Relics

JADE SCEPTER OF TJAK (1 ) - "Carter sent me an image of this Scepter when he unearthed it. Now I find it just lying in the open? Did he do this on purpose?"

KINARI RAIN DRUM (3 ) - "Everything about this jungle seems intent on killing me. More than your average jungle."

MEED YANTRA KNIFE (4 ) - "Three of these were found arranged in a cluster, right in the open. Likely left as a distress signal; I'm on the right track."

NAGA'S EYE (5 ) - "Oddly, I think these reptilian people may be the xenological source of the legendary naga of Cambodia."

NOK THET MASK (6 ) - "Legend says that the Naga King's daughter married an Indian Brahmana named Kaundinya. From their union sprang the people of this region."

PELESIT URN (7 ) - "My Malay is pretty rusty, but Pelesit is some form of demon. I remember something about blood sacrifices in exchange for great power."

TYRANNOSAURUS REX SKULL (8 ) - "From what I can tell the ghastly markings on this skull imply its use in dark rituals. Carter was right. There's something extremely grim behind all this!"

BAJANG CHARM (10 ) - "A Bajang is more Malaysian spirit mythology. But why here? What was Carter on to?"

BRONZE ASTROLABE (12 ) - "I found some of Carter's tools. He would never abandon them. This isn't good."

CARVED SKULL (14 ) - "My presence is definitely stirring up something. I can only guess Carter found more than he bargained for. He can handle himself, so this worries me."

DEVATAS FLASK (16 ) - "More Southeast Asian deity references. I've lost Carter's trail, and these relics are my only lead now."

DRAGON'S TOOTH (17 ) - "The carvings I've seen are unusual for this area. Carter stumbled into something long hidden, and it wants to keep it that way!"

GILDED CHINTHE (18 ) - "The lizard men guarding this place attack on sight. Now they are setting traps for me!"

GOLDEN TRIDENT (19 ) - "More references to asuras. I know in Hinduism these are a group of deities, and not the good kind, if I remember correctly."

HANTU PROTECTION BELL (20 ) - "Time to kick this up a notch and find Carter's trail again. He's going to owe me big time. As usual."

RAHU'S PEAL (22 ) - "In Hindu lore, Rahu is a severed head of an asura that swallows the sun causing eclipses. Fascinating, but does it connect?"

RITUAL CONCH (23 ) - "This piece is a ritual conch. The priests would sound it at dawn to pull the sun out of the shadows. There's a pattern to all this somewhere."

SILVER MONKEY PAW (25 ) - "Honestly, who puts pendulum traps in the jungle? And now I'm hearing about some connection to Babylonian mythology?"

SILVER NECKLACE (26 ) - "It's clear Carter's been taken, and based on what I'm seeing, I need to get to the Sahara desert to pick up his trail again fast."

SUN QUEEN CROWN (27 ) - "This relic is Babylonian, it shouldn't be here at all! I'm starting to think whatever is going on isn't just local."

BASMU ICON (6 ) - "Basmu the Venomous, one of the eleven great god-beasts. These are associated with ancient Babylonian Magic."

BULL'S HEAD RHYTON (7 ) - "I know Carter came across many of these in his time in Crete. But I still have no real clue what it means."

AMULET OF ZARPANIT (8 ) - "More creation mythology, this time Babylonian. Still no clue how this connects to what I found in the jungle."

CYLINDER SEAL OF ISIMUD (9 ) - "Again the reference to Rahu turns up. but in dark cultish whisperings. I feel a heavy and dark presence here."

DAGGER OF TISHPAK (10 ) - "These tombs are not just ruins, they are full of endless traps. A lot of effort went into protecting what's going on here."

GNOSTIC DIAL (11 ) - "Are these creatures the result of Rahu's power? Or are they what gives rise to it?"

HELM OF SRVARA (12 ) - "Now I'm fighting giant Persian mythological beasts?"

DAEVA SCIMITAR (14 ) - "Tons, literally, of slain warrior golem debris. I can only assume Carter's handiwork. But why can't I find him?"

PAIRIKA CROWN (16 ) - "This was dug up by these stone warrior types before I took it from them. They are intent on getting it back."

LAMASSU GUARDIAN (18 ) - "Finally a brief fragmented message from Carter on my sat-phone. All I could gather is a sense of the danger he's in; that we're all in."

