The happenings between the Asylum and the Warwick have brought some enlightenment. As such the investigators follow new leads into the ever twisting miasma of the Kirby Asylum.

Posted: **Wed Jun 26, 2019 2:35 am**

Carl gathers his notes, as well as any witnesses who wish to accompany him, and searches for a judge who might be sympathetic to shutting down a dangerous institution and freeing a man being held unlawfully against his will. He has gotten to know some of the judges by now during his time as a Texas Ranger.

Posted: **Wed Jun 26, 2019 5:48 am**

The investigators decide it would be better to cover more ground if they split up and get a fresh start in the morning. For now they each have time to contemplate their current situation before the evening is over...

Posted: **Wed Jun 26, 2019 9:14 am**

Coach doesn't linger outside the hotel and it's damn 'management' for long. Having made up his mind to seek out the various local building contractors in the morning, he returns home and digs out a copy of the local directory, making note of their numbers and addresses.

For the first time in a long while, he also fishes out his old shotgun from it's place at the back of a cupboard. He cleans and oils it, making sure it still works before stuffing a box of shells into his sports bag.

"I hope I don't have to use it," he says to himself, "but I can't be sure I won't..."

And on that thought he settles down for an early night.

Posted: **Fri Jun 28, 2019 3:53 pm**

Joseph decides to accompany Carl. Perhaps some local judges may have had legal run-ins with the institution, and they can get a sense of what is going on there.

Posted: **Mon Jul 01, 2019 8:34 pm**

The gangster spent the rest of the evening at his home, shooting billiards and periodically meeting with members of his crew as they reported in on the day's happenings. Business had been relatively good that day. However, the incident at the casino and Betty's goons was still fresh on his mind. What exactly was that dame's game anyhow? He resolved to put out a few feelers to see if he could find out. Perhaps he could turn the tables on her next time. Finally, while the Wheel was off dealing with a family matter, Jimmy arranged for a new driver to take his place.

Posted: **Tue Jul 02, 2019 7:17 pm**

Jimmy finds that Betty is his competition in the area, however, her clientele is normally in the upper echelon of society.

Posted: **Tue Jul 02, 2019 7:21 pm**

Coach begins to ask about the construction project to remove the capstone and finds that no one remembers anything about it. He is relegated to Archival research.

Posted: **Tue Jul 02, 2019 7:38 pm**

Carl and Joseph have an interesting conversation with THE Judge of Harris County. He tells them unless there is hard evidence, anything that happens at the Asylum is only circumstantial at best. It would not be in his best interest to support such incredible accusations by signing a warrant. If it turns out to be nothing but a Ranger's active imagination he doesn't want to look like a fool. "Thanks for stopping by fellas. Next time, maybe we'll take a fishing trip. I'd like that. See you two sooner than later. I have to get back to business as usual..."

Posted: **Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:20 pm**

"Thank you, Your Honor," says Carl politely before leaving with Joseph. After they're outside, he speaks to him. "Well, that didn't work. It's a shame those photographs didn't develop, or that would have done it. If the testimony of multiple eyewitnesses to these injuries isn't enough for him, what will be? The only legal way to get the hard evidence he wants is to get that warrant, but we can't get it without having the hard evidence first."

Posted: **Wed Jul 03, 2019 8:42 am**

Coach sighs, well aware that he'll need to start poring through records and archives - something well out of his comfort zone. Upon reflection however, he decides that this whole business is out of his comfort zone and thus, with a shrug, he gets on with it.

He decides to seek out the local chamber of commerce first to see if they can tell him anything. After that he plans to head to city hall (or wherever the records are kept) to look for contracts, permits and planning applications for the work at the asylum.

Posted: **Thu Jul 04, 2019 3:29 pm**

"Maybe we can find a home address for Berger" Joseph tells Carl.

Posted: **Tue Jul 09, 2019 4:38 am**

"Yes, that's a good idea," says Carl. "His address is a matter of public record. We should see what else we can learn about his past too. He's up to his eyeballs in this."

Posted: **Thu Jul 11, 2019 5:13 am**

Ooc: Library use checks for Coach.

Posted: **Thu Jul 11, 2019 6:36 am**

Jimmy the Chin shot a glance toward Coach as the were driven to the City of Houston's Chamber of Commerce. The mobster figured they'd have the most success with the workers themselves, but he decided to follow his companion's lead for now.

