Masks of Nyarlathotep: Chapter 2 (London)

[Gomez]

Father O'Malley also pays close attention to teh man's words and attempts to discern if he is being honest with them or not... (in other words, I do a sense motive check as well, Sense Motive +10)

Father O'Malley [sblock] Sean feels that he is telling you the truth and that he genuinely like Elias. [/sblock]

Charles nods, smiling at Mahoney. "I see, thank you, sir. Would you happen to have any copies of the back issues which contained these stories? If so, I would like to purchase one of each, as well as your most recent publication."

 

[Gomez]

Mahoney digs through a stack of magazines. "Here you go. These are tha issues that ya are interested in. Don't worry about paying for them. As long as they help ya out is fine by me"

 

[Ashy]

Charles takes the issues, but politely insists on paying.

 

[Gomez]

"Suit yourself." says Mahoney as he puffs on his cigar. "If you do find out anything give me a ring! I will pay for any juicy story you can bring me."

 

[Ashy]

Charles nods and replies, "Certainly...", he then looks to the others and if no one has anything else to add or ask, he departs the establishment. Once outside, he asks, "So, shall we start checking on these leads, or some others?"

 

[Vendetta]

Through the whole conversation, Jack has stood silently in the back of the room trying to get a feel for the man before them. He listen to what the man says, studies the room around them, looks for any tale tell signs abou the man, any detail that he might be able to use to help him form an opinion. ((Sense Motive +7, Spot +4, Streetwise +8))

As the conversation dwindels down, Jack finally butts in. "We're new to the area... the three locations of those murders... do they have anything in common? Proximity? Perhaps you've got a map that we could look at. And... when Jackson was here, he did no other research? It is very important to figure out what it was he knew, you see. Very important. As well, were there any other murders in the approximate area of these three murders that maybe drew less attention? Finally, do you know which coroners did the work on the victims? I'd like to talk to them."

 

[Gomez]

Jack: [sblock] Jack instinctively like Mahoney. He appears to be an street savvy and tough individual who speaks his mind. [/sblock]

Let me see. I have a map of London around here somewhere. Oh here it is." Mahoney hands you a Street map of London. Go ahead and keep it. I know my way around here like the back of me hand." He spreads the map on a table and points out the three locations mentioned in the stories. "Other than they are all in London, they do seem to all be tourist or public places."


OOC: Sorry about the map size. But it was the best I could find. It maybe a bit too big but it is a 1926 map!

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Hmph. Well at least the man can do something other than drink, be boorish, and wave a gun around, Miriam thinks in reluctant admiration of Jack's questions.

"Very curious," Miriam says to Charles. "Two men, presumably Egyptian, were killed, with probably more that weren't reported. And then the odd incident with the fog... I wonder if there's a connection with that cult Jackson was investigating... Ah, but let me ask something before I forget.

"Mr. Mahoney, I don't suppose you know where the Penhew Foundation might be?" Miriam turns and speaks in a more normal tone.

 

[Ashy]

Charles nods, "If Elias was interested, we can be assured of some connection, however vague... And the fog intrigues me as well. I will need to do some checking into my books as soon as we return to the hotel. There are endless tales about the fogs in the moors of Scotland and Ireland, and a few in London as well, but this one has a different tone to it..." The scholar slips off into contemplation.
