Alexandria 1900

Collissa Montpelier is invited via message to meet with "Caesar" at the Art Greco Museum.
Samuel Janek awakened during the day because of the Keening. Rotshreks and gets exposed to the sun. Takes 3 levels aggravated damage. Acquires a Derangement, a phobia of the sun, fire, or bright light.
Matthias Desjardins‎‎ is also invited. He feeds from footpads in the city, then goes to the meeting with "Caesar".
Sienneo Neroli is "Caesar". He asks the group to find the hands of Alexander, buried in the city. He give them the idea that one hand is in Caesars Camp.
The group goes out to Chez Caesar and leaves their cab. Sam Janek puts the ring on, it begins chanting {Nam partes sunt totum, totum est summa, fons vinculum (For the parts are the whole, the whole is the sum, the source, the binding.)}
The group notices another group as they are walking. Both go to a building at the juncture of the narrow streets. Built of stone, mostly fallen in, the Others run into the building and find a stair case going down. When the characters find the other group they are attacked with rolled mustard gas bombs.

The found scroll

"and with the loss of St Marks holy relics protecting his bones and stopping the necromancers
Lamdidas broke up Alexanders body.
His .... were buried outside Caesars encampment.
His left ... buried with a knight near Saint Marks church.
His right foot was encased under Al Hadra castle.
The pelvis was broken, and near the library
The head on the third level of the Kom al Qabar.
We broke his chest, the heart side to Anfousi,
the Liver side in Kom Al Nadura"

Dimitri Zivisti hired others to compete for the body parts of Alexander. Dimitri contacted Dimonsthenis Joseph to hire beggars to track the coterie.