"So you're going by the moniker of Coach these days, huh? You didn't really think everyone would forget about your past, did you? Those goons at the casino knew you straight away. You need to change your whole look if you're gonna ever be able to go incognito, especially in the circle I run in." he said to the former athlete.

OOC: A little behind my recreational activities of late. Hope to stay on track now though, guys.

Posted: **Thu Jul 11, 2019 1:35 pm**

Coach sighs, fixing Jimmy with a world-weary gaze.

"I've had the same conversation with myself buddy, but there comes a time when you've got to face up to what you've done, even if you get reminded of it now and then. I ain't gonna change for anybody - my players accept me for who I am, that's good enough."
Alas Coach is unable to root out any information regarding McBride or the building work at the hospital.

"Okay, maybe we should talk to the builders themselves again, with you with me, maybe they'll be more forthcoming."

Posted: **Thu Jul 11, 2019 8:49 pm**

Despite feeling like he's fumbling in the darkness,
Coach manages to find what appears to be some journal pages in a file which happens to fall out onto the floor. He manages to slip them into his sports coat and leave the Archives with them, undetected...

Posted: **Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:28 am**

The journal entries are from a Dr. Shrine. His notes are mundane except these.

Posted: **Fri Jul 12, 2019 11:26 am**

Coach leaves the records office and surreptitiously passes the papers to Jimmy.

"Hanging around with you is giving me bad habits, but I managed to filch these..."

"Looks like Dr. Shine had a big hang-up over that stone, as if it was kinda keeping the madness at bay. What's with all the mumbo-jumbo about a symbol? I gotta say the place sure gave me the creeps. Whether or not there's something weird going on this still points us in the direction of McBride and that building work."

Posted: **Fri Jul 12, 2019 2:11 pm**

Spot Hidden checks!

Posted: **Fri Jul 12, 2019 2:17 pm**

Posted: **Fri Jul 12, 2019 3:35 pm**

Of course!

Posted: **Fri Jul 12, 2019 3:39 pm**

Ok, I'll spend some luck then

Posted: **Fri Jul 12, 2019 7:21 pm**

Carl doesn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

Posted: **Sun Jul 14, 2019 8:10 am**

Joseph

Posted: **Tue Jul 16, 2019 2:29 am**

Jimmy the Chin was particularly amused by his companion's comment, though gave no indication of this other than a slight smirk as he received the sheets of paper from the other man. Given the former athlete's unscrupulous past, the gangster knew his influence was not to blame here. He gave the papers a quick glance and then stuffed them into his suit jacket's inner pocket.

"Do not mistake me for a common thief, Muldoon. I only go after the big scores." he retorted.

OOC: Wow, I had a good chance at 56% too. Oh well.

Posted: **Tue Jul 16, 2019 10:36 am**

Coach snorts.

"Hey relax, I'm just yanking your chain."

Posted: **Wed Jul 17, 2019 5:31 am**

Each of you feels as if someone is watching you. Yet, when you think you see someone out of the corner of your eye, you turn to find empty space. No one there. This happens more than once, though you do not discuss this with anyone, yet.

Posted: **Wed Jul 17, 2019 1:06 pm**

Coach shudders involuntarily and pulls his jacket collar up as if struck by a cold breeze.

"C'mon, let's go find these builders."

Posted: **Wed Jul 17, 2019 11:59 pm**

Carl rejoins the others to plan the next course of action.

Posted: **Fri Jul 19, 2019 2:40 am**

You manage to find an old African American man named Aaron who remembers the removal of the stone.

He produces a photograph:

It is a photograph of laborers kneeling by the water’s edge, holding fragments of a large stone disk. The fragments suggest a symbol of a flame bounded by the outlines of a star.

Posted: **Fri Jul 19, 2019 4:01 pm**

"Did you know Dr. Shrine?" Joseph asks Aaron.

Posted: **Fri Jul 19, 2019 7:59 pm**

When Coach gets the chance, he asks:-

"What do you remember of Andrew McBride? Did he ever start acting weird after the stone was broken?"

Posted: **Sat Jul 20, 2019 4:37 am**

Aaron:
Dr. Shrine...nah. McBride was off, but mostly mumbled a lot to hisself. He wouldn't hurt nobody. I...I, said too much. It's like we're in the eye of the storm. I hope you're strong enough to weather what's comin'.

