Masks of Nyarlathotep: Chapter 1 (New York City)

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"We're friends of Mr. Elias, he asked us to come here at 7, and when we did, we found him like this... and three men, two Negros and a while man escaped out the fire escape. They had a bloody knife with them," Miriam speaks up quickly, her face still pale.

 

[Maerdwyn]

"Each of them had a knife, " Jibril puts in. "They drove off in a black Hudson - New York state - NYL7. I got down there in time to see them get in the car, but couldn't stop them driving away."


ooc: I'm off to vacation, so please feel free to ghost Jibril. He'll be as helpful as he can with the police, and will head off to research what he's asked to research afterwards.

Father O'Malley jumps as the police storm into the room with their guns raised. He looks at them both, then at the older of the two. it takes a moment, but he recognizes the man.

"Easy Patrick, It's me, Father O'Malley...from St Fracis'. As Ms Legou says, We came here on an invitation from Jackson Elias." He points to the body.

"We go to the door and heard a scuffle inside and asked the maid to let us in, as we were worried for our friend. We didn't mean to disturb your crime scene, but between trying to grab the assailants and making sure Jackson was not still in need of medical attention, well, I guess we rather messed things up. as Jibril here said, we have a description and license plate number for you. We'll be more than happy to cooperate in any other way you need us."

OOC: If knowing the NPC was out of line, please feel free to change it. I just figured it was a strong likelyhood and made a fun twist.

"Father O'Malley! I thought I recognized you.” says the older cop. "Three men you say? Looks like some pretty nasty work." He goes over and looks at Jackson's body. He gives out a long whistle and turns to the younger cop. "Kelly, go call the station and get some help down here, quick! And make sure to let Lieutenant Poole know that we have another one for him."
He turns to look at your group. "If you would just wait here until we get some m ore police. We will have to get a statement from you all."

OOC: (Yangnome) I don't mind the ad lib at all! Great idea!

"By all means, we'll answer any questions we can. And yes, there were three men. well, three that we saw, there could have been more already on teh fire escape or down in the car. What do you mean by 'tell Lt Poole we have another one for him?' Have you seen any other murders similar to this one recently? "

Patrick, the older police man looks at Father O'Malley for a second as if he is thinking over something. "Well, Father, to tell the truth. Over the past couple of years, I there has been several murders just like this." He points to Jackson's forehead. "Some sort of devil worshipers, I think. You'll have to ask Lt. Poole about it. He has been handling the cases."

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

"We may just have to do just that," William says. He looks at the others as if to ask whather they should ask the police about any of the places they've found out about...

I don't know if a roll's necessary for that.

 

[Gomez]

Just then a couple more policemen enter the room. "Good. Take this people down to the lobby and get their statements." says the older cop. "And after that have them wait. I think Lt. Poole will want to talk to them." He turns to you. "Please follow these police officers."

Unless you have anything further to ask him, you are taken down to the lobby and questioned.

 

[yangnome]

*bump*

 

[Gomez]

Once down in the lobby, you notice the place is packed with excited hotel guests and policemen. You give your statements to the police and then are told to wait in the lobby. After about 30 minutes, a man comes up to you and introduces himself.

"I am Lieutenant Poole, I just ask you a few more questions. How well did you know Mr. Elias and why where you meeting him here tonight?"
