Babylon Log: Graverobbing and Black Sorcery in Egypt

So the heroes arrived in port in Egyt and established a new trade post. Now they had trade posts everywhere except Elam and Uratu. The ans was pleasant and they enjoyed luxury and peace. Went hunting and battled lions, a giraffe and a flock of Demon birds! The local hunters seemed not to think Ostriches were so evil but the heroes knew better - they were the spawn of the Anzu bird. Saw the Sphinx and Pyramids. A giant cobra almost got Kull. A demon with a lion body with a cobra coming from it's neck attacked by night. Managed to cut snake from body and had two monsters to fight instead but it eventually died chopped into many small bits. This upset the hunters a bit so party found their distractions elsewhere from killing mostly  dumb animals.

Eventually decided to visit Toth's family in Karnak. A week of travel to Thebes on a pleasant river cruise. Once there he met his family he had not seen since being sent to join his father in Babylon as a child. He met his "baby" brother who was overjoyed to see them. Recognising them as great adventurers he invited them to Karnak where he worked with a clan of grave robbers. He also mentioned you could buy ancient black manuscripts there.

"Really", said Toth.

So all went to Karnak and spoke to some Nubians charioteer scouts from the south border on the way. Got a ferry over the Nile and towards the city of Karnak. Thoth's brother led them through a fringe village of tomb builders which pleased Toth. In the mountains nearby was a tomb valley and the craftsmen made a living building ombs anc crafting grave goods and art. Of course others made a living robbing them and selling old grave goods as new. At the boys criminal friends home the gang met the heroes and offered them their barn to stay in. Sobek who loved animals stayed in the barn the rest set up tents, Ariana bossed Sobek into making her tent. While shopping for forbidden papyrus scrolls found a half brother who had been missing from the clan for a year. He was a scribe and was travelling and studying and happily rejoined the party. The night before the trek, Toth inhaled the sacred fumes of incense and dreamed that treasure awaited. Ariana's wind divination warned of death.

The band were weary of heroes but offered to take them to a forbidden valley and cursed tomb. As they marched to the valley the groups sized each other up. Toth's brother hoped he would impress his gang who clearly thought very little of him. Scorpions were everywhere.

Found a ancient Mustaba style slab tomb, pre dating the Two kingdom era, with much simple art. Art on door proclaimed was tomb of Unas the untouchable who claimed to have eaten the gods and claimed their power. Kull a champion of Marduk saw similarities to his god's claims.

A gang member smashed the door down and the leader decided to leave the boy and several guards outside (hoping to use Toth's brother as a hostage). Inside was more simple tomb art art pre dating the Egyptian style. At end of hall was a another wall but this barrier was a hastily erected and crudely plastered over. So the gang smashed it down. Kull boldly walked through and was struck by a horrible wound that burst from under his skin crippling him. While he healed himself Pek warded himself from magic and stepped through. It didnt work but he managed to survive the wound and then smashed around the door frame looking for wards. Found thee statuettes and broke the ward. Two more alcoves were passed and wards gathered but each was weaker. Finally at end was another plaster wall. When smashed hole through it. As one of heroes could cast a wall of darkness he did not fear it and finished the smashing and wennt through. Sobek had collected all the warding idols of female figurines with crowns.

Inside were two huge crocodile headed sarcophagi and a jet black smooth faced sphynx and two more doors. All thought the Sphynx creepy and several robbers backed off. Sobek stared at the face and went into a trance and several others tried to drag her out. Kull started to cast a spell in preparation. This angered the tomb spirits who awoke the crocodile Mummies. A huge brawl broke out. Ariana now afraid of big monsters she cant seem to hurt jumped through the wall of darkness. One bandit went insane and stabbed Kull. When a party member hit him back the bandits all turned on the party and several fled. Ariana for some reason behind the wall of shadow struck them dead. Others tried to Drag Sobek away but she was busy in a dreamland conversing with Nyarlathotep. He offered her advice and magical power if she needed it. The bandits and mummies were all finaly killed but everyone injured. Ariana went outside and shot all the guards and Toth's brother. Toth eventually showed no concern as his cult defended the underworld and practised treason as a matter of course. He was planning on killing his brother and all his friends.

Sobek recovered with a new spell the dark god gave her to call him. Yay!

