(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): You two are in a dank prison cell somewhere that you don't know
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): You two are in a dank prison cell somewhere that you don't know
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Please communicate via the whisper function with me
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Please communicate via the whisper function with me
[Keeper]: Alright, the rest of you were in Alex's apartment and had just opened the vial
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): right.
[Allen Speight]: I had collected a sample a re-stoppered the vial
[Allen Speight]: and
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Am I bound?  If not I'll look around and see what I can find out
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Chris, you've been there for a few days.  The only time you saw someone was when two men tossed Roland into the cell
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Chris, you've been there for a few days.  The only time you saw someone was when two men tossed Roland into the cell
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): You haven't been fed, but there was a bit of foul tasting water in the cell
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): You haven't been fed, but there was a bit of foul tasting water in the cell
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Neither of you are bound
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Neither of you are bound
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): The walls are stone and the floor is soft earth
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): The walls are stone and the floor is soft earth
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Do I have any idea what I'm doing here or who brought me?
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): The door itself is a set of rusty bars
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): The door itself is a set of rusty bars
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Greetings friend.  My name is Roland.  We need to get out of this filthy place!"
[Early Hutz]: hello?
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Chris, the only thing you know is you saw three guys beating someone with some odd looking clubs
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Chris, the only thing you know is you saw three guys beating someone with some odd looking clubs
[Alexander St. James]: 
[Allen Speight]: Someone refresh my memory -- we have a dagger, a robe, the vial, and a heap of books?
[Keeper]: And scrolls
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I'd second that, but..(cough) llok at this place.
[Allen Speight]: scrolls, ok
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): You tried to help and got beaten for the effort
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): You tried to help and got beaten for the effort
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): 
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): 
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Yes, lets.  See if we can find a way out."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Roland, they took your notebook and other belongings
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Roland, they took your notebook and other belongings
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): All you've got is your clothes
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): All you've got is your clothes
[William Hollis]: so, how are we going to get some leads on where Roland is?
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): bastards!
[Sebastian Dark]: weren't we going to try the scoop?
[Alexander St. James]: "Well, I think we should, as suggested, check the Scoop."
[Keeper]: I believe Allen has something to do as well
[Alexander St. James]: "They have more contacts.  They might have picked up something."
[Allen Speight]: Yes, and we also wanted to dump the books somewhere, and perhaps put the dagger, etc., in a bank box
[Keeper]: And some people were going to try to protect the items you found
[Allen Speight]: And when we have time, I want to get this sample analyzed
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "I've just realized they've taken my notebook.  I have all my records in that book.  if we escape I'm going to have to get it back."
[Allen Speight]: I don't think the books are crucial, I say we leave them here and save ourselves a headache
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I'm going to look around the cell, see if I can find any weakspots on the wall or anyway to get past the door.
[Keeper]: So, apartment team.  Who is going to do what?
[Allen Speight]: under lock and key though
[Alexander St. James]: "I'd prefer to hang on to the books, myself."
[Alexander St. James]: "Okay, one group to go over to the Scoop, one to put the stuff in a bank box."
[Allen Speight]: Fair enough -- I'd like to go to the Scoop
[Early Hutz]: "I'll join the doctor."
[William Hollis]: Does anyone have a bank box in this city? 
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Well, the floor is soft.  If you want to work at digging at it you might be able to get somewhere
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Well, the floor is soft.  If you want to work at digging at it you might be able to get somewhere
[Allen Speight]: Not me, I think we'd have to open a new one
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): The door itself is very sturdy and you can't see the lock mechanism
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): The door itself is very sturdy and you can't see the lock mechanism
[William Hollis]: how much does that cost?
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Do I remember anything about the location of the building I'm in, whether i'm underground or was I knocked out?
[Allen Speight]: Hrmm . .. what about a hotel safe?
[Allen Speight]: not secure enough?
[Sebastian Dark]: "A hotel safe probably won't be secure enough"
[Alexander St. James]: "I'd prefer the bank box."
[Allen Speight]: alright then
[Sebastian Dark]: "Besides, with the way hotels are burning down lately"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): You were unconcious when they brought you both it
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): You were unconcious when they brought you both it
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): in
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): in
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): You don't know where the building is
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): You don't know where the building is
[Alexander St. James]: "Another point."
[William Hollis]: i'll take the items and find a bank to store them at....anyone coming with?
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): is there a window in the door or any other source of outside light?
[Sebastian Dark]: "I'll go to the bank"
[Alexander St. James]: "I'll go with William."
Allen Speight rings for a cab to take us to the Scoop
[William Hollis]: okay, how much money do we have on us?
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): There's very faint light from an overhead electrical source a bit outside of the cell, but nothing inside it
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): There's very faint light from an overhead electrical source a bit outside of the cell, but nothing inside it
William Hollis checks his pockets
[Keeper]: You've got however much you were carrying on you before
Sebastian Dark counts his money
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): So there is a window?
[Keeper]: Sebastian actually has quite a bit of money
[Allen Speight]: roughly 200 pounds was the earlier estimate, I believe
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): No window
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): No window
[Keeper]: Right, but Sebastian has that much himself on him
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): then how is the light from outside of the cell getting in?
[Sebastian Dark]: "I got some here."
[Keeper]: And I'm sure Dr. Speight as an English citizen probably has a few pounds in the bank
[Allen Speight]: a few ;)
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): It's an electrical light outside of the cell
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): It's an electrical light outside of the cell
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): The door is simply a set of bars (like a jail cell)
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): The door is simply a set of bars (like a jail cell)
[Sebastian Dark]: "Alright, let's grab a taxi and get out of here"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): oh... that makes sense.  Is there any possibility either of us could squeze through?
[Alexander St. James]: "Okay then.  We'll  put these things in the bank, then meet you at The Scoop."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): The bars are spaced six inches apart.  You're not getting through them
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): The bars are spaced six inches apart.  You're not getting through them
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Have I seen anything of my captors aside from them bringing in Roland?
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): No.  They have not even brought you food
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): No.  They have not even brought you food
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Chris, you wouldn't happen to know anything about locks, would you?
[Sebastian Dark]: ;wraps the vial and dagger in the robe
Sebastian Dark wraps the vial and dagger in the robe
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Are the scrolls being taken to the bank?
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Are the scrolls being taken to the bank?
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Sorry, no. I've been up and down this cell for days and I see no way out. Aside from digging, but that probably wouldn't work.
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Sorry
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Sorry
[Allen Speight]: Just Early and I going to the Scoop for now?
[Keeper]: Are the scrolls being taken to the bank?
[Keeper]: I didn't see any mention of them
[William Hollis]: i think we better take them as well
[Early Hutz]: Did I go to the Scoop the first time?  Will they recognize me?
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Both of you roll
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Both of you roll
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Well, I can't see any way out either.  Since we're here together, why don't we get acquainted?"
[Alexander St. James]: Everything from the office, I believe
(To Keeper) DICE for Chris Hyle: (1d100) :  1d100=22  = [ 22 ]
DICE for Roland Windemeer: (1d100) :  1d100=91  = [ 91 ]
[Roland Windemeer]: ooc crap
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Someone's coming
William Hollis gathers up the scrolls
Alexander St. James takes the books
[Keeper]: You went there before, but they might not know you
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Was that roll supposed to be open or just to the keeper, or did it matter?
[Keeper]: It was Roland who they really knew
[Keeper]: 
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): didn't matter
Sebastian Dark calls for a cab
[Roland Windemeer]: ooc testing...
[Keeper]: Anyone who wants a cab should probably head down to the street to wait for them
William Hollis heads downstairs, exits the building and takes a look around
Alexander St. James leaves the building
[Sebastian Dark]: "Shall we gentlemen?"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Someone is whispering at the cell next to yours.  "Anyone in there?"
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Someone is whispering at the cell next to yours.  "Anyone in there?"
Allen Speight heads down to the street, with his bag
Sebastian Dark looks out window before heading out.
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Quietly: "Yes, I hear you.  Who is this?"
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): "Who's there?"
Early Hutz follows Allen
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I motion to Chris to listen with me at the wall.
Sebastian Dark heads down to the street.
[Keeper]: Okay, in the space of a few minutes two taxis arive and one group takes earch
DICE for Keeper: (1d100) :  1d100=88  = [ 88 ]
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "Roland?  Is that you?  It's James.  I've been looking for you for hours!"
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "Roland?  Is that you?  It's James.  I've been looking for you for hours!"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "James!  Are you locked up too?"

(Keeper whispered to Sebastian Dark): Someone is following your taxi
[William Hollis]: "is there any particular bank we are going to, or just the nearest one?"
[Alexander St. James]: "Well, I assume we want one of the larger ones."
[Sebastian Dark]: (whispering)"Gent's, it seems we have sprung a tail."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "I slipped into the truck that was carrying you.  We're way out in the country."
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "I slipped into the truck that was carrying you.  We're way out in the country."
William Hollis takes a look out the cab window to see who is tailing them
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "I managed to get a key to the cells, but the place is crawling.  Something big is going on."
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "I managed to get a key to the cells, but the place is crawling.  Something big is going on."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): James steps into view and he's wearing a black hooded robe
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): James steps into view and he's wearing a black hooded robe
Allen Speight thinks "I'm glad we're not being followed."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "You didn't see what they did with my notebook, did you?  And get us out of here!"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): He unlocks your cell
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): He unlocks your cell
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): "At last!"
[Keeper]: There's a black Model T trailing your car
[Keeper]: (like there were any other colors ;) )
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "We've got to find my notes!  How am I going to write a paper on all this without them?
[Early Hutz]: ooc - our wonderful rolls mean we don't have to worry about (realizing that we are) being followed
[Sebastian Dark]: "How many people do you make out inside?"
[Alexander St. James]: ooc  Hey, they were available in any color you wanted.  As long as you wanted black, anyway.
Alexander St. James looks back
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "I didn't see what they were doing with anything."
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "I didn't see what they were doing with anything."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): He motions you out of the cell.
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): He motions you out of the cell.
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Did you see the actual men who grabbed me?"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I follow him out and look around the hallway.
[Keeper]: There's three men riding inside the car
[Keeper]: It's hard to get a good look at their features, though.
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I stagger over to the door and work out some of the pains in my legs
[Sebastian Dark]: "What do you think we should do about these guys?"
[Alexander St. James]: "What now?"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): The hallway is lined with cells like yours.  There's two on each side and after that a hallway crosses with more cells in the gloom across from it
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): The hallway is lined with cells like yours.  There's two on each side and after that a hallway crosses with more cells in the gloom across from it
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "I saw them.  I think it was some of the guys who were following us before."
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "I saw them.  I think it was some of the guys who were following us before."
[William Hollis]: "how much further to the bank?"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Well, lets see if we can find out what they are up to down here."
[Keeper]: "We're almost there now, boss, unless you want to do somethin' else."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I head down towards the intersection trying to be stealthy.
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Roll both of you
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Roll both of you
DICE for Chris Hyle: (1d100) :  1d100=81  = [ 81 ]
Sebastian Dark looks to see how busy the street is
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): ooc Argh.
[Keeper]: Fairly busy.  It's London and you're in the financial district
DICE for Roland Windemeer: (1d100) :  1d100=82  = [ 82 ]
[Roland Windemeer]: hmmm
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): The other cab is arriving at the scoop.
[Allen Speight]: ooc save those rolls for character creation, bcr
William Hollis checks to see how far behind them the model T is
[Keeper]: Four car lengths or so
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): You hear voices approaching but cannot make out what they are saying
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): You hear voices approaching but cannot make out what they are saying
[Alexander St. James]: "Think we can lose them?"
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): This isn't good.
[William Hollis]: "not in a cab, let's just get to the bank"
[Alexander St. James]: "Point."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I try to move away from the voices and hide
(Early Hutz whispered to Keeper): When we get there and get out, I'll look up and down the street for anything suspicious.
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): You pay the taxi and head on inside where there are several rather depressed looking people standing around
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): Go ahead and roll for that
DICE for Early Hutz: (1d100) :  1d100=38  = [ 38 ]
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Both of you roll
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Both of you roll

