Note: This session was played almost exactly 2 years after the previous one, mainly as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Cairo, Tuesday, March 10th 1925 | evening
Kicking butts and taking names – part 2
The session began with the PCs still in the great chamber of Nyarlathotep, just after they dumped the indestructible mummy of Queen Nitocris into the pool of black goo, a measure to prevent the cultists resurrecting the evil queen. The PCs decide to do a closer search of the room and adjoining corridors, as well as document the place with Slim’s camera. Special attention is paid to the stele, which is documented thoroughly for later study. After the search, the investigators retreat the same way that they came and go back to their lodgings at Shepheard’s Hotel.
Cairo, Wednesday, March 11th 1925 | morning
Getting the hell out of Dodge
The investigators have by now realized that they have pissed off a lot of dangerous people in Egypt and also that they seem to have run out of clues. Over the hotel breakfast, they decide to leave Egypt for Kenya, since that is where the leads point to.
Slim and Carl head over to The Cairo Bulletin to develop the photos of the stele, and while there they are make sure to tell everybody about their coming trip to Russia. Everywhere they go, there seem to be a lot of cats, almost as if the felines are following them… Annoyed by the cats, Slim tries to kick one to chase them away but this only results in him being attacked and scratched by the cat instead (he rolled a 00).
The photos of the stele are then taken to Dr. Kafour for safekeeping and further analysis at the Egyptian Museum.
Meanwhile, Mohammad is sent to procure passage to Kenya for the group. He later returns with tickets for one of Baffrey’s Shipping Company’s ships, M/S Karabodjan. The ship leaves for Mombasa tomorrow and the trip will take some 6 days, including a stop In Aden.
The investigators also set up a meeting with Neris, to return the borrowed scrolls, but not after having documented them as well with the camera. After this, the annoying cats just disappear.
And here we took a break for the evening.
