OOC,I'm not sure Cynthia can see the tattoo from the truck, especially as I suspect something unpleasant is about to happen to her, but just in case, here's an Anhropology roll (21)[dice]0[/dice] Hah!

"I agree, burning it's the best thing we can do," says Amy. "Let me just take a look at that tattoo first." She gets down from the truck and examines it with a shudder. "It's East African, and it depicts some sort of evil creature or demon - maybe the same sort of thing he had inside him. There was nothing else of interest in the truck. I guess he didn't write his plans down."

Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
OOC: The truck is/was 200 yards away from the farm. I guess that maybe it makes sense if you've driven it closer now. |
7:20pm - Tuesday 22nd March, 1921
The mask seemed perfectly 'mundane' to Cynthia before she passed it on to Dr. Sánchez. The back of it is certainly shiny enough that it's more likely a mirror than a mask. Especially as it is a little too small and lacks eye holes.
OOC: Cynthia failed her POW roll, so nothing good or bad happened to her. I need POW rolls for Nemesio Sánchez and Michael Anderson (Anderson's will probably only be needed if Sánchez fails). I'll assume that Amy only had a quick look at the mask / mirror, so I don't need a roll for her - it's too confusing for the narrative now if she ends up back at the truck). |

Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
Feeling rather peeved that no one has told her what the items are, Cynthia scuffs her feet in the dirt and walks sulkily back to the ranch, picking up snatches of the conversation as she goes.
"I came up a blank too. East African eh? Weird... I guess we should burn Larkin with the rest of them, just in case. Keep that swanky sword though!"
She nods toward the stables.
"We letting our driver head back to Puno before it gets too late?"

Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
Dr.Sánchez eyes go wide and his pupils shrinks visibly. He suddenly leans over the edge of the truck side and vomits.Raiko wrote:
...the mirror slips out of the doctor's hands and the priceless gold relic clatters onto the floor of the truck.
"A thing! there's a thing inside it! inside the mirror! inside the pyramid! and maggots! it knows im here! oh God almighty! it told me to GAZE INTO THE DARKNESS and BEHOLD its MAJESTY! "
Dr.Sánchez vomits again, and again until nothing more comes out then thick bile.

"It's too bad Professor D'Estaing didn't join us," says Amy. "He would have loved that sword. It should be yours, though, Cynthia. To the victor go the spoils! I agree, the driver should go back to Puno while there's time. We'll stay at the ranch tonight and set out in the morning."

Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
Cynthia grins, taking the sword.
"Well if no one else wants it, I guess there's a certain poetic justice to me taking it, considering how he shanked me back in Lima."
She is about to stash the weapon away when she becomes aware of a commotion at the truck.
"What the-? Dr. Sanchez! Are you okay?"

Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
"I had some sort of vision i think... under the... the... pyramid! something dark and dangerous was luring my mind into it" Dr.Sánchez wipes his mouth and sits down lighting a cigarette. Im better now. I need to rest. With that he fetches his backpack at the truck they arrived, walks into the ain house and lies down on the sofa falling asleepjp1885 wrote:

"So now the thing is sending us visions..." Marcus mutters and shakes his head.
Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
"That must be the thing that the pyramid's wards are containing," says Amy with a shiver. "The Father of Maggots. It can communicate through the mask like some kind of radio!"

Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
"Well forgive me for not tuning in..."
Cynthia gingerly fishes the mask from the floor of the truck, using a handkerchief, just in case. Grim-faced, she grabs a spare sack and stuffs it inside, before placing it back in the back of the vehicle.
"Let's keep this thing at arm's length huh? Well, bang goes any hope that the pyramid is empty. Something's waiting for us - trying to get into our heads. We need to be prepared - more firebombs and such."
She taps her head.
"And we gotta try to concentrate and keep it out of here."
Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
Atauchi finished his rather uneventful walk of the perimeter. As the tracker approached the group, he observed the aftermath of Doctor Sanchez's episode. Something appeared to be wrong with the man, though he could not tell what.
"He okay?" he queried.
"He okay?" he queried.
Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
"So, we cannot use this object, but we must prevent the others to get. Why don't we simply destroy it?"- asks Anderson.
Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
Cynthia answers Atauchi.
"He took a call from the Father of Maggots through something we found in Larkin's truck. I don't think it was a pleasant experience."
She turns to Anderson.
"Honestly? I've no idea. If you think destroying it will help, then be my guest."
She stretches her arms and fights off a yawn.
"I'll go and see how Dr. Sanchez is and take first watch from the big house."
She heads back into the building.

"If it can be used by this Father of Maggots to try and influence it, I think it's better we destroy it. Might have been how Larken fell prey to all this."
Marcus volunteers for second watch.

"I guess we could melt it down, if we can generate enough heat," says Amy. "I'll take last watch."

Re: [IC]Prologue: The Ranch
Atauchi lingered near the group for a few moments longer. He heard the others discussing the destruction of the artifact. What if the object was necessary to complete their task? He wished that the yatiria was with them now. Her advice would be most welcome.
"Unless we sure it right move, maybe not destroy object yet. Maybe we need it." Atauchi recommended.
The tracker then set to the creation of a simple ground-level alarm system utilizing his knowledge of bushcraft and the natural environment. If someone or something were to approach them in the night, he wanted those on watch duty to be aware of it.
