  • Masks of Nyarlathotep – Interview with sir Edward Gavigan

    London, upstairs the residence of Shirley Greengrass,  February the 28th, England.

    Upon
    hearing the indecent proposition of Awnya, Sir Gavigan repressed a
    smile. He quickly calculate than the nubile young women before him must
    be seventeen yeas old at most. Is this a trap ? Is this  way for her to
    lure him somewhere to discuss matters more privates ? He couldn’t deny
    his desires but he certainly could dominate himself.

    The
    old Crowley is a fool. But a smart one. He did led the Golden dawn to
    its today’s demise, and had access to numerous artifacts he would kill
    for. The three sisters were rumored to have immense powers, and quite
    the large number of followers. An offer from one of them is not
    something to take lightly.

    He reached the glass
    doors of the library, opened it and tip the “dragonflies phylotaxonomia”
    volume. Then he proceed to rotate the furniture to reveal a small
    cabinet, with a secretaire, a comfortable  armchair and wall covered in
    leather-bound books.

    – Please, follow me. Let my old pal rest. He won’t notice, I assure you.

    He
    went inside the small cabinet. He knew about the exotic tastes of the
    old Shirley, and if he remembers correctly… ah, here it is. Indeed,
    the last row of books are all fakes. Inside, no more entomology
    researches, by depiction of mature women, bound in strange apparatus of
    leather and steel. each position more twisted than the other… A
    connoisseur indeed.

    Holding the book high,
    he started flip the pages. This was more to give himself a composure
    than anything. Awnya sat in the armchair, to the amusement of Sir
    Gavigan. If only the old Greengrass were sane enough to realize there is
    a beautiful young woman sitting in the very place he yanked him so much
    !

  • The Left Arm of Sedefkar Simulacrum

    Poissy, January the 23th, France
    Cihat
    tied the rope around his belly an bravely move towards the light at the
    end of the tunnel. After all, what could be worse than the content of
    theses cells ? Carl said the foundations were extremely robust, Choura
    was firmly gripping the rope at the other end and Henry… Well Henry
    did what he could to not run away.
    It was
    gorgeous and eerie. The wall of the final cave was covered with roses,
    faintly glowing of multiples hues. Spiked vines were crawling all
    around, intertwined with several decayed corpses and skeletons. Some
    grew in the skulls orbits, others were blooming inside a ribcage. a
    thick and dark sap were dripping from the vine, covering the floor and
    releasing some kind of fumes or dark vapors which was swirling around
    his feet.

    At the middle of thins hellish
    mural, was glowing the the arm of a statue. They knew they have found
    the left arm of the Simulacrum of Sedefkar.
