Alyssa and Olsen

Post by kabukiman »

The trip takes less than 1 hour. The lanscape turns melancolic: swamps, small dwarf trees and no signs of any house. It's like you wqere entering in a completly new state. Olsen who isn't exactly the most loquatious man, seems a bit depressed (or worried with his man?).

During the ride, Alyssa had told Luke Olsen the details of everything she had learned in the library. Now she sits with the maps of Innsmouth and the surrounding area, helping to steer a course to Innsmouth. "This place sure is a dump," she says, staring out the window. "You'd think with the gold mine they're supposed to have they could afford better, but maybe it was tapped out a long time ago. We could try looking for Zack around the warehouses near the harbor. Jack said if we just look around we'll find him eventually. He might have seen where they've taken Manuel. We could also try talking to Rebecca Jones first. She probably doesn't know what happened to Manuel, but she should be a good source of information about Innsmouth and at least we know where to find her: she lives in the house next to the ancient Congregational church, near the center of town. It might be a bit late to call on her tonight, but we could try her place first. Otherwise it'll only get later and we'd probably have to wait until morning. It might be best to see her at night, actually. Less chance of being seen by the locals. They already don't trust her, and if she were seen talking to us it might cause all of us problems."

-It is better that we go first to the warehouses looking for the old man. We can always tell that we were lost and asking for some informations.
Finally the town. It is really decrepit. Houses in bad shape, others in complete ruin. It is very late, so you don't see anyone in the streets. You pass what it must be the center, and arrive at the docks, with some old warehouses.

"All right," says Alyssa. "Let's just drive around the warehouses and keep our eyes peeled for him. We might also meet up with your crew in this area. When we find old Zack, we might want to offer him a bottle to help loosen his tongue." She peers out the window as the truck drives through the darkened alleys, looking for anyone in the shadows or doorways, but it's too dark for her to see much.

"Okay," says Alyssa, "but do you actually want to get out and walk? I think we can cover more ground by driving around, and if we run into trouble we can get away faster if we're in the truck."

Alyssa continues to watch out the window as the truck continues among the warehouses. She is in luck, and very observant.

She sees an old man singing, probably drunk. He is quite old, and have a normal look; by the description, it is the man they are looking for.

"Stop the truck, that's him," says Alyssa, pointing out the old man. "Let's get out and talk to him. We should bring a bottle and some money." She tries to make out the words of the song old Zack is singing, her keen hearing picking them out.

A new world discovered, like a waiting lover, willing to fulfil a fantasy
Dark sky falling, far away from home


It's an old sailor song. Olsen stops the truck near the old man.
-Let's go then.

Alyssa walks up to the old man along with Luke Olsen, a smile on her face. "Good evening, sir," she says. "Might we have a few minutes of your time? Are you Zack? We met an old friend of yours in Arkham who said you might be able to help us."

"That's right, we're from Arkham," says Alyssa. She lets him get a good look at her face. "You don't really think we look like the people around here, do you? I'm Miss Alyssa Valentine and this is Captain Luke Olsen. We met a man back in Arkham who said his name is Jack. He used to live here and told us he knew you."

-Yeah, I remember him. Left the town some years ago. And your pretty! Just like the girls when I was young, not those fish girls we have now.

"Why, thank you," says Alyssa. "The reason we're here is that three men from Innsmouth came to Arkham and did some awful things. A Portuguese sailor named Manuel, one of Captain Olsen's crewmen, won a dagger gambling and sold it at a shop in Arkham. These men kidnapped Manuel, and they also broke into the shop and stole the dagger. Here's a picture of it that belonged to them." She shows him the painting of the dagger. "They went by the names Jim, Jack, and Brad Gilliam. They carried Manuel out in a large sack and drove away in an old Model T this morning, and we think they must have come back to Innsmouth. Jack thought they might have locked him up in one of these warehouses, but we need to find and rescue him before it's too late. We've heard about some of the terrible rituals they do here. Did you see anything that might help us find out where he's being kept?"

Alyssa kneels down to help Zack, careful not to get any of the vomit on her, but she doesn't know what she can do for him and hopes he is just drunk. She looks up at Luke. "Can you do anything for him?" Then she returns her attention to Zack. "Gilliam probably wasn't their real name. It might be Gilman. Are you going to be all right?"

-Some water in his face should be enouth and a good night of sleep. But we can't afford it.
-I'm ok, just need a drink to get better- he says, cleaning his mouth with the hand- so, what were you asking about? Gilman? Probably, but they weren't smart enouth to create a complete new name. The Marsh use 3 member of that family, I don't remember their names, When they need some muscle job. They a bit dumb, but they just look weird and not complete abnormal like others of the family (more vomit).

"That sure sounds like the same three guys," says Alyssa, helping Zack back on his feet and supporting him - from behind, so his vomit doesn't land on her. "Captain, have you got any water for him?" She addresses Zack once again. "Maybe it was Marsh who gave them the false name to use, since they're not clever enough to think of it on their own. They sure were foolish, leaving clues that pointed right back to them - and to Marsh. We even found pieces of a letter that they failed to completely destroy instructing them to obtain the dagger, signed with the initials R.M. I'm sure the M is for Marsh, but I don't know which members of the family have first names starting with R."
