Kumal Bows low into the dust. A pleasure to meet you Mr. Rock. Oh I feel I know your name from somewhere but my memory is giddy in these high altitudes. You entourage is a wonder to behold just like you sir. Pipeweed you say. I have been yearning to replinish my supplies. rolled 72 for bargain have 55 in it. Try to think of history of a Josephy Rock from Great Britain have 40 in History role 18.

Hmmm I thought I wrote once before, but anyways. Kumal tried to do a history check on the name that the British man said and he made that, but failed on something else I think it was barter. Oh well.


Back to this moment.

My oh my your entourege is magnificant to behold sir. Tracking through these high altitudes makes my brain fuzzy I am sure I heard your name once before....

Pipeweed ypu say how much and what kind of quality do you have. It has been awhile since I smoked on the water pipe of my father and cousins in the suk of the ottoman relm.

You realise that this indeed may be the Joseph Rock the great egotist and British explorer. He seems to be traveling with something of a small army.

He offers you both a sample of pipeweed from his Hookah.

So what rare artifacts or documents are you seeking here in Tibet? he asks.

Game abandoned due to lack of postings.

Goodness me. Another game lost to the sands of time.

I can pick this thread up again if there is any interest.

I'm interested, Ash. Can you tell us more about the game?

I'm interested too. I have a hankering to play a mountain climber.

Our last party went missing some years ago so here is a quick recap.

1920s

The party of investigators are on the trail of a missing piece of manuscript from the Tibetan book of the Dead. This is your assignment from the British museum who are funding everything on your journey. They are currently camping in a small shanty village in the Himalayers on the way from their meeting with the British council in Leh to a monastry named Gyangdrak Gompa.

The party they are traveling with are a caravan of Tibetan traders who were originally arrested by the British and questioned about the first half of a manuscript they found. This first mauscript they found was on the body of a dying travelling monk. Before the monk died he asked the leader of the caravan traders to deliver the first half of the manuscript to his Abbot at the monastry. The manuscript they found which you now have gives details of where to find these missing pages from the Tibetan book of the dead. The pages the museum has employed you to find.

The site lays in the direction of the rising sun from Mount Kailash between two Holy lakes and two sacred mountains.[i

Sounds interesting! Probably be best to start it afresh though.

Yes, I also think we should start from the beginning. It's doubtful that any of the original players will return, but you never know.

Ok perfect, shall I use this thread or shall we start a new one?

We should start a new one. I can create a forum for this game just like I did for Devon Cthulhu. I'm guessing the name is "Mysteries of Tibet" and the era is Classic, so all I need is a short text description for the game, which you can post here.

I'm interested. I have a photographer character I created with Children of Fear in mind (she's Chinese, but I could create a similar Indian character easily enough).

Perfect. Shall we start a new thread for this one?

New thread is probably better.

Is this ok for a character? I don't have a lot of background for her, but I'm picturing her as Bengali, from South Parganas (so a coastal area close to Calcutta). She's a photographer employed by British archaeological and naturalist expeditions - she has some ambivalent feelings about this - they are uncovering a lot of history, which is good, but they're also looting a lot of it. Her real photographic passion is landscapes, which the work gives her plenty of chances for. She doesn't make anyone call her Anjalidrishti rather than just Anjali, but her family always do, because Drishti refers to eyesight.

Ash, if you write a short blurb for the game, Mr Handy will be able to start a forum for it.

Are we using 6th edition?

Yes we will be. Perfect character yes. Ok I shall write a blurb.
