IF THE GOONS CAPTURE
MARION
The Nazis have a truck parked in an
alley. If the goons capture Marion, they
haul her in the direction of the truck. It
appears to any PCs who see the goons
taking Marion that they load her into the
truck, but the goons actually take her
through a building, into an adjacent alley,
and put her into the trunk of a car.
The truck in the alley is loaded with
ammunition and explosives. If the truck
suffers a collision or flips (see the Moving
in Vehicles section in the rules booklet). it
explodes in a fiery display of flame and
flying debris.
If Marion has been captured, run
Marion through Scene 1 in Episode 4.
SCENE2: SHOWDOWN!
In this scene, Belloq, who engineered the
attack on the PCs in Scene 1, makes
another attempt on Indy's life (if the
attempt in Scene 1 failed). Belloq is very
alarmed at Indiana's presence in Cairo. He
realizes that Jones poses the greatest threat
to his plans for the Ark.
A tall, European man who speaks with a
German accent confronts the PCs as they
walk through the streets. The goon tells
Indy that a man whom Indy will be very
interested to meet awaits him at the coffee-
house. He then tells the PCs to follow him.
If the PCs refuse, go to Scene 4 (after
Sallah has gone through Scene 3).
1f the PCs don't refuse, the goon leads
the PCs to a crowded coffeehouse. Seated
alone at a table, peacefully puffing on a
hookah, is Rene Be/loq. The goon ushers
the PCs to his table.
Belloq, being such a foul villain, is not
satisfied with a straightforward attack. He
spends a few long moments gloating. Keep
in mind that, despite the fact that the two
are mortal enemies, Indiana Jones is the
one man for whom Belloq has some
respect. He feels that Indy is somewhat
like himself-a concept Indy finds appall-

EPILOGUE
The Ark is now safely in the hands of the
United States government, which pays
Indy the handsome sum of $4,500 for his
troubles.
Sallah and Katanga bow out of the
adventure at this point. The government
covers Katanga'.s expenses for his ill-fated
voyage. Indy usually pays Sallah for his
services (the players can handle this them-
selves, if they wish).
Marion now has the option of remai ning
in the United States. Even if she lost all of
her money in The Raven fire, Indy can •
cover her losses.
If Indy wants to find oul what happens
to the A rk, he can go to Washington, D .C.
If he <loes so, Marcus Brody accompanies
him. The two eventually get in to see
Major Eaton and Colonel Musgrove.
These worthy officers assure Indy that
the Ark is in a "safe place;' and that it is
being worked on by ''top men." The two
don' t disclose exactly where or who, how-
ever.
