Brian arrives - after Pinky had claimed another bowl of food from the cooks (they seem sweet on her) - to find the drawing complete and his companions studying the design. He can see that it is a map of the Middle East through to India albeit with slight differences from the geography he learned of on his Earth; that Istanbul is still Constantinople is a surprise. Why they didn't change it I can't say. I guess they liked it better that way.
[OOC: Sorry if that song is now stuck in your head. If I have to suffer then you should too!]

"Maybe Lady Vada want's to finish what he started?"
He hands the design card back to Cevap, "Thank you."
Hammett then goes back to studying the map and the design that made it. He looks at the others, "I'm not sure what this all means, but it can't be a coincidence. I guess we'll only know once I place my hand on the one on the map and see if this is an elaborate trap or some sort of gateway?"

[[OOC: let me know if the following is okay. If not, I'll edit and change.]]
Hammett glances around the room, there was a small chest off in a dark corner that he hadn't noticed until now. He goes over to it, willing for what he wants to be inside. He opens it up and reaches inside, pulling out both his knife and original trump deck that had been lost out in shadow awhile back.
Feeling safer and more capable if and when the next fight broke out, he goes back to the design.
"Okay, I'm going to put my hand there and see what happens. If you all want to join hands and hold on to me, there is a chance that we might all be transported to where ever it shows. Unfortunately, it might also be a trap, and if so, we might all be effected by it. The other option is to let me do it myself, and if it does take me somewhere I can trump Pinky here and bring you all through to me. But that is only if I am able. If I suddenly appear next to Lady Vada or a possessed Dorian, I might be to much trouble to bring you through to me."
He waits to get a consensus before touching the design.

#s://i~ibb~co/6cQWm9m/Shelly~jpg The others are oddly silent. "Looks dangerous, Hammett. You go first," Shelly says.

As Hammett touches the design he feels his hand bind to the stone, feels his essence drain into the artwork, feels his blood, yet not his blood, pour from his fingertips onto the stone. Rivulets of not-blood flow in unnoticed cracks and channels in the stone, spread out like a ruby web from the depiction of Cairo across the floor to northern India and the Himalayan mountains, converge in north-west Nepal.
His hand is released from the stone and he feels an itching on his arms. Looking at the flesh under his sleeves reveals a copy of the map branded on his left wrist, and the longitude and latitude of the location in Nepal burnt the length of his right wrist.
"Yep, I was right," Shelly deadpans.

"Son of a--!" Hammett pulls his hand away from the design and staggers back a couple of steps. Once the pain subsides he looks at the new brands on his wrists.
"What the hell!" The map burned into his left wrist is kind of cool. He could work with that, but the numbers on his right wrist would be an annoying keepsake of this whole misadventure.
He takes a couple of deep breaths and settles himself, okay what does this mean?
He studies them, at the same time allowing the others to have a detailed look as well. Does he feel any different with them? Do they seem to contain any power that his Psych or eye can detect?

Hammett doesn't feel any sudden rush of new power. But he does seem to be more sure of which direction is north even while in this windowless basement.
The numbers are coordinates and do indicate a place somewhere in the Himalayas.

Ooc: I got my east and west backwards

Hammett looks to Lorelei, "With this map and these coordinates can you make a teleportation spell that will take us to this exact spot?"

Ooc: a teleport could get the group to those coordinates but the correct altitude might be a problem. Check good stuff before attempting the jump.

[OOC: Eric has been pretty busy, so he might not be around much these days. If we don't hear from him the next half-day or so and you two want to use a spell, then I'll have to make an executive decision. Unfortunately, I am neither an executive nor decisive!]
