils, and groovy dance clubs in the French Quarter. Just before the gang is about to head on to the next leg of their journey, Punchy receives a letter from one of his tenants, a Cajun named Jean-Claude DuMoss. DuMoss apparently believes that a local bogeyman called "Père Malfait" is stalking the bayou around Deadwater Lake, and wants Punchy to hire hunters to track it down and capture it. Punchy says it would be outta sight if they take Dusty's hip new wheels down to Cajun country to check it out.
