[QUOTE="Salix, post: 2987469, member: 40003"] [sblock=Psyren's eyes only]Several images run through the doctor's mind. Most of the faces appear to be either seemingly mild-mannered professors or very seedy thieves. One face in particular is very distinctive. It is the angular face of a bald man with a dark goatee. A deep scar runs from his forehead through his left eye and down to his jawbone.[/sblock] [sblock=Avatar's eyes only] Avatar isn't really sure that there is anything else to know, but comment by Dr. Theodopolis does jar something about the mask. It was discovered by one of his rivals, Dr. Samuel Dawson. His great-grandfather was the discoverer of the Piltdown man, one of the greatest intellectual hoaxes of the 20th century. Dawson was extremely driven to prove his legitimacy and had built quite a reputation as a discoverer of archaeologically significant sites. The last paper he published dealt with the crypt of Amar-Sin, last high priest of the Sumerian city state of Ur. The mask was said to be the one Amar-Sin was sealed into the crypt with. Dawson disappeared about five years ago, after being laughed out of academic circles for claiming that certain artifacts were magical. Since then he was known for procuring artifacts for collectors. In his younger days at the University of Chicago, the two men had been fiercely competitive, a condition that persisted into Avatars days of obtaining artifacts. Avatar also feels his face flush hot at the mention of Lord Brixton, a former client. He begins to remember some of the descriptions of the objects: The Amulet of Nanna. A large gold disk on a heavy gold chain that features a recumbent crescent moon (the symbol of Nanna) floating over the Great Ziggurat. The Prayer Stela of Nanna. A roughly 1-foot square arched stone slab featuring a cuneiform prayer to Nanna. The Winged Disk Tablet. A small clay tablet that features the winged solar disk (a sun with the spread wings and tails of a raptor). The Sacrificial Bowl of Nanna. A flat-bottomed gold bowl hammered with the recumbent crescent moon of Nanna on its side and the Great Ziggurat on its bottom. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
