Since I seem to be failing to do a full writeup, I've drawn some maps
and will scan them when Keith gets back. Here are the notations for
the large agricultural area map - which won't make much sense until
you see the map - and a quick summary of where we are, since that's
better than nothing. 

Agricultural Area:

The grid represents the regular grid of dirt roads.

1) Stairs up from the airlock through which the group escaped the
water.
2) Stairs down to the "worm station" of the city's transport system.
3) A water tower - with clean and drinkable, albeit sterile and
tasteless, water.
4) A building which you suppose to be a barn.
5) Great doors - closed.
6) Great doors - open. A large dark corridor lies beyond; as yet,
unexplored.
7) Graves. Here Mr Gorley dissected two worms, discovering they were
of unusual physiology.
8) A bunkroom. Here you found the "glow globe" discarded.
9) A building which you suppose to be a cowshed.
10) The stele at which you found the two dead Belgians, and at which
Maria-Natalia inadvertently swallowed a worm - fortunately, persuaded
later to consume salt water and hence vomit it from her. From them you
took the rod which controls the transit system in some way.

Library Station:

Here, for those who missed that session, you found a number of
sarcophagi - plain, and of immense stone construction - and two more
ornately decorated, one of which appeared to have been recently
vacated.

Shortly onwards you found the study of one Makris, who claimed to be a
Prince of the Blood of Atlantis and the Royal Librarian; however,
aside from his considerable height, he appeared to be a normal
gentleman in a normal study. He instructed you to go to the central
pyramid, open the doors retarding the influx of water, and sink the
city once again. He also strongly advocated burning "The King in
Yellow", which suggestion was acted upon; and discussed the entity of
that name in terms of distate, suggesting that the "worm that walks"
was the corrupted remains of later Lords of the city, and that
DeGrange was a servant of the said King - that DeGrange had allowed
you to escape because of a need for sacrifices who had come to the
city of their own free will. He also gave you access to some
destinations in the transit system; besides those listed below, one
deep in the bowels of the city was mentioned.

You have moved the diving suits to the library station, and rested
there.

Docks:

The "wreck" is a sunken wooden ship, apparently scuttled. It is of
unusual construction, with metal hawsers. The "sub" is your own Edison
submersible, drained of galvanic charge, and stripped of all tools,
provisions, and equipment.

Here a man had clearly been killed and dragged away. A firefight
resulted with two surviving Belgians; one was killed, but the other
captured and interrogated in a state of some fear. He was one of
DeGrange's men, left to guard the submersible; the worm that walks, "a
thing in the shape of a man", killed his sergeant, and the other two
had holed up in the warehouse. He mentioned also a great spiral ramp
or staircase in the city, with the worms below and the pyramid above;
and that survivors from the Trafalgar had been brought to the city.
He was left, bound, in the submersible.

The dead man had another copy of "The King in Yellow", which your
prisoner mentioned many of his compatriots had read. It was consigned
to the deep.

Pyramid:

Here you found a short corridor leading to a wooden barricade,
consisting of supply crates crudely nailed together. Maria-Natalia and
Ronny broke through the barricade at her insistence; she went beyond
to investigate. After perhaps two minutes, lights like the glow-globe
you carry came on beyond, and after a moment a fusillade of shots ran
out; the adventure continues with Mr Wentzel closest to the barricade,
immediately after that burst of fire.

Weapons and Equipment

I think you have captured or obtained:

Two rifles (of an unfamiliar Continental design, employing smokeless
cartridges), with Mr Wentzel and Mr Gorley. After the exchange of fire
at the docks (and relieving the dead man there of his ammunition), you
have 20 cartridges; unless I am told otherwise, I will suppose each of
those gentleman has 4 loaded and 6 in reserve.

Three revolvers (also of a Continental design, but firing black
powder. Of medium calibre; smaller than a Webley Mk I). Maria-Natalia
was carrying one unloaded, the other two being carried by Mr Gorley
and Mr Smallburn. These do have a safety catch, so may be carried with
six bullets loaded. I think you now have 30 bullets; unless told
otherwise, these are equally divided between Gorley and Smallburn.

Two combat knives, with Maria-Natalia.

Two knapsacks; one with Maria-Natalia, one with Mr Gorley. Mr Gorley's
contains a tent, now deprived of some ropes employed for the purpose
of restraining Belgians. Mrs Arkadiou's contains the expedition's
meagre supply of food and water...
