It's in a safe at Alexander's mansion. You could see it relatively soon.

The key phrase is "when Khonsu hides his face". Who or what is Khonsu?

For the next week I'll be on the road, then at a wedding, then returning. So I won't be doing a lot of checking on the game. I'll post if I can! (As well, I am having some issues transferrin my files to my tablet so that could be a problem.)

Tony

Have fun!!! We'll be here :)

In reply to The Keeper (msg # 367):

How nice!

In reply to Wong Chi-yin (msg # 369):

I am back from Ontario and now the Alaska cruise. Taking a few days to get back into the swing of things.

The wedding in Ontario was fun, as was the cruise. I really enjoyed them both!

Tony

That's fantastic! Have a wonderful trip!

(I'm assuming only Chi-Yun knows the hint about the moon?

I did get the reference, but only because Moon Knight hit Netflix :P )

In reply to Cynthia Jane Holloway (msg # 372):

Anyone who wants to can get the hint, that's fine!

In reply to The Keeper (msg # 373):

Before coming to Egypt, the investigators disrupted a foul ceremony at the cult priest Gavington's estate in Wessex, England. The ceremony, which involved human sacrifice, did also took place during a new moon. (As well, a fierce dragon-like monster was summoned. So take that into consideration!)

Tony

Oh, I had forgotten that detail!! Hmmm... (the moon part. Less-so the dragon part.)

In reply to The Keeper (msg # 374):

Interesting.

Ok, so the general plan is to make some kind of move at the end of the month during the new moon? The mysterious door seems like it will be open then. Plus there may be some ceremony at that point. Any thought given to warning Miss Agatha or James Broadmoor to not be around Sir Clive at that time of month?

Tony

Just recovering from my season of obsession... happy halloween everyone!

Yes, this is my preferred path. We have an opportunity to blow a ton of cash on absurd levels of explosives for our archaeology project. Let's call them "research explosives". The bad guys have numbers but are tied to a location.

Cynthia has no relationship with these people, does not trust them, and isn't eager to risk the fate of the world on their wellbeing. But she'll help Chi-yin if that's the direction she wants to go.

In reply to Cynthia Jane Holloway (msg # 378):

You don't really need to decide right away, as the new moon and presumed time of the ceremony is a couple weeks away!

Tony

I do still think the decision of whom to warn is with Chi-yin (although perhaps we will want to delay until closer to the date).

Regarding shopping... Cynthia is, and always has been ready for that!

In reply to Cynthia Jane Holloway (msg # 380):

Do you guys have a shopping list for guns and explosives? Or is what Alexander suggested okay? Basically a Lewis Gun, a case each of Mills Bombs and Stick grenades, a case of dynamite.

Tony

I think we may already have an MG and some mills bombs.....

In reply to Count Sigismund Bathony (msg # 382):

I think you do. Think you need a second Lewis gun?

Thanks!

Tony

If we have anyone that can use it, then yes.....

In reply to Count Sigismund Bathony (msg # 384):

Karlheinz, Roger, JM at least all have Machinegun skill.

Tony

I really would like to purchase some things we can place early and activate when the time is right, and whatever tools we might use to close up the pyramid (I assume that's dynamite).

Happy new year's eve, all!

In reply to Cynthia Jane Holloway (msg # 386):

Happy New Year!

In reply to Wong Chi-yin (msg # 387):

Happy New Year!

And yes, dynamite would bring down the tunnels. Of course, how much depends on how expensive they are and how thorough you wish to be!

Tony

What is my father's momentous wealth for, if not for the joy of explosively yeeting cultists out of narrow stone tunnels?
