In our last episode our brave investigators taking a respite in Cyprus discovered the existence of a cult among a well-to-do family. Following serious misadventures in pick-pocketing, a drive in break in to the estate discovered that indeed a cult did exist: it was a bunch of rich guys who really had absolutely no idea what they were doing. So when they actually summoned a great gelatinuous tentacled blob that grew, grew, and grew they all went stark raving mad in a variety of ways. A bold dash to their book of summoning and a rapid escape proved to be in order. It is a shame that nobody tried to rescue the bed-bound mother who was screaming for help upstairs. Of course, she was screaming in a language that the Investigators didn't understand... how could they be blamed? Take the next boat to Kenya. It must be a safer there. Surely it must be safer... -- Lev Lafayette, BA (Hons), GradCertTerAdEd (Murdoch), GradCertPM, MBA (Tech Mngmnt) (Chifley) mobile: 0432 255 208 RFC 1855 Netiquette Guidelines http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt http://www.quicksales.com.au/shop/RPG-Review.aspx From everyonelse58 at hotmail.com Wed Sep 24 09:12:05 2014 From: everyonelse58 at hotmail.com (Martin Tegelj) Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2014 19:12:05 +1000 Subject: [Nyarlathotep] Escape from Cyprus and off to Kenya In-Reply-To: <2505d903a71ab3b68cd802b1e3aab110.squirrel@webmail.rpgreview.net> References: <2505d903a71ab3b68cd802b1e3aab110.squirrel@webmail.rpgreview.net> Message-ID: Hi Everyone, If I get my webcam working I can join join you tomorrow for Cthulhu.

(Google+ Hangout would be easiet?). In the last episode the Investigators decided it was time to leave Cyrpus, having witnessed the destruction of the home of one of the wealthiest individuals in Nicosia as his entire house exploded due to the rapid expansion of a great gelatinuous tentacled blob. Now *Kenya*, that sounded like a much safer port of call. Travelling with them was a psychotherapist who had now seen too much - Constatin von Economou Taking a ship from Nicosia to Port Said (and lying *very* low indeed), then to Aden, where they barely struck up enough courage to step ashore for a few days, eventually reaching Mombasa, a rather attractive port with obvious influences from Arab, Indian, sub-Saharan African, Portuguese, and now British colonial styles. The Investigators also had a lead from Ju-Ju House in New York to Ahja Singh, exporter of fine and exotic art pieces. Unfortunately, there seemed to nothing to the store of note, despite a careful stake-out. What was more interesting was how the Investigators spotted that they were being shadowed and spied upon by a turbanned man with in an inwardly curling beard. Because of his excellent stealth, they sent Alfred Bradley, parapsychologist and Olympic pistol shooter to find out was this dastardly villain was up to. In following the individual, poor Mr. Bradley became lost in the back streets of Cairo. The last thing he noticed was an Indian man with a hefty club connecting the lump of wood with his head. The party, quite beside themselves, had initially given up hope on his return. But Alfred Bradley did escape from the cell he found himself in, broke out, and eventually made it back to the Investigators. Seeking immediate medical treatment, the doctor marvelled at his recovery, and especially the rapid curing of his wound to his head from the blow. Alfred however was less impressed with the texture of his wound that felt both slimy and spongy. With numerous hints pointing to Nairobi, the Investigators caught the famous Ugandan railway. It was quite a beautiful journey, at least for those European folk travelling in second and first class, at the last train carriage. In between them and the wood-burning locomotive, was the dining car (two meals for the Europeans, breakfast and dinner), the third class of Indians and Arabs (the 'brown' car, one meal for them, silver and china put away), and then the smokey flatcar for blacks and freight (bring your own dinner), after that the wood tender, and finally the locomotive itself. During the journey however, their suspicious Indian was spotted yet again. He proved incredibly elusive however, even as he dashed into third class somewhere. Soon after his disappearance, strange burning lights appeared above the train and then within in. The Investigators recognised these as Fire Vampires; the other passengers simply found them uncanny in their behaviour. It was the quick thinking of the party that put out the vampires with buckets, sands, and even champagne (a terrible waste in some respects). Finally, after an epic journey through the day, and arriving quite late at night, the investigators finally made it to Nairobi.. -- Lev Lafayette, BA (Hons), GradCertTerAdEd (Murdoch), GradCertPM, MBA (Tech Mngmnt) (Chifley) mobile: 0432 255 208 RFC 1855 Netiquette Guidelines http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt http://www.quicksales.com.au/shop/RPG-Review.aspx From jens.adler.nielsen at gmail.com Wed Sep 24 11:44:51 2014 From: jens.adler.nielsen at gmail.com (Jens Adler Nielsen) Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2014 21:44:51 +1000 Subject: [Nyarlathotep] Escape from Cyprus and off to Kenya In-Reply-To: References: <2505d903a71ab3b68cd802b1e3aab110.squirrel@webmail.rpgreview.net> Message-ID: Excellent! :-) On 24/09/2014 7:12 PM, "Martin Tegelj" wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > If I get my webcam working I can join join you tomorrow for Cthulhu. > > Laters > > > > Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2014 16:56:59 +1100 > > From: lev at rpgreview.net > > To: nyarlathotep at rpgreview.net > > Subject: [Nyarlathotep] Escape from Cyprus and off to Kenya > > > > The next session of the many faces of Nyarlathotep is tomorrow night. > > > > In our last episode our brave investigators taking a respite in Cyprus > > discovered the existence of a cult among a well-to-do family.
