The Wednesday Society's fifth session in Egypt basically centred around their discovery of the tunnels and great chamber under the Pyramids at Giza. Although they had visited the Pyramids when they first arrived in Cairo, they had missed the secret entrance to the tunnels in Menkaure's pyramid. This time, I let them stumble upon them, literally, as I had Rumpolio fall down the burial shaft entrance.

Potentially they could have used this discovery to foil the resurrection of Nitocris ...

OK, time for some catching up! The group is still meeting pretty regularly, most Monday nights, although more recently I've put a bit of a spanner in the works by getting myself a job in London so I shall be moving away in the next month or so. We *will* finish it though, even if I have to come back to run the thing for an entire day at the weekend.

So, last time we had the group poking around in Cairo, still unknown to the Brotherhood. For the fourth session in Egypt they continued ...

Life is pretty busy at the moment (I have a new girlfriend, I'm looking to move to London, plus I'm playing in a Pendragon campaign), but the Masks group is still going, albeit with some changes to personnel (both in terms of players and characters).

In short, they've just arrived in Kenya after having regrouped in London. The Egyptian chapter ended with, surprise, surprise, a near-TPK at Nitocris' resurrection. I have reasonably good notes on the sessions (another three in Egypt ...

Not much in terms of overall plot happened: they questioned Kafour again, working out that the Brotherhood intends on resurrecting Nitocris and that they need the Crown, Necklace and Girdle; ...

That session just flew by: we only really covered the group's encounter with Nyarlathotep in the Bent Pyramid and their meeting with Wassif but before I knew it we'd been going for three hours. I tried to play the big N as mockingly as possible, and although I got some sarky backchat from the players their characters were pretty cowed (although the player of Capt. Hughes was not at this session, so I don't know if he'd have tried a pot shot at Nyarly). The purported SAN loss for the vision of ...
