Masks of Nyarlathotep: Chapter 2 (London)

[Maerdwyn]

Jibril finds it impossible to relax back at the hotel. When Miriam asks him about the luggage, he says, "I think that it would be best to leave it for a few days. At that point, we can have two or three of us watch the old hotel while the rest of call over there and have a porter transfer the luggage to us, or maybe the police station. The people wathcing the hotel would be able to see if anyone follows the porter." He looks at her, realizing that while a young man may not think twice at the thought of a few days in the same clothes, for a lady like Miriam it might be a different matter. He rings the concierge and asks where in the city one could buy a nice dress and hat for a lady*, and then offers, politely to escort Miriam there tomorrow morning.

"Hmmm i wonoder where he is heading off to. Do you want to follow him, or wait here?"

 

[Vendetta]

"I'm thinking about casing out that place in case we need to break in. We can't follow him. The moment he hailed the cab, we lost him. Should have expected that, I guess but I figured he'd take a bus or have an automobile of his own that we could get a plate number from." Jack says as he wonders how late at night it gets around here before the streets get sparce.

Jibril paces back and forth in the hotel room until the others get back, or until midnight, whichever comes first. Normally he would spend the time painting or studying the Qu'ran in an attempt to relax, but his things are across town, so instead cant help but wonder what the others are doing and worry for their safety.

Jack and Father O'Malley

At 9 pm, the restaurant begins to close. You and one other couple are the only ones still there. The couple gets up to leave. A thick fog has rolled in and there are few people on the street.

Charles and William return to the hotel about 8:30 that evening. Charles holds a stack of books in his arms and has a happy grin on his face. "You wouldn't believed the collection that the British Museum has. Wonderful. Simply wonderful!"

 

[Maerdwyn]

Jibril and Miram welcome them back. "Did you find anything interesting regarding what we are investigating? We have another name for you - a title really - to look up if you have reached an impasse..."

 

[Gomez]

Charles puts the load of books on the bed and rubs his hands. "Really? What would that be?"

William speaks up. "We found some interesting things. Where is Jack and the Father?"

 

[Maerdwyn]

"They will be back around midnight," Jibril demures with a meaningful glance at William, figuring they don't really neeed to worry Charles with details about what the others are doing until it's really worth worrying about. "What we learned from Mr. Al-Sayid was that the Carlyle expedition was searching for information on someone called the Black Pharoah, whi we gather was some mysterious ruler of ancient Egypt, but we aren't really sure. Have you ever heard of such a person?"
