January 07 - Paris - Bois de Vincennes (Whole group)

A puzzling headline begins a front-page article found in the Times of London. Three men, all identical in identification, were found dead in the same room of the Chelsea Arms Hotel. Then the home of a valued friend burns to the ground, severely injuring him in the process. It is the beginning of "Horror On The Orient Express" a European campaign set in the winter between January and March of 1923. Over the course of the campaign, the investigators are trying to collect the various pieces of an ancient statue called the Sedefkar Simulacrum. Night falls early then, and each night is long and cold. The campaign is made up of 11 scenarios, taking place in seven nations, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Italy, The Kingdom of Serbs Croats and Slovenes, Bulgaria, and Turkey. All are stops on the path of the Simplon-Orient Express.

Clarence shrugs, somewhat disappointed. He rolls up the spell and puts it safely in his inside jacket pocket.
“Then there’s these.” He opens out the architectural plans. “We found them in the same room. I think it’s likely that Jaques was the thief at the library.” He points to the basement on the plans.
“And there’s a cellar here I think would be worth exploring- if only we could find the building. Do you think it’s worth talking to local land agents who might recognise it from these plans?”

'If the location of the house is still unclear, perhaps a little trip to Poissy to question the locals is in order?' asks Andrew. 'If they don't know what happened to the count's house they might recognise its...unique style.'

"Yes, perhaps a land agent might know. Or we could ask someone one of the local reporters, police, or whatever Paris has for a mail service. All of those may have come across the house in their lines of work."

"Excellent ideas," says Felicity. "I could talk to the reporters. They love me. Can't say as I blame them."

Clarence shakes his head, he just can’t adjust to the modern woman.

'Poissy must be ten or twenty miles,' says Andrew. 'Shall we call a cab?'

“Absolutely. I’ve had enough of trains for a bit.” Clarence agrees.

Archie nods in agreement, grinning darkly at the train reference. "Let's take a cab this time."

'Unless the Paris cabs don't go out that far,' says Andrew.
