If the PCs move ahead to see what frightened the Indian, they find a gruesomestone statue, nearly covered with vines. IfIndy makes a successful Instinct Check, herecognizes the statue as a guardian that issupposed to ward intruders away from thetemple entrance.

As the PCs move on through the jungle,have each make an Instinct Check (including NPCs, if no players are running thePeruvian guides). For each successfulInstinct Check. the PCs find one of thefollowing along the next 100 yards of path:1. A poison-tipped dart embedded in atree trunk. If one of the guides makes

another successful Instinct Check, hedetermines that the dart was made by theHovitos, and that the poison on the dart is3 days old.2. Two spears, stuck into the groundan d crossed to bar the way.3. A human skull, dangling from anoverhanging branch.At the end of the 100 yards, the PCscome to a stretch of sand and a small pool.A waterfall pours into the far side of thepool. This is the spot indicated on theChachapoyan Temple Map as the templeentrance. All three characters are aware ofthis.

BARRANCA'S BETRAYALIf you are running Barranca as an NPC,the Peruvian tries to attack Indy and steal

his portion of the map when the charactersreach the waterfall. If a player is runningBarranca, it is up to that p layer to decide ifhe wants to take some sort of actionagainst Indy.If either of the Peruvians tries to turn onIndy, allow Indy to make an InstinctCheck. If the Check succeeds, Indybecomes aware of the guide's betrayal.Whether Barranca and Satipo are PCs orNPCs in this episode, treat them as goonsfor the purpose of combat. If either one ofthe guides takes a Serious wound, he fallsunconscious and is eliminated from theadventure. Also, if Indy strikes either ofthe guides with his whip, the guide must

make a Backbone Check at 112. If theCheck fails, the guide races into the junglean d doesn't return until Indy is no longerin the area.

Here he borrows a car from a contact by the name of Lin-Su, a Chinesegentleman Indy has known for severalyears.

Each of the lamps shown on The RMap is lit; each also holds a small amof oil. A huge fire blazes in the fireplthe center of the room. Wooden kegstaining all kinds of cheap drink linebar, and a thick haze of smoke hangsthe noisy room .Shortly after the drinking contestover, the bar begins emptying out. SIndy.

A fourth goon is waiting outside by thecar Toht used to get to The Raven. He isunarmed. If you want, you can have thisgoon enter the fight at a strategic time. (I fthe PCs are getting pasted, however, itmight be wise to keep this goon out of thefray.)You should keep in mind that Toht hascome for the headpiece to the Staff of Ra,

not to get his head blown off in the nameof der Fuhrer. If the fight is going againsthim. he' ll be looking for a quick way out.UP IN SMOKE

The bar, curtains, tables, and booze inthis joint are all highly flammable, so if thelead starts flying, chances are pretty goodthat the whole place could catch fire.If PCs are brawling in a Square wherethere is a table, they knock the table over.(A knocked-over table provides hardcover, by the way.) If any table isknocked over, a fire starts. Also, the barcatches fire if any bullet hits or passesthrough the fireplace. If Toht's hot pokerfalls on a piece of furniture or into thecurtains, the poker also starts a fire.

If , amazingly, none of these thingsoccurs, you can rule that a stray bulletknocks over an oil lamp, and fire breaksout.Once a fire is burning in the bar, itspreads rapidly, although it has no effectuntil it has been burning for 6 turns. After6 turns. however, the fire has a DangerRating of 60. After another 6 turns, it hasa Danger Rating of 120 . After 6 moreturns, the bar collapses, causing two Serious wounds to any character who's stillinside.Make sure the PCs realize that the wholeplace is going up in smoke, and that it willcollapse soon!

ACQUIRING THE HEADPIECEMarion has a suitcase and a few possessions in a room at a cheap hotel up thestreet from The Raven. Among the possessions are several of Abner Ravenwood'snotebooks. A detailed description of theheadpiece to the Staff of Ra (including acopy of the markings on both sides of thepiece) is written in one of the notebooks.

They aredelighted to have company, an d are verygracious hosts.

