You are Cordially Invited... ...to a dinner party by the renowned explorer Dr. Reginald Cantwell. Dr. Cantwell has plans to unwrap his latest find during the soiree, a brand new type of Egyptian Mummy. Plenty of learned and renowned people will be at the engagement, but which one secretly invited the characters along? They will have little time to wonder, or to even sample the appetisers. An ancient curse and a sinister organisation have other plans for the evening's entertainment. Can the characters unwrap the sinister secrets of the mummy, or will the ancient powers of the dead empire claim them first? Originally published as a much shorter scenario, The Marylebone Mummy has been rewritten, expanded and adapted to the second edition of Victoriana. This adventure should prove a decent challenge for a group of 1st rank characters. Those familiar with the original penny dreadful will find much of the premise recognisable, but the scenario itself and the unfolding of the plot has been greatly changed.
