So we find ourselves back in blighty. The Professor was a little crest fallen when we didn’t bring back the scroll, but he took it well bless his whiskers. He was a bit flumoxed when he heard about the frog couple, and them hoisting it though. Says he’ll look in to it.

A while later, we all gets the call and goes to see the Professor, who says there’s this inventor fella, Hollis Greenville, done made this contraption and is looking to sell it – to the highest bidder, seems like. Could we please go check it out, see if it’s up to scratch, so the Prof can buy it up for Queen and Country, before the krauts or somebody else does.

Anyway after a bit of rest and a night dabbing it up with one of Abbess May’s judys, I go take up my invitation.

I have met with a group of individuals at the explorers society.
George Cooper a common man with some talent in tracking and fire arms.
Theodore Montgomery an NCO in her majesty’s Royal Navy has some ability with ships both sea and flying.
Johnney U. Fargo a policeman of sorts with investigation and detection abilities.
Shamus a gentleman from the cartographers society.
We have been gathered together by Professor Albert Bottom of the explorers society to venture forth and explore, we have been asked to retrieve a stolen item so will be gathering our possessions and heading to a ship bound for Egypt where we shall travel to a fort Oublie just inside Libya.
