Masks of Nyarlathotep: Chapter 2 (London)

[Maerdwyn]

Jibril wishes he had an electric torch, but, after casting a baleful look back at Wiliam, moves forward. If the light is turned on on the other side of the bridge, he crosses to that side instead.


ooc: what can I say? When willingly walking into a trap one wants to do so as fast as possible

 

[Gomez]

At the center of the bridge the lamp posts at both sides of the bridge are out. Jibril walks into the darkness and fog and looks around trying to see if anyone is there. The smell of burnt hair assails his nose.

 

[Maerdwyn]

"Ma Hathaa!?" Jibril exclaims and recoils a bit as the stench hits him. Reflexively he looks for the source for just a moment, but then back up out of the smell and into the light

ooc: literally "What is this?" colloquially, "What the Hell?"

A Foggy Night on Waterloo Bridge

Jibril recoils from the smell and backs up under the light of the lamp post behind him. The only sounds he hears is that of an occasional horn of the ships on the river. The smell of burnt hair fades but Jibril can still smell it faintly.

((Then Jack tries to pick the lock instead.))

A Foggy Night on Waterloo Bridge

Jibril recoils from the smell and backs up under the light of the lamp post behind him. The only sounds he hears is that of an occasional horn of the ships on the river. The smell of burnt hair fades but Jibril can still smell it faintly.

Jibril tries to see what's causing the smell, and suddenly stops - thinking back to something he read in Mahoney's office regarding Mr. Groot, he thinks. He's not sure entirely what to make of all this, but knows it cannot be anything good. He turns and hurries back toward William - "Let's go - now. It is a trap!" As they move quickly away from the bridge, looking for a taxi, he tells William what he smelled, and reminds him of the article from the Scoop.

Jibril and William flee from the bridge with the feeling that the very hounds of hell are nipping at your heels. William sees a taxi and he flags it down. Your both jump in and as it drives away, William looks at Jibril with a concerned and puzzled look on his face. "Did you see anything?"


The GM snaps his fingers in frustration as the fish evade the net! Good job!

Mr. Al-Sayid's Spice Shoppe

Jack pulls out his lockpicks and and works to open the door to the spice shop. After a few seconds the satisfying sound of a click tells Jack that he is successful. The door opens to the pleasent smells of the pitch dark shop.

Jibril and William flee from the bridge with the feeling that the very hounds of hell are nipping at your heels. William sees a taxi and he flags it down. Your both jump in and as it drives away, William looks at Jibril with a concerned and puzzled look on his face. "Did you see anything?"

"I saw nothing, and no one answered when I called out - there was no person here waiting for us. What I did note in the heavy fog was the smell of burnt hair - the same smell described in the Scoop article about the attack on Mr. Groot. There wee enough questions about this being a trap to begin with without that little coincidence, do you agree?" Jibril frowns. "The phone call to our room indicates that our efforts to remain discreet have failed. Maybe we should check in with Miriam and Charles, then retrieve our things fro mthe other hotel tonight.

The GM snaps his fingers in frustration as the fish evade the net! Good job!

ooc:Thanks - took forever for the smell thing to ring a bell, and then a while longer to find the evidence thread to figure out I was remembering correctly Y'know, it occurs to me that someday ,the Mythos will wise-up and make their minions smell like freshly baked bread instead of burning hair

OOC: I figure that a good sense of smell is one of an Mythos investigator's best defenses!