He begins to sing:
https://youtu.be/BNj2BXW852g

Posted: **Mon Jul 22, 2019 5:47 pm**

Jimmy the Chin ignored the chill, besides, the gangster had nothing to worry about, his own men were watching his back after all. He directed the driver to take them to the next locale and then followed Muldoon as he approached the the African American individual. He reached out to snatch the photograph from the elderly man. Things seemed to be going fine at first, but then he started singing. Jimmy rolled his eyes.

"Look pal, stop that before I lose my temper. Tell us everything you know." he demanded.

OOC: @Umbral You want a Dex check to see if Jimmy grabs the photo?

Posted: **Wed Jul 24, 2019 2:43 am**

I think snatching the photo is more of a story element than a tactical move. No roll necessary.

The old man continues to sing, eyes closed...

Posted: **Wed Jul 24, 2019 10:39 am**

Coach doesn't much care for this kind of singing and he reckons they're not going to get much more out of the guy, however he hazards one last question.

"What happened to all those stone pieces in the photo?"

Posted: **Sat Jul 27, 2019 11:14 am**

The old man looks down at the rock he's been sitting on and begins to laugh...softly...then his laughter borders on the hysterical.
SAN:
Fail: 0
Pass: 1d4

Posted: **Sat Jul 27, 2019 5:17 pm**

Coach takes a step backwards.

"This whole damn town's a nuthouse..."

Posted: **Sat Jul 27, 2019 6:11 pm**

Spoiler:

Posted: **Sat Jul 27, 2019 6:19 pm**

Jimmy had taken a step forward and appeared as if he was about to rough up the strange man when he suddenly paused. He felt a little strange.

OOC: To confirm, that's a Sanity loss on the pass? Or fail as normal?

Posted: **Sat Jul 27, 2019 8:07 pm**

As soon as Coach finishes wisecracking he looks up again at the crazy guy in front of him. Eyes widening in terror he sees the figure for what it really is.

Mouth agape, he takes one, two, three more steps back.

"Sweet Jesus!" He yells.

Posted: **Sun Jul 28, 2019 8:19 pm**

As far as I read the posts, everyone is there.
A failure on the roll in this case means you don't have a clue as to what you are seeing. The Illusion has not been penetrated. Ignorance is bliss.
A pass on the roll indicates that you have seen through the façade. You are in full view of the Supernatural and full understanding of the implications to your own psyche and worldview. A small piece of your Sanity is given up to keep the whole intact.

Posted: **Sun Jul 28, 2019 8:24 pm**

OOC: This is an experiment on the flexibility of the system. The perspective of reality and the supernatural being blurred by forces of corruption and choas. A little unexpected. Things aren't always as it seems.
I won't do this again this adventure.

Posted: **Sun Jul 28, 2019 8:30 pm**

OOC: Hey no worries - experimentation is good. I'm just not used to losing SAN after passing a test, but it's all good: don't mind being thrown a curve ball as a player

Posted: **Sun Jul 28, 2019 11:22 pm**

Carl notices nothing unusual.

Posted: **Mon Jul 29, 2019 4:44 am**

Joseph Joseph jumps at Coach's yell, turning to look at him.

"What the hell's the matter, Coach?"

Posted: **Mon Jul 29, 2019 8:56 am**

"T-that thing!"

Coach stumbles backwards, fumbling for 'Betsie'. He holds it out at arms length, pointing it at the creature as if the baseball bat puts a thousand miles of distance between him and it.

"Can't you see? Squatting on what's left of the stone! A black demon! We gotta get away guys, we gotta get away!"

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2019 7:50 am**

“Easy Coach!” says Joseph. The older man is obviously spooked by something though.

“Let’s get out of here” he says, gently taking Coach by the arm.

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2019 7:25 pm**

"Yes, let's go," agrees Carl.

Posted: **Tue Jul 30, 2019 8:32 pm**

Coach needs no persuading and allows himself to be led away, staring in horror at the creature as he retreats.

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2019 6:40 am**

Jimmy the Chin's already fair complexion appeared almost devoid of all pigmentation whatsoever. What was more, the gangster had seemed to lose all interest in further threatening the vagrant. In fact, he really seemed quite keen on hightailing it out of there. He signaled to his driver to prepare the car for a quick departure.

"You'll get no argument from me. Let's get out of here." he said to the others.

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2019 3:55 pm**

When they are all away Joseph turns to Jimmy and The Coach, a mystified look on his face.