DICE for Roland Windemeer: (1d100) :  1d100=8  = [ 8 ]
DICE for Chris Hyle: (1d100) :  1d100=98  = [ 98 ]
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): Nothing on the street
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): alright, i'll follow your lead -- you know the scoop better than I
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): ooc finally...
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): ooc Ahhhh fudge
[Sebastian Dark]: "We can always stop and see if they drive by."
(Early Hutz whispered to Keeper): OK - I'll assume we're inside now.
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): sorry
(Keeper whispered to Allen Speight): Inside there are several people milling about just inside the door who look rather upset
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): Inside there are several people milling about just inside the door who look rather upset
(Early Hutz whispered to Keeper): :looks for anyone to whom we had previously spoken.
[Alexander St. James]: "Hmm.  Let's try that.  As long as we're in a busy area, they probably won't start anything."
[Keeper]: That's bad
[William Hollis]: "cabbie, could you please pull over for a second?"
[Sebastian Dark]: "But get ready to jump out just in case."
(Keeper whispered to Allen Speight): You can locate Mickey Mahoney's office without any problem
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): You can locate Mickey Mahoney's office without any problem
[Keeper]: "Sure thing!"
(Early Hutz whispered to Keeper): "Hi folks.  Mind I speak with Mr. Mahoney?"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): ..."They definitely know too much.  We're going to have to deal with them harshly."
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): ..."They definitely know too much.  We're going to have to deal with them harshly."
William Hollis keeps an eye on the model T as the cab slows
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "You think the fog might be able to deal with them?"
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "You think the fog might be able to deal with them?"
[Sebastian Dark]: whos on the curb side?
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "The time for subtlty is over."
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "The time for subtlty is over."
[Keeper]: There's various business men milling about
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I mouth to Roland "The Fog?"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I'm definitely trying to get out of sight.
[Keeper]: The Model T keeps on going past you, but it slows down and parks a ways
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I mouth back "Get out!"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "What was that?"
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "What was that?"
Alexander St. James watches to see if anyone gets out.
[Sebastian Dark]: is it a big enough crowd to get lost in?
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I'm trying to move back to the cell or the nearest place that looks like I could hide in it
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I make a gun sign at james
(Keeper whispered to Allen Speight): You enter Mickey Mahoney's office to find him rather angry.
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): You enter Mickey Mahoney's office to find him rather angry.
(Keeper whispered to Allen Speight): "You guys again!  Haven't you done enough damage?"
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): "You guys again!  Haven't you done enough damage?"
[Keeper]: No one is getting out of the taxi
(Early Hutz whispered to Keeper): "I'm sorry, but I don't know what you're talking about."
[William Hollis]: "maybe we should drive past them slowly so we can get a good look at them"
[Keeper]: You can try to loose yourselves in the crowd, but you'll ahve to roll for it
[Sebastian Dark]: "We can always try to lose them in the crowd."
[Alexander St. James]: "Okay, what if one of us were to get out and try to get them to follow, while the others proceed to the bank."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): James has a gun ready, but pulls Roland into an alcove next to a cell
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): James has a gun ready, but pulls Roland into an alcove next to a cell
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Two men turn the corner and spot Chris
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Two men turn the corner and spot Chris
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I try to flatten out and be quiet
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): One is very recognizable to Roland as Gavigan
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): One is very recognizable to Roland as Gavigan
[William Hollis]: "well, i would go for it...do you think it is a good idea though?"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Keeper: Are they armed?
(Keeper whispered to Allen Speight): "Our best reporter was found murdered last night after following that guy for you."
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): "Our best reporter was found murdered last night after following that guy for you."
(Keeper whispered to Allen Speight): "Beaten to death."
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): "Beaten to death."
[Sebastian Dark]: "If your armed it might work."
(Early Hutz whispered to Keeper): "Dear God.  I'm sorry."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Not from what you can see
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): Not from what you can see
[Alexander St. James]: "Well, if they don't know who has the stuff..."
[William Hollis]: "i always keep myself armed"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I make a gun shooting sign at James
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): "Roland has also been kidnapped."
[William Hollis]: "cabbie, could you tell us how to get to the bank from here?"
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I'm going to try to get them to chase me and pass James and Roland in the process so they can get them from behind or something
[Sebastian Dark]: "Or we could try 3 different cabs with one of us in each one."
[William Hollis]: 
[Alexander St. James]: "That's a thought.  Why don't we split up and put the things in different banks."
(Keeper whispered to Alexander St. James): "He deserves it, the bum."
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): "He deserves it, the bum."
(Keeper whispered to Alexander St. James): "What little we found out wasn't worth Phil's life."
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): "What little we found out wasn't worth Phil's life."
(Early Hutz whispered to Keeper): "We're trying to find him.  If you can get us any information, we may be able to find whoever killed your reporter."
(Early Hutz whispered to Keeper): "What did Phil find?"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Chris tries to push past both of them, but the man you do not recognize pulls a gun
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Chris tries to push past both of them, but the man you do not recognize pulls a gun
(Alexander St. James whispered to Keeper): ?
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): "The fellows who grabbed Roland appeared to be Arabic . . . and rather large."
[Sebastian Dark]: ooc I think I just heard Joel groan or possibly giggle at the idea of us splitting up into more groups.
[Keeper]: Panic is more like it
[Sebastian Dark]: "I can take these to the nearest one."
[Keeper]: I've got enough trouble with three of you with major action happening at once
[Alexander St. James]: ooc Nah, he loves it when we split up.
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Do they see James and I?  If not I wait to see what happens.
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): No
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): No
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "Hold it right there.  I don't know how you escaped but we'll just take you to the alter now and save us the trouble."
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "Hold it right there.  I don't know how you escaped but we'll just take you to the alter now and save us the trouble."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Once I'm past them, I stop, face them and rasise my hands
[William Hollis]: did the cabbie give me directions to the bank from here yet?
[Keeper]: Yes, it's another two blocks up the road on the right
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): "Wait...please! What's going on here? Why did you take me?"
[Alexander St. James]: "Let's split the stuff up if we're going three ways.  I'll take the books, you guys split the scrolls and the other items."
[Sebastian Dark]: "Well, 2 blocks isn't that far."
(Keeper whispered to Alexander St. James): "My men trailed Gavigan to a spice shop in Soho.  He met with the owner and then they split up."
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): "My men trailed Gavigan to a spice shop in Soho.  He met with the owner and then they split up."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I make a turn around motion to James, then a gun shooting motion.
[William Hollis]: "okay, i think i'm going to get out here and walk to the bank, i'll take the robe and knife, you guys can keep the more important stuff and meet me at the bank"
[Sebastian Dark]: "is there a post office nearby?"
[William Hollis]: "unless someone else has any ideas?"
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): "Have there been any rumors of Egyptian cultists or criminals in town recently?"
(Early Hutz whispered to Keeper): "Do you have an address?"
(Keeper whispered to Alexander St. James): "One guy followed the owner, Tewfik Al-Sayed to an estate in the country."
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): "One guy followed the owner, Tewfik Al-Sayed to an estate in the country."
(Alexander St. James whispered to Keeper): I think you've got me grouped with another party in whispering.
(Keeper whispered to Alexander St. James): "The other followed Gavigan and turned up dead."
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): "The other followed Gavigan and turned up dead."
(Keeper whispered to Alexander St. James): Sorry
[Keeper]: No post office in view
(Keeper whispered to Allen Speight): "I haven't heard anything about egyptian cults, but something must be happening."
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): "I haven't heard anything about egyptian cults, but something must be happening."
[Alexander St. James]: "Okay, let's do that now, and see how our tails respond."
[Sebastian Dark]: "Actually I think we should split the vial,knife and robe up between us"
(Keeper whispered to Allen Speight): "I can give you an address, but I don't want to see you guys again unless you have a story.  You'll get no more favors from The Scoop after what you did, not telling us how dangerous it is."
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): "I can give you an address, but I don't want to see you guys again unless you have a story.  You'll get no more favors from The Scoop after what you did, not telling us how dangerous it is."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Okay
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Okay
(Early Hutz whispered to Keeper): "I am truly sorry.  I lost one of my reporters on this journey, too.  I would like to do something about it though, so if you could give us addresses, I'll appreciate it."
[Alexander St. James]: How large are the books?
[Keeper]: Very large
[Sebastian Dark]: "They are probably the most important items."
[Keeper]: Folio sized
[William Hollis]: "i'll take the robe and knife, you two can split up the scrolls and vial, since i think those are the most important items"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Roland, Gavigan and the other man do have their back to you and James
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Roland, Gavigan and the other man do have their back to you and James
[Alexander St. James]: "I'm thinking the books are pretty important, myself."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): They're holding the weapon on Chris
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): They're holding the weapon on Chris
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): "Fair enough, sir.  We will find justice for the death of your man, and give you the exclusive on the story.  Our apologies again for you loss."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I motion for James to shoot at the guy holding the gun.
(Keeper whispered to Allen Speight): He jots down the information on a sheet of paper for you.  There's an address in Soho and a location some distance from London...
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): He jots down the information on a sheet of paper for you.  There's an address in Soho and a location some distance from London...
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Can I see Roland and James over the shoulders of the men?
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): You can now as James steps out of the shadows holding a gun
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): You can now as James steps out of the shadows holding a gun
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): "Anything else you can tell us about these locations, anything else Phil might have mentioned in passing?"
[Sebastian Dark]: "OK, William you take the knife an the robe,  I'll take the vial, some scrolls and some books.  Alex you get the rest."
(Early Hutz whispered to Keeper): ooc - bad choice of words. ;-)
William Hollis takes the robe and knife and exits the cab, keeping an eye on the Model T
(Keeper whispered to Allen Speight): The estate belongs to Gavigan himself.
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): The estate belongs to Gavigan himself.
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I get ready to drop to the floor when he fires
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): ooc hehe oops
DICE for Keeper: (1d100) :  1d100=48  = [ 48 ]
Sebastian Dark keeps an eye on the Model T also
[William Hollis]: "meet you at the bank...we can decide what to once we get there"
[William Hollis]: what to do, that is
[Keeper]: As you split up, them men exit the car to follow each of you
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I'm going to try to tackle Gavigan after James fires.
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): The estate would be the country address, I assume?
(Early Hutz whispered to Keeper): ooc - I guess we should split up, too, just to make it more interesting for Joel.
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): When I'm on the ground, I'll try to kick at the knees of whomever's still standing
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): Yes, I'm off to Oxford!
[Alexander St. James]: I believe just William was leaving, while me and Sebastian stayed with the cab
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Fortunately, James is smarter than Roland.  He clubs the man holding the gun with the but of his own weapon and he crumples
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Fortunately, James is smarter than Roland.  He clubs the man holding the gun with the but of his own weapon and he crumples
[Alexander St. James]: Or I could be wrong
[William Hollis]: yep, that's what i thought as well
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): And I'm going to pick a fight on the way
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Roll Roland for the  tackle
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Roll Roland for the  tackle
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): ooc hey, I'm not a combat kind of guy...

