[QUOTE="mikeawmids, post: 6472397, member: 6776411"] [U]Savage Worlds / Daring Tales of Adventure / Chaos in Crete / Part One[/U] Several months after the events over Washington, Emilio was invited to a meeting with the curator of the Boston Memorial Museum. [B]”Ah, Lord Valentine, I’m so grateful that you could join me on such short notice,”[/B] the curator [I]( a portly man in his mid-50’s)[/I] said, [B]”Can I tempt you with a cup of tea?”[/B] [B]”Your note said there would be women,”[/B] Emilio said, peering around the office. [B]”Yes, I had to say that to get you here,”[/B] the curator admitted, [B]”You ignored the last ten notes that I sent to you.[/B] [B]”Anyway, the reason that I asked you to join me today is to discuss some troubling developments on the island of Crete.