"Sorry but what the hell is up with you two? You both looked like you saw a ghost or something. What was it about that old guy?"

He looks directly at The Coach, trying to get a read on him.

Posted: **Thu Aug 01, 2019 8:44 am**

Once they are out of sight of the creature, Coach calms down a little.

"Didn't you see? It was as if... I dunno... as if my cap had been pulled from over my eyes and I could see what was really there. Not some old guy sat on a rock, but some horrible... demon I guess - leering at me from a fragment of that big stone we've been reading about. It felt as if there was - and this is crazy I know - magic there once."

He shakes his head as if waking up from a weird dream.

"Maybe I'm gonna wind up in that nuthouse, but that's what I saw - a monster squatting on a broken magic stone. And, to make myself sound even crazier, I think we need to put that stone back together again."

"Did you see it Jimmy?"

Posted: **Fri Aug 02, 2019 2:23 am**

Jimmy the Chin urged the others into the back of his car and then hastily seated himself directly behind the driver. He glanced out the back window and was relieved to see that the creature hadn't followed them. Muldoon had filled the others in on what he had seen, what they both had seen, but the gangster wasn't ready to believe it just yet.

"I ain't sure what I saw, Coach. All I know right now is that I need a stiff drink." he replied.

Posted: **Fri Aug 02, 2019 3:09 am**

"I didn't see it," says Carl, getting in the car. "Do we know what happened to the pieces of the stone disc after it was broken? Maybe we could put them back together with cement, but would that actually work?"

Posted: **Fri Aug 02, 2019 12:50 pm**

"I honestly don't know," Coach shrugs. "Maybe we could get a new one carved?"

Posted: **Fri Aug 02, 2019 3:54 pm**

Joseph is mystified. "What the hell is the stone for anyway? It's obviously important, but we need to know more about it."

Posted: **Fri Aug 02, 2019 6:16 pm**

Who have you investigated so far?

Posted: **Fri Aug 02, 2019 11:53 pm**

OOC: Jimmy has unsuccessfully tried to dig up personal information on the good doctor. It seems that he doesn't leave the place, ever. Jimmy also tried to have his men tail anyone leaving the hospital, an employee preferably. He figured they could bring the guy over for a little "chat". No word on how that's gone yet.

Posted: **Sat Aug 03, 2019 3:56 am**

Posted: **Sat Aug 03, 2019 6:52 am**

OOC: Yes we need to speak to McBride. Can we find out if Dr. Berger has a home address, as we said already?

Posted: **Sun Aug 04, 2019 1:34 pm**

OOC: To be honest, I've lost track of who've we've researched! Our library use rolls haven't been great

Posted: **Sun Aug 04, 2019 10:38 pm**

OOC: I'm pretty sure the doctor doesn't have a home address, or a family. I agree about trying to track down McBride.

Posted: **Mon Aug 05, 2019 2:48 am**

A Library Use roll will help you move forward.
However, I feel we should start using the bonus die in this instance, since you've already established your ability to access and use the available archived material.

Posted: **Mon Aug 05, 2019 3:08 am**

Carl easily finds what they're looking for in the archives.

Posted: **Mon Aug 05, 2019 1:50 pm**

Although still freaked out by the apparition, Coach also manages to find something after a little digging.

Posted: **Tue Aug 06, 2019 4:10 pm**

Joseph goes looking somewhere for more documents, but cannot find anything.

OOC: Library Use 31: Library Use: 1d100 39

Posted: **Tue Aug 06, 2019 9:45 pm**

Convinced that McBride was a solid lead to work, Jimmy the Chin assisted his associates with digging through the various archives in the city to uncover details on the man. However, it quickly became obvious that the made man was just not cut out for this kind of thing and that perhaps he was hindering their work more than helping it.

OOC: 64 or 94, both dreadful failures.

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2019 1:02 am**

As you are looking through the archives, you get the sense that you are being watched again. The basement has no windows, so when the lights flicker the sense of deep darkness is something you've begun to put to the back of your mind.

This time the lights flicker and do not reilluminate the chamber.
You look around in pitch black darkness, and you hear the lock on the door turn and click.

Dim lights slowly bring a lone figure into focus. McBride stands before you holding a heavy revolver in hand.

"I c..c..came here aimin' ta kills ya'" his thick Irish accent unmistakable.

"I’m Andy MacBride. They know I’m out and about. They want me to fix it so yous won’t come 'round the 'ospital na more.

