<div class="PlainText">Hi Adi,<br>
<br>
The following is some background notes from the previous session.<br>
<br>
In a nutshell, the Investigators unearthed (for the second time, no less),<br>
a plot involving the Nyarlathotep, the avatar the Outer Gods. Starting<br>
from a murder in New York, the Investigators followed the cult to London,<br>
then to Egypt, to Kenya, then to China, and now to Australia. At each<br>
juncture they learned of different cults accumulating items and engaging<br>
in rituals to open up a gate that would spread across the Indian ocean,<br>
linking Shanghai, Nairobi, and now the Pilbra regions.<br>
<br>
At Shanghai and Nairobi they have managed to prevent the cults from<br>
opening the gates and have also warded the gates from being used again (at<br>
least for the time being). But in Australia, the party has had a very hard<br>
time of it, as the following will illustrate...<br>

<br>
The chapter started as the Investigators engaged in a mighty battle at a<br>
campsite with a group of Koori cultists armed with firearms. Jack Brady<br>
and Jabari made a remarkable and brave attack by engaging them<br>
hand-to-hand, whilst Eva and Stephan preferred a long-range exchange of<br>
lead. Eventually the cultists were defeated and the Investigators located<br>
an entrance to a passageway below the sands, illuminated by a thin strand<br>
of lights. Choosing to rest for a while, they were beset by a great<br>
whirlwind, which proved to be one of the great elder race of yore, a<br>
Flying Polyp.<br>
<br>
"[The flying polyps were a] horrible elder race of half polypous, utterly<br>
alien entities... They were only partly material and had the power of<br>
aerial motion, despite the absence of wings... [They exhibited] a<br>
monstrous plasticity and ... temporary lapses of visibility... [S]ingular<br>
whistling noises and colossal footprints made up of five circular toe<br>
marks seemed also to be associated with them."<br>
<br>
Inside there were even more cultists is dirty lodgings. Whilst the<br>
Investigators did defeat a significant number of these, it was not without<br>
loss; both Eva and Jabari were sufficiently wounded that they had to be<br>
'stored' in one of these chambers. A couple of cultists also seemed to<br>
carry extraordinary weapons that fired bolts of electricity for a short<br>
range. What manner of alien technology was this?<br>
<br>
As the party of two continued down the passageways beneath the Great Sandy<br>
Desert, far from civilization, half-dead and half-mad, the last chance of<br>
humanity against monsters of which few placid people on earth even knew<br>
existed, they encountered a tall, emaciated being, so thin that it became<br>
invisible when turned sideways. It beckoned the pair through a slit in the<br>
rocks and offered to help them, if they helped defeat not only the flying<br>
polyp that was outside, but four others.<br>
<br>
As the remaining party wondered what they could possibly do under such<br>
circumstances, a different problem arose for Jabari and Eva, who awoke in<br>
a room of cages of which the were interred along with many other,<br>
primarily Koori people. They were obviously long suffering and weak,<br>
moaning piteously of their condition. One cage held only pregnant women...<br>
<br>

<br>
Tomorrow night we discover whether the Investigators will someone overcome<br>
these horrific odds and defeat the cult and discover the meaning of this<br>
great old city.<br>
