Masks of Nyarlathotep: Chapter 2 (London)

[Gomez]

"Black Pharoah? Hum?" say Charles. "Let me see." He starts to rifle through his books and thumbing through pages. "Ah! Here it is. I thought that sounded familiar." Charles starts to read a passage from the book he has in his hands. "Nephren-Ka. Also known as the Black Pharaoh, the last Egyptian pharaoh of the Third Dynasty. Nephren-Ka threw down the temples of Ra and began to worship a ancient and dark God. He built a dark temple to this unnamed God and committing human sacrifices there. It was this that ultimately brought Nephren-Ka’s reign to an end as the people revolted against him. Such were his deeds that his name was struck from the monuments and other records."

Jack throws out a bit of money for a tip then heads out of the cafe thinking the fog just might prove useful. He looks up and down the stree to see who might still be out and about.

"I don't know how keen I am on breaking into the place, but I suppose it couldn't hurt to have a look around. We just need to be careful. The last thing I want to do is wind up tied up in another dark basement."

"That doesn't sound good... Can you find anything more on the god he worshipped or the religion he practiced? The man we met today went absolutely lived when we asked about this Black Pharoah..."

Charles thinks. "I don't remember reading of the name of this 'Dark God' but I could do some digging to see. Oh! I almost forgot. The symbol carved into Jackson's forehead is the symbol of the Cult of the Bloody Tongue. They seem to be based in Kenya and worshiped some fierce god with a long red tongue. I guess that is were the Bloody Tongue comes in."

The phone rings.

There are few people on the street. A bobby (police officer) can be seen walking away from you and down the street. Soon he is lost in the fog. A car passes by in the opposite direction as the policeman. The restaurant that you just left is the only building with lights on that you can see.

The phone rings.

Kenya. Where the Carlyle group was killed. huh. Jibril picks up the phone. "Hello..."

 

[Gomez]

A husky arabic voice is heard over the phone. "If you want to learn the truth about the Brotherhood come to Waterloo Bridge in a half hour. If you involve the police, I will not be there." Then you hear the click and the phone is dead.

 

[Maerdwyn]

ooc: was it al-Sayid or any other voice Jibril recognizes?

Jibril relates the phone message to the others.

"Should I go?" He hates the idea of going alone, but he also hates the idea of leaving Charles and Miriam here alone if he should he take William with him. They know where we are, he thinks bitterly.

Jibril relates the phone message to the others.

OOC: Jibril does not recognize the voice.

William goes over to his suitcase and pulls out his revolver and starts to load it. "Waterloo bridge is not to far I think but if we are going to make it in 30 minutes we need to go soon."

Charles looks at the revolver in William's hands and then he pulls the large book in his hands close to his chest. "I...I..don't know. It could be a trap!" he says in a shaky voice.
