Report
After deciding to ask for Dr. Bronson's aid in handling the captured Djinn, Augustus and Montgomery realized they had upcoming Business at the Milton, being invited to the xxx-Sterling wedding reception. The investigators decided to visit the exhibition together on that day.
With all the events going on, Dr. Winters was the only one really invested in the exhibition, but they all managed to meet up at the exhibition to listen to Dr. Bronson's speech at 6pm. Just when the Dr. started to introduce the canopic jar and it's accompanying artifacts the light was shut off and gunshots were fired into the air, causing panic amongst the audience. The surprised guards were knocked down and a woman tried to swipe the canopic jar and merge into the running crowd, but Dr. Bronson interfered causing the jar to break and release its horrid content. Something unspeakable happened to her, captured only by photograph that a press agent shot into the darkness. While Fed and Augustus captured one of the perpetrators, Evelyn and Montgomery found the broken canopic jar next to Dr. Bronson's corpse, which seemed to have been drained of all body fluids.
Horrified by the sight, the investigators decided to leave the scene, and split up after they found that the police had arrived to question all remaining guests. Montgomery and Fred decided to help out Inspector Drummond with their eye witness accounts and pointed out the importance of the camera picture. Dr. Winters questioned another visitor on her own and got pointed to Dr. Bronson's room. Meanwhile, Augustus tried to stay out of all of this by having fun with a bride's maid in his hotel room. Just as he was getting it on, a gelatinous creature attempted to envelop his head and suffocate him in front of his guest and he was barely able to rip it off. Unfortunately, the “thing” managed to escape into the ventilation system.
After meeting up in the lobby, the investigators decided to stick together and search for clues in Dr. Bronson's hotel room (1214). They found the room in a very well arranged state, with most things very neatly sorted and organized. On the desk were some index cards of specific exhibition objects that the Dr. seemed to have been working on, with translations and notes shedding light on Ibnhoteps curse and imprisonment.
They concluded that with the right artifacts and rituals, Ibnhotep could be trapped in a different container