Sallah has access to a truck, which heoccasionally borrows from his friendOmar. You should be careful to let the PCsuse the truck only when the story calls forthem to have such transportation. Youshould also let the PCs know that Omarkeeps his truck in a large garage in Cairo.This is information that could come invery handy!Allow your players to role-play themeeting between Indy, Marion. and Sallahand let them exchange whatever information they want . Mention to the PCs, ifthey don't already know, that the strangemarkings on the headpiece to the Staff ofRa must be interpreted before the piece canbe used in the Map Room of Tanis. Eventhough Indiana is skilled in many languages, this task is beyond him.While the PCs are in Sallah's home, theyare joined by a small monkey. The animalis very affectionate, and takes a particularliking to Marion. Because the monkeyplays an important part in later scenes, itsAttribute Ratings are given on the RefereeSheet.The monkey has been trained by a sinister Monkey Man, who is working for the

The Nazis are here aswell, and they've planned a little welcomecelebration for }ones and his companions.The first time Indy leaves Sallah 's homefor any reason (day or night), he isattacked by a group made up of Arabs andNazis.

Belloq tells Indy that the Germans aredose to finding the Ark, an d that the findmeans a great deal to him personally. Hesays he can use it as a transmitter to God;it will give him incredible power. He isclearly obsessed with the legends of theLost Ark.Thirty Arab goons arc lounging aboutthe coffeehouse. pretending to ignore theconversation between the two Westernarchaeologists. Each, however, is armedwith a concealed gun and knife. TheAttribute Ratings for Arab goons are listedon the Referee Sheet.If Indy makes a threatening movetoward Belloq, the 30 Arabs immediatelyleap to their feet (see "Sallah to the Rescue" below). Suddenly, the barrels of 30different guns are pointing directly at Indy.If indy makes no kind of move towardBel/oq during the conversation, Be/Joqeventually tires of toying with his victim.He quickly raises and lowers two fingers,which is the sign for the Arabs to attack.The Arab goons don't shower the coffeehouse with lead, however, if they areordered to attack. Instead, six of the goonsescort Indy out to an alley behind thebuilding and prepare to kn ife him (eachalso has a pistol). If Marion is with Indy.Belloq has her taken prisoner. Two goonslead her out the front door of the coffeehouse. If a PC doesn't catch up to her andher captors in 10 rounds, use the procedure described in "If the Goons CaptureMarion" from Scene 1.SALLAH 10 THE RESCUE

By this time, Sa/Jah will have returnedfrom work (Scene 3). When he returnshome, he finds out where Indy is from oneof his children. If Indy is in the coffeehouse, Sallah takes Omars truck there.Sallah!; children beg him to allow them tocome along.Sallah arrives at the wffeehouse just intime. He can send his children in to rescuetheir "Uncle IndY.' In this case, the goonsallow Indy to go free.If Sallah has accompanied Indy into the

coffeehouse, however. things are a littlestickier. The goons escort Indy and Sallahout to the alley at gunpoint. Of Marion isstill with the PCs, two goons take her outthe front door.) Tell the players that stacksof crates line the walls of the alley, and acriss-cross pattern of beams forms a ceilingover the alley.

If the res knock the crates down as theypass. they can run away for 3 turns beforethe goons go after them. Or, if the PCsmake successful Movement Checks. theycan jump up to gr.lb the beams, and can

hoist themselves onto the rooftops. Ineither case, use the Chase Flow Chart if theres escape.SCENE3: ADAYATTHEDIGIn this scene, Sal/ah goes to work at thedigs outside Cairo. This scene takes placethe day after Indy arrives at Sal/ahs home.Sallah notices the following while atwork: At around 8 a.m., Bel/oq strides upto the Map Room entrance, carrying awooden slick several inches taller than heis . He throws the stick into the Map Roomand then lowers himself into the room .After an hour, he emerges and immediately order$ a concentration of digging tobegin some distance away from the mainexcavation.

