In game time: February 3, 1925
The Victims: William, Eric, Roland, James,
Alexander
Summery: The survivors
of the ocean trip arrive in London and meet Alexander St. James who was
arranged to help them while they were in London. He helps them check
in as they figure out what they have to do. The initial plan is to
take the copy of the tablet to the British Museum and see if they can locate
someone who knows something about it. William and James also want
to ask an expert about cults so Alex gives them directions to the anthropology
department. After getting rather lost they manage to find someone
who was very helpful. Roland and Alex have less luck as Alex's friend
can't tell what the writing says but points them toward the linguistics
group. They become very excited upon seeing the tablet. While
they have seen the writing before, they can't identify or translate it.
The group gets back together and Eric buys a newspaper to try to find out
what's going on. They then go to the office of The Scoop where they
find that Elias was nervous while there and was focused on several recent
articles. The originals of those articles had vanished, but they
still had copies of the papers lying around.
Plot Threads: How
does the Brotherhood of the Black Pharoah fit into this? Who's killing
the people and why? What's going on in Lesser-Edale? Why was
Elias so interested in that artist?
Most Valuable Character:
William and Eric for getting some major clues
Biggest Blunder: Everyone who decided
to wander off in the British Museum