(Early Hutz whispered to Keeper): "Thanks Mickey.  We'll let you know when we have a story for you."
[Sebastian Dark]: yeah, I thought we were going in seperately
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "James, cover me!"
[Keeper]: Sorry
[Keeper]: Then one person exits the car to follow William
[Keeper]: The other two remain for you
William Hollis starts walking to the bank, trying to lose his tail in the crowd
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I'm going to try to get Gavigan on his back with James holding the pistol at him.
[Keeper]: william can roll
DICE for William Hollis: (1d100) :  1d100=70  = [ 70 ]
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): "Well, where too now, Early?  Were the others going to meet us here?"
(Keeper whispered to Alexander St. James): You've got him down.
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): You've got him down.
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I'm trying to make a grab for the gun of the guy who got KO'ed.
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): to rather
[Sebastian Dark]: "Maybe I can stall the other two and you can make for the bank."
(Keeper whispered to Alexander St. James): James says, "We've got to be quiet, there's a hoard of them upstairs"
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): James says, "We've got to be quiet, there's a hoard of them upstairs"
(Early Hutz whispered to Keeper): "Yes.  I guess we should stick around.  Is there a bar or a restaurant or a coffee shop nearby where we can wait?"
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): "How far are we from Soho?"
(Keeper whispered to Allen Speight): In England?  there's always a tavern nearby
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): In England?  there's always a tavern nearby
[Alexander St. James]: "Okay, let's have the cabbie drive around the block once or twice, then stop at the bank."
(Keeper whispered to Allen Speight): Quite some distance.  You're across the Thames in the west end
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): Quite some distance.  You're across the Thames in the west end
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): "Fish and Chips it is, then."
(Early Hutz whispered to Keeper): "This is my first visit to England.  I don't know where Soho is."
William Hollis tries to get a good look at the men in the model t as he walks past it
[Keeper]: It's the guys who were watching you in the tavern at the first hotel
[Keeper]: You're fairly certain of it
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): "Let's leave a message with the receptionist, telling our friends where we'll be, if they come in and ask for us."
William Hollis keeps walking to the bank
[William Hollis]: is there a newstand or anything nearby?
[Sebastian Dark]: "agreed
[Keeper]: Yes.  Not in front of the bank, but within view of it
(Early Hutz whispered to Keeper): "Good idea.  They shouldn't be long.  They were just stopping at a bank, after all." 
Alexander St. James tells the cabbie to start driving
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): "Exactly, they should be here in no time."
William Hollis heads for the newsstand and takes a look at what is available
[Keeper]: He starts moving and follows your directions to move around the block
[Alexander St. James]: Is the model T following?
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): "In the meantime, you can fill me in on everything that's happened, from the beginning."
[Keeper]: Various local sheets.  The new Scoop hit the stands
[Keeper]: Yes.  It waits for you to drive past and then falls into traffic behind you
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): So, you guys are holding Gavigan down
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): So, you guys are holding Gavigan down
William Hollis buys the new scoop and starts looking through it, occasionally looking up to see if the man following him is still around
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): What are you goign to do with him?
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): What are you goign to do with him?
[Sebastian Dark]: "Maybe we should just stop in front of the bank and run in"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Don't yell or you'll get it.  Now, what did you do with me things?"
[Keeper]: Top headline is "Scoop Reporter 24th Victim in Murder Spree!"
[Alexander St. James]: "I say we find a place where there's no room for them to park, and get out there."
[Sebastian Dark]: "good idea."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Chris, keep an eye on the goon to make sure he doesn't wake up."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "I put them in my collection.  It won't matter for you; you'll be dead by midnight."
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "I put them in my collection.  It won't matter for you; you'll be dead by midnight."
[Keeper]: You can park just a little ways past the bank
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "I don't think you're in a position to be make threats."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I'll search the goon's body. Just in case.
William Hollis reads the article about the latest murder, while still keeping an eye out for anyone watching him
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "You're tiny mind doesn't even begin to comprehend what's going on."
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "You're tiny mind doesn't even begin to comprehend what's going on."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "If you walk away now; hide your face you might live to see the turning of the year."
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "If you walk away now; hide your face you might live to see the turning of the year."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Ha.  That's funny.  You don't realize that I know far more than you imagine.  You and the Black Pharoah's boys aren't scaring me."
[Alexander St. James]: "Stop there.  If you would, wait a few minutes so no one can steal the parking spot."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): He's got a gun on him and an inverted ankh on a chain
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): He's got a gun on him and an inverted ankh on a chain
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Keeper: were they wearing robes?
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Yes
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Yes
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Where's this collection of your's?"
[Keeper]: William can see the person following him walk past him and then stop a distance down the street to turn and keep an eye on him
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Chris, get that guy's robe and move him to the cell."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): How much am I supposed to know about all the stuff that's happened to these investigators? Do I know them at all?
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I'm on it.
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Not much yet
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Not much yet
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): No one has had time to tell you
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): No one has had time to tell you
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): We'll feel out the waitstaff for rumors about the goings-on in town while we eat and talk.  Ask them about the Soho neighborhood, and if they know the spot our address indicates . . .
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Huh?
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): To you these are just freaky guys
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): To you these are just freaky guys
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I'm already moving the body and getting the robe
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I'm BSing the guy...
(Early Hutz whispered to Keeper): "OK.  Sounds like a plan."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Don't tell him that, though
Sebastian Dark gets ready to jump out of the cab
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Anyways... "Where's this collection of your's?"
[Keeper]: Okay, the taxi's stopped and the Model T is following it's method of passing it
Alexander St. James pays the driver and gets out
[Sebastian Dark]: gets out of the cab and heads towards the bank.
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "In my apartment"
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "In my apartment"
Sebastian Dark gets out of the cab and heads towards the bank.
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "And where is that?  I intend to get my notebook back."
William Hollis starts walking towards the man, but keeps his head down still reading the paper
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Gavigan rattles of an address
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Gavigan rattles of an address
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I commit it to memory.
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "29 Downing street"
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "29 Downing street"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I motion for james to cover Gavigan while I get up and get him up.
Alexander St. James walks briskly towards the bank.
(Keeper whispered to Allen Speight): One of them mentions how they used to hang out at a nightclub in Soho called the Blue Pyramid but after all the murders they don't like going there any more
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): One of them mentions how they used to hang out at a nightclub in Soho called the Blue Pyramid but after all the murders they don't like going there any more
[Keeper]: Alex and Sebastian get to the bank
(Early Hutz whispered to Keeper): "Was that an Egyptian theme, I'm guessing?"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I walk him to the cell and tell him to take off his robe.
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Do they have clothes on under the robes?
(Keeper whispered to Allen Speight): Yes, they serve Egyptian food, have belly dancers, ect.
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): Yes, they serve Egyptian food, have belly dancers, ect.
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): raises an eyebrow
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Yes, they are wearing shirts and pants under the robes
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Yes, they are wearing shirts and pants under the robes
Alexander St. James looks around before entering the bank.
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Gavigan hands you his robe
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Gavigan hands you his robe
(Early Hutz whispered to Keeper): "Is the place still in business?"
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): "Can you give us directions how to get to the place?  Sounds interesting . . ."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): With James covering Gavigan, I try to rip up the goon's shirt to make primitive gags and bindings.
[Keeper]: The Model T has stopped up the road, but no one got out
[Keeper]: William, you're passing the person who's watching you now
William Hollis walks past the man a ways and looks for where the bank is
Sebastian Dark looks for William
Alexander St. James enters the bank and waits
[Keeper]: It takes a few minutes, but you circle around and get back into the bank
[Keeper]: So, our bank goers are all there now
[Alexander St. James]: "Any trouble, William?"
(Keeper whispered to Allen Speight): You're given directions to it
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): You're given directions to it
[William Hollis]: "no trouble, but take a look at this article in the latest scoop"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Okay, you've got them bound and gagged in a cell
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Okay, you've got them bound and gagged in a cell
William Hollis shows the others the paper
Alexander St. James reads the article.
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): I'll copy those down on the paper with the other addresses "We'll have to check that one out, Early."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): If I can get the shirt ripped up I tie up and gag the goon and gavigan.
[Keeper]: One of the scoop reporters was found murdered in Soho
[Alexander St. James]: "Hmm.  Apparantly they found more than they bargained for."
(Early Hutz whispered to Keeper): "It at least lets us know that we're in the right area of London."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I give Gavigan a kick in the head.  "That was for my hotel."  I give him a kick in the balls, "That was for the other hotel."
[Keeper]: same as the other brutal killings, beaten and then impaled
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I take it you and this fellow have a history together?
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): "Yes, can't just be a coincidence."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): I think we know who the first target of the evil power is going to be... ;)
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): I think we know who the first target of the evil power is going to be... ;)
[Sebastian Dark]: "24th, how can they be sure they're all connected and not just some copycat?"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "You could say that"
[Alexander St. James]: "Well, it's a rather distinctive pattern."
[Alexander St. James]: "Anyway, let's see about getting a safety deposit box."
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): "I'm concerned -- they're taking too long."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I'll make sure he's knocked out and then lock them in.
[Sebastian Dark]: "Were they all in the same area?"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Chris, do you know how to handle a gun?"
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I grin. "Indeed. And fairly well at that."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Great. James and I will dress up in these robes and act like we're escorting you as a prisoner.  Hold onto the gun and we may be able to get out of here."
(Early Hutz whispered to Keeper): "Maybe they got lost.  I'm not sure what we could do, since we don't know what bank they were going to."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): FWIW, you now have three robes
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): FWIW, you now have three robes
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I put on the outfit and try to pull the hood of the robe low so my face isn't visible.
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): James was already wearing one
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): James was already wearing one
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Oh...  
Alexander St. James inquires with a teller about getting a deposit box.
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "In that case we can all wear robes."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "James, do you know the way out?"
[Keeper]: Alex doesn't have any trouble renting a large bank box.  It costs ten pounds a month and thirty pounds up front
[Keeper]: There's only one key for the box available
Alexander St. James takes the key
[Sebastian Dark]: "So, who wants to be the key master?"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "Yeah, it was the way those guys were heading."
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "Yeah, it was the way those guys were heading."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Well, lets get out of here!  We should act like we're supposed to be here and just walk confidently."
Sebastian Dark makes sure everything fits in the box.
[William Hollis]: how about we get another box to keep the key in?  :P 
[ Wolfhound left the game ]
[Keeper]: It's a tight fit, but everything goes in there
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): I'll give Wolfhound a minute to reconnect
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): k
[Sebastian Dark]: "Maybe we should keep the key in another bank box at another bank."
(Allen Speight whispered to Keeper): ooc lol
Keeper notices players attempting to torment him
Keeper wonders if there might be a bank robbery soon.
[William Hollis]: and then we can take that key to another bank
[Roland Windemeer]: In France!
Sebastian Dark and get 6 copies of that key and take it to 6 seperate banks all at the same time.
[Sebastian Dark]: in 6 different countries
[ WolfhoundK joined the game ]
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): James starts leading you down a hallway.
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): James starts leading you down a hallway.
[William Hollis]: then we can take the key from france and mail it back to Alexander
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): ooc Lousy machine.
[Alexander St. James]: It's almost too easy
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): At the end of it is a staircase
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): At the end of it is a staircase
[Sebastian Dark]: "Maybe Alex should swallow the key?"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "Be careful here, above us is a mansion.  Just try to blend in."
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "Be careful here, above us is a mansion.  Just try to blend in."
[William Hollis]: hmm...only if you would be willing to get it back
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): With guys in robes?"
[Early Hutz]: Quit yer yappin' and do something!
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "Yes."
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "Yes."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Okay."
Sebastian Dark debates that, and then shudders. "nevermind."
[Allen Speight]: : and Early drum their fingers impatiently
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I follow James up the staircase and try to blend in.
[Alexander St. James]: "Well, that's done.  Let's go meet the others at the Scoop."
[Sebastian Dark]: "Alright, off to the Scoop then?"
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I have the gun ready in the waist of my pants and the ankh over my neck as I go upstairs with James
[Alexander St. James]: "They're probably waiting for us."
[William Hollis]: "you think?"
Sebastian Dark wonders how Early is faring and if there's a mad cleaning lady somewhere in the city.
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): There's no visible door at the top of the steps, but James pushes on the wall there and it slowly opens to reveal a large hall or ballroom
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): There's no visible door at the top of the steps, but James pushes on the wall there and it slowly opens to reveal a large hall or ballroom
William Hollis exits the bank and looks around 
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Hmm. Fancy.
Sebastian Dark follows William
Alexander St. James pockets the key, walks outside, and looks for a cab
[Keeper]: The front of the bank is being watched
[Keeper]: The cab you just got out of is still there
Sebastian Dark looks at the wathcers and waves cheerfully.
Alexander St. James tries to look like he's carrying something large under his coat.
[Keeper]: The cabby is getting lunch from a nearby street vendor
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Is it occupied?
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): A group of people in similar robes are having a conversation in the middle of the room

William Hollis takes a look at his dice and see if the numbers 1-40 are on there
[Keeper]: The cab arrives at the scoop.  When you head into the office you are informed that Early and Allen went across the street to a tavern to await you slowpokes
Alexander St. James walks over to the tavern.
William Hollis waits at the scoop
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): As you cross the ballroom trying to avoid notice you do catch a few loose snatches.
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): As you cross the ballroom trying to avoid notice you do catch a few loose snatches.
[Sebastian Dark]: "should we make them wait longer?"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "I love the way they scream.  We should do that more often."
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "I love the way they scream.  We should do that more often."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "We can't tonight, though.  It's his night."
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "We can't tonight, though.  It's his night."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): one of them turns to you.

