Mirror, Yard, Penhew, Foulness
Upstairs in the Soho spice shop, the investigators decide to experiment with the mirror and vials of stuff that they've acquired. They pour the contents of both a red liquid vial onto the mirror and the black powder. Nothing seems to happen. Sullie starts concentrating on the idea of Oscar, and suddenly the mirror glows where the red liquid was poured, and Oscar is visible in the mirror, hiding in the jungle. Sullie stops before anything weird happens. The black powder seems to have done nothing, so they return it to its vial. (There are 14 vials of red liquid, 8 black powder).
Back at the hotel, the gang meets someone new: Adrian Linpool, a former Scotland Yard man who now works as a private investigator, and he seems to know a lot about what is going on. He has been tracking Gavigan and says that: 1) Gavigan is indeed evil; 2) the cult of the Black Pharaoh actually worships a horrifying, powerful outer-god known as Nyarlathotep. He offers to come with the group and help.
Pyle visits Barrington at Scotland Yard and updates him, asking about this Adrian Linpool. Barrington confirms that Adrian was a great detective, but saw some very disturbing things that made him decide to take a leave from the Yard and go do some mental rehab and also some investigating.
Mickey and Sullie visit Oxford U to discover that there are no birth records for Edward Gavigan, and that his name appears for centuries back in the record books. On their way out they are attacked by three men with weird clubs--each having a large nail sticking out of it. They kill the men and decide that these clubs must be causing dead bodies to be found with a hole in the heart.
Babe and a few others visit the Penhew Foundation once more and find nothing much in the front rooms. They discover a back room with a sarcophagus in it.
The group finally decides to make their way to Gavigan's country estate, which is located on an island in Essex, in the east of England--Foulness Island.
Some the group (Suzie, Mickey, Babe, Pancho, & Bruce) are going to try to enter through the front gate. The rest (Adrian, Raju, Sullie, and Pyle) rent a boat and approach the island on the water, from the north.