LAPIS GORGET (20 ) - "It's pretty clear now these relics are the key to something. I'm not the only one hunting them, but for different reasons."

GOLD EMBLEM OF UTU (22 ) - "This was left right in the open. A Sumerian Sun deity. A lot of this relates to the sun. I'm thinking this is more than coincidence."

OIL LAMP OF MALIQA (24 ) - "We've moved way beyond Myth. Given what I've witnessed here, Rahu is a real being of some sort."

WAR MASK OF AZAL (26 ) - "The question is, what is Rahu after? And why now? There is more going on than meets the eye."

UTUKKU PLAQUE (28 ) - "I need to make sure I've gotten every relic from this place before I go. I can't afford to miss the one we need!"

RABISU SCROLL (30 ) - "This ancient scroll makes one thing clear: these artifacts are from ancient heroes working against the serpent Rahu."

SIMURGH SHIELD (32 ) - "Another brief message from Carter confirming much of what I discovered. He's way ahead of me on the details, though."

UR-UTA KINGSHEAD (34 ) - "I'm hearing that if some of these key relics are brought together they might be able to contain Rahu somehow."

URVAN VESSEL (36 ) - "Carter seems to have left the region now, heading to somewhere in the Himalayas, I think. I'll need to get after him."

BUST OF RAKUSH (38 ) - "Stone warriors, far more worrying than lizard men. What is it they are digging up in these ruins?"

PRAYER WHEEL (7 ) - "Prayer wheels, most of them recently smashed. Ascendant ancient gods. There must be a connection."

YETI FOOTPRINT CAST (8 ) - "Oh, great. More legends come to life. This footprint has got to be a Yeti."

MASK OF THE ONI (9 ) - "Ritualistic masks, this one of the Oni. Another god-beast of Asian origin. I'm not sure I'm looking forward to this."

LUCK DRAGON HEAD (10 ) - "Finally something positive. Relics relating to the Luck Dragon. I could use some luck."

LUCK DRAGON TAIL (11 ) - "Excellent, more Luck Dragon. I have to find the rest. Maybe they are part of the solution."

LUCK DRAGON CLAW (12 ) - "Ah, the final bit. I have a full Luck Dragon now. Our enemies seem more desperate, if it's related."

MALA PRAYER BEADS (14 ) - "The monks seem to have vanished here and left these behind in haste."

EMERALD DRAGON (16 ) - "A hasty note from Carter was attached to this relic. I was right. We have to pull these relics together somehow to contain Rahu."

JEWELED BOTTLE (18 ) - "A note in a bottle. Nice. Carter is looking for the Bell of Enlightenment. I have to help find it."

GILDED KUKRI BLADE (20 ) - "A traditional Nepalese blade. Some of these were used in combat recently. Unsuccessfully, it seems."

KEY OF ARCANE KNOWLEDGE (22 ) - "The legend of Rahu is about swallowing the sun, but only temporarily. It's normally just a myth to explain eclipses, but what we're seeing here is actually dangerous."

AMBER PHOENIX (24 ) - "The Oni and Rahu, have they joined forces? Rahu's influence is weak, but the Oni walks amongst us now."

DORJE OF ENLIGHTENMENT (26 ) - "Seems Rahu merely is the vanguard of these ancient spirits. To stop the others, I need to stop him."

GYALING HORN (28 ) - "Blowing this horn sent some of Rahu's minions scurrying. These relics are definitely his Achilles heel."

BRONZE MAHAKALA INCENSE BURNER (30 ) - "Carter has been leaving these burners all over the place. He's clearly attempting some sort of ancient cleansing ritual."

PEARL WINTER LION CHARM (32 ) - "Even as many of the lesser threats have fallen back, the Oni and his legion are becoming stronger."

BELL OF ENLIGHTENMENT (34 ) - "The Bell of Enlightenment! I struck it three times, and the roar of the Oni was deafening even at this distance."

CEREMONIAL SCEPTER (36 ) - "This must be the relic Rahu feared most. Now that I have it, I'm being left alone by all but the most fearsome of his army."

AQUAMARINE KIRIN (38 ) - "I've seen it only in the distance, but a great Kirin has appeared. It is not after us, but rather the Oni itself!"

AMULET OF SEEING (40 ) - "It seems the Oni and Rahu are contained, for now. The Amulet shows me Carter still on the move, but I cannot see where. This adventure may not be over."
