Episode Summary[]
The adventurers arrive at Istanbul, the seat of the Ottoman Empire and the gateway to the Middle East. They are soon met by Ali Ibn Hasan, an old scoundrel of a friend to Colonel Gentleman. They catch up on old times, with Travers Masterson in tow, while the rest of the team go to restock and resupply. They soon acquire accommodations in the English district of Istanbul, which looks like a garish parody of London.
After they sleep, the adventurers wake up to find a charred body in the street and much commotion from the authorities. They skip out on the authorities and investigate the murder. This leads the adventurers to the morgue where Doctor Byron Orpheus raises the dead official for purposes of interrogation. The clues lead the party to the Jewish district, where they are accosted by Assassins.
They discover the secret of Greek Fire, clear their names with the authorities, and fight a terrible Djinn near the Assassin's hideout. In the process, Colonel Gentleman transforms into his Dragon form, startling the party.
Sword Canes lost - 1, in the gear machinery of a hidden door at the Assassin's hideout.
