Re: Anthony DeCarlo - Private Eye - At your service

She accepts the papers and gives you her address. It is in the better, but not the posh part of town. She informs you that she is boarding with a "charming widow" who rents out rooms in her house to young lady-lodgers. You confirm address and time once more and, with a slight spring in you...

Re: Anthony DeCarlo - Private Eye - At your service

luck roll: impale, massive success! http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3764868/ Your face lights up. You had stashed the papers safely into an envelope and put them under your waistcoat. You had, after all, almost paid with your life for them. Nothing was going to take them away from you. You h...

Re: Anthony DeCarlo - Private Eye - At your service

Quincey nods, thanks you again and closes the door behind you. You make your way to the bank (it is around 11 am). And then you decide to visit Ms McLane at the university library. You check your reflection in a shop window (incidentally, a stationary shop, and in the window you see a beautiful, exp...

Re: Anthony DeCarlo - Private Eye - At your service

The old man looks at you quizzically for a long moment, then he puffs on his cigar and at length, he answers: "Books, my young friend, can be dangerous. At least some of them. It is not like that there is any inherent danger in the pages or the leather of the cover, but the words, when read by ...

Re: Anthony DeCarlo - Private Eye - At your service

The next morning, you ring Quincey and give him the good news. The old man is overjoyed when you return the book to him. He pays your fees and offers you a cigar. You get 1d3 sanity back for successfully returning the book. You can also go to the library to meet Ms McLane. "Thank you so much, M...

Re: Anthony DeCarlo - Private Eye - At your service

You make it safely out of the courtyard and onto the street beyond the fence. You look up and down, but there is noone. You leave the area of Blane's appartment quickly, but you don't run (no use attracting attention). You see a couple of cops, but they don't take any notice of you. I assume that yo...

Re: Anthony DeCarlo - Private Eye - At your service

You go down the stairs and see a narrow door, which is ajar. Through it, you can feel a draft of cold, fresh air. You step outside and find yourself in a small courtyard. You can see trash cans (the old lady was probably down here and forgot to close the door earlier). You can see a fence behind the...

Re: Anthony DeCarlo - Private Eye - At your service

You look throught the apartment (not that there is much to look at) and find: 12 Dollars in cash, a sleeping draft, the Scripture of Shule (and as you can see, it has been heavily annotated by someone). You also find all of Ethan Blane's notes (the handwriting tells you that it was he who annotated ...

Re: Anthony DeCarlo - Private Eye - At your service

Take 1d3 HP damage You look through the window and see the smashed body of Ehtan Blane lying in a pool of blood. People have gathered around it and are looking at the corpse. It is clear that the police will soon arrive on the scene. You survey the room. You can now make 2 spot hidden rolls and the...

Blane is faster than you had thought. He jumps you and starts to throttle you.

Re: Anthony DeCarlo - Private Eye - At your service

You get a good grip on your gun and point it a Blane, who eyes you fiercly, an inhuman snarl coming from his throat. He lunges at you.

You jump at him http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3686774/, failed , but Blane has already gotten up and is facing you. You crash into him, and realize much to your surprise, that it feels like crashing into a very solid though elastic wall, like strong acacia bushes. Blane grapples you and bit...

Re: Anthony DeCarlo - Private Eye - At your service

Funny you should say that: the publishers never said anything. But you are right, this is kind of horrific. Make a 0/1 San check, then let me know what you are going to do, you can give several options like "I will try x. If that does not work, I will try y." I will then make the rolls fo...

Re: Anthony DeCarlo - Private Eye - At your service

As you are getting closer, you can make out that the "wailing" is more of a chanting, although you cannot understand it, you can identify syllables, forming words in an unknown language. You carefully open the second door and peer inside: You can see many candles, on the floor, on the rick...

Re: Anthony DeCarlo - Private Eye - At your service

As you pound on the door, you realize that the door was not really closed but the latch was slightly loose. The door swings slowly open… You can see a corridor. You see hooks on the wall with several coats and hats. Some shoes are strewn on the floor, a threadbare runner covers the floorboards. At t...