B..B..But instead, I’m telling you what I shouldn’t. So you listen good!"

"There’s sumpin' terrible living ah da 'ospital. It’s always been there.

"It’s a p..p..power that lives in the walls...and the halls...and the gardens."

"Dr. Berger is going to sacrifice yer friend L..L..Larry to the thing at the next d..d..dark of the m..m..moon!"

"Larry don’t have much time!"

With that, the lights go dark and the door slams shut, then the normal, bright lights resume their normal flicker...

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2019 3:16 am**

“Dark of the moon?” queries Joseph. “When is that?”

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2019 4:23 am**

"The almanac will say," says Carl, finding a copy and looking up the date of the next new moon.

Posted: **Wed Aug 07, 2019 12:52 pm**

OOC: I assume that McBride is gone when the lights come back on?

Coach rubs his eyes at the sudden brightness.

"What the hell? Did I just imagine that? If McBride is right, we all need to go back to the nuthouse and rescue our pal pronto. Jimmy, reckon your boys are up to it?"

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2019 1:19 am**

"We need weapons" says Joseph. "You okay with that, Ranger?"

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2019 3:35 am**

"I'm okay with weapons in general," says Carl. "What use they're put to is what counts. As for breaking into the asylum, I'm not in favor of breaking the law, but I'm less in favor of Larry being murdered. One possibility is that I could wait nearby in the getaway car. If you're able to get him out anyone noticing, all well and good. If I hear any shooting or loud noises, I can rush inside, pretending to be responding to a crime. That will give me all the legal justification I need to enter. I can always say I was staking out the place when I heard the gunfire if I'm questioned about it later."

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2019 4:26 am**

Jimmy looked around with concern as the lights flickered, occasionally catching the gaze of one of his associates. The instant the lights failed completely, the gangster whipped out his revolver. When McBride suddenly appeared, he leveled the barrel at the man, but held his fire. His keen eyes noticed that the hammer on the other man's weapon hadn't been cocked back. Further, based on the quaver in the Irishman's voice, he was no killer. A moment later, he was gone just as quickly as he came.

"Could have bumped one of us off before he bit the big one, guess we's should be glad he's a coward." he said aloud as he re-holstered his firearm.

He turned towards Muldoon when he implied using his men for the raid. The truth was, he didn't even like Larry that much. He was only doing this as a personal favor for the Wheel, but he wasn't here no more.

"Hey look, I got a territory to protect. The most I could spare would be a couple of hatchet men and a driver or two. Even that's pushing it." he replied.

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2019 11:05 am**

"Sure, whoever you can spare." Coach shrugs. "I guess I owe Larry more than you do."

Posted: **Fri Aug 09, 2019 6:08 am**

A quick search in the almanac reveals that

"The Dark of the Moon refers to the period in the 29.53 day lunar cycle when the Moon is decreasing, getting darker or “waning.” The dark of the Moon is the period before the New Moon, or from full Moon to the New Moon, which lasts about 14+ days. So you can do your “Dark of the Moon” tasks during the day or night in this time period."

The dark of the moon, just before new moon is tomorrow night.

Posted: **Fri Aug 09, 2019 6:41 am**

“That doesn’t leave us much time” says Joseph. “Certainly not enough time to commission a new stone or repair the old one. It was obviously keeping this 'power' McBride spoke of in check. I can hardly believe any of it, but something isn’t right at that place.”

Posted: **Fri Aug 09, 2019 11:31 am**

"You're damn right." Coach strokes 'Betsie'. "We gotta go in mob-handed and deal with this crazy crap before we're too late."

Posted: **Sat Aug 10, 2019 4:21 am**

"It's not important whether we believe this power is real," says Carl. "The point is that Berger and his people believe it, and they're planning to kill Larry because of it."

Posted: **Sat Aug 10, 2019 6:46 am**

"Do we have enough evidence now to get the law involved?" Joseph asks Carl.

Posted: **Sat Aug 10, 2019 5:13 pm**

"All we have that we didn't have before is the word of an escapee from a mental institution," says Carl.

Posted: **Sat Aug 10, 2019 7:15 pm**

"Hardly concrete evidence huh? Like it or not, it's just gonna be us guys."

Posted: **Sun Aug 11, 2019 11:12 pm**

"We'd better get prepared then" says Joseph.

