Handout 1. McAlpine’s Letter Dear Sir, - S c e n a r i o 2 : H a n d o f A b y z o u H a n d o u t s - Doctor William McAlpine (PSGB, RPS, FEPS) T h e C h a n c e l l o r ’ s B u i l d i n g – T h e U n i v e r s i t y o f E d i n b u r g h I write to inform you that our mutual friend, Professor Michael Ashbury, has been committed to the Edinburgh Lunatic Asylum after a recent misadventure. This will no doubt come as a shock: Ashbury was nothing if a sensible man. Allow me to explain. Three days ago, I was relaxing at the Edinburgh Philaletheian Society in New Town, when the Professor burst in and proceeded to relate the story I shall now endeavour to tell you. He was very poorly dressed, looked quite the madman, and was positively filthy from days spent in the Edinburgh Vaults… but I am getting ahead of myself. When Dr. Montague Albans, director of the EPS, and I had managed to sit Ashbury down, he began to tell us of a new ‘snake cult’ he had discovered by word of mouth. As a member of the Philaletheian Society and Professor of Theology, you will imagine his interest. You will also likely be aware that Ashbury has published an article or two on the subject of snake cults. He explained he made efforts to learn more of the cult’s activities and the nature of its deity. According to Ashbury, the cult calls itself the ‘Hand of Abyzou’, and worships a snake goddess of the same name. Ashbury seems to have been desperate for information, because (as he put it) he ‘signed up’ with the cult and became (again in his words) one of the ‘devout nameless ones’. Apparently the cult operates in the Edinburgh Vaults, and particularly beneath the Old Town and Castle Hill. Ashbury stayed with them for days: he explained the cult seemed to be looking for some kind of temple, as well as writings and artefacts relating to ‘Abyzou’, within the Vaults. Fanciful stuff when written on the page, but I assure you the Professor was in a state of panic and horror as he told us his tale. He told us he was forced into performing rituals, and even made to learn some kind of ‘spell’. All this disturbed him greatly, and in his own words he began to feel himself ‘coming unhinged’. He said he made up his mind to withdraw from the cult. 7 Player Handouts
