The Black Pharaoh's cronies should be wary. We may have taken a blow, sure, but we're nowhere near finished yet.
This is gonna be a brief tabletop musing of mine, mostly because I am busy today and don't have much time to talk. However, I think it bears discussion, because it's a crucial consideration for any Keeper, and ultimately, any GM. The question: How the hell do you portray monsters and gods realistically?
I went to bed the other night with a good feeling about tomorrow. I woke up feeling more than a little uneasy...
We started in an ancient city, and ended up camping in the desert beneath the pyramids at Dhashur not far from a Bedouin guide outpost. The Saharan Desert is just full of surprises, isn't it?
We've been doing much better since March, let me tell you - at least remaining in the hospital has done some good for most of us, and I've been able to catch up on my reading as well!
Well, the past few weeks could have all gone better, and I can't imagine how it could possibly get any worse. You know the legend of the Sword of Damocles, always hanging over the king's head by a thread, ready to kill him when it fell? Well, we're all starting to feel like Damocles right about now, and the more we look at that sword above us, the thinner that little thread holding it is starting to look.
The streets of Cairo can be as mean as those of London or New York, if not meaner. Death can come quickly here; we learned that today, though thankfully it wasn't the death of one of our own. And between you and me? I wouldn't trust anyone here, no matter how pious they say they are...
I'm pretty sure I've finally gone mad. Not only have I seen six-eyed dragon-things, reptile birds the size of a mansion, and whining tumor-things with human faces, now I've been seeing ghosts from Ancient Egypt!
They say Egypt holds many secrets, but we think we might have already uncovered a few of them - and we've only been here one day!
I think the happenings at Misr House have gotten to us more that we thought. We've been having the dreams again.
No Investigators were killed in the making of this journal entry. As for Investigators that were harmed, that's another story...
