Session 2 Notes
Recorded September 24, 2023
General Summary
- We started the session exploring the creepy hallway, passing doors labeled in Spanish. Moving down the hall we find an open door that leads into a room that is lined with shelves that are stacked with crates, books, and various papers.
- Nigel calls out and no one responds.
- In the second bay there is a pile of stuff that seems to have fallen from one of the shelves. There is something odd, maybe a hand, that is sticking out from the pile of stuff.
- Among the stuff there is a Mummy, lying among the items, the seems to be wearing more modern clothing.
- Doc comes up to take a look and he notices that there is a large round wound in the center of the chest that appears to be an entry wound. It reminds him of like a lamprey bite. It seems to be a little moist, but the rest of the body is dry and desiccated. It was partially buried under crates and items.
- The mummy has something clutched in their hand, perhaps Crumpled Paper from a notebook.
- patting her down he notices that there is a heavy leather satchel pinned under the body. It looks like it may have been ransacked already.
- Boris sees that there is a partially opened crate that looks like it was pried or forced open. There is something glinting gold that just hangs out of that broken crate.
- The dates on the crate one that was recently and one that was over a hundred years ago.
- Poking out of the crate is a thin Gold Bar, might be a wand or a stick, crafted out of gold.
- Nigel lifts the lid on the crate and finds a 3inch wide, third of an inch thick, piece of worked gold. it appears broken/jagged with strange symbols on it.
- The doctor believes that there is some skin stuck to the gold bar that looks like it has been burnt. It looks like it occurred very recently.
- Nigel believes that it bears a resemblance to the amulet of the Tiwanaku people that Larkin showed us last night.
- While this is all going on, Father Fury hears the sound of a door squeak back from the direction that we came. We move to investigate and find that the western door of the room we were in was now open.
- The Father and Boris rush toward the main floor of the museum and Nigel and Doc stay downstairs to watch over the scene.
- The Father and Boris find that the door at the top of the stairs is now locked, preventing us from getting out. Father begins to bang on the door and after a time someone comes to the door, the receptionist, and Jackson Elias are standing there.
- They didn't see anyone fleeing from the archives.
- Boris goes with Elias to get with the Professor Nemesio Sánchez to contact the authorities. The Professor is lying on the floor in his office, he looks like he is barely conscious, there is something on his face, and appears to be in a lot of pain.
- Elias rushes to get Doctor Musgrove and they go to aid the Professor.
- Boris and the Doctor are able hold the Professor down to check him out. It looks like there is a rancid white waxy substance that is causing a hive like reaction and there is a lingering scent of cinnamon.
- They also see that there is a bulge in his throat that suddenly moves and looks like it travels further down into his chest.
- The Doc continues to watch as something crawls underneath the professors skin.
- He immediately tries to cut the professor open to try and remove the thing.
- This larval creature leaps from the opening the doctor made and lands on the doctors chest. It is able the size of a human fist and looks like it is made from congealed fat. (see Peruvian Larvae)
- A combat begins with this thing and Father Fury starts it off by trying to pull the thing off of the doctor's chest. The thing is too greasy, its goo burns the Father's hands forcing him to release the creature.
- Nigel tries to hit it off the Doctor with a book but he is only able to graze it, releasing a puff of cinnamon scent.
- The larva surges forward up the doctors chest and onto his neck and face, causing some burning, as it tries to get in his mouth.
- Boris draws his sword and strikes with a precision slice across the creature, pulling his punch a little bit, because he was concerned about hitting the doctor. He causes a visible wound and the back end of the creature raises up and screams out like a crying baby.
- Boris loses his grip on his sword in the wake of these cries
- The doctor tries to stab it and the knife seems to bounce off of its fatty hide.
- Nigel runs over and grabs Boris' sword and tosses it closer to him.
- The larva tries to enter the doctor's mouth, but he is able to fend it off.
- Boris scoops up his sword, swipes, and he bisects the creature. The creature falls, even though Boris' hands are shaking, he is able to avoid hitting the doctor as the corpse of the creature oozes in a very gross fashion.
- Nigel rushes to assist Doctor Musgrove in attending to the Professor as Elias rushes into the room. Nigel and the Doctor working together, with a sewing kit provided to them by Elias, are able to stabilize the doctor.
- Father Fury sees an image in the window, he could swear he sees Luis de Mendoza's face in the window before it disappears.
- We ended the session there.
- Questions for next time:
- Find out if Elias was with the professor the the whole time or if there was a chance for him to get away.
- Spot hidden check to see if there are burns on Elias' hands.
- Casually talk to the receptionist to see if she saw Elias go downstairs.

It Belongs in a Museum
There are black zones of shadow close to our daily paths, and now and then some evil soul breaks a passage through. When that happens, the man who knows must strike before reckoning the consequences.~H.P. Lovecraft
