Callum says, "Where would you like to begin?" Fouccault says, "Tell me how you escaped from us in Tanis?" Callum laughs and says, "Good timing on my part. You attacked when I was answering the call of nature so was a short distance off. I saw what was going on and opted to not become a...

"I collaborate on the construction of the elixirs. It is a long and complicated process, and entails the finding of very special ingredients. For example, the elixir that increases one's movement necessitates the use of some blood from a cheetah."

She acts started at being asked for her opinion. She states, "My command of your language is not very good and those men spoke it differently that you Mr. Eastman. I was following along as the scribe wrote. You appear to have the situation well in hand." Colonel Hassan says, "Well, let us...

Callum acts surprisingly relaxed and says, "Well, my lady friend and I have spent the past four hours sitting inside a warm and dry concert hall and we are both parched. If we are going to be having a discussion we might as well do so like the gentlemen that we are." "You are quite correct...

Colonel Hassan says, "I agree. I suspect that the British will want to retain the footprint of the current base that they have established in Alexandria as their garrison. If we are flexible on that poiint, and focus instead on reducing the compliment of people stationed there, I believe that...

The carriage begins to move and now becomes illuminated with magical light so that the six occupants can see one another better. Andre has Marcel remove the short knife from Callum's sock. Andre leans over and opens the top of Callum's sporran, removing the contents which are comprised of a...

"I regret to say that my stocks of elixirs are currently quite low. With fears of the city being invaded by foreigners there was considerable demand for my wares. In fact, I have but two left that grant the quickness and the one that grants the exceptional strength I have only today been able...

Drury-Lowe nods to the affirmative and then leans over and whispers something to General Wolseley. The General says, "I believe that we have a strong foundation for an agreement although I suspect that you and I may have differences in opinion as to what constitutes a small garrison. I will...

They reach the carriage and Andre opens the door. He gestures for Marcel to go in first. The man does, sitting on one bench of the carriage between two men seated inside in the darkness. Marcel says, "All set, I've got my gun out." Andre gestures for Callum and Abby to enter and sit on the...

He whispers back, "Ah well, in for a penny...." Callum then speaks up and says, "I recognize that conveyance. So it will be Mr. Louis Jacques Daguerre who wishes to talk to us." The man named Andre says, "The woman knows better. And I am guessing that you do too." They move closer to the...

And it's fun exchanges like these that make this campaign unlike any other play-by-post game. He says, "Well, I have one that will allow you to charm snakes. Another will allow you to temporarily move twice as fast as you would otherwise. And I have a third this is much more precious, as it...

They turn and start to head directly towards one of the most elaborate carriages that Abby has ever seen. It is made of mahogany wood, with intricate carvings and gold inlay on the wood. The dark curtains over the windows are all drawn. A team of eight large black horses are hooked up to it...

Marcel speaks up again and says, "He's wearing a leather pouch on the front of his belt. It could have a gun inside it. Hand it over." Callum lets a little bit of anger creep into his voice and says, "Marcel is it, you clearly know nothing about the official Scottish uniform. This pouch...

"I have far more than teas. I have one elixir that you may want. If you give it to the man of your dreams he will then view you as the most desirable woman in the world and swear his undying love for you. There would be no danger too great or obstacle too insurmountable to keep him from you."

They are led away from the large gathering of carriages waiting for the concert goers to return and towards a main street off from that. One of the men further back comes up quickly to a point beside Abby and says, "Careful Andre, he has a knife in his sock." Callum interjects, "It's not a...

"No for only ten Egyptian Pound Sterling," is his reply.

He says, "How about an assortment of seven different kinds. Each has a unique blend of local spices and oriental spices."
