IC: Ch 4f: The Gangs all Here

August 1921, Boston.
A dead guard at the abandoned chapel, a stolen statue revealing strange numbers and a burnt postcard. A strange night sighting by a Harvard professor only 2 days later has led to too many coincidences to ignore.
Dr. Chambers is forming another MAPS team, and you have been called.

IC: Ch 4f: The Gangs all Here

Post by BenTheRat »

All of you are now standing on the wharf in front of the red building. You are on the West side.

Image

There are 2 large barn type doors in front of you and 1 smaller normal sized door built into one of the barn doors. You can see most of the painters from where you are standing.

Along the right side of the building is the south side. (it is the main side shown in the picture) It has 2 windows and 1 door.

Along the left side of the building is the North side, the painters cannot see you if you are on that side. There are 2 windows and no doors.
ooc,all of you may make a listen check if you want to.

Scott exchanges brief pleasantries with the new arrivals before falling momentarily silent to see if he can't detect any unusual sounds eminating from the building.

"M--My hammer is for personal protection." Norman states simply, as if a hammer could possibly fend off a Cyclops or who knows what else. Still, it's helping him keep his anxiety in check.

He gives a brief nod to the new arrivals but says nothing, once again nervously fiddling with his glasses. He stops mid motion when he hears something.

Norman,you can hear the clanging noise. It seems to clang when the wave rolls in. It sounds like it is coming from the north side of the building.

"I hear it!" Norman excitingly exclaims. "Whenever the wave rolls in, an odd clanging comes from the north side of the building."

"It could be anything. But something odd is going on."

"Perhaps it's just out of politeness for the painters today, if evidence should change however," however the disturbance escapes Alyssa's attention. "Well, it's always a pleasant surprise to see you all here, how did you all manage to arrive coincidentally?"

The other children cheered him on. His name voiced in a steadily rising pace, urging him to do it. “Am I really doing this?”, the young boy thought and struck his victim with a rock.

Richard walks to the North side of the barn and watching the waves rolling in to time them, with there timing down he clears his mind, closes his eyes and listens for the sound the other have described.
Listen roll,[dice]0[/dice] chance was 58% so this is a success
As he hears the sound he tries to focus on weaather out not it is coming from inside the barn or from underneath the barn.

"Well, I was heading here with Scott and Norman already," says Eddie. "We've been looking around this whole time. Everyone did know we would be here - except for Warren, who left early."

"Well, I suppose I should know better—better then this," as Alyssa's cheeks flushes with each word given their full measure. "We found the name of our mysterious painter. Howard Smith. His last known location was here in Bearskin"

Warren Kaine:

For a moment I hear the sound of something mettalic from somewhere beneath the structure. I can tell from Richard's expression of concentration that he has heard it too. As he moves toward the North side, I follow slowly.
"So what do you think?"

Warren,It is tough to see as it is below the waterline, but there is what looks like a large thick metal plate bolted to the stones of the wharf. One corner appears to be loose and as the waves crash in, the metal plate is pushed against the rock making the noise. You can just make out the top of it. Make an idea roll.

Scott notes the look of concentration on Warren's face.

"What is it Warren" Scott inquires.

Warren,each time the waves roll in, the water gets lower, you think at low tide its possible a large portion of the plate will be visible.
