The Amherst
Those of you who are familiar with the official BMoM campaign may notice that the Amherst Hotel that I've outlined is different, intentionally, in a number of respects. This is one area--there will be a number of others--where I've taken a few liberties. I'm hoping that any BMoM fans in our audience will find these changes not only acceptable, but worth coming along for the ride.
As a sidenote, I'll be travelling this weekend for a family gathering in RL and will not be posting the start of the Fundraiser until Sunday night or early next week.
I will assume that all characters will have made their way to the Amherst in time for the Fundraiser. Camille and Annie will need to somehow find their way into that event (i.e. this will take some actions and roleplaying posts).
I also plan to make a post about the motorized toboggans, that there will be two new ones coming and (perhaps) two used ones. Bobitron, I believe that there is a chance that you'll find 2 used ones for the expedition. Please roll a d3 using Nakada's Dicebox (http://www.nadaka.us/DiceBoxDB.asp?Page=Add): 0 = no used toboggans found; 1 = one used toboggan found; etc.

Taokan's Arrival
Taokan,
Your character's notice of the Fundraiser was nicely done!
It fits with the story and prepares Camille for the actions needed to crash that event.
Meeting with Starkweather will not be easy. None of the hotel staff will tell you which room he resides in and you will not easily be able to make your way there. It can be done, and it will be impressive if you pull this off. Tell me your actions and I will tell you how the Hotel staff reacts.

Well, how could I resist using Starkweather's obvious attempts to gain publicity against him? 
I will put some thought into this, but I have three ideas for now, that I will consider and/or reject as time goes on.
1) Attempt to get a housekeeper's position specifically so she can get to Starkweather's room 2) Simply lay in wait out the lobby for Starkweather as he comes and goes - when not sleeping in her room <I prefer this one>
3) Pull a few strings to get hired as a maid/pose as a university student to sneak into the gala
(I suspect Camille half wants to go to this just to see Starkweather's expression when she hands him her letter)

Just for the record, jdeleski, Franz Weissner didn't pioneer climbing in the 'gunks until '34 or '35 - I took a little creative license there. 
I still need to update Paco's character sheet to include his ski bindings and reduce his cash on-hand to cover the cost of his trips - he's also carrying a note drawn on the Banco de Santiago to cash for when he gets the chance, once his small stash of American dollars runs out. He'll be sleeping rough in the 'gunks, so he can get by 'til he gets back to the City.