The rest of the day passes uneventfully,as Sallah isn't assigned to the new dig.When he returns to Cairo, Sallah goes tothe coffeehouse {if Indy io; there), or hegoes with the PCs to Imams house (Scene4).SCENE4: THEHOUSE OF IMAMSallahs friend Imam knows a great dealabout ancient hieroglyphics; he is able totranslate the markings on the headpiece tothe Staff ofRa. The PCs must take theheadpiece (or a copy of the markings) toImam, as the old man never leaves hishome. When the PCs visit him, the monkey tries to accompany them.

Imam and his teenage servant Ab u livein a simple dwelling. Imam sits crosslegged on a rug at one end of a large room,while Ab u moves back and fo r th betweenthe large room and the kitchen, where heis preparing food for the visitors.Even Imams home is not safe, however.As the old man is reading the markings onthe headpiece, the Monkey Man tries toeliminate Indiana ]onl'S. To determinewhat method the A1onkey Man uses, roll

his episode features Indiana Jones,Marion Ravenwood, and Sallah. Ittakes place at the Tanis dig.PC (PLAYER) OBJECTIVESFind the Ark of the Covenant (worth 3Player Points).NPC (REFEREE) OBJECTIVESGet at least one player to the Ark of theCovenant (worth 3 Player Points).SCENE 1KIDNAPPED!Run this scene only if Marion has beencaptured. You may want to ask the otherplayers to leave the room while you runMarion through this scene.Two Nazi goons and two Arab goonstake Marion from Cairo ou t to the dig.Each of the goons is armed with a submachine gun.Once they reach the Tanis site, thegoons haul Marion into a tent. Dietrich,the Nazi commander of the dig, asksMarion where Dr. ]ones is. He is alsocurious about the identity of ]ones:-; Arabcompanion. (Dietrich asks this only ifSallah has been seen in public with Indy)For the purpose of combat, Dietrich is avillain. He is armed with a pistol.The Nazi doesn't harm Marion, but youshould be sure Marion is aware that torture is not out of the question. Dietrichmight say, "My dear, if you fail to answerthe questions I ask so politely, perhaps youwill be more inclined to speak to HerrToht. I warn you, though- he is not nearlyso pleasant as I. . :[t's up to Marion's player to determinehow Marion reacts to the questioning.Dietrich acts immediately on any information that she might give out, especially ifshe mentions Sallah. If this occurs, Sallahcan no longer move about the dig undisguised.SCENE2: TANIS DIGThe excavation at Tanis sprawls acrosshundreds of acres of desert. The dig is SOmiles from Cairo-approximately a 2-hourdrive over rough, dirt roads.Look at the Tanis Dig Map when thePCs come to the dig. Don 't show this mapto the players, however; use it as a reference when you are describing the area tothe players.Ten large tents are grouped at one end ofthe site. These tents provide shelter forsupplies and the soldiers that live on thesHe. Belloq . Dietrich, and Toht each havetheir own tent. If the Nazis are holdingMarion prisoner, they keep her tied up inBeffoq's tent. There is no one guarding

0 F T H E

Marion during the day.Characters can easily climb the 40-foothigh ridges that rim the site, although theridges do block line of sight. If a PC wantsto see what's over the other side of a ridge,he must climb it first.GETTING TO THE DIGWorkers are constantl y going fromCairo to the dig and back again, usuallyby truck. Salh1h's friend Omar is one ofthe men who often drives workers backand forth. I f necessary, Sallah can findnine workers who can help Indy search forthe Ark.

Omar's truck is loaded with four coils ofrope (100 feet each); two 8-foot-long poles;a large crate; two cans of kerosene (withspray hoses}; eight shovels; four crowbars;eighteen torches; surveying equipment;and a staff cut to the length called for bythe headpiece. The PCs may bring moreequ ipment if they want, but remind theplayers that the PCs must secure the equipment before leaving Cairo.MOVING ABOUT THE DIGIndy can disguise himself as an Arabwhen he goes to the dig. If he does so, heblends in very well. If he talks directly to aNazi or to an Arab loyal to the Nazis,make an Instinct Check at 1/ 4 for the NPC(use the Attribute Ratings for Nazi goons).If the Check succeeds, the goon noticessomething is screwy, and raises an alarm(see below).If Belfoq or Toht sees Indy in disguise,make an Instinct Check at 112 for the viilain. If the Check succeeds, the villainraises an ala rm .

