Mission
Briefing: It's not clear if there really is something
fishy going on, but this could prove worth a try: nearly two
months ago, an archeological expedition reached for the hot
Egyptian desert for some study over some lost tombs. The point
is that during the excavation, the troupe faced several
accidents and one of those resulted fatal for one of their
members; however, the expedition claimed success in its
undertaking and came back to civilization with victory in its
hands. Its members did not enjoy that victory much longer,
since they died one by one under mysterious circumstances. Of
course, this unleashed a series of comments and newspaper
articles, about the Mummy's Curse and everything else, and the
event attracted many tourists to the city where all this
happened, however, in all this noise about the archeologist
deaths, everybody seems to have forgotten that they did
excavate something from the desert ruins, but whatever it was,
it's gone for good along with those men. In fact, all the
records about their work and their expedition could not be
found anywhere and, as a result, the excavation site position
is now lost to the sands, since all those who knew about its
location are now dead. The local authorities are closing their
eyes over the matter, partly due to superstition, partly
because lifting this veil of mystery would greatly diminish
tourist incoming. So your duty is pretty clear: you should go
on the spot and make contact with our local contact, but
instead of concentrating on the investigation over the men's
death, your efforts should revolve around locating the
excavation site and gleaning its secrets, to better understand
if they are really that important to kill all those people...
Or if there really is a Curse upon the ruins.... Once done
that, if you could also solve the murders, it would be just
fine...
