CoC D20 "Dunwich Return to the Forgotten Village"

[Brother Shatterstone]

Jasper Bakemeier: (Male/Soldier 1)

Jasper files into Dr. Armitage office with the others and nods his head with a small smile to the good doctor in greeting. Jasper then moves to the side hoping that the good doctor wont call upon him while the Doctor and the intellectuals talk. Jasper tries to pay attention and finds some of it to be interesting but for the most part the conversation bores him and the more it carries on the more his eyes and thoughts wander over to the leggy Miss Rebecca.

Dr. Armitage sits back with a perplexed look and replies,

" Ah yes, so you too are interested in the Gottering map ! Its an excellent piece, fine detail of the area."

But then the fine Dr. pauses.....

" But this is odd, this is the third time someone's asked about that map today-and no ones asked about it for years. Oh yes, and if you are from the Vanguard Club, who is that group that arrived a few minutes ago and requested to see the map. I showed it to them, and they seemed quite delighted with it. Then asked about the geography section, and some of the library's Gottering notes. They must still be there in the map room because I haven't seen them leave."

Dr. Armitage stands, exits his office, makes a left, and opens the door to the Map Room. Upon entering the room you find several men and women ( 4 men, 2 women) standing around one of the tables, one is busy rolling a large parchment into a tube, while another is gathering numerous books into a sachel. Most of you recognize a man in a flashy purple suit as the man in red, Bobby Houston, who seems to be coordinating the effort. Jasper, Johann, and Patrick also recognize that 3 of the intruders are from Treasure Hunters INC. Bobby Houston and friends lookup in surprise when the investigators enter.

OOC: Surprise Round -Advantage Vanguard Club

The Maps and Charts Room of the M. U. library is a squarish room with a row of flat filing cabinets against both outer walls. There is only one way in and out, and no windows. The entire interior of the room is filled with several large circular oak tables. which will make maneuvering tight. The space in between tables will allow barely two people to pass, but the tables are only three to four feet high.

All of the Treasure Hunters look fit and tanned, clearly people used to action and adventure, and they're all wearing comfortable travel gear. They are obviously taking a threatening posture, hoping you will back off.

Johann

OOC-first time I've been able to access the boards since Friday -

When Johann sees the group stashing books in a knapsack and attempting to take a map, he begins to feel angry. So much knowledge has been lost becuase of looters and thievery over the centuries. Thefts from Egyptian graverobbers, looting of archeological sites for wealthly collectors, war, fire. These are heinous crimes to his eye, much like the Great War an attack on all humanity.

But he bites down his rage, and instead says ironically, "I hope you have your library cards. But please don't look for them now. Hands in the air, if you please."

He draws his pistol, readying to shoot if any of the group reaches for anything.

Rebecca begins to scream,

" Oh my God, they're drawing guns.Therrrreee goooing to shhhooootttttt!!!!!!!!!!!"

As she dashes down the hallway to the stairs.

Dr Armitage yells at Johann,

" Put that gun away before the police arrive, this is a public library, you must find an alternative means of retrieving those artifacts!!!!"

As he dashes down the hall, to catch rebecca and calm her down.

Jibril Rashad

Jibril moves forward until he is pressing directly against one of the tables, hoping to allow enough space for the rest of the team to maneuver around him if the need arises. As he does so, he speaks, nominally to Johann and Jasper, but it is obviously directed at the strangers, whom he regards the entire time, smiling broadly:

"That's all right, Gentlemen. I am sure that our colleagues here will be habee to share their findings with us. Before the bolice arrive. Before we must report not only a botential theft here, but also yesterday's burglary at the Vanguard club. I am certain that they realize that even a short brison stay, to determine the validity of our charges, would be all the head-start our talented groub would need in order to discover the temble before them. I am certain that they are aware how much easier things will be if they merely choose to cooberate with us for a few moments. Isn't that right, ladies and gentlemen?"

[OOC: Diplomacy/+8. Edit: Amended slightly to account for Jasper's actions, made before jibril's speech.]

Jasper Bakemeier: (Male/Soldier 1)

Jasper moves threw the door and to the side to give others a chance to move threw… He draws his gun with out hesitation… “I hope no one minds,” and with a slight movement of the gun so everyone knows what he stalking about. “Hands up drop to your knees and the first person not to do so I’m going to shoot them threw a knee cap. Oh and I have no issues shooting a lady.”

OOC: I would have gone first so their ya go..

Nick Oppenheimer

"What are you doing here? It seems rather blatant to commit such a crime in the daytime." Nick then takes up a position to provide cover from any combat that may ensue.

The tall lean man, with sandy brown hair who happens to be holding the cane containing the map responds:

" A crime you must be mistaken my lad, we've been hired to retrieve these articles. As for the supposed robbery at the Vanguard Club , we had nothing to do with that. But I can tell you this, we have no intentions on giving our goodies away, so as the good Dr. stated you better figure out an alternative way to retrieve them."

OOC: End of surprise round

Its quite obvious that these guys are going to give you one hell of a fight. You can hear Dr. Armitage trying to control Rebecca and the other secretaries in the background he is telling them,

"Don't call the police, I promise there will be no shooting. The Vanguard Club will handle this without gunfire"

OOC: Johann and Jasper its your move, the two of you move before THI.