If a goon or villain spots Marion movingfreely around the dig, make a normalInstinct Check for the NPC. If the Checksucceeds, the goon raises an alarm.If Marion disguises herself as a man,however, make the NPC's Check at 1/4 (l / zif she is spotted by Belloq or Toht).If Indy enters any one of the tents at thedig, rollld10. On a roll of 1-5, Indy findsMarion in the tent, bound and gagged. If

Indy rescues Marion, 10d10 minutes passbefore someone notices she has escaped.An alarm is then raised .When an alarm is raised: Once one of thePCs is discovered, he has 3 turns to getaway or hide. I f the NPC that has raisedthe alarm can keep the PC in sight, the PCcan't slip away, and 12 Arab goons (armedwith knives) try to capture the PCEven if a PC manages to escape, the heatis on once an alarm has been raised. If thePC still tries to move around the dig,double all NPC Instinct Checks that areoutlined above in "Moving About the

The substitute piece must have acrystal in its center.Continue to roll for Tanis encounters onTable 4 if any PCs are still outside the MapRoom. No one discovers that Indy is in theroom unless he draws attention to himself.

It takes Indy 30 minutes to determinewhere the staff should be placed. A fewminutes after he puts the staff in theproper place, the sun casts a beam throughthe crystal in the head piece.The room begins to glow warmly. as abrilliant beam of light shoots out from thecrystal an d sears a spot on the replica of

Tanis-a spot well away from the diggingnow being done. Indy has discovered thetrue location of the Well of Souls!SCENE4: SEARCHING FOR THEARKIndy must now use his Surveying knowledge to find the exact spo t at which heshould dig. lndy has a ll of the properequipment and information to do his surveying.The entrance to the Well of Souls liesatop a ridge hundreds of yards from themain concentration of digging. No Nazisor Arabs notice the PCs digging in thisnew spot.lt takes the PCs an d their NPC helpers72 man-hours of digging to uncover theentrance. Thus, if Indy, Sallah, Omar andthe nine extra workers all pitch in, the jobtakes 6 hours.

If the characters are st ill digging bynightfaiJ, a lightning storm provides themwith enough light.A heavy, rectangular slab of stone sealsthe entrance. As the characters pry thestone away, a gust of stale air whooshesout of the Well, wailing ominously.la y the Well of Souls Map out beforethe players as the characters open theWell.The floor of the chamber lies 30 feetbelow the entrance. The Well of Souls is adark, gloomy place. Even if there is daylight , the PCs must drop some source oflight into the Well before they can seeanything.

When the PCs light the Well, they seethat the floor seems to writhe and squ irmwith a life of its own. A low, hissing soundfills the chamber. After a few seconds, thePCs realize that the chamber floor is covered wi th thousands of slithering snakes.

If Sallah or an Arab NPC makes a successful instinct Check, he recognizes thesnakes as asps an d cobras-two extremelyvenomous species.Neither Omar nor an v other NPC voluntarily enters the pit. It's up to the PCs togo into the Well to retrieve the Ark. ThePCs have no trouble lowering themselvesinto the Well.Huge statues of Anubis, guardian of thedead. rise mightily from the floor to theceiling of the chamber. A raised platformstands at the wec;t end of the chamber, anda rectangular stone altar rests atop theplatform. A slab of stone covers the altar.Hundreds of tiny holes dot the south wallof the chamber. Snakes are continuallyslithering th rough the holes, some fallinginto the chamber, others climbing out.GEITING AROUND THE SNAKES

