This game was played as a GM'd Pulp Alley scenario, pitting Elaine and her ragtag league against the traps and monsters within the Tomb of Nehab…


Left for Dead, a Pulp Alley scenario

In an effort to free her sister from the clutches of the evil Sheik Al-Jabarti, Elaine has agreed to retrieve the Lion Necklace from King Nehab's Tomb. Elaine is accompanied by her faithful servant Nestor and a handful of Sheik Al-Jabarti's surly men.


Elaine reads the ancient hieroglyphs and warns her companions, "Stay behind me if you value your life."…


Scoffing, one of the desert raiders moves ahead, only to trigger a deadly fire trap…


Elaine disarms the trap, and the rest fall in close behind her…


The long hall, it seems safe. "Why so many bones?" one of the raiders whispers…


Rushing from the bone pile, giant bloodsucking scurry towards a raider…

The raider is quickly overwhelmed by the ravenous ticks…


Elaine, Nestor, and the last raider stand their ground and dispatch the tick swarm…


"This is it, the necklace is close." Elaine scans the room for dangers…


Flames blast from the statue and Elaine escapes without injury. Nestor decides it will be safer to stay near the entrance…


Another swarms of giant ticks rush from the darkness, drawn by the scent of fresh blood…


Elaine leaps to help Nestor and the tick swarm is defeated with only the last raider suffering a serious injury…


Nestor's toothless grin quickly fades as he sees the mummy of Nehab beginning to move…

The raider fires his rifle as Nehab closes in, but he is no match for the mummy's powers…

Elaine tries to hold back Nehab, giving Nestor time to break the mummy's spell…


The raider and Elaine try to distract the mummy of Nehab but it is only a matter of time before both of bloodied and bruised…


Finally, Nestor breaks the spell, but it is too late for Elaine – and the raider collects the necklace…


"Follow me not old fool! Or you'll be as dead as your brave mistress." the raider threatens Nestor before disappearing into the darkness with the Lion Necklace of Nehab…


Old faithful Nestor kneels beside his unconscious mistress and quickly tends to the most serious of her wounds.
"Dead? I think not so much. And I think it is Sheik Al-Jabarti who will regret that Elaine was left for dead."

More to come!

Was this meant to be a solo scenario?

Thanks everyone. It was a fun scenario even though Elaine didn't escape.

@ Shadow – Yes, this scenario was designed to be played solo.


Have fun,

Please pursue the despicable bastard and punish his act of perfidy (deliberate breach of faith or trust) fully!

We've been using this set for a bunch of scenarios this week, so I'm sure you'll see more of it soon.

HAVE FUN

This was a great read and looks like it was a blast. I've been meaning to check out Pulp Alley for a while.

Also, you guys always have awesome terrain. I covet your scenery!

Who makes the bone piles?

@ Piper -- I can't remember who makes those skull piles. Maybe Scotia Grendel?… Maybe not?
