Event:1925/07/01 Day in Cairo

No problem acquiring things the next day - 3 gas masks, a fire extinguisher, and moltov cocktails.

Gunter stays in Cairo to organize the permit and tools

Charles, Victor, and Quinn take Saleem head to El Wasta up the Nile to look for Nuri by road. This will likely take all day.

When we arrive, it is a small, quiet, dusty town, takes Saleem about 3 hours to track down the Nuri we are looking for.

A man, right arm and shoulder and the right side of his face have been gouged away, they are healed, but still gruesome to look at. This is Ubaid - Nuri's Son. Victor recognizes this as scars from the attack of a Hunting Horror. Ubaid seems very reluctant to speak with us from his tone of voice. Quinn convinces him we are here to see her and that he is used to speaking with troubled souls.

Inside, we find that Nuri has injuries even worse than her son. She is missing both legs, has a mangled arm, and many claw marks on her face. Upon seeing us she breaks out into an awful and disturbing gurgling and points with her less injured arm towards the corner. Charles heads to the corner. Charles sees a blanket with a red symbol on it, but does not recognize it. He kneels down and sketches the symbol while Quinn and Victor attempt to make her more comfortable. Quinn asks Charles to bring the item in the corner, so Charles pulls off the blanket and sees a pinkish piece of stone which looks to be broken in half and very similar to the other piece of stone we got from Jack Brady.

Charles wraps blanket around the stone, hands Ubaid a dollar and goes outside with his bundle. Quinn and Victor continue trying to speak with [[Ubaid El Wasta|Ubaid] and Nuri, but with the item gone, they clearly want everyone to leave them alone. Quinn is able to get them to admit that they found the stone up north in Dashur before he gives up and leaves as well.

We start heading back towards Cairo and stop off in Dashur to see what the Clive Expedition is up to in the area. We find they have the entire area around the pinkish Bent Pyramid patrolled, and the encampment for the Expedition is in between the main road and the Pyramid itself. After gathering some intel, we get back in the car and continue north towards Cairo.

Meeting up with Gunter, we show him the symbol and the broken rock and he says the symbol is Egyptian for protection from bad luck. He also agrees that the rock and symbol are likely from the Bent Pyramid with its distinctive pinkish stone.

We gather the tools and head towards the passage we found and break down the wall after a few hours.

Behind the wall is a long winding passage. Quinn stops when we reach a rose garden, none of the others see it. Then Gunter starts seeing the walls breathing. We hurry onward, and Charles starts hearing dripping. As we go to tie ourselves together, Victor vanishes for all of us. Then suddenly reappears holding a dagger he claims is his heart. We tie ourselves together and the hallucinations suddenly end, no more breathing, garden, or dripping. And we kinda U-turn and continue following the passage finding ourselves in a tunnel full of fungus covered hieroglyphics. They depict various animal-headed humans and human-limbed animals known as the children of sphinx cavorting around in a fashion more ... spicy ... than usual hieroglyphics.
