1936 - Pulp Heroes

[Mirth]

Once bound, while waiting for Tall & Neat to come to, Jack surveys the hotel room, searching for the obvious and the less so...

[sblock=OOC]Just a reminder, I have the Find Clues feat from d20 Past.[/sblock]

I thought a round was the equivalent of a minute. My bad....

Jack finds a piece of paper that has an address and a name written in it. The address points to London and the name says Dr. Murray. Also checking the thug's pockets you find a journal, a letter and a ticket to RMS Queen Mary that leaves in april 22nd to England (that is two days from now). Quick glance through the journal reveals it to be Dr. Ivanov's research journal.

The letter reads:

Check Ivanov's hotel-room and get everything relating to his work, especially his journal. Here's a ticket to a ship. Meet me on the second evening of the journey at midnight in the Observation Bar.

The Hand

Elizabeth goes to the washroom and comes back with an ice-bucket full of cold water. She cheerfully dashes it into the face of their bound captive and waits for the shock of it to wake the would be bad-guy up.

Jack pockets the journal and the ticket and then turns to the smokestack, "Eddie, right? Look, before I share this," he holds out the note and the letter, "I've got to have your word that you won't print anything until it's done. Agreed?"

Assuming Eddie says yes, Jack hands him the papers first, "None of that secret G-Man stuff, see?" He then turns to the rest, "Looks like we're going to London."

[sblock=OOC]Would Jack know of either Dr. Murray or The Hand?[/sblock]

Would Jack know of either Dr. Murray or The Hand?

No idea about Dr. Murray but for The Hand I rolled you Knowledge Arcane check and rolled pretty good. Doompriests are a russian secret society that tracks down and retrieve mystical items. Quite much like MIB but without government support. The Hand is title of mid-rank agents and they use only their title when communicating with anyone outside the order.[/sblock]
EDIT:[sblock=Elizabeth]You also know the above[/sblock]

 

[Mirth]

In that case...

Jack then turns to the Princess, "After we shake down this goon, we better make that diversion to see your father ... it seems the Doompriests are involved."

Eddie agrees and takes the note. Of course he'll print what he wants when he wants, but admitting it would hardly get him anywhere. And if the man was willing to take a reporter's word for anything, well that was his fault, wasn't it?

"The Hand?" he says, more to himself than the others. Then his ears perk, "Doompriests?"

OOC: Would Lotka know any of this? I thought if he is russian...

OOC: Would Lotka know any of this? I thought if he is russian...

Nope. It's a mystical secret society so it requires Knowledge Arcane Lore to know anything about them. He might have heard the name in russian whispered somewhere sometime, but he couldn't associate it with anything .[/sblock]
