IC: Ch 4g. Off to find the Records, Eddie, Scott and Richard

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.

IC: Ch 4g. Off to find the Records, Eddie, Scott and Richard

Post by BenTheRat »

The 3 of you get into one of the cars and Leave the Square.

You can head down Pleasent Street towards the Woods house, where you are staying. Or.
You can head down Main street.

As the automobile slowly winds it way out of the wharf, Scott watches the procession of buildings and faces drift by his window.

"Say Eddie," he chirps up, glancing at Eddie's figure behind the car's wheel, "why don't you take a left up here on Main Street? I thought I saw a place called Memorial Hall when we passed by earlier. If that's not where they keep the records around here, it's a safe bet someone in there knows where they do."

"Yeah, that makes sense, Scott," says Eddie, turning left onto Main Street and looking for Memorial Hall. "I don't know what they're talking about regarding the stars. I only know what we were told about the one that fell here."

You pull in front of the Memorial Hall. You can see it here.

As you walk into the hall you see a rather thin man. His hair is still blonde but you can see a lot of gray in the straight hair. He is sitting in a rather comfortable looking arm chair. The hall is adorned with paintings of men in uniforms. There is a door on the back wall. The man was reading a book. As you walk in, he holds up a finger and continues to read his book for a second longer, and then carefully marks the page, and sets it down on a table next to him. His hand is visibly shaking. He then looks over to you, "Good afternoon gentlemen, how can I be of service to you."

"Good afternoon." Scott says, feigning admiration for the surrounding portraits. "We from out of town and could use a bit of help. You see, we're looking for where the town keeps it's public records. Could you possibly point us in the right direction?"

"That would be the town-hall on Broadway. You boys look lost." he says.

Richard is looking around the room taking in all of the paintings trying to keep his face away from the man's direct view and say's "Well we are from out of town, this is our first trip here. We are doing some history checking on the Red Barn out on the dock out there, you know that it is one of the most commonly painted buildings in all of America? We are trying to dig up some history on the building and are trying to find the records of the building and all of its owners"

"Not much to look up, it may not even be in the records. Been around almost 100 years I guess. Built by old man Bradley along with the Wharf in the 1800's. Dryver owns it now. It came with the business I guess," the gentleman answers. "It was originally just built as a fishing shack, which is why it might not show up in the town records." The gentleman pulls out a cigarette and lights it up.

"And just what business does Dryver own?" Scott inquires with interest. "That is, if you don't mind me asking."

"He bought out the Bradley Brothers shipping, if you went to see the barn, you probably walked right by it. He bought out the Bradley boy about 5 or 6 years back, but I heard he won it in a card game also." he smiles.

"Interesting." Scott says offhandedly, rubbing this chin. "Do you know much about this Dryver? Is he a local?"

Scott's eyes narrow momentarily as he attempts to discern the man's motives for being so forthcoming.

However, he's unable to read anything in the face before him and quickly returns to an easy smile.

"Where are my manners?" he quips, including a gesture of faux-exasperation before offering a handshake to the man. "Scott. I don't believe I caught your name? So Dryver must be a pretty successful fellow to be acquiring businesses..."

"No problem. Colonel Hall at your service sir." he stretches out his hand but doesn't stand up. His handshake is very firm and his hand rough.
"And that's why I think he won the business through a card game, or someone loaned him the money. His family never had any."
ooc,make a spot hidden and history check.

"A pleasure to meet you Colonel" Scott says, rubbing some of the feeling back into his hand. "Real nice community you have here. Real scenic town. Say, you wouldn't know where I could get hold of a map, would you? I was thinking about heading up to Pigeon Cove a bit later. Heard there's some intriguing history that had to do with that spot."

Scott,you recognize the name, if it is the same Colonel Hall. You know a Colonel Hall who was a young Captain during the Spanish-American war and was the hero in the invasion in Cuba. And was a Lt.Colonel during the 100 days offensive that helped win WW-1. He was instrumental in changing the tactics used by the US forces of frontal charges that got so many young men killed in France. The man in front of you is a living war hero.
"Not sure on the maps," Colonel Hall said. "Something about a printing error, not sure. Anyway, to get to Pigeon Cove just go up Main, onto Beach street, and that turns into Granite Rd. Can't miss it. Why would you want to go up that ways, if you don't mind me asking?"

A dim gleam of recognition starts around Scott's eyes before slowly metastasising across his face. The sense memory came flooding back to him. The stench of the trenches that seemed to linger in his nostrils for years after the war's end. The terror that had claimed so many nights of sleep, and to some extent, still did. Scott was acutely aware that this man's efforts had if not saved his life, likely at least saved some of his comrades from a grisly end.

"We...uh..." the words collided and halted in his throat momentarily, before Scott continues on. "...we're actually in town looking for an old friend. The fellow had a thing for the occult and apparently there's that house up on Pigeon Cove that's mixed up with witchcraft and some such bunk. Seemed as good a place to start as any."

The Colonel abruptly changes his outward demeanor. "I don't think I can help you, good day." He picks up his book and opens it.

Richard turns and looks at the man as his attitude towards the group changes taking the old man in.

He then ask "So do you know Dr Tupper? Any idea where we could find him?"
"Beneath this mask there is more than flesh, Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr Creedy, and ideas are Bulletproof"