(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "Do you think the prisoners will keep until this evening?"  Then he laughs
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "Do you think the prisoners will keep until this evening?"  Then he laughs
Alexander St. James looks around for Early and Allen
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I laugh.
Allen Speight waves them over to the table
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I chuckle.
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Then I keep walking

[Allen Speight]: "You were?  Why didn't anyone follow us?"
[Early Hutz]: "Did they follow you here?"
[Alexander St. James]: "I'm not sure."
(Keeper whispered to Sebastian Dark): One of the people from the scoop has followed you and you don't like the way they're looking
[Keeper]: Roll William
[Allen Speight]: "Well, we have a few leads now."
DICE for William Hollis: (1d100) :  1d100=5  = [ 5 ]
[Alexander St. James]: "Did you learn anything useful?"
(Keeper whispered to William Hollis): No one in here is watching you
[Early Hutz]: "There's apparently some sort of Arabic district in Soho.  They followed Gavigan to a spice shop."
[Allen Speight]: "It now seems likely that Roland is being held somewhere in Soho."
Sebastian Dark walks up to the person from the Scoop. "Can I help you?"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): James leads you out of the mansion where you can see that you're on a moor
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): James leads you out of the mansion where you can see that you're on a moor
[Early Hutz]: "After the spice shop, they followed the owner to Gavigan's estate in the country."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): There's a lot of scrub and the ground is very marshy
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): There's a lot of scrub and the ground is very marshy
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): We're outside of the city?
[Early Hutz]: "The person who followed Gavigan was killed."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): You see a truck parked out front and there's other people milling about
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): You see a truck parked out front and there's other people milling about
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I'll look to see if there are any cars we can steal
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Some of them are walking around the side of the house
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Some of them are walking around the side of the house
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): An earthen driveway leads up to the door
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): An earthen driveway leads up to the door
[Early Hutz]: "Actually, they may be holding Roland at the country estate - we really don't know."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): The entire place has a very barren look to it
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): The entire place has a very barren look to it
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): HEY!
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): HEY!
[Allen Speight]: 
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): ?
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): You're passing info to Early!  Stop that
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): You're passing info to Early!  Stop that
[Allen Speight]: "True, true"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): ;)
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): ;)
[Early Hutz]: "There's also a bar in Soho called the Blue Pyramid that we may want to check out."
[Early Hutz]: "They've got belly dancers."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I was also wondering how he found out about that
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Never mind
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Never mind
[Allen Speight]: "Yes, we should start in Soho at any rate."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): ooc Thought I was in trouble there.
William Hollis waits for the others
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): I think he's gotten distracted. :)
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): I think he's gotten distracted. :)
[Alexander St. James]: "Very well.  Soho sounds like a good place to start."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Is there someone at the truck that seems to be the driver?"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): do'h... that wasn't spokem... for keeper
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): No, the trucks are empty as far as you can tell
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): No, the trucks are empty as far as you can tell
[Early Hutz]: "It's also a very dangerous place.  I take it that's where the murders have been centralized."
William Hollis walks back outside and takes a look around
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Are all of these people in robes like ours?
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Yes
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Yes
[Alexander St. James]: "Yes.  We'll have to watch our backs."
[Allen Speight]: "We should definitely go prepared for the worst."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Whispered to Chris and James: "We need to get that truck and get out of here."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): It's late afternoon now, the sun is low to the horizon
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): It's late afternoon now, the sun is low to the horizon
[Allen Speight]: "Shall we be off then?  We don't want to waste any more time."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): "Clearly. But how to get rid of those people next to it..."
[Early Hutz]: "What will we do when we get there?  Just go into the spice shop?"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "I'm not sure."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I try to listen in on the people standing near the truck.
[Alexander St. James]: "We'll have to take a look at the various buildings, see where they could be holding Roland."
[Allen Speight]: "I think we might want to start with the blue pyramid . . . do you think it only opens in the evening?"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "I'm going to be the one who ascends this evening, just watch!"
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "I'm going to be the one who ascends this evening, just watch!"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "No way.  I'll get there before you."
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "No way.  I'll get there before you."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Without going too far, I want to see where these people walking around are heading to. I'll be careful not to look obvious.
William Hollis keeps an eye on the tavern, and also looks to see if anyone else is watching it
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): The arguing continues in that manner for some time
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): The arguing continues in that manner for some time
Early Hutz asks the server when the BP opens.
Sebastian Dark keeps on eye on the Scoop reporter.
(Keeper whispered to William Hollis): No one else watching that you can see
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I try to inconspicously amble by the truck and see if the keys are iun the ignition
[Keeper]: They open at five and stay open until midnight
William Hollis goes back in and finds Sebastion 
[Keeper]: It's a thursday so it should be rather quiet there
Early Hutz looks at his watch.
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): There's a large seele carved with hieroglyphs behind the house
[William Hollis]: "Sebastian, you want to head over to the tavern?"
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): There's at least fourty cultists milling around it
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): That you can see
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): The keys are not in the ignition
[Alexander St. James]: "I think we should stick together in Soho."
[Sebastian Dark]: "Sure.  Did you see anyone out there?
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "James, do you recognize the driver among the people here?"
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I walk back around to Roland slowly. "You may want to take a look at that thing back there. It's awfully weird."
Keeper agrees with Alexander
[Allen Speight]: "Well, yes and no . . . if we trod around as a big group we're bound to draw more attention than we want . . ."
[William Hollis]: "i didn't see anyone"
[Alexander St. James]: "Well, they seem to know who we are, so I think we're going to draw their attention anyway."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "I can't tell with the robes.  I'd have to get a really good look at him."
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "I can't tell with the robes.  I'd have to get a really good look at him."
[Allen Speight]: "what time does your watch say, Early?"
Early Hutz looks at his watch again.
[Keeper]: 2pm
[Early Hutz]: "Two pm"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Yes guys, they're out of synch with you
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Yes guys, they're out of synch with you
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): You're also about three hour's drive from them
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): You're also about three hour's drive from them
[Allen Speight]: "Blast, I was hoping to grab a morning train out to Oxford to have this powder analyzed."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Can I see how far the house is from the nearest city?
[Sebastian Dark]: "Alright.  There's a scoop employee that seems a little to interested in us,but I think he's just harmless. Let's go."
[Alexander St. James]: "Well then, let's check out the area and maybe the spice shop before the club opens."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): You don't see any other buildings across the moor
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): You don't see any other buildings across the moor
[Early Hutz]: "It'll have to wait.  Let's catch a couple of cabs out to Soho."
[Allen Speight]: "Alright -- I have a somewhat risky plan . . ."
William Hollis heads over to the tavern and looks for the others
Early Hutz gives the others the addresses to the spice shop and the Blue Pyramid.
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Well, lets see if we can find any other mode of transportation.  Lets walk around the house."
Sebastian Dark joins the others.
[Early Hutz]: "What's the plan, Dr.?"
[Allen Speight]: "I may want to show the spice shop owner this sample of the powder, and see if he can identify it for me . . . but that may land us in trouble, depending on what it is."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Behind the house you see a huge stele.  It's at least a hundred feet tall and carved with egyptian hyroglyphs
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Behind the house you see a huge stele.  It's at least a hundred feet tall and carved with egyptian hyroglyphs
[Early Hutz]: "That is pretty risky."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Four rings are fastened at the corners of the base
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Four rings are fastened at the corners of the base
[Alexander St. James]: "If he's involved with the cult, are we sure we want him to recognize it?"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): About fourty cultists are milling about the area surrounding it
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): About fourty cultists are milling about the area surrounding it
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Steple?
[Early Hutz]: "It could cost us any element of surprise in rescuing Roland that we haven't already blown."
[Sebastian Dark]: "and if he is part of the cult wouldn't he most likely lie?"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Stele.  Like Cleopatra's Needle (hoping you get the refrence)
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Stele.  Like Cleopatra's Needle (hoping you get the refrence)
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): I can give you a picture if I can take a moment
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): I can give you a picture if I can take a moment
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): You mean like an obelisk, right?
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): ok: a usually carved or inscribed stone slab or pillar used for
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Exactly
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Exactly
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): commemorative purposes
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): m-w.com rocks
[Allen Speight]: "Well, if they already know who we are, simply stepping in the shop will give us away to the same degree . . . unless there is one of us unknown to them . . ."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I will try to read the inscriptions
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I wish I knew what in god's name something like that is doing out here.
[Sebastian Dark]: "I think they've seen all of us."
[Allen Speight]: "Yes, I think you're right."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "Praise to the Black Pharoah, who's night shall come in the day and darkness overtake the world."
[Allen Speight]: "Gavigan has, at any rate."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "I'll tell you in a moment.  I'm an Egyptologist."
[Allen Speight]: 
[Allen Speight]: "But let's get some cabs, we can discuss this on the way."
[Alexander St. James]: "Well, let's look for some cabs and rendezvous about a block from the spice shop."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "I knew it.  The Black Pharoah again."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Beg your pardon?
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Quietly: "These guys worship an ancient Egyptian sorceror called the Black Pharoah."
Sebastian Dark goes otuide and halis down some cabs.
[Keeper]: Okay, with the assistance of a couple cabs, everyone is now in the arts district in Soho standing a few doors down from Tewfik al-Sayed's Spice Shop
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Was that phrase the only thing on the stele?
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): "I see. I guess that's what these are for."  I indicate the ankh on my neck.
[Alexander St. James]: How big is the shop?
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Right."
[Allen Speight]: "We shouldn't all go in together."
[Keeper]: Everyone roll
DICE for Allen Speight: (1d100) :  1d100=79  = [ 79 ]

