They’re out of their element, albeit in the extreme given the movie’s plot. If I’m calling down a meteor from the heavens, I want it to land in an inferno of fire and cause aggravated damage to those unfortunate enough to get hit by my divine wrath (hellooo Secrets Ripped from the Skies!). The ultimate affliction doesn’t ensue until the Americans discover the Book of the Dead, which Evelyn swipes and reads from, accidentally awakening Imhotep, the mummy. Fleeing the monster after he attacks and kills Cajun Joe, she comes to Betty's tent seeking refuge. Now in 2E, the power also grants 9-again on any rolls that use tools – including an attack that uses a weapon or a drive roll with a vehicle. Musings on roleplay, writing, and running games. The Mummy echoes comedic humor of the past in its implementation of slapstick humor. And it works! He takes his time reading through it, oblivious to the battle around him, which makes it all the more comical. The special effects are memorable, particularly on Imhotep. In a film with a plot driven by disaster, an insertion of slapstick humor is appreciated to lighten the mood here and there.

When the map catches fire, Evelyn and Jonathan are equally devastated. She didn’t back down and she could hold her own. Not to mention she was always confident in herself and in her abilities, which seemed to impress Rick. That’s when I grapple the werewolf, turn them into an ivory statue, and display them in my tomb. I’m expecting to see a lot more clarity in this edition, as well as the boost in power that other splats typically receive in their 2e books. He orders her death, but Ragheb kills him instead. There’s more flavour and character here. My personal favorite is when Rick continuously tries hitting the warden with the end of a rope not long after they’ve arrived in Hamunaptra, albeit subtly, and Gad, annoyed, simply moves away. Utterances are extremely powerful acts of magic and no one can look upon them and mistake them to be a simple mundane occurrence. 2 Comments.

I enjoy Chronicles best when it’s about personal pain and struggles and reading this section makes me imagine all the growth and loss you can put a character through. Tom Tyler appears as Kharis in the flashback sequence through the use of footage from The Mummy's Hand, the second film in the series. Soon, their simple expeditions turn deadly as they discover things beyond the explorers’ wildest dreams.

If you’re not already familiar with the game, I recommend checking out the primer post I have on this blog. Cajun Joe (Kurt Katch) finds the girl wandering listlessly in the swamps, calling out the name "Kharis". They’re the river running red with blood and the sky turning black in the middle of the day. Her sense of responsibility further drives her to do the right thing despite the mortal danger. Evelyn and Rick share a camel, riding off into the sunset, Jonathan accompanying him on another camel after Ardeth has bid them farewell, heading into their version of a “happily ever after.”.
