It all started as a routine excavation in Palestine. But soon you find yourself racing across the desert on a mission to track down a legendary ancient relic before the Nazis can get their hands on it. And that's just the beginning. The Third Reich is mobilizing across the world in search of mysterious ancient Hallows of Power, objects that could put unimaginable supernatural forces into the hands of the armies of darkness. And the only thing standing in their way is you.
Put on the worn boots of a 1930s braggart archaeologist and prepare for a wild journey around the world, encountering adventure, romance and mystery at every step. Do you have what it takes to locate the relics, defeat your enemies and save the world from a thousand years of darkness?

"Well, whether this breastplate does or does not have supernatural powers, we absolutely cannot allow it to pass into the hands of the Nazis," says Esme. "The High Priest's breastplate is a crucial relic of the history of the Jewish people. Letting the Nazis obtain it would be unthinkable. We must get moving."


With that, Esme is on her feet, a hurricane of energy and activity.


"Very well, here is what we need to do. We must organize an expedition to the desert, east of the Dead Sea. We will need camels, rations, camping supplies, and a guide. I have friends among the Bedouin: leave it all to me, but it will take a couple of days. In the meantime, you must lay low. We will arrange for a suite for you in this hotel. But remember, half of the Wehrmacht seems to be in Jerusalem, and they're all looking for you, both of you. So whatever you do, try not to draw attention to yourselves. Abdul, arrange the suite. I will go visit the Bedouin."


And with that she is gone, imperious and magnificent and clearly in her element.


You have a couple of days to kill before the expedition will be ready to depart. How do you spend the first day?
