[QUOTE="talien, post: 5559030, member: 3285"] [b]Flesh for Eihort: Prologue[/b] Hi Black Cat! The area is technically the Severn Valley ([url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severn_Valley_%28Cthulhu_Mythos%29]Severn Valley (Cthulhu Mythos) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url]) and the majority of which is in Cold Print. Sounds like you had an excellent time! And as a thank you for reminding me that this thread still exists, it's time for an update! ============================== LOWER BRICHESTER, ENGLAND—Hammer stood before the Strapping Lad Pub's entrance. Jim-Bean looked askance at the sign. "This isn't a gay bar, is it?" Hammer didn't dignify him with a response. "Stay here," he pushed through the door. Nobby, the proprietor, merely pointed to Cornwell's favorite booth. Hammer followed his finger. The normally dapper and cool Cornwell looked unnerved. His eyes were bloodshot and two beer glasses stood empty before him. "So th' time's come, mate. I need ya to do somethin' fer me, and in exchange I'll do somethin' fer you." Hammer slid into the booth. "Oh?" He tossed a manila envelope onto the table, hard enough that some of the contents slid out of it. Hammer caught sight of a pale white arm, splayed on pavement. Cornwell answered the unasked question as Hammer sifted through the envelope's contents. "My brother, Gerald." The picture was of a man in his forties, stripped to his waist. Gerald was bleeding from a head wound and also from several long cuts that formed odd brackets in his chest. His eyes were wide open, dead. His nose had the telltale veins of a lifelong alcoholic. "He was ambushed in the street?" "Around here," said Cornwell darkly. "Gerald may have been a broken down drunk but he's still – he was…" he chewed on a few words to gain his composure, "…my brother. And I'll not let this go unanswered." "And you want my team to do this," said Hammer. "Aye, I do," said Cornwell. "And I'll give you the tools to do it. That symbol," he tapped an image that zoomed in on the cuts, "is the work of a cult, I'm sure. If it's the work of one man then I want you to bring him to me. If it's the work of a larger group then ye tell me where they are and I will treat them like any gang." Hammer nodded. He knew how Cornwell dealt with rival gangs. "How did he die?" "It's all there in the coroner's report," said Cornwell, impatient with Hammer's questions. "Cause of death was due to a fractured skull and internal bleeding.

I got plenty of muscle to do that, don't you worry." It sounded like a threat. Hammer got up to leave. "One more thing. They found soil traces on Gerald's body. He may have been underground at some point prior." "Of course," said Hammer. "That's how it starts." As he left, Cornwell ordered another drink. [/QUOTE]
