Call of Cthulhu Session 2: Jungle Training

For Session 2, two of our investigators had other business, leaving Milka on her own. Fortunately, she met another American who is staying in Campeche, a bored Dilettante looking for amusement. They made plans to take a train out to Jackson Elias' camp.

The Roster:

• Dr. Milka- 26 year old medical doctor. She has trouble finding steady employment and so is willing to look outside the standard hospital jobs



Maria's story

• Michael Hunt- 45 year old dilettante in search of diversions. French/Spanish speaker with good drafting/modeling/library skills. Carries a double-barrel shotgun out in the bush

The two began preparations for an expedition into the jungle. They collected their crates of guns, booze, and cigarettes. They bought supplies including backpacks, water, rope, rations. They got a donkey to carry the supplies. With that, the two boarded the slow steam engine out of the city and into the jungle.

After many bumpy hours, with numerous stops and delays, the party reached milepost 126. Maria, a middle-aged woman the party had interacted with on the way, tried to persuade them to return. They bravely continued unloading their gear and the train headed off, leaving them in the dark jungle.

They stumbled around in the dark for a while until finding the path by the river. Once on the path, they found a large Aztec monolith with carvings and hieroglyphs. The carvings showed a demonic entity reaching up from under a pyramid to the people above. The party took a rubbing of the hieroglyphs.

The investigators discovered Jackson's camp. It was destroyed and had been looted. After scavenging some materials, they constructed a tent and bedded down for the night.

The party were soon disturbed by chimes and otherworldly fluting. A gory figure appeared in the Jungle, lit by red lights and holding a skull. He spoke Spanish claiming to be Au Puch and demanding the party leave their goods and flee this jungle. His two skeletal minions lurked in the shadows.

Doctor Milka and Mike replied with some ill-aimed shotgun blasts. Two of the otherworldly intruders fled, while the other fell and was captured by the investigators. He is a drunk villager who works for a gringo named Esteban. Michael paid him to return to his village. He thanked them but warned him to stay away from Esteban. He is violent and mad and will do terrible things if he catches them!