Two more tunnels were left to explore. Aparenty the Tomb of Unas had been moved by the cult of the Dark god. One passage led to a empty shrine tomb of the Black Pharaoh Nophru Ka. Art depicted suffering, monstrous gods and the revolting priests who destroyed him. Unclear if past or future. Obviously post dated the construction of the tomb. The second chamber depicted a strange city of wonders with great towers, men flying in sky chariots and a future king. Found several strange relics including potions. Thinking them ambrosia of the gods several drank it and found themselves in a strange state where they did not breathe. Also found a black papyrus book and a strange metal coffin with alien sigils. A large disc on the front with symbols and moving rods at different speeds. A smaller series of discs seemed to be some kind of lock. Aslo were several enchanted daggers, a mace and a crumbling bow and arrows.

All the treasure was carried away to Karnak. They were told of a rich merchant interested in such goods. After showing treasure to his servants they were allowed in and met the corpulent huge merchant. He seemed pleased and offered the to rest. The golden potions he gave them plenty for and the empty ones. He explained they were potions that allowed wizards on star born stteds to traverse the heavens. Party grunted - nobody interested in that. The great coffin he offered a talent of silver (30kg). Enough to make them allrich. Sobek thought this was odd and suspicious. Toth was keen to sell. The merchant offered them a night as his guests to decide and the barbarians were left to guard the coffin in a vault. Sobek pleaded the should keep box but merchant explained would take a life time of study and none of party especially barbarians would ever understand the box. They did sell a dagger and the mace and paid the merchant to use sorcery to mend the bow and enchanted arrows which Iltani kept.

So in private rooms the nobles rested. Ariana tried wind divination that said the box was a great mystery and dangerous. Sobek called the dark god who took her spirit to his palace across the universe and told her of the power of the clock to travel in time and space but he could teach her the same with witchcraft. He also told her the current combination. Alarmed she went downstairs to check on the barbarians who unimpressed at being called stupid were taking turns at opening it. Pek managed the combination. A crack appeared and the lid began to open. Heavy breathing and tentacled fingers slipped out and Pek jumped on the lid. A horrible scream from within as the lid shut and the lock re set itself.

Unknown to them it was a poor time traveller with an alien bodied gained on his misadventures.

Toth spent night trading spells with the Merchant who preferred simpler cult magic to complex sorcery.

In morning The exchange was made and all party now rich beyond wildest dreams. Mansions, slaves, even a small castle were within reach. They were keen to go home and spend it.

Babylon Log: Into the Labyrinth

 So settled in Knossos after exiting sea voyage with giants and dragons and the wrath of the Gods. Ariana was home and saw her family and beautiful twin brother.  The heroes set about setting up a trade outpost and before long were invited to see king Minos. Slightly wary they mrt the king who invited them to feast and tell him of their travels. He was very amused and invited them to stay. Called for their servants to gather their possessions for the stay. At first being in the greatest and richest court in the woeld seemd ok but was soon clear they were not allowed to leave. Spent days at sport, Sobek spent time in the menagerie and Toth looked in libraries. They heard of sacrifices, the Labyrinth and beast within beneath the palace.

Ariana came across the workshop of Deadalus who was also a prisoner with his son. He viewed the gods as just great lying sorcerers who obtained magic in past when more common. Magic he explained was just a science of underlying principles. Ariana looked at his incredible inventions including a rotating steam sphere, a mechanical device to determine the location of planets and predict eclipses. Ariana spent days here and slept with his son Icarus. She heard about the device he built to disguise the former queen with a hollow wooden cow and how the minotaur came to be. She heard of secret entries to the Maze but Daedalus recommended safer while the dozen sacrifices loose in the maze. She asked Daedalus to join them but he had his own plans under a great oil cloth. Her brother kept inviting her to join him in dallying  with palace eunuchs but she was too busy.

Over days Sobek sent messages outside the palace through servants she befriended. Some of the heroes met the sacrifices, best youths from one of many cities of the mainlands of Greece. They were being anointed and prepared for sacrifice. Pek tried to seduce the maidens as they wouldn't want to die virgins. He got a few kisses at best. One of them was a lad named Theseus who had infiltrated th group to kill the Minotaur. Ariana made friends with the local princess Ariadne and met her sister Phaedra and the girls met a witch of Hecate on tips to help Theseus.

