Mongoose -

Hope all works out for your kinfolk. Good luck.
Looks like the game is collapsing, so the post rate doesn't seem to matter.
It was fun gaming with you and the others while it lasted!

[Percival Brook] “I’m not certain that you could have created such an effect, intentionally or unintentionally,” Percival says quietly. Folding the paper casually, the historian slips several photographs into the sections of the newsprint and slides the periodical across the table to Giles. “While t...

Giles Once again in his slacks, cotton dress shirt and jacket Giles sits at a small table reading over both the English language paper and the local Arabic periodical. Finding the spices of the previous nights jaunt a bit much, he sups lightly drinking only tea, and nibbling on lightly buttered muf...

Hey there! I am hoping that someone can give me a bit of direction the current “plan.” Percy has just developed the film from the research and has discovered a “hidden image” of sorts. He’d like to meet up with the first Aswan team (or the entire group for that matter) to discuss his findings. When ...

[Percival Brook] As Percival completes the intensive developing of the final negatives and reveals the startling and unforeseen presence of a phantasm or anomaly silhouetted in the light, the art historian and amateur photographer shudders. “I should have pressed Edward to aid me,” he mutters in ast...

Hey all! I’m back and Percival is developing film for the trip. I probably didn’t make it clear enough, but Percival would be in the first group to leave for Aswan. He’d be along to oversee the finances in the field, as well as to provide his historian’s background. Happy New Year and all! Game styl...

[Percival Brook] After the gathering dissolved, the New Englander resolves to return to the comforts of his room and makes his way back to Shepheard’s. At his room, Percival unpacks the 35 mm camera and searches through his effects and gear for fluids and bulbs. Assembling the pungent chemicals in s...

[Percival Brook] “I would certainly like to counted among those that intend to make for Aswan,” Percival offers. “I can do little effective research here, being a non-muslim, and would like to oversee the further procurement of provisions and equipment.” “My experience in art history and archeology ...

Hey all -

Just a heads up ... my posting will be sporadic going into the holiday season, with visitors from overseas and (ugh!) family visits. I’ll try to post when possible. Saladin, please NPC Percival as necessary. He intends to leave as soon as possible for the site.

Quite!

[Percival Brook] “Yes, I can have this film developed before we depart,” Percival says to both Maxamillian and Giles. “Perhaps you might assist me, Edward?” “As for the finances, they are all in order and I’ll furnish the requisite funds for any equipment yet to be obtained,” he continues. “Of cours...

[Percival Brook] Having spent his interlude drifting casually, albeit alertly, through the dusty streets of Cairo, Percival arrives at the gathering. Brushing the sands from his thin vest with a pale hand, he squints as his eyes adjust to the lighting within the chamber Smiling and greeting the asse...

[Percival Brook] “I can understand if the protocols would limit access and I can’t say that I’d want to offend any of the native populace. I am well aware of the current unrest in the region,” Percival says to Giles and Rahim. “I’d not like to run afoul of the law, be it what it may be.” “With regar...

I had a similar issue, though it seems to have resolved itself. Post is now up.

[Percival Brook] Percival breathes deeply, relishing the falling temperature of the Cairo evening. Lighting a cigarette, the New Englander glances casually about at the indigenous architecture and notes the distinction between the structures of the ancient culture that he and his companions intend t...

Yeah, I should have generated Percival with a multilingual background. I will say that he's quick with cuneiforms, heiroglyphics, and pictographs. Symbol systems but no true depth in language. He was too busy learning to shoot weapons and cameras ... and collecting seashells! Another excellent "Info...

[Percival Brook] Percival accepts the water with an appreciative nod and sips thoughtfully. “Giles, I had hoped that we might be able to capture images of the materials researched at the library or of the sarcophagus at the museum, as Pr. Louchon suggests, utilizing some of Edward’s equipment. I hav...

[Percival Brook] Percival listens intently to the vast amounts of intriguing and disturbing information being disseminated regarding the lost sites, iconic figurines, and ancient manuscripts and the varying responses to the propositions offered. The financier of the fledgling expedition sips his war...

Forum looks great, Saladin. Nice touch with the photos and map!

My updated sheet will be completed today and I'll post it in the appropriate thread.