[Alexander St. James]: ooc I think we're all dead
[Roland Windemeer]: Jeez...
[Keeper]: How do you get two critical failures?
[Allen Speight]: yeesh, we're high rollers today
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): ooc That looks Reeeeeal bad.
[Sebastian Dark]: D'OH!
[Early Hutz]: That's sad.  My 62 is the second lowest!
[William Hollis]: i think my dice are rigged
[Allen Speight]: has someone been mucking about with the Java again?
[Keeper]: Okay, someone leaves the spice shop, turns to lock the door and then vanishes into the crowd
[Roland Windemeer]: Put in too much artificial creamer and the Java starts getting ugly.
[Sebastian Dark]: maybe we should try rolling 2 10's instead of 1 100
(Keeper whispered to Alexander St. James): You saw which way he went.
(Keeper whispered to William Hollis): You saw which way he went.
[Alexander St. James]: How much of a crowd is there?
[Keeper]: Quite a bit of one
[Keeper]: Streets are packed solid
[Sebastian Dark]: "Maybe we should see if there's a back way in?"
[Allen Speight]: "Are any of you talented at skulduggery?"
[William Hollis]: "i think he went that way"
[Alexander St. James]: "I think I can spot him.  Do we want to follow him or just check out the shop?"
William Hollis points
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): That was the only phrase on the stele that you could read
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): That was the only phrase on the stele that you could read
Alexander St. James points the other way
[Early Hutz]: What does the man look like?
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): If that phrase is all that's on the stele, I will complete my circuit around the building.
Sebastian Dark points a third way
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): "What were they going to do, sacrifice us?" as I keep step with Roland
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): On the east side of the house, there's a steep cliff and you can see the ocean rolling in below it smashing on the rocks
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): On the east side of the house, there's a steep cliff and you can see the ocean rolling in below it smashing on the rocks
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "That's what it looks like."
Allen Speight walks up near the front door of the shop, trying to look in a window
Sebastian Dark looks around for a back way in.
[William Hollis]: "hmm....okay so maybe he didn't go that way, but i was pretty sure he did"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): It becomes obvious that the estate is on some kind of small island at the edge of the moors.  Probably the only sturdy land handy
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): It becomes obvious that the estate is on some kind of small island at the edge of the moors.  Probably the only sturdy land handy
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Ok.  we have to find the keys to that truck.  I think that means we'll have to go back inside."
William Hollis shrugs and walks up to the shop door and looks in
[Keeper]: As you approach the front of the shop you see a small sign in the window stating that they are closed
[Alexander St. James]: "I'm almost positive that's him over there."
[Keeper]: The shop is dark
Allen Speight mutters to himself, "Now where could I find some ginseng at this time of day?"
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): "I don't like the sound of that."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Island or peninsula?
[Alexander St. James]: "Let's check around the back."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): An island
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): An island
William Hollis nods
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): The house is built on the tallest point, the stele on another high spot
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): The house is built on the tallest point, the stele on another high spot
William Hollis walks around to the back of the building looking for another way in
Allen Speight follows the others around back
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): The at the edges it slopes down 
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): The at the edges it slopes down 
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): The cliff itself is about fourty feet up
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): The cliff itself is about fourty feet up
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "James, did you have to take a boat to get here?"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): So that should give you some idea of the elevation difference
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): So that should give you some idea of the elevation difference
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "No, I was in a truck the whole time."
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "No, I was in a truck the whole time."
[Keeper]: There is a back door and two high windows behind the shop
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): "Well, then we're close enough to mainland for a bridge. THat's good to know."
[Allen Speight]: Is the street quiet behind the shop?
[Alexander St. James]: How high up are the windows?
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Well, I suppose we need to go inside.  Let's do it.  But make sure that we stay together and inconspicous."
Sebastian Dark tries the back door.
[Keeper]: The back door is locked.  The windows are about fifteen feet off the ground, and there is no one in the alley
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): :makes sure the gun in his pants comes out fast and smooth if he needs it.
Early Hutz listens at the door.
[Alexander St. James]: "Anyone any good with locks?"
[Allen Speight]: "What now?"
[Allen Speight]: 
[Keeper]: Early, roll
[Allen Speight]: Wooden door?
DICE for Early Hutz: (1d100) :  1d100=83  = [ 83 ]
Sebastian Dark looks around for anything that can be stacked to climb on
[Early Hutz]: I got a splinter in my ear.
(Keeper whispered to Early Hutz): You can't hear anything through the metal back door
[Early Hutz]: And it's a metal door!
[Early Hutz]: "I didn't hear anything."
[Keeper]: There's a few garbage cans, but they won't be sturdy to climb on
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I head towards the entrance of the house and go back in.  Once inside I try to find a key rack or a desk that might have the key in it.
[Early Hutz]: "William, got your lockpicks?"
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Are there still a bunch of people near the truck?
William Hollis looks around "who, me?"
William Hollis digs around in his pockets
[Early Hutz]: "Or are the broken off in various doors on our way here?"
[Keeper]: You would have to be carrying them with you
William Hollis takes out one of his lockpicks
[Keeper]: Since you ahven't changed since your last break in
[Sebastian Dark]: how noisy is it here?
William Hollis examines the lock on the door
[Allen Speight]: "I'm going to go back around front -- if the shopkeeper returns I'll stall them and make a lot of noise."
William Hollis examines his lockpick
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): You enter into the great hall of the estate again
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): You enter into the great hall of the estate again
[Early Hutz]: "You know.  You're still an accessory."
Alexander St. James keeps a watch on the alley.
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): You do notice someone wearing regular clothes climbing a set of stairs in the opposite corner of the room
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): You do notice someone wearing regular clothes climbing a set of stairs in the opposite corner of the room
[William Hollis]: "okay keep a look out while i try this"
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): " I wonder what he's up to."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): There's a door to your left from which you can smell something cooking
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): There's a door to your left from which you can smell something cooking
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Let's follow that guy.  maybe he's the dirver."
Early Hutz keeps a look out.
[Keeper]: William, roll
DICE for William Hollis: (1d100) :  1d100=58  = [ 58 ]
Allen Speight returns to the front street, and pretends to window shop within a few yards of the spice shop
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Wow, that smells good...I haven't eaten in days.
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): 
[Keeper]: James apologizes for not stealing some food for you
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "If you need food you can go in there but I'm following that guy."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): "I'll just check. I'm starving."
[Sebastian Dark]: "Maybe we can blast the lock."
[Keeper]: After a bit of struggle, William gets the door to unlatch
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I go over to the door and open it slowly.
[Sebastian Dark]: "or not."
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): You push open the door and see some people wearing robes setting up a buffet
[Allen Speight]: ooc 58, that's some kind of record for us
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I start heading after the plainclothes guy.
[William Hollis]: ooc for me at least
[Alexander St. James]: "Okay, carefully now.  There may still be someone here."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): What kind of food? Can I see it well?
Allen Speight scans the crowd slyly, looking for the shopkeeper's return
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): At the top of the stairs you see him disappear into a room.  However to your right is a shelf with many small compartments.  In each one is either a robe like yours or what appears to be a set of regular clothing
[Early Hutz]: "Someone listen at the door.  My ears don't appear to be working properly."
Sebastian Dark enters, drawing his pistol.
William Hollis puts the lockpick back in his pocket, steps to the side of the door and pushes it open"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Is there anyone else around?
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Small sandwiches, potato salad, that kind of cheap food used when you've got to feed a ton of people who aren't worth the effort
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Not at the moment
Alexander St. James looks inside
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "James, try to block people's view of me while I search these clothes."  Then I try to search the clothes for the keys or other useful items.
[Keeper]: The door opens into a storeroom that stinks of pepper and other spices
Sebastian Dark enters, drawing his pistol.
[Keeper]: There are crates everywhere and a door in the far wall
Alexander St. James enters
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Roll for that
DICE for Roland Windemeer: (1d100) :  1d100=88  = [ 88 ]
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): It looks so tempting. But I'll pass for the moment. Too many hooded guys. I leave the room and head in the direction Roland took off.
[Alexander St. James]: Are the crates labeled?
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Okay
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Chris has come up the stairs where he sees Roland going through people's belongings
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Chris has come up the stairs where he sees Roland going through people's belongings
William Hollis goes over to the door in the far wall and puts his ear to it
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Suddenly a door in the hallway opens
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Suddenly a door in the hallway opens
[Keeper]: Roll William
DICE for William Hollis: (1d100) :  1d100=77  = [ 77 ]
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I grab a set of clothes and act like they are my own.
[Keeper]: Yes, the crates are labelled things like "Ginger"  "Garlic"  "Thyme"
[Keeper]: They're also all labelled with point of origin.  Many are from India
[Sebastian Dark]: "I guess they're not running out of Thyme."
William Hollis coughs
Alexander St. James groans
[Early Hutz]: Do any say "Mysterious Blue Power" from Egypt?
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): The man you followed up walks out of a room wearing a robe, puts his normal clothes in a slot and then goes downstairs
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): The man you followed up walks out of a room wearing a robe, puts his normal clothes in a slot and then goes downstairs
[Keeper]: Nothing like that
William Hollis tries the door
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): "Find anything interesting?"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): If the hallway's empty again I will replace the clothes I was holding and check out his clothes.
Sebastian Dark closes the back door.
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Not yet...
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "
[Early Hutz]: "If there's anything going on here, my guess is it would be upstairs."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Not Yet."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Roll again, Roland
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Roll again, Roland
[Alexander St. James]: "Unless there's a basement."

[Early Hutz]: "Yes.  But probably not on this floor."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): oops, hit the wrong button the first time
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Well
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Well
[William Hollis]: ooc Roland, want to trade dice?
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Roland locates a thick ring with many keys on it
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Roland locates a thick ring with many keys on it
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): "Looks promising."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I snag it and move on.
[Keeper]: William pushes open the door and sees the contents of the spice shop
[Keeper]: There is a window out front through which you can see the street.
[Keeper]: From this angle you can see a set of stairs that go up
William Hollis takes a look around the room
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Lets see if this will get the truck started."
[Keeper]: Inside the shop there are racks and racks of spices of all varieties.
Sebastian Dark looks up the set of stairs.
[Alexander St. James]: "Let's try the stairs."
[Keeper]: You don't see anything up the stairs from your perspective
[William Hollis]: "okay, you go first"
[Keeper]: The regester is also here and a small safe
Alexander St. James advances cautiously up the stairs.
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I poke into the kitchen again on the way out...still lots of guys there?
Sebastian Dark checks the register.
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Four or five of them still hard at work to get the buffet ready
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Four or five of them still hard at work to get the buffet ready
[Alexander St. James]: "Hey, we're not thieves here."
William Hollis follows Alexander
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Not a good time to risk it. I head out front.
[Keeper]: When you ring up No Sale you find there is no till in the regester
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Now that we have the keys we can get out of here.  I promise I'll buy you a nice dinner when we get back into town.  Or at least what passes for one here."
Sebastian Dark closes the register and follows everyone up the stairs.
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): The sun is starting to set, but there's lots of people talking about their day
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): The sun is starting to set, but there's lots of people talking about their day
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): "Thanks. And I'll hold you to that. We just need to figure out how to make a break for it without getting killed."
[Keeper]: Upstairs the heat is sweltering
[Sebastian Dark]: have we seen any other doors on the first floor?
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Hopefully most of the cultists are unarmed."
[Keeper]: Just the front door
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): How many are near the truck?
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "See if you two can think up a diversion while I try the keys."
[Keeper]: It's a small apartment decorated in an egyptian style
[Keeper]: A large oil burning stove is running in one corner of the room
[Keeper]: There's cushions to sit on and a low table with a book open in the middle of the room
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "You two should go up to the people out here and say, 'They are starting the preparations for the ceremony.""
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Maybe they'll take off long enough for us to get the truck running and get out of here.
[Keeper]: The only western style furnature is a roll top desk
William Hollis takes a look at the book
Sebastian Dark looks at the book.
Alexander St. James opens the desk
[Keeper]: There is a small hallway with three doors visible from here
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): How far is the big obelisk thingy from the truck, and can we see the obelisk from the truck?
[Allen Speight]: ooc afk one sec
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): There's five guys relaxing in their black cult robes just chatting
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): There's five guys relaxing in their black cult robes just chatting
Early Hutz heads toward the doors and listens at the first one he reaches.
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): You can't see it from the truck because it's behind the house
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): You can't see it from the truck because it's behind the house
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Ah, right.
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): It is tall enough that you would be able to see it over the house if you weren't right next to it, though
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): It is tall enough that you would be able to see it over the house if you weren't right next to it, though
[Keeper]: The book is a copy of the Qur'an

[Keeper]: It's in the original arabic
[Keeper]: The desk is locked shut
[Keeper]: Early, roll
DICE for Early Hutz: (1d100) :  1d100=55  = [ 55 ]

Alexander St. James walks over and listens at one of the other doors.
Early Hutz tries the doorknob.
Sebastian Dark goes and listens at one of the doors Early isn't at.
[Keeper]: It's an easy lock, you could pick it with your fingernail.  The desk opens up
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I start moving towards the truck.  once people start leaving, I'll get in and start trying keys.
[Keeper]: Roll Sebastian

(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "Some food does sound good right now.  I haven't eaten since breakfast."  The group walks off into the house
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "Some food does sound good right now.  I haven't eaten since breakfast."  The group walks off into the house