On the fateful day the heroes were at the ceremony where the sacrifices were to thrown into the labyrinth. Ariadne had hidden a sword and thread for Theseus. The heroes got out of the celebrating feast and had taken their weapons and armour hidden to Daedalus's lab earlier. They entered the dungeon and followed the instructions of Daedalus and warnings that the walls moved. Pek and Targ asked why not just kill the beast but Iltani reminded them the monster was a son of a god - the bull was Posieden who already hated the party. Pek said all great onsters are divine and great enemies make a man great. They had been avoiding the bellows of the beast but when they heard screams of the sacrifices they went to see. The great beast was wearing bronze plate armour and was killing several prisoners, They charged and hammered the beast. It had a pole axe and lashed out with kicks maiming Kull at one point who fell but healed himself. Pek had his armour breaching spell and dealt it some great wounds but it was a long fight. Theseus came and attacked it's back and several heroes were in doubt they could do anything.

The beast fell and theseus claimed the head Sobek complained as they had done all the work so she took a horn when thesues insisted would let him overthrow Minos. Besides he had divine favour so wouldnt be punished for the kill as gods told him to come here.

As party fled the secret doors leading to the outside, their servants met them and they all fled to harbour. Arianas family were happy to run the trade hall for the heroes clan. Arianas pretty twin joined them as they sailed for Egypt, land of Toth's kin.

Im arguing with religious nutter in comments about Stone henge now

Into the Labyrinth - kids fighting for and against magicians in time travel cave drama
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcwLnIf4JO8...


All these shows have great RPG premises


Played Mars Attacks game and was big fun. I will get a set of 100 Zombies to experiment with i and dinosaurs. Iost twice but very fun. Models are handy for so many games. I will use army ones in my long stairs and cthulhu games too so will get more army men and the civilian set. Using cheap toy bugs worked well. Get some insects yet.

Played a session of Long Stairs game and players enjoyed. Was by request as other game cancelled. Will try and run a few more games then run Psychon again next year. Nice to have players request I run things.

Long Stairs had three player with 4 zero level soldiers and uniformed consultants each. Got through the Maralinga entrance to Beta forward camp. Got given basic instructions on entering the Dungeon Dimension. First sortie was a hoarde of 180 orcs charging two squads and two MG placements. In a Zulu Dawn moment, the orcs swarm over the razor wire and int the trenches killing the captain and machine gunners first. The other squad was routed and party fixed bayonetes and had to fight in chaotic melee where orcs had advantage. Heroes got a few chances to shoot incoming wave ang got orcs down to point where corporal rallied men with death threats. All very tense and worried. Had to bury dead over a day and found some orc documents and silver necklace on leaders dead. One got into a fight with a grumpy vet and ended up in the brig.

One character sent to trial and got saved from accusations of cowardice. Rest all got declared were no longer green and given more freedom in barracks. Ones in hospital heard horrible noises from x-wing. One player got to assist in a werewolf dissection. Another with occult expertese allowed to test a magic sword and it was cursed and would not leave his side. Another worked in the drone repair pool. One worked on martial arts training and saw guys drilling with machetes and medieval weapons. Italian guy got in with camp mob through illegal gambling. One of the doctors who got injured in orc battle fighting managed to get respect from some of the vets.

In the xenomethodological research labs the guy with the sword, the Italian mobster and a scout who managed to whine his way in got to do volunteer work in the centre ware house cleaning up storage lockers. Began emptying rubbish, empty crates when found a huge archaic chest. The Itaian guy was a big fellow with crowbar so he went to open. The scout saw a eye open in the chest and warned him as the lid opened and the beast revealed it was a mimic. The lid opened revealing a set of jaws, tiny feed grew from each corner and a huge fist swung at the Italian. He martially punched the beast while others swung at it. The cursed sword wielder missed (thankfully not increasing the curse) and the scout pulled out his folding knife. Battered the beast and it knocked down the big Italian and ran. They chased it and fired pistols bringing the monster down. So these guys leveled up. Shifty scout became a first level thief. Italian became a fighter and got heavy weapon group and became a corporal. The one with curse was freed by a gnome prisoner of curse and after a time using his linguistics and occult research skills in the library became a wizard. While first two were mostly accepted as soldiers with some experience the wizard was informed he would not be able to leave and made to sign secret documents.

A few days later party sent to a forward base camp and found vets smoking, collecting orc fingers and ears, drinking homebrew beer. Was more caves were familiar with and a sealed door surrounded by red bricks. It was start of a new section of dungeon style. Party quiet and put to work. As a orc hoard set off some mines, door opened and two wounded men staggered out. Six vets and two contractors had been lost in section and captain selected part members to go and look for them.