Posted: **Thu Aug 15, 2019 7:30 am**

Jimmy the Chin followed the path of the ongoing conversation as it drifted around among each of his associates. He was growing increasingly more disturbed by a few of the points the others raised, most particularly, that whole bit about there being a mysterious power lurking beneath the asylum. Sure such a thing could explain what he saw a short while ago, but he felt as if he was teetering upon a ledge, one that once fallen from would forever remain out of reach. This was a fall the made man was not sure he wanted to take. Sometimes ignorance truly was bliss.

"What do we uh... know about this stone anyway? You guys been talkin' like it's magic or something." he said.

Posted: **Thu Aug 15, 2019 8:10 pm**

"I dunno... When I saw that demon thing, I just got the feeling that the stone he was sitting on used to be magic, but it'd gotten kinda busted and the magic had all gone."

Coach shrugs, feeling uncomfortable.

"I guess it's what's left of that disk Dr. Shine wrote of. At any rate, I can't see us getting another one carved before tomorrow night."

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2019 4:09 am**

"No, but maybe we could get the original stone now that we know where it is," says Carl. "We might be able to put it back together with quick-drying cement."

Posted: **Fri Aug 16, 2019 7:36 am**

"Yes, that might work" thinks Joseph. "We should get on it."

Posted: **Sat Aug 17, 2019 2:55 pm**

You've only seen one piece of the whole stone. You would have to locate the other pieces if they even exist.

You also noticed a symbol on that stone.
Cthulhu Mythos
or
Occult

Posted: **Sat Aug 17, 2019 2:58 pm**

The symbol means nothing to Coach.

Posted: **Sat Aug 17, 2019 3:58 pm**

“Oh, we only have one piece! Guess that plan’s done with then” says Joseph, disappointed.

“Looks like we’ll have to go in the hard way.”

OOC: Occult 5; Occult: 1d100 91

Posted: **Sat Aug 17, 2019 11:36 pm**

"It looks vaguely familiar," says Carl, peering at the stone fragment, "but I don't think I've ever seen it before."

Posted: **Sun Aug 18, 2019 12:54 am**

As the disposition of the stone fragments and their recovery came up, Jimmy racked his brain in an attempt to contribute to the effort. Unfortunately, and quite unsurprisingly the gangster had no recollection of anything that may be of use. However, in his business, he understood the benefits of having specialists.

"We don't even know how many pieces the stone was broken into, but someone might. A local historian maybe?" he suggested.

Posted: **Mon Aug 19, 2019 8:03 pm**

"It don't mean squat to me, so I wouldn't know how to put it together even if we did have all the pieces. All we've got to go on is a photo given to us by a freakin' demon-guy. Yeah we could research, but we're hardly a bunch of Einsteins are we?"

Coach pats 'Betsie' before stowing the bat in his sports bag.

"'The old fashioned way' gets my vote."

Posted: **Mon Aug 19, 2019 8:29 pm**

It seems as if you will need to have a plan if you decide to rescue anyone from the asylum...

Posted: **Tue Aug 20, 2019 1:26 am**

"You sneaked in before, didn't you, Jimmy?" asks Joseph. "You think we could do it again?"

Posted: **Tue Aug 20, 2019 4:04 am**

"I already came up with my part in the plan," says Carl. "I can stake out the asylum early so that I'm already there when you arrive."

Posted: **Tue Aug 20, 2019 9:29 am**

"The place looked pretty secure, but perhaps we could find somewhere to sneak in? Failing that, could we get hold of some clothes that look like staff uniforms?"

Posted: **Thu Aug 22, 2019 4:06 am**

Staff uniforms were white smock and pants, black shoes.

Idea roll to see if Coach knows of anywhere nearby he can obtain white uniforms from.

Posted: **Fri Aug 23, 2019 12:14 pm**

Excellent! You remember that Woolworth's Downtown sells those uniforms.

Posted: **Fri Aug 23, 2019 1:50 pm**

“Hey, we can get uniforms from Woolworths!” Coach exclaims.

Posted: **Sat Aug 24, 2019 3:18 am**

"That's a great idea," says Carl. "For my part in the plan, though, it's best if I wear my Ranger uniform."

Posted: **Sat Aug 24, 2019 11:54 am**

“Okay, do you wanna scout around while we go buy some uniforms?”

Coach, and anyone else who wants to tag along, will drive to Woolworths to get some white uniforms.

"Let's go, Coach!"

