Jack sat on a rich white lounge and admired Saheed's house. It was very large, much larger than what Jack could ever afford. It had a variety of Egyptian goods and trinkets, a parrot sat patiently in a cage. Saheed sat down on the lounge opposite Jack and looked at him curiously.
"I understand you where a friend of Dr Spencer?"
"Yes I know the Doctor, what do you mean where a friend?"
"Than it may shock you to learn that the earlier today I and some of the others that came to the Museum yesterday found the remains of two bodies, one of them was the security guard, the other looks like it may have been Dr Spencer."
"The Doctor is dead?"
"The body was burnt and undisguisable, however it had the keys to the Doctors office on it, at the moment we have no idea where the Doctor is, we can only assume that the remains we found belong to the Doctor. I have to ask for you to come with me back to the Museum."

No offence because I'm not sure if it was in a spoiler or not, but Travis (Toe) has the crowbar. Plus, were you just sleeping with the corpses?!Pie said:

"Of course. This has come as a sudden shock. I know I sisn't have a stronger bond as some of you did, but he was still a very good man."
Saheed just grabs his coat and bag and begins to leave with Jack.

Recap of events:
-Upon entering the Museum, you notice that it is bare of life.
-Serching the basement, the group find A charred corpse with Hubert's keys and the guard from the night before impaled to the wall with a bronze sword.
-After a bit of research on the burnt corpse, no chemicals were used to light it up and no other burn marks found in the room at all.
-An open box, crowbar and dead cat lie in the basement as well.
-Using the keys, the investigators opened up Hubert's office where upon they found a large cult symbol on the wall.
-Opening the safe they found a cashe of guns, money and a map to Memnon in preperation for the trip.
-A certain item was found on Hubert's desk as well as some papers recording the contents of that box.
-Serching the library you also found an interesting book.
Jack walked towards a busy Street with Saheed. He stood on a corner and looked for a Taxi to take them back to the museum. He took out the small matchbox and showed it to Sahhed.
"What can you tell me about this?"
"What can you tell me about this?"
Jacob, having finished trying to decipher the symbol, turned and saw Travis behind him in the office.
"Okay, forgetting the impossible corpse downstairs for now - after all, if we spread around that his death seems physically impossible people are bound to start going hysterical, so let's concentrate on what we DO have. Is this where you found the notes? Any way of telling what might have been taken? Someone seemed pretty desperate to get into that box after all, might give us an idea as to why this is happening. Also, what do you think of Memnon, Hubert's project? He may have just gone on to there after all, providing the body downstairs isn't his...I'm not saying we blindly run into an unknown temple, but it could be a future move and we should probably think about it."

anything else I can gleam from it? If so I'll edit in another kind of roll, but I doubt it anyways, again, it's me not wanting my hand help against not wanting to clog up the RP
Purps: Hm, I was hoping to find some more regular things, like the doctor's notes or books with bookmarks still in them. But, I've DMed, I know what it's like when people look for things that aren't there, so I'll... er... go into the library!
Selena sketched the cult symbol into her notebook and frowned at the room. Still keeping her eyes peeled she stepped out of Hubert's office back into the library. Eyebrows lowered in determination, she looked for anything that had been touched recently or was of an occult nature.
Rolled a 36 for Library Use, breezing under 75.

Saheed studied the matchbox. "Hmm, it's a club down the road. It's run by a british man named, Peter, or Paul. I can't recall. I think he meet up with Hubert a little while ago about something. Though I don't remember what it was about."
Jack saw a taxi driving down the street. Jack hailed it and opened the door for Saheed to get in and gave him enough money for the taxi fare.
"Take this money and go to the Museum, I'm going to visit that Club and see what Paul, or Peter or whoever was doing with the Doctor."
Saheed said something in a language that Jack didn't understand and the Taxi speed off. Jack walked down the street and was soon standing in front of the "Uptown beat". He opens the door and walks in..."

