It's Christmas at St Mary's and time for Max's obligatory illegal jump. On this occasion, however, they're right up against it. A loaded gun has been left behind in Ancient Egypt and it's up to them to retrieve it before anyone accidentally blows their own head off, thus affecting the timeline for centuries to come. And as if that's not enough, someone (Max) has inadvertently poisoned Mr Markham. It's hot, they're running out of supplies, they can't find the gun, and it's all going horribly wrong. Again.
The stories in the challenge are:

LOVED this story. Although I am really a medievalist, I always particularly enjoy a taste of Ancient Egypt and it has put me right in the mood for a city building game I have called Pharaoh ;-) Beautiful moments with Max and Leon too