If PCs throw torches onto the floor, thesnakes slither away from the fire. Nosnakes enter a Square that has some kindof flame in it.The kerosene in each can of fuel lasts for15 minutes. if PCs burn it constantly. Eachtorch bums for 15 minutes. If the PC-;want, they may use the kerosene to '" toast"'a large number of snakes at one time. Noone ever said this would be a pretty job!The snakes in the chamber don 't attackthe PCs unless the PCs try to harm themwith something ot her than fire. For example, i f Indy steps on an asp, the asp attacksIndy. Or, if Marion falls from the ceilingand lands on 12 snakes, she is attacked byall12 snakes. Attribut e Ratings for snakesare listed on the Referee Sheet.If a PC uses a torch to wave awaysnakes, he can walk through the chamber(1 Square per turn) without any problem.If a PC tries to move through the chamberwithout using any kind of fire, however,he runs the risk of stepping into Squaresthat contain snakes. When a PC tries tostep into a Square filled with snakes, havehim make a Backbone Check. If the Checkfails, the PC freezes in panic for 1 turn. Ifthe Check succeeds, he may try to moveahead, but he must make a MovementCheck to do so. If the Check fails, the PCeither stays in the same Square. or movesback 1 Square. If the Square behind h im isfilled with snakes, one snake attacks thePC.

Two Nazi goons guard Belloq's tent at alltimes during the night. If Marion tries toescape through the front flap, the guardscatch her. If Belloq passes out, Marion canescape through the back or side walls ofthe tent; the rules covering PCs wh o ar emoving about the dig (Scene 2 in Episode4) still apply. Sometime during Belloq'slittle party (the exact timing is up to you),Toht, Dietrich, and two Nazi goons enterBelloq's tent.Toht advances toward Marion, w ~ e z i n g eagerly. Give the PC the impression thatMarion's about to subjected to the mostfiendish tortures imaginable. Su ddenly,Belloq steps between Toht an d Marion andforbids him to harm her. Toht protests(having once again been denied practicinghis craft), bu t Belloq stands his ground.Finally, all of the villains storm out of thetent, leav ing the two goons behind withMarion.

If the Check succeeds, the PC finds thesecret exit. The PCs may pry the stoneopen with a knife, shovel. or any othersharp object. The passage behind the stoneleads to a burial chamber. Go to Scene 4.Good old-fashioned rescue: The PCs canuse this option on ly if Marion or Sallah isfree. (Sallah may have escaped in Scene 3.)That PC must then figure out some way torescue the res that are trapped in theWell.

l f the PCs are rescued from the Well, thefirst thing they see upon emerging is theNazi airstrip. lf the PCs go toward th rairstrip, go to Scene 5.SCENE3: SALLAH'SFATEPlay this scene only if Sallah is capturedby the Nazis outside the Well of Souls inScene 2.

The Nazis order Sallah, Omar, and thenine diggers to raise their hands behindtheir heads. Two Nazi goons (armed withsubmachine guns) and six Arab goons(armed with rifles) lead the prisoners awayfrom the Well to an area just south of thetents. The goons hold the prisoners in a 6-foot-deep, circular pit. The pit is 30 feet indiameter. The goons then stat ion themselves at various intervals around the rim ofthe pit.If Sallah tries to escape at any time,

Omar and the other diggers join him (ifSallah wants them to). Attribute Ratingsfor Omar and the diggers are given on theReferee Sheet. If Sallah asks the Arabgoons for help, they offer none-exceptthe promise that they will hold their fire. USallah is careful to speak in Arabic, theNazis don 't understand any conversationthat takes place between Sallah and theArab goons.

If Sallah and the diggers try to escape,make Instinct Checks for the Nazi goons.If a Check succeeds, the goons open fire onthe escaping prisoners. The Nazis spraythe fire in all directions, however; roll foronly one attack per prisoner for each tumin which there are at least six prisoners stillstanding (to represent the spray of thesubmachine gun fire). If there are fewerthan six prisoners, some may be hit bymore than one bullet.

Ten turns after submachine gun firebreaks out, four more Nazi goons ar rive atthe scene. If the fight continues, four Nazigoons arrive every 10 turns. If all of theNazi goons involved in the fight areunconscious at one time, the prisoners candisperse and flee into the tent area, mingling with the other Arabs in the dig.SCENE4: BURIAL CHAMBERRead the following boxed text to the players as the PCs enter this area.

