Masks of Nyarlathotep: Chapter 2 (London)

[Maerdwyn]

"I do not think it is Mahoney. The man does not seem like to sort who would have us followed, at least not by someone who wasn't carrying a massive camera. The only other person I have really come in contact with here in London is Mr. Gavigan. Then I suppose there could be someone who followed us from the ship. Are there other candidates I am not bringing to mind?"

"My gut tells me it was Gavigan...whether he did it intentionally or not is a different question. The fact that the man followed you to the museum and then back to the hotel lends itself to that conclusion. Either Gavigan is somehow involved and told this man, or Gavigan told the man about our investigations which tipped him off...

Of course, there is always the possibility that the man in the hotel is not an enemy, but rather a potential ally. I doubt this prospect, but it could be possible he was trying to contact you. Jack, what was the name of that Egyptian fellow from the Penhew Foundation that the inspector told us about. Perhaps we should pay a visit to him?"

"you're d@mn right we will." Jack says after taking a long drag. "We need a new hotel. Anyone have anything at the old one that they need to risk our lives over?"

"you're d@mn right we will." Jack says after taking a long drag. "We need a new hotel. Anyone have anything at the old one that they need to risk our lives over?"

OOC: The only things at the hotel are your luggage, spare clothing, personal toiletries!

 

[Maerdwyn]

"My qur'an is there. I will need to retrieve it eventually, but not now. May I suggest separate, or at least, multiple, hotels? If one of us is discovered, the rest would then still have a place to go. On the other hand we could simply do what we did today and meet up outside Scotland Yard."

 

[yangnome]

"I have things at teh hotel that I will eventually need to retrieve as well, though it is not urgent. My Bible and my communion kit are both inside my room."

" I do not think that separate hotels would be a good idea. Perhaps two hotels might be, but that might not provide enough benefit to be worth teh trouble. However, staying alone definately does not provide the security we would need should we be attacked. Look at what happened to Jackson when he stayed alone."

 

[Gomez]

William speaks up. "There is a hotel just down the street here, The Continental. It is a nice hotel and right by Scotland Yard. I don't think you could get any safer than that. We could call the other hotel and have them ship our things to the Continental. That way we don't need to return and possibly be followed again." He then looks at Charles. "Why don't I escort you to the Library and we can both work on researching the symbol we found on Jackson's forehead. The rest of you can arrange our new rooms at the Continental and having our luggage moved. Charles and I might be late at the library so you can go and check out some more of our leads. What do you think?"

Jibril nods. "Excellent suggestion. Jack, Father, you mentioned a contact from the Penhew Foundation? Who was that?"

 

[Vendetta]

"One Tewfik al-Sayed. The good inspector believes he was the guide for the Carlyle expedition... Was I mistaken? I thought they all died." Jack says, his cigarette flopping up and down in his lips as he speaks and flips through his notes.

 

[Maerdwyn]

Jibril smiles with irony. "The Carlyle Expedition was composed of men and women of status, were they not? They would not likely to have acknowledge a local guide as one of their own, and the press certainly would not have. The entire 'Carlyle Expedition' may indeed have died. And this man may have been their guide and still be alive."
