Once settled in the team awaited orders, recuperating for their last mission for almost 6 weeks awaiting word from OSS Delta Green HQ in Arkham Mass. Or word from MI6 in Montreal.  As the team debates on what to do there is a knock on the door....

They team arrives at the series of Cave temples at ELLORA in the late in the evening just before sunset as many of the pilgrims are heading back to their lodgings at the local town.

The team observes one large group of Pilgrams heading off to the north. They follow them and find a magically conceled entrance to a hidden temple.

In the end they hand over the remaining artifact; a grapefruit sized jewel of "Charismatic Power" to Lt Indrajit Pankaja Joshi of the Indian Common Wealth Intelligance corp (He is actually a Rakshasa) and his Free British Lover Lt. Arthur Tenison. In exchange they will Keep INDIA out of the AXIS, But will be unable to keep India in the War. India declares itself neutral and Independent....
