The PCs were asked by Lord Beresford to escort a friend of his, Mr. Gideon, and his new wife to visit her family in Constantinople. The family are involved in a feud, and she feared that if just the two of them went home, her husband would be drawn into it. Lord B offered to ‘sponsor’ the PCs as an escort. They would take the new Orient Express train. Since it looked like growing more dangerous, Christina and Theo announced that she is in a ‘delicate condition’ – about three months pregnant, she is under doctor’s orders to avoid stressful situations. Some hope!

| - The PCs were asked by Lord Beresford to escort a friend of his, Mr. Gideon, and his new wife to visit her family in Constantinople. The family are involved in a feud, and she feared that if just the two of them went home, her husband would be drawn into it. Lord B offered to ‘sponsor’ the PCs as an escort. They would take the new Orient Express train. This led to lots of jokes in the group about zombie attacks – we are very fond of Cheapass Games’ The Great Brain Robbery™, in which zombies rampage through the train eating passengers’ brains and banging on the couplings to break the train up. Little did they know that as soon as they mentioned the Orient Express, I decided to run just that scenario… Things started to go strange on the cab ride through Paris. The PCs noticed that they were being watched by gargoyles on the buildings as they passed. In the Gare de L’Est snatch-thieves attempted to snatch a particular case, which one identified with a wand. This attempt was foiled and the bags recovered. They confronted the Gideons and Mrs Gideon confessed that the family feud is not with another faction of Constantinopolean politicians, but with a Chinese cult Grandfather had fought in Tibet many years ago. In the case the thieves targeted is an artifact he brought back with him – a jade amulet. Since it looked like growing more dangerous, Christina and Theo announced that she is in a ‘delicate condition’ – about three months pregnant, she is under doctor’s orders to avoid stressful situations. Some hope!
