When Jabari and Eva awaken, battered, bloody, and bruised, in the cages<br>
they find themselves in conversation with one Johnny Bigbush, who was the<br>
originator of the rumour of the city beneath the sands from Darwin. Having<br>
worked with the shipping company, he was given up for sacrifice to Dr.<br>
Robert Huston and his sand-bat cult leaders. Johnny explains the story of<br>
the Sand Bat and the Rainbow Serpent, and how the Serpent tricked the Bat<br>
beneath the seas. Huston intends to summon and revive the Bat.<br>
<br>
But Bigbush also explains that he also carries the spirit within him which<br>
can heal, and one must suck the fluid from the Rainbow Serpent. Eva is<br>
especially dubious but her fears are mollified when it is explained that<br>
blood will do, "although the other way also works". After sucking of the<br>
Bigbush's blood, he was clearly exhausted and Jabari and Eva<br>
disconcertingly felt their wound close up and heal themselves.<br>
<br>
Back in the Mimi cavern, the slightly less battered Stephan and Jack Brady<br>
are offered some food by a rather comely mimi woman who telepathically<br>
explains that the food contains healing properties. Jack realised that<br>
this probably meant that, like the myth of the faeries, that this would<br>
mean that he would have to remain with the mimi, but went along with it.<br>
After eating the food, he immediately felt his wounds heal, and he grew an<br>
inch. For his part, Stephan asked for the mimi for a review of what they<br>
knew of the layout of the city, which was disturbingly flashed in his<br>
mind.<br>
<br>
Sufficiently strengthened, Stephan and Jack ventured back in the corridors<br>
of the city, quickly overcoming with the leader of a mining party. The<br>
miners themselves appeared to be sluggish and without will, and were<br>
quickly commandeered by Stephen and Jack. From there they made to the room<br>
where Jabari and Eva had been placed, only to discover they were absent,<br>
causing much distress to Stephan.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile Dr. Robert Huston appeared Jabari and Eva and explained his<br>
plans to revive the great beings within the city. He waxxed lyrically (and<br>
appropriately) of the vastness and ancient powers of the place and from<br>
beyond the stars. Jabari feigned interest whilst Eva feigned madness, and<br>
Huston and his cronies took them to the Purple Temple where disturbing<br>
statues of the Outer Gods where protected by monstrous winged beings.<br>
<br>
Whilst this was happening, Stephan and Jack discovered the multi-level<br>
headquarters of Dr. Huston. Unable to release the prisoners, they provided<br>
Bigbush with a rifle which he hid. They also discovered Huston's mining<br>
equipment, dynamite and blasting caps, but most importantly his rambling<br>
notes, which did contain some very interesting information about his<br>
summoning plans, but also of a strange alien time-traveller, a member of<br>
the Great Race of Yith, which he had captured.<br>
<br>
With an objective in mind, Stephen and Jack sought out the alien with<br>
vigour. It was not long before they discovered its prison, trapped behind<br>
an electrical field in a room of fascinating technologies. The alien<br>
communicated with them telepathically, explaining how to turn off the<br>
electrical field - but most remarkably there was also a mental meeting<br>
with no less than Lillian St. John! Apparently after being interned at the<br>
Parisian Sanatorium, she was contacted by a member of the Great Race who<br>
took her mind and body into the future - 1962 in the Belgian Congo no<br>
less. Lillian did express some difficulty in being in 1923, 1925, and 1962<br>
simulatenously and being part of a hive mind. With its release the<br>
Yithian, provided access to several fully charged lightning guns.<br>
<br>
As this junction, Huston and his cronies returned Jabari and Eva to their<br>
cells. Eva noticed the gun and, just as the cell door was opened, smashed<br>
a telling blow on to Dr. Huston's head. From there a frightful melee<br>
erupted at the end of which Huston had been crushed to death under the<br>
stampede of escaping prisoners and his crony cultists equally relieved of<br>
their mortal existence. After the battle, and the party reunited, Stephan<br>
explained to Bigbush the ward of the Eye of Light and Darkness. Bigbush<br>
convinced the Koories to help their rescuers and found several among them<br>
who were good shots with the rifle to take up additional lightning guns.<br>
<br>
Returning to the Purple Temple, the winged guardians within were no match<br>
to the concerted attacks of a dozen lightning guns and were quickly<br>
overcome. Then for the following day Stephan led the creation of the Elder<br>
Sign and the ward of The Eye of Light and Darkness, placing it within the<br>
sanctum and thus ensuring that the Outer Gods could not be brought here<br>
and the great triangular renting of the skies above the Indian Ocean at<br>
the time of the eclipse would not occur.<br>
<br>
The following day the need to confront the Flying Polyps came to the fore.<br>
The first one was relatively straight forward; exiting the mineshaft the<br>
concerted targetting was overwhelming in its devastation. But then<br>
forewarned came another two and whilst Jack was able to spot the<br>
shimmering of one in the wind, they arrived in their temporary invisible<br>
form, and issued forth a great blast of wind, which ripped the skin off<br>
one's flesh. One poor brave Koori who stood up to confront the Polyps<br>
shouting at the windstorm was completely stripped of flesh and muscle.<br>
Many others suffered grevious wounds and were blasted to near-death by the<br>
gale-force winds.<br>
<br>
Making a hasty retreat the party holed up in the relative safety of the<br>
Great City. Stephan came to the idea however of making use of the dynamite<br>
and gasoline. As the Polyps outside bashed on the hatch, a powerful<br>
concentration of explosives were placed near the entrance and then<br>
released with a great explosive force which blasted these beings out of<br>
existence. The Polyps were no more, the cult of the Sand Bat was<br>
destroyed, and the world had been saved from the coming of Nyalathotep and<br>
the Outer Gods, at least this time.<br>
<br>
Although all of humanity had been saved, there was still some bittersweet<br>
conclusions. Jack, now increasingly feeling attached to his mimi<br>
development would remain behind. As for the cage of women pregnant with<br>
some disgusting reptilian monstrosity there was only one solution; many<br>
had already seen the results of this birth and how survival was not a<br>
great option. Taking Jack's Tommy Gun, Stephan carried out a massive mercy<br>
slaughter. The lightning guns were returned to the Yithian who was making<br>
use of the zombie miners to further excavate the City Beneath the Sands.<br>
<br>
With their Koori friends assisting, Stephan, Eva, and Jabari prepared<br>
themselves for the long walk back to Cuncudgerie.<br>
