Masks of Nyarlathotep: Chapter 2 (London)

[Ashy]

*While Miriam is essentially doing the same, she also keeps her mind open to anything that might muddy the auras around her.*

Charles, too, keeps his eyes open for any possible leads, but he is really enjoying playing the role of "tour guide"...

Looking around the African Exhibit, the Jibril looks among the weapon collection of spears, bows, arrows, clubs, and knives. A long handled bush knife catches his attention. It looks somewhat like the knife the men used in New York. It is labeled as a Pranga from South Central Africa.
Miriam and Charles while interested in the exhibit find nothing that relates to the case.

Once inside you inquire about Inspector Barrington. Soon you find youself in the inspector's office.

"Gentlemen, I am Inspector Barrington. You wished to speak to me?" says the tall man in his thirties with short black hair and a long serious face.

 

[Maerdwyn]

Jibril takes note of the information, especially, if available, which tribes would use such prangas and what their uses are(whether ceremonial or simply tools). If nothing much more interests him, he says to the others, "Well, the museum may not be the best source for specific information on our investigation, though I must say that Charles's guidance has been quite enjoyable. There are not such places as this, or the New York museums, in Araby. Thank you, Charles. Now, what would the two of you think of possibly attempting to accidentally run into Mr. Gavigan while he is here? If he is in a meeting, I am sure it must be in some sort of administrative office..."

"What of the Egyptian exhibit? Also, we could always speak to one of the curators - surely they would know from whence these prangas come..."

You are able to find one of the museum curators in charge of the African exhibit, a George Anton Smyth.

"Ah yes the Pranga. It is a common bush knife used by several indigenous tribes of the central Africa such as the Kikuyu and Samburu."


Looking in the Egyptian exhibit you see such wonders as the Rosetta Stone and items from King Tutankhamun tomb found by Howard Carter in 1922. Among the artifacts, you see that several are on loan from the Penhew Foundation.

*Miriam checks the locations of where the Penhew's items were found, trying to find a common link.*

 

[Vendetta]

Jack extends his hand to the inspector. "Good to meet you, Inspector Barrington, and thanks for taking the time to speek with us. Name's Chance, Jack Chance. These are my associates. I was hoping ta talk with you about a couple of your cases." Jack's sharp eyes study over the man trying to get a feel for the type of guy he is, anything that might give him a little insight as to how to proceed.

"What cases would that be and why are you interested in them?" says the Inspector.

The Egyptian artifacts on loan from the Penhew foundation seem to be from several differnet places; Rhodes, Dhasur, Luxor. Miriam cannot see any real connection between them though. Most of them were collected several years before the Carlyle expedition left for Egypt.