[Keeper]: William, roll
DICE for William Hollis: (1d100) :  1d100=62  = [ 62 ]
[Keeper]: Sebastian, inside your door is a small kitchen 
Sebastian Dark looks around the kitchen.
[Keeper]: The contents of the desk is mainly invoices, bills, and the like for the spice shop
[Keeper]: But when you pull open the middle drawer you hear a click
[Keeper]: Early, when you open that door you find a bathroom
Alexander St. James tries the third door
[Keeper]: There's an icebox and a small gas stove in the kitchen to go with the usual utensals and cabinets
William Hollis tries to locate where exactly the click came from and what it meant
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Whew.  I can't believe we got out of there without being killed.  Now lets just hope they don't sick any giant snakes or great balls of fire on us."
Sebastian Dark checks the icebox and the cabinets.
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Heh
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Heh
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Wait a second before you gloat
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Wait a second before you gloat
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I look oddly at Roland. "I hope you're kidding."
[Keeper]: The icebox contains a few cuts of fresh lamb and some vegitables
[Alexander St. James]: "Why does he have two stoves?"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "I hope so too."
[Keeper]: Behind the door Alex tries is a bedroom
[Keeper]: William, you find a panel has openned up
William Hollis looks inside the panel
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Roland, you start taking off down the dirt driveway in the truck and come to a halt barely a hundred yards from the house
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Roland, you start taking off down the dirt driveway in the truck and come to a halt barely a hundred yards from the house
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): you can see the planks that form some kind of bridge on both banks, but the bridge itself seems to be sunken
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): you can see the planks that form some kind of bridge on both banks, but the bridge itself seems to be sunken
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): "Damnit!"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Oh shit."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Any chance of jumping it with the truck?
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): It doesn't go up, it goes down
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): It doesn't go up, it goes down
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): There's no launch for a jump
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): There's no launch for a jump
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): How much water is there?
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Er, how wide is the gap?
Alexander St. James looks around the bedroom
[Keeper]: William, inside the panel are two more sandstone vials, another inverted ankh on a chain and, a scroll
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): The gap is about twenty-five feet
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): The gap is about twenty-five feet
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Also, is there anything in the truck?
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): The water does not seem to be flowing quickly
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): The water does not seem to be flowing quickly
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Can I tell how deep it is?
William Hollis takes the scroll and looks what is on it
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): You can see the first few planks of a bridge on the shore, but it vanishes into the murkiness below the water
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): You can see the first few planks of a bridge on the shore, but it vanishes into the murkiness below the water
[Keeper]: It's old and crumbling.  It's also written in hieroglyphs
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): "Check those glyphs. I'll check the back of the truck.
[Keeper]: The bedroom is really modest.  It contains a mirror, a small single bed, and a set of drawers
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Looks like we'll need to swim.  And now, since everyone will have heard the car start."
Alexander St. James checks the drawers.
Sebastian Dark looks through the cabinets.
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): "hmm. Good point."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): what was written in heiroglyphs?
[Keeper]: Lots of clothing in them
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): A scroll the other group found
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): A scroll the other group found
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): ok
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Whoops.
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): If there's nothing in the truck I will pull the keys and get out.  Then I'll take off my robe and swim for it.
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I check behind us to see if there's a throng of angry cultists chasing us.
William Hollis carefully gathers up the items
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): No swarms of cultists yet
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): No swarms of cultists yet
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): ooc I was tempted to do a little Carmageddon but I don't think it would work so well.
[Keeper]: Inside the cabinets are, shockingly enough, spices
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): And in the truck, what is there?
[Keeper]: This guy must really like to cook
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): The back of the truck is empty

Sebastian Dark decides to be on the safe side and checks the stove.
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Let's move.
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Wait
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Wait
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Roland, as you get out of the truck you notice two massive hooks set into cement on either side of the road about ten feet back from the truck
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Roland, as you get out of the truck you notice two massive hooks set into cement on either side of the road about ten feet back from the truck
[Keeper]: The stove has not been cleaned in some time, but there's nothing in it right now
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): We don't have any rope or anything.  I still say swim.
[Early Hutz]: "Roland's not here.  Let's get out of here before the guy comes back."
[Alexander St. James]: "Agreed."
William Hollis finds the others and shows them the items
[Sebastian Dark]: "We should check the first floor for any signs of a basement."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I throw off my robe and throw my shoes to the other bank in preparation to swim.
[Keeper]: I bet Allen would like more vials to play with. :)
Alexander St. James heads back downstairs.
[Early Hutz]: "OK.  But let's be quick.  It won't be as easy to talk our way out of jail this time."
William Hollis checks the desk one last time, closes it and heads back downstairs
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Okay, both of you roll again
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Okay, both of you roll again
Sebastian Dark goes downstairs and starts looking for any sign of a basement.

Alexander St. James searches the storeroom for a trap door.

[Keeper]: We did in the dream game
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): ooc This isn't good.
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Why couldn't my 11 count for my swimming...  I wasn't even looking for any hooks
[Alexander St. James]: But at least there we had a couple nice critical successes to balance them out.
(Keeper whispered to Sebastian Dark): As far as you can tell there is no basement
[Early Hutz]: It was fun to have critical failures in the dream game.
[William Hollis]: thats true
[Sebastian Dark]: "No sign of a basement."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Chris dives in then realizes how weak being locked up for a weak and a half has left him

(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): He starts sinking
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): He starts sinking

(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Okay, you lost an HP as you choke

(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): He's recovered and you do manage to get across, but extremely cold (it is winter after all)
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): wet, and exhausted
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): wet, and exhausted
[Allen Speight]: ooc all this dice rolling is a bit intimidating . . .
[Keeper]: You don't want to know that they've been doing
[Early Hutz]: they're getting tired of waiting for us ;-)
[Alexander St. James]: ooc They're probably just playing cards with the cultists.
[Allen Speight]: ooc maybe playing dice
[Keeper]: Triathalon, actually
[Sebastian Dark]: "Where to now?"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): We are going to try to make a break for it.
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Okay, the dirt road continues as far as you can see and the moors off it lack much in the way of cover
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Okay, the dirt road continues as far as you can see and the moors off it lack much in the way of cover
[Alexander St. James]: ooc charades!   Four syllables...  sounds like Shub-Niggorath...
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Any particular direction you're going to try or just stick to the road?
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Any particular direction you're going to try or just stick to the road?
[Early Hutz]: Assuming we're back with the doctor, "My guess is that Roland is at the country estate.  That would be an easy place to hold him."
Sebastian Dark imagines how wonderful it would be to have a phone, no, a portable phone, that could send messages without have to use wires.
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I get my shoes back on and start moving as fast as possible down the road.
[Alexander St. James]: "True, but let's at least check the club first."
[Allen Speight]: "Did you find any more chemicals of any kind?"
[Sebastian Dark]: "@ more vials."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I plan on following the road unless James has a better suggestion because he's seen the way before.
Allen Speight giggles like a schoolgirl, "Delightful, let me see them."
William Hollis gives the vials to Allen
[Early Hutz]: "Let'
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): "I was cowering in the back of a truck.  I didn't see anything."
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): "I was cowering in the back of a truck.  I didn't see anything."
[Early Hutz]: "Let's not open them here in the street, though."
Allen Speight puts the vials in his bag with the sample
Keeper starts laughing diabolically
[Allen Speight]: "Let's see if the BP is about to open."
Keeper is going to have so *much* fun.
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Let's just keep moving. I check over my shoulder frequently for those cultists
[Alexander St. James]: uh oh
[Sebastian Dark]: "British Petroleum?"
[Early Hutz]: "Did anyone else hear that Diabolical laughter?"
[Keeper]: It's barely 3pm now for you guys
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I will keep moving but keep an eye and ear out for any followers.
[Sebastian Dark]: "Guys, I have a bad feeling about this."
[Allen Speight]: "I thought I did . . . but no, now it's gone . . "
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): However, the sun is going down
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): However, the sun is going down
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): It's just dipped below the horizon and it's a moonless night with no lights on the moors
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): It's just dipped below the horizon and it's a moonless night with no lights on the moors
[Sebastian Dark]: "It's almost like someones dancing a jig on my grave."
William Hollis looks around the street to see if there is anyone watching them
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): You do have that "advantage"
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): You do have that "advantage"
[Early Hutz]: "How will we get out to the country estate, assuming we have to?"
Sebastian Dark looks for that damnable Scoop reporter.
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): My fabulous good looks?
[Allen Speight]: "Well let's find a place near the BP for a late lunch."
[Allen Speight]: "By train, I should think."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Maybe. But probably not.
[Alexander St. James]: "Well, why don't we take a look at the club now.  It might be easier to get in while it's still closed."
[Keeper]: Roll William and Sebastian

(Keeper whispered to William Hollis): Can't see anyone waiting for you
(Keeper whispered to Sebastian Dark): Can't see anyone waiting for you
[Sebastian Dark]: ooc  need new java dice.
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "I wonder if they trash the bridge for every ceremony they do.  And how they plan on getting off the island now that they're trashed it."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Since we're here and things are a little calmer now, mind explaining some of this to me? Who ARE these guys, and why did they kidnap me..us...whatever?
[Sebastian Dark]: "We may be able to get in if no one's there."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Well, I'm still not really sure what their ultimate goal is.  I suppose the BP needs human sacrifices for his power."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "How were you abducteD?"
[Allen Speight]: "We don't have any reason to poke around in the BP, and risk getting caught . . . it's only that we may spot the hooligans there, or learn some more information from someone inside."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): So their a sacrificial cult. Ok. How do you and this James fellow know eachother?
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): And why do you and Gavigan seem to have it in for eachother?
[Early Hutz]: "I agree with the Doctor.  I think we need to get out to the country estate and try to free Roland."
[Alexander St. James]: "Well, let's at least take a look at the place."
[Allen Speight]: "We don't have any reports of anything fishy going on in there, only that it is Eqyptian-themed."
(Keeper whispered to William Hollis): Both of you roll
(Keeper whispered to Sebastian Dark): Both of you roll
[Early Hutz]: "We got the information from a bartender."