OOC: Holy moly, I fell abit behind.
Aaron grew tired of waiting for Dr. Spencer, standing up from his seat he headed for the main door, giving a nod and smile to the receptionist behind the desk. The cold air took him abit by surprise as he exited the Embassy, he'd forgotten that deserts could get quite freezing at night. Throwing on his leather jacket he made his way down the streets toward the museum. The streets were nearly deserted, save for the occisonal vagabond or sketchy looking character.
Ariving at the museum Aaron suddeny began to get a feeling in his gut, he couldn't rationalize it. All the hairs on the back of his neck began to stand on end and every fibre of his body just wanted to run away and not look back, but he fought through it. He opened the door and entered the main hall.
"Hello! Is anyone here? Doctor Spencer?" He yelled out, his voice echoing through the halls.

You find a book tucked away at the back of the shelves. Flipping through the pages it looks to have been hastely scribbled in. It looks to be in a language of Europiean decent. French maybe?
You arrive at the club but it looks to have been shut up for the day. It opens around 6 according to a sign. Before you knock on the door, you can hear a few muffled voices from inside. Make a listen roll please
"The messanger has encountered a problem. He contacted me last night." "What should we do about it?" "Perhaps nothing... for now. Let's hope they don't leave. If they do, that will be a different story."
The men had already bustled off, leaving her to think.
Charred corpses? Could there be a link already?
Or could they be after her already.
Drawing in a deep breath, she goes to do what she should have done last night. Security. Perhaps there will be clues left.
The first clue should be in the animals, Rats and Cats run through everything in Cairo. If there are none around, then something big happened.
The corpses weren't of much use to her, so she avoided them. You don't tread on a Policeman's patch if you can truly help it.
-After a bit of research on the burnt corpse, no chemicals were used to light it up and no other burn marks found in the room at all.
She copies down the Occult symbol on the wall, to use for questioning later.
Guns, Money and a map. This proved what she feared all along. She starts to make arrangements to get some jeeps ready for the rest of the group.
Apart from that, she's going over the museum with a fine tooth comb.
OOC: Sorry, only just awoke and going almost straight out so have to cram.

Jack assumed that they are Jack and his new friends. Who is the messanger, and what was his problem, would leaving the museum be bad for these people, would it be better for Jack to sat at the museum. In his line of work people that owned clubs, especially by the name of "the uptown beat", were not friendly people and usually where behind something illegal. He hadn't heard enough to understand what was going on.
He continues to listen...
He continues to listen...
Just to remind folkel, a boat is comming in two days not counting today to take you upstream to Memnon as the orginal plan set up by Hubert. So regaurdless what you do, a boat will be waiting there. You don't have to take it either.
Anyway, some things seem confusing, what with everyone finding out different things and spoiler boxes through the roof, but you're all doing a great job so far. It's a bit difficult with a new system as well, so feel free to ask anything you don't understand.

They seemed to have walked off. The last thing you hear is a savage meow from a cat and a wild hiss. A cat bolts from the side of the building.
OOC:I'm using spoiler boxes because I'm doing things away from the group. Do we need to do this or is that just stupid?
He tried to sneak back into the museum (OOC:roll of 64, fail) but the door creaked loudly and the people standing in the main hall all turned and looked at him.
Jack pulls his head up from the door and walks down the street at a slow pace. These men had something to do with Dr Spencer and Dr Spencer had something to do with the group. There was no real proof that these men had something to do with the the two bodies but Jack's gut instinct told them that they must be in some way responsible. This more than just coincidence.
Jack hailed a taxi and took a trip back to the Museum.

It's good. Certain things people shouldn't know to keep the game mysterious. It might be a tad confusing for some people to keep up, but asking the other investigators, they should make up their own.Fire Daemon said:
My character wasn't in the rooms that the others were in during all that mess before, and the doors are locked. Would locksmith come into play to unlock those doors?
If so, then I need to roll for SAN to tell if he freaks out or not at the corpses. Correct?

OOC:I have the store room keys but I'm guessing they are unlocked. If you see corpses, SAN roll.