Opened door and saw long passage with two arches at end and a corpse in middle of a Australian trooper. Scout went up first and peekked through arches to see four troglodytes who huled great javelins as he shot two with a rifle burst. He took a javelin in the back and fell as two more troopers rushed up to finish two surviving trogs. One got blasted and other ran through a door. Big Italian chased it with M60 into a workshop killing it. Several men fell to trog stench from corpses. Several unaffected put on gasmasks, then dragged out dead and wounded. On man guarded down one arch watching a t-junction while rest searched workshop in one group and others did first aid. As guard watched six kobolds with brass dragon headed tupes rushed im spraying him with greek fire. He scramed burning and fell while Another squadie hosed down three kobolds. Other three fled laughing. Then the squadie realized that was the demolition expert on fire and all fled.

Blast blocked several passages so others went to workshop. Found skin of missing vet. Kicked down next door and saw barricade of barrels. Bearded helmed short men ducked and squeaked in surprised but one of heroes threw in a grenade then slammed door. Blast killed a bunch of Dwarf traders possibly fouling future dwarf human relations. Found a library and another squaddie joined party. The signalman checked he knew the watchwords of the day so he was accepted. Someone saw a eye open on a book and stabbed it killing a living spell book. Found a 1975 Phonebook from Adelaide.

Next room saw tied man in a great nest of hatching eggs surrounded with lady kobolds wearing aprons. Party fired and one got away. Chased kobold with a drone and troops and killed it. Cut free the the man who was one of missing experts.

Next chamber had a pit with a grinning picture of kobold king hanging over it. In bottom was bleeding man. One man climbed down and as stood on floor diseased spike popped up but he dodged. Dragged man up onto surface where new sqaud member tried to push him down pit. Missed but then shot him dead. Others all flumoxed and several ried to grab new guy. He then revealed true form of doppelganger, a inside out mess of organs. They all fired and the new corporal fired m60 eliminating him. Dragged wounded back outside and called mission a wrap. Most of rest got a level.

Was big fun and will do again.

Exilelog: New followers and licking wounds

So the party finished up training and found followers lining up to join them. Nahme the angelic had a first level cleric lost here for months and a scholar of elder lore and well versed in languages of Underland. Acula got several teen orc hopolites who listened to his every story with awe. The were evil but were impressed by possibility of reaching 20 years old so might mellow out yet. The tako octopus lad had grown in leaps and bound with party and he accepted a crabman with expertise in claws and squinty eyes. Nahme thinking of Thomas the cleric she scorned earlier on the surface world.

So up the stairs into the central citadel hub and up stairs to next level. All heard demonic chants and sopped. Acula, his orc wife olga and the theif boy went ahead to peak. A great plaza graffitied in demon runes and 16 bugbear templars with a chaos demon sigil emblazoned on their chests. On the opposite end of huge chamber was a demon with horns, red and black skin, hooves, wings the works leading a ceremony over an altar and a chest.

So party opened fire on demon with magical arrows. He was hurt and closest bugbears fell to missiles. Demon went out of view while mass of bugbears pushed party back into stairs which limited how many bugbears could fight. Demon lobbed a fireball. Most of new flunkies down. Acula's frilly ruff wearing courtier orc was vaporized. Party reorganized as Nahme began healing. Bugbears at back lobbed javelins so the Tako climbed up wall to get height advantage and lobbed fireball back. Bugbear javelineers all dead.  Many of others wounded. Demon hid around corner taunting Nahme. They could see each others alignment halos easily.

Party spirits raised even though most badly hurt and as last bugbear standing demon popped out and cast burning hands killing bugbear and knocking out a few more party members, Acula and Nahme hammered him. Nahme took him on with her good sword vs his burning sword and Acula filled him with magic arrows.

Party in shell shock grabbed look from altar, smashed it. Took whole cursed chest. As demon smouldered away Nahme poured holy water on him and among the ash found his soul stone, the means to summon him.

Fled down to the orc city and rested.

The sword was flaming with cruel barbs but make wielder bloodthirsty. Nahme wanted hear destroyed. Also found bugbear names on soul contract which Nahme burned. Got priest to remove curse on chestand inside was a girdle that granted mutations every time you murdered a thousand people. Went in the too be destroyed pile too. Was talk of fairness of destroying all the magic but Nahme stood fast in she was only here to destroy evil relics while Acula was here to suck up to orc king. Was discussion over god people giving bugbear meat to poor orcs in city but Nahme was assured bugbears were sentient so was wrong. Orc king guards gave coins for killing bugbear chaos cult.

Rested four days and marched back to find chaos graffiti now capped by orc bandit graffiti.