[Keeper]: There will be no critical successes on my watch!
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): ooc hahaha
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): ooc Very nice.
[Early Hutz]: but plenty of critical failures.
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): You smell something like decay and hear a sound of flapping wings
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Something bad is coming!"  Roland looks for cover and runs!
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Ah yes. The Carlyle expedition. I'd heard about that. Poor chaps.
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): A dark shape is blotting out the stars overhead
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): What?
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I look around, then sprint in Roland's direction.
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): There's only light scrub on the moor.  Not to much to hind behind
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): There's only light scrub on the moor.  Not to much to hind behind
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I just run down the road, then.
[Keeper]: So, what are you eople doing?
[William Hollis]: afk brb
[Early Hutz]: I'm trying to convince everyone to go to the country estate!
[Allen Speight]: "I would like to stop by the BP tonight, and see if we can learn anything more -- then head out to the estate in the morning."
[Alexander St. James]: "I still suggest we take a look at the club before heading off into the country."
[Early Hutz]: "We don't know how much time Roland has left, if he's not already dead.  I'd prefer not to wait."
[Allen Speight]: "It seems hasty to me to assume that roland is at the estate . . . I'm not convinced that it's Gavigan who has him . . ."
[Early Hutz]: "Who else would have him?"
DICE for Keeper: (1d100) :  1d100=93  = [ 93 ]
[Sebastian Dark]: "chances are by the time we got to the estate it would be night and I'd rather not be running around out there in the dark."
[Roland Windemeer]: ooc haha
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Something passes close to Chris's head in the dark
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Something passes close to Chris's head in the dark
[Early Hutz]: ooc - don't taunt the Keeper!
[Allen Speight]: "3 Egyptians *shrug* who may or may not be connected to Gavigan . . ."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): "Whoah. What the hell was that?"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Shoot it whatever it is!"
[Keeper]: I was only sending one Eddie, but now there are five of them!
[Early Hutz]: "I'm certain Gavigan is mixed up in this."
[Keeper]: Haha indeed
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): Unarmed, Roland continues to run.
[William Hollis]: back
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I whip out my gun and try to get sight of..whatever it is, while keeping my head low.
[Allen Speight]: "Yes, it is rather late in the day as well . . . An unknown area at night doesn't sound good to me, without knowing what to expect.  We may still learn more in town."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): James says, "I can't see this thing to get a shot and I don't want to hit any of you
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): James says, "I can't see this thing to get a shot and I don't want to hit any of you
[Early Hutz]: "I'm going.  Anyone coming with me?"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): I do have to say I'm enjoying them leaving you guys to your fate
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): I do have to say I'm enjoying them leaving you guys to your fate
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Just shoot into the air!  Whatever it is its flying."
[Alexander St. James]: "My point is, the club is nearby.  We can check it out without wasting the whole day if we're wrong."
[Allen Speight]: ooc sounds like a great opportunity to split up into several groups ;P
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I pull off two rounds, trying to scatter them, and still looking around quickly.
[Roland Windemeer]: brb pee break
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Chris, roll to be able to see if you can spot it
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Chris, roll to be able to see if you can spot it
[Early Hutz]: "We can check it out, but it won't be open for a few hours.  Roland me be being tortured."
DICE for Chris Hyle: (1d100) :  1d100=41  = [ 41 ]
[Early Hutz]: Although he apparently gets bathroom breaks. ;-)
[Allen Speight]: "Yes, and Roland may be being tortured here in town . . . we don't know yet."
[Keeper]: You guys have to read this log when the session is over.  It's hysterical
[Early Hutz]: "The only information we have is the estate, which is owned by the kidnapper."
[Keeper]: At least from my perspective
[Roland Windemeer]: back
[Alexander St. James]: "But we don't know for sure that he's the kidnapper, and the club is nearby.  At the very least, let's go there now and take a look, then head out to the estate."
[Early Hutz]: "We can stop by the BP, but that's just a bar in the area.  What are we hoping to find?"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Okay, you fire off two rounds into the air.
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Okay, you fire off two rounds into the air.
DICE for Keeper: (1d100) :  1d100=11  = [ 11 ]
[Allen Speight]: "Again, we don't know that.  It's all guesswork at this point, and I'd rather follow up on a nearby possibility than throw all our weight behind one possibility."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): You got lucky so you can roll to see if you might hit one

[Allen Speight]: "one far away that is."
[Alexander St. James]: "Cultists, perhaps.  We certainly seem to have made our share of enemies."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Huff huff.  I thought you said you knew how to use that thing?"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): That's bad
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): That's bad
William Hollis looks around for a cab
[Early Hutz]: "We can drive by, but I don't think we can waste time waiting for it to open and then watching belly dancers."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): The shot goes off but the gun jams
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): The shot goes off but the gun jams
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): It helps to be able to see what I'm shooting at! Keep down!
Roland Windemeer looks around for a cab.
[Early Hutz]: "We know that Gavigan is involved with the cultists, though."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): "Shit!"
[Alexander St. James]: "I never said we should wait for it to open, just that we should take a look."
[Allen Speight]: "Break in then?"
[Keeper]: William can find a cab, but not Roland
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I'll fiddle with the gun and try to avoid ruining it.
[Allen Speight]: "I wouldn't advise that."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Not while running

DICE for Keeper: (1d100) :  1d100=43  = [ 43 ]

[Allen Speight]: "If we're not going to wait for it to open, then we may as well head for the estate."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Something swooshes past you guys again
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Something swooshes past you guys again
William Hollis gets in the cab
[Early Hutz]: "
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): ooc I really need to get some skill points to put into my running skill.  I sure am getting a lot of practice.
Alexander St. James gets in the taxi
[William Hollis]: "are you guys coming along? we are just wasting time here"
Allen Speight follows
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I fall flat on the ground and roll onto my back, looking up as I try to get up.
[Early Hutz]: "Where are we going?"
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): "What the hell IS that thing?"
[Allen Speight]: "Well we don't know where we're going yet."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): There's a plopping sound followed by some buzzing in front of rolland
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): There's a plopping sound followed by some buzzing in front of rolland
[William Hollis]: "lets drive by the BP first and then we can decide"
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): You can't make out what's there.  It's like a huge buzzard, but more oddly shaped
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): You can't make out what's there.  It's like a huge buzzard, but more oddly shaped
[Alexander St. James]: "We'll swing by the club and scout it out, then head to a train station."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I try to dodge around whatever it is
[Allen Speight]: "Driver!  Take us to the Blue Pyramid!"
[Early Hutz]: "All right."
Sebastian Dark gets in the cab
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): HOW huge?
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): About man sized
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): About man sized
Early Hutz looks for another cab to follow them.
[Keeper]: Early gets his own taxi and gets to follow along
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I'll keep messing with the gun.

[Allen Speight]: Is it a big building, or a small dive?
[Keeper]: It looks like a regular building, but over the door there is a canopy in the style of it's name sake
[Keeper]: Small
William Hollis gets out of the cab, tells the cabby to wait, goes up to the doors of the BP and looks in

[William Hollis]: how many floors does the club have?
[Keeper]: The back smells of rotten food thrown out the night before
[Keeper]: There is a back door
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): It's that bad, is it? Well then. I huck the gun in the direction of the voice and just keep going.

Alexander St. James walks around to the back as well
[Allen Speight]: "Alright, I'm starting to agree with Early.  This place is a longer shot than the estate -- let's get to the train station."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): You hear a noise kind of like "splut!" in the darkness and then a thump as something hits the ground

(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I thought they were dropping stuff on us....forget it. You know better than I do.
[Allen Speight]: "When does the next train leave for the town nearest the estate?"

(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): 
[Early Hutz]: "If we're trying to free them, I think we would want the cover of darkness."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Roland is snagged by one of the beasts.  it feels soft and pliant, but it's holding him fast

[Early Hutz]: Those are d4's, though
[Alexander St. James]: True, but they're mainly with d4s
[William Hollis]: lol
[Allen Speight]: hehe
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): One solid punch puts Chris's fist through the "head" of the creature
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): One solid punch puts Chris's fist through the "head" of the creature
[Sebastian Dark]: well, he's usig a 1d4

[Alexander St. James]: Maybe we should start rolling them instead of d100
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "By Ra what is this thing?!"
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I try to pull it out and attack the parts of the creature that cling to Roland
Allen Speight makes a mental note of that idea
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): It drops rolland and flies off
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): It drops rolland and flies off
[Alexander St. James]: Keep it quiet.  We can't let Joel catch on.
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Now to save James...
[Keeper]: The train you're waiting for is rolling into the station
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): I try to run again.
[Allen Speight]: I hope there's a dining car

(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): 'Damnit..."
Alexander St. James decides to follow Early's example and catch some Z's.
[Early Hutz]: Keeper, could you take my character for the rest of the afternoon?
(Keeper whispered to Sebastian Dark): You don't recognize anyone on the train
[Keeper]: Alrighty
[Allen Speight]: Did Early miss the train then?
[Early Hutz]: No - I've got to run in real life
[Keeper]: After two dozen stops, the train is pulling into Ipswitch at about 5pm
[Keeper]: The sun is getting low in the sky
[Early Hutz]: Later!

Sebastian Dark exits the train.
Alexander St. James disembarks
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Well, it worked last time. I'll try to punch it.
William Hollis gets off the train
[Keeper]: Ipswitch is a tiny village that appears to get most of it's industry from fishing
Allen Speight gets off as well, looks for some sort of transportation, or someone on the platform who can tell us where to find it
[Keeper]: You can smell the ocean from here as well as lots of rotting fish
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): roll for that
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): roll for that

