@Quatermass, would you like everyone to post before those who've already done so (me) post again?

@Everyone,

Johnson's latest find, the crudely bound notes of a mid-nineteen century explorer named Donald
Stillbridge. Johnson had found them in a box in a storage room at the Archaeology Library. The notes are on coarse paper with a string binding The front and back covers are each composed of two sheets of heavier paper that are glued together.

--it occurred to me that the unusual binding may hide secret notes . . . ?

Grognardsw hasn't been on since the 22nd. We will have his character in the background just incase he comes back.

Once you are though discussing what yall want to do just post them here.

[Grognardsw]

Sorry, I'm back.

[Quatermass]

Ok, from your posts this is what a few of you want to do.

1) Miss Dahl is going to send a telegraph to Prof. Ackland at Boston University and then check out some bookshops for info on Stillbridge.
2) Quinn is going to check on some local guide contacts for info on Stillbridge.
3) David is going to do some research at some Libraries.

What about everyone else?

[Quatermass]

You have also talked about going to Muna to check out Stillbridge's last known location. Muni is about 45 miles south of Merida. There is a train service from Merida to Muna.

[Grognardsw]

Quinn is also going to try to steam open the paper on the cover.

[Priest]

Mitch will accompany Miss Dahl, as she seems by far the most photogenic of the group and may be the image that puts his work on the pages of Time Magazine.

[kabukiman]

Percy will go make some research in the library too.

@Quatermass, shall we continue in the main ic thread?

From Necronomicon 2015 in Providence on August 22...

The 2nd photo, the shop window, I have that edition. Do you read a lot of H.P.L.?

[Grognardsw]

Which book in the window do you have?

Yes I've read all of Lovecraft's fiction (and letters to Robert E. Howard), though a long time ago now. I occasionally reread some stories, and listen now-and-then to audio adaptations. I collected the Arkham House editions of his works, all except the first two which are quite pricey. More recently I've enjoyed Alan Moore's Lovecraft-inspired work, from the Courtyard short story (and comic adaptation) to Neonomicon and the ongoing Providence series.

[Quatermass]

Ok,

I need Anna, Percy, David, and Mitch to make Library Use rolls.

Anna, Percy, and David can also make Archaeology rolls.

Quinn needs to make a Intelligence roll.

Post your results on here.

[Grognardsw]

Quinn - Int. 50 check [1d100] = 44

@Grognardsw, in the centre, the thick black book, Necronomicon. Like you I haven't read his stories for years, but I did try a few recently and (whisper) didn't enjoy them. I take it that you'd recommend Alan Moore?
