[hr][hr][center][h1][b][i][color=f7976a]Deeper Than The Sands[/color][/i][/b][/h1][hr][b][color=f7976a]Date:[/color][/b] October 6th, 1924[hr][hr][/center] [b][i][color=f7976a]Notes:[/color][/i][/b] Remember - all directions are from the Docks. So if you want to go from one to the other you would need to head back to the docks and then go to another place. (Two rounds to get from one place to the docks, two rounds to get from docks to next place.) To the left they would find the market and bazaar. Straight ahead they would find the rose gardens and perfume dealers. To the right there was a sign for Tours to Athribis and Leontopolis. [i]Leontopolis was known for it's ancient tiles. Athribis was known as the birth place of Amenhotep and many artifacts in the museum back in Cairo held pieces from many a dig that had happened there, transported on rails by trains funded by a George Jay Gould.[/i] This is also where you will find the main train depot in the area.

It sounded like a struggle was going on. Crashing sounded and one could hear someone in there out of breath and it was anyone's guess but it sounded like a fight had broken out in the room. Yet one could still not tell who was in there or was exactly was going on in the room. One thing was sure, it was muffled, at least the grunts and moans and gasps were. That was until one word came out crystal clear in intonation and voice. [color=f7976a]"Help!"[/color] Vera called out from inside the room,she sounded winded and in trouble If the door was checked, it would be found to be locked and wasn't opening just by turning the handle. [color=f7976a]"Help!"[/color] she called out again as another sound of crashing echoed through the door, sounding like a piece of furniture had just splintered under some force. [b][i][color=f7976a]Docks By Boat:[/color][/i][/b] The man looked at the manifest as Mosi told him her name, his finger running down the names and searching for the name she had given. At least then if the name was on the list it was a start. "His finger tapped on the paper, seemed he had found her name. Then he stopped and looked at her oddly as she went on and on about bees. His brow quirked. Looking back at the paper, reviewing some things. "It has here that your ticket was funded by others and that you were part of a group. Perhaps you should have stayed with them instead of going off on your own," he said as he looked back to her. It was a good question, even if he didn't realize just how good it was. The woman was taken along on an expedition and she went off alone instead of trying to help. To go shopping instead of anything that could help the group. granted, if he had known that he might have been far harsher on her than he was being. He wasn't being harsh at all right then in fact, he was just simply asking a question. Up on the boat the other man was coming back, the Captain in tow. As the Captain took a look at the woman while he walked down the gang plank he looked at her oddly, though one could hardly blame him. She had gone ten rounds with a hive of bees and came out looking like she lost the fight. "Bloody hell... she's a passenger?" he asked. The man that had been waiting with Mosi explained she didn't have a ticket but had given a name off the manifest and then showed her ticket was purchased with a group. Sighing the Captain nodded. "Take her to the infirmary. Once the doctor has dealt with this, keep her there until we can locate one of the people from her group and they can verify she is indeed whom she claims to be," he said. That was the best he could do right then. [b][i][color=f7976a]Athribis (Above Ground):[/color][/i][/b] The woman looked over towards Faye and seemed relieved that at least one person wanted to listen to her and seemed to believe her. "It vanished I tell you! It was chasing several of us, baaing and charging. Just as it hooked my skirt I swore it was going to buck me over it's head and then suddenly there was nothing. I looked over my shoulder and I swore it was still there and then it just blinked out of existence! Itcouldn't have just run off or turned around or ran behind something. It's horns were in my skirt and it would have ripped it had it changed directions. I tell you it just vanished! Like a ghost!" she rambled on, her body shaking and trembling in fear. She knew it sounded like she was mad but she was sure of what she had seen and what had happened, there was no doubt about that. [b][i][color=f7976a]Athribis (Underground):[/color][/i][/b] Bella took a step back and allowed Nora to get closer so that she could examine it. The more she looked at it, the more she was able to figure out. The number 45 was prominent there. 45, it was a number that would stick out, there were supposed to be 45 tiles. There were two other numbers woven or mathematically calculated 17 and 28. None of these numbers were together. Then she would notice the circular carving that was there, numbers 1-45 on it, all out of order. Could these be moved? Rearranged? Something? "Thank you," Bella said as she took the flask while Gene was searching. Her hands moving and seeing if there was anything about. Oh there was. It wasn't a lever or anything but as she searched, one of the stones seemed to shift a bit. A little more pressure and it pushed fully to the side. There was the sound of something clicking around then, it working over their head and down the other wall before it was clicking below their feet. Bella lowered the flask from her lips and looked over towards Gene and quirked a brow. Slowly holding out the flask back to the Lord Major as she swallowed. There was a slight rumbling beneath their feet. "Oh dear," she said before the sand and ground fell away beneath her. The world seemed to move in slow motion for everyone as she plummeted into the darkness below. A fog forming in the hole before it vanished suddenly, dissipating quickly. No more sounds could be heard. It was silent.
