Mathematics were highly important to the Egyptians, making it fortunate that Nora was down here with them. Besides herself, Peter was the only one with mathematical training in the group and he was currently merely a corpse. Lady Munn likely would have been able to solve this puzzle as well from a different approach, but she had fallen ill. Lord Major, meanwhile, had a proclivity for falling into holes and only being saved by his undergarments - so they were already off to a [i]fantastic[/i] start. She hated to imagine how they would have fared without her presence. 

	It wasn't long before she had come to a sort of conclusion - the answer would lie within mathematics and the nearby carvings. Nora was reminded of a lesson her mother had taught her once - when attempting to win the favors and affections of a suitor, observe the decor of his household. There will be clues as to what he values and finds important. Similarly, the carvings on the walls may very well help her to discover how to manipulate the cat carving in order to reach Belladonna. [color=00ccff]"The wall carvings around us should carry instructions on how to manipulate the cat carving - I must impress that no one should touch the carving until we have come up with a working hypothesis on what to do, as otherwise... Well, we would be very fortunate if we did not lose another member of this company."[/color] She then started looking at the carvings, hoping to find some sort of answer.

	Gene took in a whiff of the smoke and it finally struck her what it was - brimstone and sulfur. [color=#9370DB]"Fuck."[/color] There was no other way to describe it. She had promised George that she would protect the Lady Munn and look after her. This was meant to be a vacation of sorts from her responsibilities. And yes, this dig was very exciting and she was enjoying herself - so of [i]course[/i] it all had to come to an end eventually. She sighed slightly, chewing the inside of her lip. These people had a hard time believing magic that was happening to them, so there was no way they would believe her if she told the complete truth. 

	She'd need to modify it, make it easier for them to understand. The brimstone and sulfur scent had last been on Peter's corpse. These people believed that he had died in a fire - but she knew better. One of the few things in the universe that scared her was lurking within these ruins potentially. And this wasn't the time or place that she imagined dying - she always figured she would die in Norway. [color=#9370DB]"Look, I'll make this quick - I'm psychic. It's why George sent me to look after you all, I've dealt with these sort of things before - the strange and unusual. There's a shadow monster lurking within these ruins and unless you all want to die, you need to run NOW. It won't hesitate to rip you limb from limb and trust me, that is in the top ten worst ways to die."[/color]
