Party staying at the
Casino Hotel on the outskirts of Cairo
June 17th (Thursday) tomb raid of Seraphis's Mummy and raid on Serpent-Men ceremony.
Using the information given them by Dealacourt, the party headed up river to the hidden tomb of Seraphis, priestes/healer wife of
Imhotep.
The tomb was hidden in the cliff face above the village of Saqqara where the cult was based. Sneaking down the cliff, the party enetered the tomb where they found the guardian, undead servants protecting the sarchophagus. Anya prepared candles to take the spirits of the guardians whilst Harry and Sinclair took on the first 2 zombies. In the ruckus, Sinclair was strangles by one of them and was rescued by Harry chopping off the arms and then prising away the fingers. The other zombie was hacked up by George and Marco using whip and hockey stick.
The last guardian was a zombie snake that Lyris captivated with flute.
Opening the blood stained sarchopagus , they found the mummy of Seraphis which Anya could commune with. The spell holding here was wearing thin hence the blood used to keep her from passing on. They discovered her reason for sealing herself in her tomb (final battle at the Gate of the Mountains of the Moon due at the forging). Anya created a new weave to unlock Seraphis if Delacourt tried to interrogate her.
The spirit of seraphis enterd Lyris and healed Harry and gave Marco amnesia to assist his explanation to Delacourt.
Getting the mummy out provided some entertainment but the skill of the ladies prevented a disaster.
Went back to Delacourt who was very very pleased with Marco's success...
Trip down to Cairo catacombs.
