It’s 1921. An eccentric nutter is starting an expedition to a pyramid full of GOLD, and he wants us to help. What could possibly go wrong?

Session 01 - Very Very Carefully Examining Something Else: Two toffs and a pilot go to Bolivia. This is sure to end well.

Session 02 - Better Out Than In: Our new allies are surprised at how calmly we take things. So are we.

Session 03 - Happy Birthday: We take a flight, then decide that it’s time to confront the obvious bad guy. It doesn’t go entirely as planned.

Session 04 - An Englishman’s Crack Pipe Is His Castle: We set off to deal with the scourge of the local countryside. Do we seek fame? No! Fortune? Well, maybe a bit.

Session 05 - We’re Well Beyond Eyeballs: We delve into the mysteries of the pyramid, and vow to go on a low-fat diet when we get home.

This concludes The Curse of the Kharisiri, but we may continue with the greater adventure at some point…

Toff? How dare you, Sir! I am but a humble grafting photographer, your honour.

That is a great start. No messing about at the Orne Library or the Bibliotheque Nationale. Just straight into trouble. Is it an original scenario, @Lordof1?

No, it’s published, I’ll reveal more at the end…

Thank you for another session of terror and accents. Perhaps I’ve watched Casablanca too recently but I thought I heard Peter Lorrie’s influence at one point.

Pishtaco and Viracocha are neat legends. I appreciate your introducing them. One weird bit I noted reading around is that Virachoa is also Con-Tici. Which became Kon-Tiki for Thor Heyerdal’s expedition. The Kon-Tiki book fascinated me as a child and contributes to my enjoyment of expedition mythos adventures like this.

Looking forward to the rest.

No need to be paranoid, Nick.

Although obviously: yes.

The statement does suggest, y’know, a plan.

#11

We were expecting a thing to happen, at which point there was a thing we were going to do. That was the plan. The thing didn’t happen…

Something something oranges something.

There may be a pause in uploads next week - I’ll be away at Essen.

They didn’t think much of the decor. Or the corpses.
