Throckmorton was sitting at home in Gladiolus Towers, resting between adventures. He had been at home for rather too long and was getting a little bored stalking deer and walking in the hills. However, just this morning he had received a letter from an old army friend. Eustace “Wiggy” Wiggins was with His Majesty’s army in Aegypt, guarding the borders from possible Italian incursion. He seemed to have a lead on a rather different sort of problem at the moment. Strange rumours were emerging from down the Nyle river and the natives were in uproar about them. Wiggy was suggesting that the Colonel should come and investigate. It would appear that a great and ancient treasure had been rediscovered and that a previously unknown tribe had emerged from the interior to claim it. Well, this certainly boded well for entertainment. Throckmorton jumped to his feet and rang for his batman.

“Pack the bags, Simpson, I shall be going on a jaunt to Aegypt. And get Grimes to pack the kit and escort it to Southampton. We shall be departing from there in a week or so, there’s a good chap.”

Mission: Find a treasure
Villain: Ancient Civilisation (Rep 5 Villain)


In the interests of testing the Larger than Life system further, I have set up a blog to recount the adventures of Colonel Throckmorton P. Gladiolus and his chums. Follow the rest of the adventure as it develops on http://ctpgxi.blogspot.com/ and wallow in my deathless prose. I plan to write and post each scene over the next few weeks, hopefully to reach a dramatic conclusion at the end, unless our heroes meet a sticky fate along the way.

Cheers,
Ruarigh

Scene 1 has been posted. Scenes 2 and 3 will be uploaded tomorrow, then I shall aim to get one or two scenes a day posted through to the end of the scenario. Hopefully it should actually be a bit like the old pulp serials in that respect. I shall also aim to get photos posted as and when scenes require them or I have the figures needed to set up a shot or two.

Cheers,
Ruarigh