Posted: **Sat Aug 24, 2019 4:39 pm**

"All right, I'll go there and get the stakeout started early," says Carl. "I'll stay off their property and just keep an eye on the place for now. That way I'll establish my presence there before anything happens. Who knows, maybe I'll happen to see something."

You easily find and purchase uniforms and shoes. OOC: What time if day/night do you plan to proceed?

HoneyDog wrote:"You've been quiet, Jimmy" observes Joseph. "What's your take?"

Jimmy the Chin appeared to be deep in thought, but he suddenly snapped out of it when the others seemed ready to mobilize. He made sure that he had the attention of each man before he spoke up.

"Look fellas, it hasn't been easy to come to grips with what we're up against, and I'm tellin' yas, we ain't prepared to fight no demon on his turf. Before all this, I'd be the first guy to suggest goin' in there with a bunch of heaters, snatch Larry and don't look back. I just don't think that's gonna do the job this time, and unless we smarten ourselves up in the next few hours we're gonna be in trouble." he said.

“Well we ain’t got much time until tomorrow night, so does anyone know any witch doctors or medicine men?”

Posted: **Tue Aug 27, 2019 3:45 am**

Carl shrugs. "Not my sort of crowd," he says. "We might want to talk to local Indians. Every tribe will have a medicine man."

Posted: **Tue Aug 27, 2019 4:01 am**

Joseph blows out his cheeks in frustration.

“What are we going to talk to these people about, if we can even find them? The notes we found say that the disc needs to be in place to stop whatever it is. The writer didn’t know where it came from, so how the hell can we find out in one damn day?”

He points at the others, his voice rising.

“And how the hell do we get Croswell and put the disc back at the same time? Forget about it for now! Let’s get Croswell! We have the uniforms, we can sneak in the same way Jimmy did before! Are you coming or are you gonna just carry on chewing the fat like a bunch of old ladies?”

Posted: **Tue Aug 27, 2019 10:10 am**

"Come on then, let's go." Coach grumbles. "We need to sneak in when the orderlies' shift changes or when they throw visitors out - that way there'll be more folks wandering around and we stand a chance of not being noticed. I'm guessing that'd be late afternoon?"

Posted: **Tue Aug 27, 2019 3:47 pm**

Joseph nods.

"I need to go home, and get some stuff first. Why don't we meet there later? The Ranger can scope out the scene first."

He looks at Jimmy.

"Can you lead us in?" he asks.

Posted: **Tue Aug 27, 2019 11:35 pm**

Ooc: waiting for Zero then starting a new thread.

Posted: **Fri Aug 30, 2019 6:26 am**

Jimmy the Chin paced about a bit as the others seemed hell bent on their plan of action. However, he couldn't shake the feeling that this was the wrong approach. Damn that hallucination he saw before, it was really messing with his head.

"Sure, my boys have had the place under surveillance long enough. Shouldn't be too hard." he replied to Joseph, then added, "But you's will have to excuse me for a bit. I've got some business to take care of first. One of my drivers take you where you need to go."

He started to leave, but then turned back and said, "Oh, and Coach... I wear a 42 suit jacket and my trousers are 36/33." With that, the gangster departed the room with one of his henchmen in tow.

OOC: Jimmy is gonna hunt down a local occultist or researcher. He wants some expert advice. If need be, he'll make an offer that individual won't be able to refuse. He may even forcibly recruit this person, with the assistance of a bodyguard or two of course. Willing to do this quick-like via PM or a few rolls in one of the threads. Don't want it to take up too much time.

Posted: **Fri Aug 30, 2019 12:15 pm**

You find that the person best suitable to help you is in San Marcos, 2 hours away.

Posted: **Fri Aug 30, 2019 12:28 pm**

OOC: That's fine. Guess Jimmy's gonna go put the bag on someone.

Posted: **Fri Aug 30, 2019 9:05 pm**

Hehehe

Posted: **Fri Sep 06, 2019 10:40 pm**

so what's the next step lads?

Posted: **Fri Sep 06, 2019 10:44 pm**

OOC: I think Coach and Joseph are dressing up in the uniforms and trying to sneak in during the next shift change. Carl was going to scout ahead and Jimmy planned to seek out local occultists and put the squeeze on them.

Posted: **Fri Sep 06, 2019 11:24 pm**

OOC: I think we were gonna have a Part 5 thread for that, yeah?
