Re: The Mound
Vance approaches the skeleton and takes a closer look. The unmistakable eeriness of the professor's words cause him to raise the axe warily.
Re: The Mound
As soon as you aproach the skeleton seems to make a move... to the floor where he crumbles.
Make a spot hidden roll.

Re: The Mound
Vance is too surprised by the motion to notice anything.
"That skeleton was priceless - maybe we should get out and find a less damaging way to look here? Our footsteps and the atmosphere we let in are evidently harmful."

Re: The Mound
-Yes, welll but before we leave the camera, I would like to take a look to the main entrance.
You hear from upstairs:
-So, did you find anything?

Re: The Mound
"It looks like a tomb. We found a skeleton in armor on a throne, but it fell to pieces as we looked. We can also see pottery, bronzework, and skeletons on the floor."
Vance takes pictures as he talks.

Re: The Mound
-Just bronze- mumbles the professor- this is really very ancient indeed. A new civilization! And a new specie! It's obvious that he belongs to the genus homo, but they are differences. I will depending the results, call him Homo Miskatonicus or if he belongs to the same specie, Homo sapiens Miskatonikus

"But first we need to make sure we have a surviving skeleton."
Vance carefully looks at the ones on the floor.

"Hey, professor, look at this," Vance says as he points to the ring.
"So, what are our plans?"

Re: The Mound
-Just take a skull and that ring. We will send it to be analysed. And let's leave the place and return tomorow

Re: The Mound
Vance looks at the cold-weather gloves on his hands.
"These aren't exactly laboratory gear, but they should protect the artifacts from my hands."
Then he puts away his axe and carefully picks up the ring and the skull.

Re: The Mound
-So can we came down too? We also want to see those marvels- says professor Ling.
-Ok, just wait that me and Mr Vance get outside- answers professor Derby.
Then in a lower voice to you:
-Women: They can't restrain the curiosity. But in this case it's really understandable. We are making history! Nobody will remember Carter, and it will be our names who will be revered!

Re: The Mound
Vance starts to realize just how big the find is.
"Howard Carter? You're right, he never came close to a new species of human. And Neanderthals were not this advanced. If our eyes do not decieve us, this is the greatest find of all time. After you, professor."
He gestures to the rope.

Re: The Mound
He looks at you with curiosity
-I must confess your surprising me. I didn't expected to have the luck of having an educated man as security, I was expecting more the normal thug. Well, let's not make the women await!
He climbs the rope and then he awaits you.

"And I was expecting a life of uneducated thuggery, but I had the luck of doing security for a reasearch expedition," Vance says as he climbs the rope.
Re: The Mound
The trio descends to the mound. 15 minutes latter, Professor Derby shouts:
-Ok, time to get out. We don't want to get lost in the night here.
-Right! Just a couple of minutes more-answers professor Ling
They finally climb and they have a big smile in their faces:
-You must had been quite blind down there! Look at what we have bring!
You see a cylinder with a strange symbol. It is open, and you see a scroll inside.
-Humm, congratulations. That is a fantastic discovery. I'm sure we will have lot's of material to study this night. But let's leave this place. Mr Vance, would you be kind enouth to contact our colegues in the city? Just to tell them that we are returning to the camp.

Re: The Mound
"I'll give them a call. Mind if I photograph the symbol?"
Vance turns on his phone and calls the camp.

Re: The Mound
-Of course! Take several pictures. I know that our finds are probably dwarfed by the discoveries from our colegues in the city, but nobody can spoil our joy now!
Go to the phone call thread.

"Is everyone ready? If the other crew fainted at what they saw, it was evidently a bit disturbing. Perhaps everyone should sit down first."
