Arc 44The Ptolemy Coup
Murphy brought the Transian delegation to the Sanghai Empire to pursue the Creator’s legacy and forge alliances. A poisoned-wine plot and the Abyss of Wraiths crisis plunged Sangha into rebellion, leaving Murphy and the players to organize a fight for Origin Harbor.
- The Transian delegation entered Origin Harbor after the Pharaoh temporarily lifted Pablo and Triss’s wanted notices, and Murphy introduced the Creator relic restoration quest to the players.
- Murphy enlisted Pablo to search for the astral laboratory, then fought off chaos creatures and rescued Prince Bai after an attack on a Kalumese aircraft.
- Murphy formed plans for a Holy Blood Warband and a unified vampire kingdom, while Mannis helped players explore Creator technology and recover programming knowledge.
- The players repaired and claimed a Creator machine tool, and Murphy negotiated power armor, technical knowledge, and a crashed Sun Ship visit with the Sanghai Empire.
- Murphy and Thutmose II signed the Sacred Covenant, but Mannis warned that the timeline had changed, and Murphy stopped the Pharaoh from drinking poisoned wine before mummy dancers attacked the banquet.
- Murphy placed the unconscious Thutmose II in a containment module and escaped with Triss and their allies as Sangha’s crisis worsened, the Abyss of Wraiths seal failed, and Bayek was killed.
- Players equipped with Sandsea Guard armor prepared to break out, while Murphy rallied forces and sent George to stop fighting near the Isus Delta.
- Five-Spoke Wheel organized mercenaries and prepared 3,500 new players to capture Origin Port, while the Porm family armed them and planned a surprise attack on Senta Oasis.