The Nazis load the Ar k into the back ofa heavy truck. Six Nazi goons ride in backwith the Ark. and two ride in the cab. Allare armed with pistols. The Nazis areplanning to take the Ark to Cairo to beloaded on a ship bound for a Nazi islandbase in the Mediterranean.Three cars accompany the truck, eachcarrying three people. A machine gun ismounted in the back of one of the cars.Belloq, Toht, Dietrich, and six Nazi goonsmake up the party accompanying thetruck. You can decide who rides in whichcar, but note that the drivers of all threecars should be goons. You should alsodecide the order of vehicles in the Nazis'convoy.

s

Make sure that the PCs have a chance tosee the Nazis preparing to leave. If the PCswant to chase the Nazis, they can find thefollowing forms of transportation in themotor pool area of the dig: one horse,two motorcycles, and five heavy trucks(including Omars). All of the vehicleshave keys in them.The Nazi convoy has already moved SOAreas before the PCs head out after them.The Nazis travel at 30 mph.If you want, you can use the Nazi Vehicle figures to map out this chase.

RUNNING THE CHASEUse the Chase Flow Chart from theboxed game when you run this chase.If some PCs do not take part in thischase, make sure you find out what theyare doing.

The road from the dig to Cairo windsthrough high, rocky ridges dotted wi thsparse vegetation. A horse can easily crossthis terrain, automatically gaining 1d10Areas on the convoy per minute. Motorcycles can also cut through this terrain,gaining on the convoy as horses do. I f aPC is driving a motorcycle, however, hemust make a successful Movement Check

The roadways that fo llow Circles A, G,and L on the Chase Flow Chart run alonga 100-foot-high cliff to the left. If a vehiclehas an accident that sends it into a slidealong any of these roads, roll 1d10. On aroll of 1-5, the vehicle sails over the cliff;on a roll of 6-10, the vehicle slides to theright.As soon as Nazis spot a pursuing PCthey open fire. The Nazis never risk shooting at the truck that carries the Ark, however, even if a PC is in clear view near thetruck.

If a PC takes control of the truck that.carries the Ark, the Nazis in the truck'srear try to climb along the sides or top ofthe truck to get to the cab. The truckpasses some kind of obstruction (trees,cliff, building) every 3 turns. If the driverswerves toward an obstruction, you mustmake a Strength Check for any Nazi hanging onto the outside of the truck. I f aCheck fails, the Nazi falls.RESOLVING THE CHASEAs a result of this chase, the truck carrying the Ark will be in either the Nazis' orthe PCs' control.lf a PC is alone in the truck carrying theArk. he reaches Cairo in 5 minutes.If the Nazis still control the truck carrying the Ark, and all of the PCs involved inthe chase stop for any length of time, theNazis get the Ark to Cairo in 5 minutes.IF THE NAZIS HAVE THE ARK

The Nazis drive the truck directly to theCairo waterfront. They load the Ark ontoa steamer that departs immediately for theMediterranean. As soon as the steamer isout of sight of land, the Nazis transfer theArk to the Wurrfler, a Nazi submarine thatwill carry its cargo to an island base. Bel-loq plans to perform the ritual of openingthe Ar.k on this island.If the PCs arrive in Cairo within an hourafter the German steamer departs, theycan board the Bantu Wind and follow theNazis. (See Scene 2 for notes on the BantuWind.)If the PCs arrive in Cairo too late, h.avethem get in touch with a contact at thewaterfront. The con tact can tell the PCswhen the German steamer left. He alsosays that the Germans who boarded theship seemed to handle one piece of cargo

At least two goons are on duty atall times.PCs may run into Nazis in the followinglocations on the island: the submarine pen(see map inset), the supply depots, theairstrip, and along the trails. No Nazis arearound the altar area until Belloq arrivesthere.

If any of the PCs are discovered runningloose on the island, the Nazis raise analarm. Six parties of six Nazi goons each(four armed with rifles, two with submachine guns) go out to search the island. IfPCs are loose on the island after an alarmhas been raised, have them see or run intoone of these search parties.THE ARRIVAL OF THE WURRFLER

The Nazi U-boat approaches the islanddocking bay at 9 a.m., surfacing just outside the entrance.