(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): The beast turns and you slug James in the stomach
[Allen Speight]: "I say we try to find an inn, and put money down for rooms, even if we are going to head out to the estate tonight."
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): James isn't quiet as pliant as these things
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): James isn't quiet as pliant as these things
[Alexander St. James]: "Good idea.  If we find Roland, we may need a place to hide for the night."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): "I can't do this. Sorry, guy." I run.
[Sebastian Dark]: "Say, did anyone wake Early?"
Allen Speight asks people at the station if there is an inn in town
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Behind you the creature takes to the air
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Behind you the creature takes to the air
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): carrying James off
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): carrying James off
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): giving me further headaches
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): giving me further headaches
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): "DAMN IT!"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): ooc I wasn;t the one who sicked them on us
[Keeper]: There is a small inn near the station
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): ooc And what was I supposed to do, get my own ass killed as well as his?
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): ooc Honestly, keeper...
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): ooc That was cruel.
[Sebastian Dark]: did Early get off with us, or is he still asleep on the train?
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): What did you think would happen?
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): What did you think would happen?
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): ooc Uhhhh....good point.
[Alexander St. James]: I assume he's with us.
Alexander St. James walks into the inn.
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): If they are no longer chasing us, I will slow down and catch my breath.
Sebastian Dark follows
[Allen Speight]: "There is an inn nearby, let's go get a couple rooms, and ask our hosts what they know of the estate, then tell them we're going to the pub."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I'll be spending the next few minutes cathcing up with Roland and swearing loudly and profusely.
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): ROland walks on solemnly, breathing deeply.
[Keeper]: They know that it's the only house out in that direction
[Keeper]: It's quite a ways out of town located on some remote moors
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Ok, Roland, that's it. Tell me what's going on here. I just watched a man die because of some flying, doughy thing after escaping a cult mansion devoted to an ancient Egyptian sorcerer.
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): My life USED to be normal.
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "What did you do to get involved in all this?"
[Allen Speight]: Too far to walk?
[Keeper]: The inn itself is a rustic place
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I don't know!
[Alexander St. James]: Is there any form of transportation available?
[Keeper]: Well, I guess you could walk it if you had to
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): This is madness!
[Keeper]: But it's at least fifteen miles
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "How did you get kidnapped?"
[Allen Speight]: Anyone headed out that direction tonight with a car or some other form of transportation?
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): How'd I get kidnapped?
[ CeeKay left the game ]
[Keeper]: There's no electricity in the building still there, it's all oil lamps
[Keeper]: Testing
[Keeper]: Did I loose connection?
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): hi
[Alexander St. James]: I appear to still be here
[William Hollis]: i'm here as well
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): That was odd.
[Keeper]: It took about thirty seconds for my text to go through
[Keeper]: Very odd
[ CeeKay joined the game ]
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): So how was I kidnapped?
[Sebastian Dark]: ooc lost my connection
[Keeper]: That's okay, things got odd on this end too
[Keeper]: So, the building is really old.  It doesn't have electricity or indoor plumbing
[Allen Speight]: Is there anyone in town who works out at the estate?
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): In case you forgot, you saw somone getting beaten a few nights ago and tried to help
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): You got beaten too and woke up in the cell
[Sebastian Dark]: "(whispering) "Let's see if we can keep this one in one piece."
[Keeper]: They don't know anyone
[Keeper]: Those people out there keep to themselves
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I can't remember the details...someone was getting beaten by a bunch of thugs. I tried to step in and I got smacked around.
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I woke up in that cell.
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Hmm.  I guess they just needed anybody.
[Allen Speight]: Does anyone have a car in town?
[Alexander St. James]: "Why don't we try to keep our interests quiet, and look to see if there's some form of transportation we can rent?"
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): That was...I can't even remember. It could have been more than a week ago, for all I can think.
[Keeper]: There are several people with cars.  Why nearly ten of them in the town!
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Honestly, I don't know the whole sotry either.  I was only bullshitting Gavigan so he didn't think he had an advantage,"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "It turns out I was right."
[Allen Speight]: We might want to take a drive around the area, being the real estate investors we are . . . do you think any of them would be willing to rent their car to us?
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): You said you were with a group...where can we get in contact with them? And what does this 'black pharaoh" have to do with anything?
[Keeper]: "I bet ol' Wilson will let you rent his out.  He does that kind of thing all the time."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Well, as far as I know they're back in London.  All I know about the Black Pharoah is that he is the bringer of bad news for my friends and I."
[Alexander St. James]: "Sounds good.  We'll pay him a visit."
[Allen Speight]: Think we could find him at the pub?  I could use a pint
[Keeper]: "He's over at the tavern at this hour most likely."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): So this supernatural force is chasing you around, and you're investigating this Carlyle catastrophe. I see.
[Sebastian Dark]: "Has anything odd happened in the area lately?"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "We've been having run ins with men wearing these anhks for the last month or so and none of them have gone well at all.  Apparently Gavigan is behind some of this plot."
[Keeper]: "Well, the fish harvest is down this year..."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Do you know anything about those....things that jumped us? 
Allen Speight stows his bag in the room, and starts to head out to the tavern.
[Sebastian Dark]: "Really?  Been doing a little to much fishing in the area?"
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "No.  I didn't get a look at them.  I have yet to run into any flying things, although I have hear stories of giant snakes and fish monsters.  Plus a glowing ball of fire burned down the last two hotels I stayed at."
[Keeper]: The tavern smells like fish, a lot of sailors are in here having a drink after a hard day's work
[Keeper]: "No more than usual."
William Hollis follows Allen over to the tavern
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I take it there's a lot of very strange stuff going on. I hope your friends have goten something done.
Sebastian Dark thanks the innkeeper for his time and heads to the tavern.
Allen Speight orders a pint, and asks if there is anyone named Wilson here
Alexander St. James walks into the tavern
[Keeper]: You're pointed to a balding man with a few wisps of brown hair left sitting a table joking with five other guys.
Allen Speight wanders over toward them.
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): FWIW, Chris is really giving off a stench
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): FWIW, Chris is really giving off a stench
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): He smells like vegitables that have been left out in the sun for three weeks
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): He smells like vegitables that have been left out in the sun for three weeks
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Phew.  What's that smell?"
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I sniff my hand. it's probably the monster goo from my punch, right?
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): Yes, the smell is strongest on your hand.
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): Yes, the smell is strongest on your hand.
William Hollis gets a drink 
[Allen Speight]: "Pardon me, good sir.  But my friends and I were interested in your countryside, and we heard you might be willing to rent us your car to do a little touring."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I make a face. "It's pulverized monster gunk. God, that's disgusting."
[Keeper]: "That was your daughter?  i thought she was your sister!" Everyone at the table laughs at this
[Allen Speight]: "Ah, hehe, yes, the daughter (chortle)  A good one."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Wipe it off on the grass.  That stuff is putrid."
[Keeper]: "Yeah, I've got a car you can use.  Why would you want to go out on this night, though?"
[Alexander St. James]: "We're expected to meet an associate of ours."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): "Good idea." I stoop to wipe my hand on a patch of grass. "so, mind if I lend a hand with this Carlyle thing? I mean, those guys just stole a week of my life and nearly killed me, then those monsters...look, I want revenge. And I ay prove useful.
[Alexander St. James]: "Unfortunately, his house is a bit of a walk from here."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Well, I am amenable to it.  But what do you do?  Won't you be missed by your employer?"
[Keeper]: "How long would you need it for?  I'm going to need it the day after tomorrow to haul my nets."
[Allen Speight]: "tonight and tomorrow should be sufficient."
[Alexander St. James]: "I'm sure we'll have it back before then."
[Roland Windemeer]: ooc oh that car is getting wrecked... I just know it
[Keeper]: I'll give them a roll to see if they kill you
[Keeper]: er... wreck the car
[Allen Speight]: ooc we won't allow the cleaning lady to ride with us, is all
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Not really. I was taking a year off. I just finished university and my family's of fair means. I'm not wanting for money.
[Roland Windemeer]: ooc heheh
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Oh a graduate?  What did you study?"
[Keeper]: "Okay, but I want two pounds a day, you're responsable for the petrol and any damages."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Theatre.
[Alexander St. James]: "I think we can cover that."
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I'm not saying I'm good at it.
[Sebastian Dark]: "We shall return the car as good as new!"
[Allen Speight]: "Fair enough -- perfectly reasonable.  We'll give you two pounds now, and the rest when we return the car."
[Keeper]: "Here's the key.  It's the blue one in front of the building two doors down."
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "The arts.  As I mentioned before, I am an Egyptologist.  I must say I have a fair amount of knowledge of astronomy as well, although I teach Egyptology primarily."
[Alexander St. James]: ooc Sebastian, I really hope your quote doesn't turn out to be ironic foreshadowing
Allen Speight tips his hat "Our thanks.  We're staying at the inn, if you need to find us."
[Alexander St. James]: "Okay, who's driving?"
Keeper snickers
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Astronomy/ egyptology? I imagine such things could be useful in a situation like this.
[Allen Speight]: "I'll drive.  I think the rest of you would be always swerving to the wrong side of the road."
Sebastian Dark makes sure his life inurance is paid up.
[Alexander St. James]: "I've stayed in England long enough to know which side of the road to drive on.  I'm just not a very practiced driver."
[Keeper]: You locate the vehical.  It's a decrepit truck which the sea air has turned into a rusted hulk
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Yes.  That;s why I was brought on board.  I am a tenured professor at Miskatonic University in the United States, but I was granted a leave of absence for this trip as it will eventually involve going to Egypt and is being sponsored by the magazine."
[Keeper]: It can't be more than ten years old, but it looks ruined
[Keeper]: There are no doors on it
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I see.
[Keeper]: The bed is open and reaks of fish
[Alexander St. James]: "Err.  I'm riding in the cab."
[Sebastian Dark]: "I got shotgun!"
[Allen Speight]: Oh dear
Allen Speight tries to start the thing
[William Hollis]: "well, at least if we do any more damage to it they probably won't  notice it"
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I'm a Miskatonic alum, myself. Grew up in Hartford.
[Keeper]: Someone has to get out and crank it
Alexander St. James cranks the truck
[Allen Speight]: Sebastian, be a dear, would you?
(Roland Windemeer whispered to Keeper): "Really?  Its funny how many people seem to have attended Miskatonic."
Keeper notes that he wishes that people would write in a university on their cahracter sheet 
[Keeper]: rather than use the drop down box
[Keeper]: The truck turns over with some effort
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): It's such an out-of-the-way place. It's a wonder it's so well-attended. And in our case, by people with bad luck.
[Allen Speight]: Enough petrol to get us out and back?
[Roland Windemeer]: ooc well, i specificallt wanted Miskatonic to go with my backstory.  I bet their theatre department is lacking....

(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): I have to point out that it is an Ivy League school
[Roland Windemeer]: ooc can they get the car started and pick us up?  I need to leave soon.
[Keeper]: There is enough gas
[Alexander St. James]: "Okay, let's get going."
[Allen Speight]: "Let's be off then."
Allen Speight puts the beast into gear
Alexander St. James reluctantly rides in back
[Sebastian Dark]: ooc probably enough to blow us up quite nicely
[Keeper]: The truck lurches and the springs are awful so you feel every bump in the road
[Roland Windemeer]: ooc heh
William Hollis braces himself so he doesn't fall out of the truck
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): You hear a vehical coming up the road in the direction you're walking in
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): You hear a vehical coming up the road in the direction you're walking in
Alexander St. James holds on tight
Allen Speight grinds the gears a couple times
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Wait...a car!
[Keeper]: It's a moonless night so you can't see a thing
Roland Windemeer gets off to the side of the road.
[Allen Speight]: headlamps?
[Keeper]: You've got a lantern hanging off the front end
[Keeper]: headlights?
[William Hollis]: lol
[Keeper]: HAHAHAHA
[Keeper]: It only penetrates the gloom a few feet
[Keeper]: Roll Allen
Allen Speight drives slowly, peering over the dashboard
(Keeper whispered to Roland Windemeer): and you guys
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): and you guys
[Sebastian Dark]: "Punch it Chewie!"

(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I start yelling
DICE for Chris Hyle: (1d100) :  1d100=88  = [ 88 ]
[Keeper]: Allen swuves as he suddenly sees someone in the road
[Keeper]: He looks like a drowned rat.  You don't recognize him
[Roland Windemeer]: "Watch out its a maniac driver!  Probably another cultist!"
Allen Speight shakes his fist -- "Maniac!"
[Allen Speight]: "Out of the road!"
Sebastian Dark draws his pistol
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I'm ready with James' gun...
William Hollis jumps out of the truck and turns on his flashlight
Alexander St. James climbs out of the truck and looks around warily.
Roland Windemeer looks at the car and its occupants.
Sebastian Dark aims the pistol at the figure.
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): Let's get them!
Roland Windemeer walks forward.
[Allen Speight]: "Wait, who is it?"
[Alexander St. James]: "Who's there?"
William Hollis shines the light at the figures face
[Keeper]: Well, you can all see eachother clearly now
[Roland Windemeer]: "Ah, gentleman.  I assumed you would be appearing presently."
[Alexander St. James]: "Roland!"
[Alexander St. James]: "We're here to rescue you!"
Sebastian Dark shoots (JUST KIDDING!!!!)
William Hollis well, look who we almost ran over
[Roland Windemeer]: "Since I already managed to escape the cultists..."
[Allen Speight]: "So, this is he?"
[William Hollis]: "Are you okay Roland? any injuries?"
[Sebastian Dark]: "Dr. Roland I presume?"
[Allen Speight]: "Well you didn't exactly leave us a trail to follow -- we're lucky we got this far, get in, man, are you wounded?"
[Roland Windemeer]: "I imagine you would have gone in there guns blazing and got yourselves all killed. Fortunately my companion and I are quite resourceful."
Keeper wonders what they're going to do to James
[Keeper]: Both are, but only slightly
[Alexander St. James]: ooc I'd thought James was in that "player not here" limbo
[Allen Speight]: "Well climb aboard, and we'll get you back to the inn, we can talk more there."
William Hollis shines the light on Chris
[Roland Windemeer]: "Well, if you consider that I've been attacked by a monster that smells worse than English food you could say I've been injured.  No bleeding, however."
[Keeper]: I planned for him last week
[William Hollis]: "Introduce us to your friend Roland?"
[Alexander St. James]: "Who's your companion?"
[Roland Windemeer]: "Ah, please let me introduce you to Mr. Chris Hyle."
[Roland Windemeer]: "This is..."
Roland Windemeer intropduces the group.
(Chris Hyle whispered to Keeper): I'm freezing up.
(Keeper whispered to Chris Hyle): We're done
[Sebastian Dark]: ooc mouseketeer roll call!
[Keeper]: This is a good stopping point
[Alexander St. James]: "Well, I suspect we should get moving before anyone follows you."
[Roland Windemeer]: "We managed to escape with the help of our friend Mr. Galer, but we were attacked by some creatures, call them Charlies, and they made off with James."
[Chris Hyle]: ooc I'm retarded. Trying to talk to everyone with Whisper mode on.
[Allen Speight]: "Made off with . . . gack!"
[Chris Hyle]: I guess it's a pleasure to meet you all.
Keeper notes that no mythos creature will ever be known by it's correct name in this group
[Roland Windemeer]: ooc I agree about stopping... new to get to the store before it closes at 5.
[Keeper]: (especially since I never give them)
[William Hollis]: i think stopping here would be good as well
[Keeper]: Yep
[Keeper]: You guys are set for next week
[Sebastian Dark]: that works.
[Allen Speight]: Alrighty
[William Hollis]: Joel, i won't be able to make it
[William Hollis]: have to work  :(
[Roland Windemeer]: On balance, I'd rather be in Egypt.
[Alexander St. James]: Good.  I want to see what Joel found so amusing about this week's session.
[Keeper]: Okay, it's william's turn to have his brain ripped out next week
[Roland Windemeer]: heh
[William Hollis]: again?
[Roland Windemeer]: Ok guys.  Fun session.
[Roland Windemeer]: I'm going to take off
