[D20 CoC] Beyond the Mountains of Madness - Chapter 1; Recruiting Alternate Players

[Drowned Hero]

Øyvind Raknes Sled Driver

"If you would be so kind, please confirm that the pemmican supplies for your dogs are in order. I believe that these supplies remain on the docks and must be quickly loaded onto the ship.

'Yes i will do that as soon i walk this dogs and i help out the lady downstairs' he walks towards the ladders taking them down one level...

"Ms. Bardier, she's down in the hold alone?"

'Yes yes, she is' 'any reason to be worried Dr.Moore? I see your look preoccupied' 'Lets go down Dr. and take one of those flashlights with you' he point to the table nearby and follows Øyvind down taking one of the dogs in his arms

Martin looks at his clipboard and wonders, "How in the hell am I going to check all of this alone?" He then sets off in search of Dr. Moore for some advice...

Martin enters the Ship's Mess in search of Dr. Moore, but doesn't find him there. Instead, he finds Moore's large wooden desk fully covered with neatly-stacked piles of receiving orders, invoices, handwritten checklists, and logbooks; three overburdened clipboards are hanging on the wall; and the professor's two moveable chalkboards are carefully positioned to provide maximum visibility from the gunmetal grey filing cabinet next to the desk, one drawer of which is open.

A calendar on the wall displays the month of September. Days one, two, three, and four have been "X'd" out and September 9th has been circled in bright red.

Upon hearing George's remarks, Moore shakes off his momentary look of concern and immediately regains a self-composed, analytical expression (or lack thereof), saying "I am merely interested that our pilot not injure herself before even departing New York City. Now let's go assist her, shall we?"

George Barrow looked at the Dr and raised his arm indicating that Dr.Moore was to go first down the ladder. Pulling up his map of the ship and taking a better look at it.

'Please Dr.Moore... you first' as much as George has gone dont to the lower holds he do not enjoy the darknes and the humidity of the place, and not talk about turning the corners as the first man. George had to admit to himself the place gave him the creeps.

Øyvind Raknes Sled Driver

Øyvind hears the chitchat of Dr.Moore with George as he moves his dogs to the next hatch going down to the lower hold transporting his dogs again...

Ha! George is scared again making Dr.Moore go first he thinks and shrugs what could possibly be a danger to him? there are few thing down there he lift one of the last dogs down the ladder to lower holds mechanical parts, humidity, rats, cockroaches, dirt and a pretty pretty lady...

"Very well, Mr. Barrow, let's make sure that this lower hold is ready for the aeroplanes", Moore said as he turned and picked up an electric torch from the small table, then walked over to the ladder. He grasped the metal ladder, leaned over the opening and yelled, "Miss Bardier! Are you alright down there?", then paused for a moment, waiting for a reply.

Martin tiptoes over to the filing cabinet and takes a quick peek in the open drawer. Perhaps there is something in there that will help him complete his manifest quicker...or not...

Martin tiptoes over to the filing cabinet and takes a quick peek in the open drawer. Perhaps there is something in there that will help him complete his manifest quicker...or not...

The file cabinet drawer contains numerous dark green folders of papers, each with a labeled tab at the top, each carefully marked in neat, small handwriting. The folders are in alphabetical order. This particular drawer appears to contain schematics and specifications for the U.S.S. Gabrielle; for example, folders thick with papers are entitled "Boiler", "Galley Ovens", "Main Engine", "Propeller Drive", "Radio", "Refrigerator Hold", etc.

But wait. You notice one folder tucked far in the back of the drawer, slightly separated from the rest, as if it was recently being examined and just returned to the drawer. The folder title is "M.U. Crew".

At that moment, you hear footsteps in the hall.

Martin quickly reaches into the folder and takes the papers within (and stuffs them into his pocket). He then turns nonchalantly towards the door...
