Another information's are gathered during talk with miss Smythe-Forbes. Thandoor Sigh attacks again, but this time Mike is seeing him. So both heroes went to attacker house and burn this place to the ground.

31.10.2017 - Day after above events, Mike meets with doctor Starret,  Montogomery and Bumpington. The day is ending with meeting Nelson and obtaining information that Jack "Brass" Brady is still alive! After this, they decide firstly to went in couple of days inland, see the place of massacre of Carlyle Expedition and the Mountain of the Black Wind.

11.11.2017 - Another day starts with breakfast with Croydon, then meeting Kenyatta. From there on it is only  road to village and another meeting, this time with Okum and old Bundari. M'weru is the most interesting topic in whole conversation. Then they go back to Nairobi, to plan another step.

19.11.2017 - After taking with them Kenyatta, Nelson, Okum and Bundari (with gifts from him!), they went to Mountain of the Black Wind, where strange and blasphemous rites are being celebrated. The son of Nyarlathotep is born. Great scene with lots of sanity loss, but Mike shoots M'weru, create a chaos in Nyarlathotep temple, then escapes. This is Pyrrus victory. His last friend is insane and need to be send out to NY, Okum is dead and Kenyatta is shaken. The Black Wind was release on African continent. Journey back to home is long and dangerous...

As always in first days in new place, hero is gathering information, building momentum for the last act. End event is even bigger then under the pyramids, more dangerous, but with help of Bundari, pulp rules and lot of burning luck is doable for one player. Till next time...

MoN - day (13)

As always spoilers below...

08.10.2017 - Mike takes off from Port Said to Mombasa. He have time to recover his sanity and health during journey. In Mombasa he burns down the Sigh storage room. He knew he is being watched.

15.10.2017 - Mike goes to Nairobi. On the train he is attacked by two Fire Vampires. He sees who is commanding them. So he knew that he will be haunted in Nairobi.

After the events in Cairo, journey by sea is relaxing and nice. Mike restores some sanity, works his swimming skill. Then in Mombasa he is only 24 hours and went to Nairobi. So this part is rather slow burn and it helps in showing change of scenery and mentality in surrounding world. Nice change of pace. Till next time...

As always spoilers below...

03.10.2017 - End game in Cairo. So firstly Mike meets Janvillen. This side quest is very little and very nice. So there was tension for couple of moments, but even our Hero was under the spell of Bast pristess. Then they went to Dhashur and met Nyarlathotep in his Black Pharaoh avatar. Another questions where raised. But some answers where give to them. Then he went to the other piramid and finds one part of Eye of Light and Darkness! After this event, when another of Mike's friends went insane, he decide to end his stay in Cairo.

For me this is the crown jewel of Masks of Nyarlathotep. Best chapter in whole history. Others are fun too, but this is the best. So after leaving Cairo, nothing will be the same...

MoN - day (11)

As always spoilers below...

19.09.2017 - Mike is learning from good doctor Ali Cafour one spel. Barier of Naach-Titha. Sanity is lost, Mythos knowledge is gained.

20.09.2017 - Nigel Wassif found Warren Bessart. Durring the meting Bessart talks about his work with Clive Expedition. He wants help with his problems, so Mike give him a chance. One chance.

24.09.2017 - The ritual under the Sphinx. Magick, Molotov Coctails, Thompson, Nitocris and lots of fight. Nigel is with our heroes. He reveal that he is from MI6 and call for help English Expeditons Corps. Big battle under the Pyramids and Sphinx.

This part of Cairo chapter is much more action oriented. For everyone, who was bored with investigation, now is the time to make a diffrence. Of course this is pulp game, so every time Mike and his friends are just inch before death. Atmosphere of alienation beneath Sphinx, brutal fight with lots of cultist and more information for the great picture. Everything is here.
Till next time!

MoN - day 10

As always spoilers below...

28.08.2017 - So Mike and his two friends end up in Cairo. First they were overwhelm by language barier, but quickly find translator. Of course it was a trap. Nothing that good shoot from Mauser cannot fix. Or maybe two. First contact in the city is Nigel Wassif.

31.08.2017 - Meet up with Nigel and then with Faraz. Many new clues have to be verified and checked. So they got lot to do this time. Thanks to mister Wassif they got new guide. 

03.09.2017 - Another contact with Faraz. This time, they speak little longer. Another trope goes to doctor Ali Kafour. In the museum they finally have some information's about bigger picture of this whole case. Great N in his many aspects. As for Pulp, there is no need to be gentle. Loss of sanity, gaining Cthulhu Mythos skill and couple of questions are finally answered.

17.09.2017 - Another meet up, this time with Omar Shaktii ends in great battle in the desert. Only by means of luck everybody are safe and sound. But this leads to frontal attacks from Cult of Dark Pharaoh. Their hotel rooms are ramshackle, but most of precious things are well hidden.

Yes. Egypt or should I say Cairo chapter is the best in the whole campaign. Of course if we talking about the old edition. But for me and my player this was so far most demanding but satisfying pice of this story. Lots of detective work in the first part, but later there is only action and horror. Love it! Till next time!
