Well of Sacrifice (IC)

The Yucatan has long been at best a marginally explored region of Latin America. As one of the great centers of the ancient Mayan culture, it holds many secrets long sought after by historians and archaeologists from around the world. The investigators are a small group of explorers whose mission is to seek out and survey sites for ruined cities and towns on the peninsula. A long lost piece of information leads the group into a dark corner of the Yucatan. What will they find and can they survive the Well of Sacrifice?

Anna looks around the station and what she can of Muna, "What kinda place is it?" she thinks to herself, hoping they will find a decent hotel, Stillbridge's hotel? as the professor hoped.
OOC:   Muna itself is a medium sized city of about 2000 people. Of Archeaological note. It is a couple of miles north of the ruins of Uxmal. Uxmal is an ancient Maya city of the classical period. It is considered one of the most important archaeological sites of Maya culture, along with Palenque and Calakmul in Mexico. You team has visited this site at least three times.

-Well, besides the logistic, I don't think we should spend much time here. We have a long journey to make.

"We're mainly here to get background information on Stillbridge and his earlier expedition," says David. "The ruins of Uxmal aren't too far away. Perhaps that's what brought him here. Maybe we can find his old dig site, if there is one."

"Well, I think we've all been to nearby Uxmal," comments Quinn, breathing out some smoke rings. "That site has been well picked over, so perhaps Stillbridge visited elsewhere. Let's see what we can learn at the local hotel. A place this small may have only one, and Stillbridge could have stayed there."

He looks up and down the street, expecting a hotel to be near the train station.

Mitch feeling somewhat bruised by the rebuff he has been handed by Anna, but determined to not let any embarassment show in his face, busies himself with his camera. Although there is little picturesque in this station, he does manage to find a few good pictures of a group of brightly dressed natives as well as several more recording the unpacking of the gear from the train.

"The hotel it is then," says Anna. She collects her valise, and then follows any other passengers to the station exit, "Hotel?" she asks with a decent Spanish accent.

David nods. "Agreed," he says.

You find a passable place to stay at the Hotel Tropica. Mule drawn carts and a few automobile pass up and down the cobble stone street outside the hotel. Children run and play in the street as a group of old men watch from the porch of a barber shop across the street.

"The Tropica, let's hope it has ceiling fans and running water," says Anna. She spots the old men at the barber shop, and wonders to herself if they can carry a tune . . . ?

"Yes, that would be nice," says David. "Hot water would be too, but I'd settle for running. I'm sure they won't have electricity, but gas lamps are a possibility." He leads the way into the hotel and looks to see if there's someone working the front desk.

-Specially, because as soon as we start the expedition, we won't be able to enjoy those things.

A man in is thirties with short brown hair and a bushy mustache is at the front desk. He smiles at you with a few missing teeth. "Yes Señor, how may I help you."

"Good day, sir," says David. "We'd like rooms for the night, please. A separate room for the lady, and the rest of us can double up."

Quinn, explorer

Quinn glances around for a hotel guest book. If there is one, he looks back at he earliest dates in case Stillbridge may have signed it.

"Yes Senor, it would be my pleasure." he says with a smile. He hands you three keys to rooms on the second floor. He rings a bell and two teenaged bellhops run up to help you with your luggage.

"Just a moment, I have an idea," says Anna, but without telling what it is she hands her valise over to Quinto.
Children run and play in the street as a group of old men watch from the porch of a barber shop across the street.
She walks quickly--a little skip?--across the street, ruffling the hair of a playing child on her way to the barber shop.

"Hola, caballeros," she says in cheerful Spanish.

The old men look up at Miss Anna and the one of the far left answers. "Good afternoon Senorita."

"Thank you," says David, paying the man and signing the guestbook. "We're members of an archaelogical team. An archaeolgist named Professor Stillbridge visited Muna once, about thirty years ago. Do you know who in town might know about his visit?"
