The Case of the Mysterious Mummies
The investigators:
Raleigh St. Clair - Veteran and English Teacher.
Tristan Tibbs - Street Magician.
Phil Lyons - Assistant Coroner.
To Fu - Chinese-American bail-bond agent and keen martial artist.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While attending an archaeological exhibition at Miskatonic University, a bizarre attempt by seeming maintenance workers to extract some insect-pupae from inside the mummies results in investigator To Fu having a fungoid/insect embedded in one of his ears. This results in a series of bizarre dreams and physical changes, the solution to which is offered by the mysterious Professor Mandelbrot. The investigators travel by air, sea and land to the site of the dig the mummies came from in Costa Rica, and thence via a gate into the depths of space and a Mi-Go research centre. Instructed by Professor Mandelbrot to retrieve certain brains stored in the Mi-Go archives, the investigators encounter an advanced Mi-Go scientist. The Mi-Go removes the infestation but the characters are forced to flee back to Earth.
Reaching Earth they find themselves imprisoned by Professor Mandelbrot, revealed as a serpent man, and his degenerate cousins. He is planning to use the brains of the various evil genii the investigators were to bring back to command the armies he has poised to use advanced weapons, poisons and armaments to destroy humanity. However the investigators failed to bring any of the brains back, and the Mi-Go counter attack and destroy Professor Mandelbrot's tower.
A long and extremely hazardous trek through the heat of the New Mexico desert sees the investigators nearly perish but they are finally rescued.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outcome:
The Investigators managed to drag several valuable items, treasures and books from the Serpent Man's tower.
To Fu has acquired some strange skills due to his Mi-Go infestation.
The First Investigation
The case of the Overdue Library Book.
The investigators thrown together by fate :-
Raleigh St. Clair - Scarred by the battlefields of the Great War, this English academic is currently working as a high school teacher in Arkham.
Phil Lyons - The highly qualified assistant Medical Examiner for Arkham, immune to scenes of gore and slaughter and with excellent connections to the police and legal fraternity.
Tristan Tibbs - Itinerant street performer and magician eeking a living from Arkham's tough streets.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A mutual acquaintance of the investigators sent them a request for help. A trail of grisly murders and mismatched library books led them around Arkham and to horrific discoveries in the catacombs beneath the staid office of the Nathan Thompson Institute.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outcome: The investigators were unsuccesful in clearing the name of their friend who is now on the run, however they were able (with the use of dynamite) to destroy the corrupt laboratory they discovered. Raleigh St. Clair now suffers from Nyctophobia. Raleigh St. Clair and Phil Lyons both acquired some mythos knowledge.
