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


Indeed! Make a Credit check to see if Cynthia has enough cash on her. Otherwise a trip to the bank is required.

Okay, we can assume you have everything you set out to get beforehand. Please post any additional purchases in-character!

Otherwise, let's get this show on the road.

Re: New player

After the battle, I unfortunately suspect I need to drop out. The game is absolutely excellent, and my departing is no reflection on that. In December I received a promotion, and while that's good news for paying for kids in college, it's been long, exhausting days. I feel lousy for disappearing for so long, because I've legitimately been looking forward to wrapping this up. And I know if the adventure moves on to Australia, my posting rate would mean we don't finish until 2038.

But I'll make an effort to check in more regularly for the next few weeks for the big Egyptian climax!

Hi,

Totally understandable, this game has been going in some form since 2010.

It has been great having you as a player. Much love!

I'm getting over some health issues and am now intending on focusing on completing this part of the adventure.

Thanks for your patience, everyone.

Re: New player

Sorry for the info-dump! Just getting everyone up to speed.

So you are looking for a large underground chamber containing a large number of rabid cultists conducting some kind of mass ritual. One probably involving human sacrifice. There you'll probably find the high priest of the Brotherhood of the Black Pharaoh, Omar al-Shakti, the mummified remains of Nitocris, plus the Girdle, Crown and Necklace of Nitocris. Presumably some form of ritual sacrifice will power the resurrection of the infamous Queen Nitocris, the bride of the Black Brotherhood, which could have further dire consequences.

Right now you are at the right spot, but no entrance is appearing in the solid stone wall that some digging has revealed. Time to decide on what to do: wait, look for another entrance, or try to blast or dig through the stone wall.

You still have the choice of which entrance to use. The one at the Sphynx, or the deep well a ways away. And if you go now, or wait until closer to dawn.

Is it just Perkins going in? Should the NPCs volunteer as well? The Basara brothers are with you hauling crates of Dynamite, as well as JM, Roger and Karlhienz hauling a Lewis gun plus ammunition and stick grenades.

Re: New player

Further, you do have several cultist costumes with you, if you want to go in disguised. These were gathered in England so Chi-Yin may or may not have seen them.

Re: New player

Sneaking in is not my strength. But cultist robes would work. I’d totally forgotten those!!!

(Work blocked RPoL recently. Ugh! Why do they think I’m even at work in the first place???)

I assume everyone who's going in sneaks in? Wearing a costume?
