Ok, so just to make sure I am following....

we are taking a boat to Thebes\Luxor - arranged by Norris

from there we go to British Fort, where Norris' friend gives us the archeological "disguise" gear and camels for the desert

we try to find the tomb of Thut3 w\o Circle jerks noticing, since maybe they don't know where it is

we destroy vampire and take his loot

Sorry guys, been a busy couple days. Kim almost had the baby yesterday but the docs stopped labor..

Anyway I'm back now. I like the plan to travel the Nile to Thebes, connect with ''allies", embed with an archeological expedition and then slip away..

Elliot still doesn't trust the OMP but hopefully we can destroy the vampire (if he exists) and take control of any artifacts/magical items/treasure before anyone else does. Then we can decide whether or not to turn it all over.

He doubts that the Circle knows where the tomb is- after all, they really only possessed the 'key', we got the true map from Rashid. We have to be very sure we're not followed.

Elliot still thinks that maybe this lost tomb should stay lost but he's gonna go along with the plan.

"I will make the arrangements then. Do be careful. IF they are trying to awaken several ancient... monsters... then they are not only evil but also quite mad. I will telephone the Colonel at the garrison and tell him to expect you. Be wary in your travels... and good luck."


(feel free to ask anything else, otherwise, I'd like to move it along)

JT will spend any extra time he has crafting his demolition components into TNT and maybe breaking up one of Norris' wooden chairs to sharpen the legs into stakes.... when Norris isn't watching, of course

Elliot is glad he has some silver bullets. Maybe he'll steal some silverware from the hotel to craft some more

CJC is ready when the party is.

Maybe we should go get some holy water and make several dozen wooden stakes?

Good plan. I'm sure we'll have some crafting time on the boat, Eli can craft weapons as a skill. I think we should score some alchemical silver as well, might give our bullets an extra lil zing, and JT could powder it to put in his dynamite!

Let me get back to you on the special materials... I think Norris can probably help with some of that
