Graveyard Investigation(continued)

[Note : the mausoleum I am referencing are like the ones you see in the Buffy TV series]

The graveyard is on a medium size property with the only two buildings are a mausoleum on the northwest corner of the property while on northeast sits another mausoleum. You can tell as you walk thru the graveyard that Bruce actually keeps the graveyard maintained quite nicely. As you get closer to the northwest mausoleum, your evil sense starts to tingle and as you get to actual building, the sense is pronounced. Now you know that there is nobody left because you know Bruce would have removed them when he left for the evening but still you get that feeling like something is here.

You also start noticing the police tape everywhere so you take your time making sure that it looks like it has not been tampered with but you do finally get the door open. Once you open, that’s where the stench of death hits you like a freight train and you see blood stains everywhere. Right next to wear the casket is stored, you see the ghostly image of young man probably in his 30’s who sees you and says “help me”.  You can tell that this is not where the evil comes from you but most likely the ghost of the person that was murdered here. As you continue to watch him from afar, he says again “help me. Find him and avenge me!” After he says the last word, he finally fades away into nothing.

You can tell from the looks that this is probably the lowest level of demon just because most demons do not want to be found so they are careful in what they choose to go after for food. Now mind you, not every demon is evil because you have ran across a couple that you actually did not slay, this one was not even close to be careful. Most likely he possessed the man enough to get a physical latch onto our plane and then as he took control of him more, he was able to pull his physical body to this plane. Once here, it knew it had to feed so he had the perfect host.

After a couple of minutes in here, you had to leave just due to the stench having even you scrambling for good clean air. Your next destination is the underpass of the highway to your east. As your start to walk that way, you notice over at the Exxon at a car that has just pulled up. It looks like an older car with two men who are looking around maybe look like they are casing the convenience store.

Update #1 : Graveyard Investigation

He looks in your direction as he is unlocking the gate to leave and asks “Can I help you?” which Stanley replies, “Hello, Mr. Reemer. My name is Stanley. I’m a freelance journalist investigating the body that was found here. If you have a few minutes, I’d like to ask you a couple of questions. For the story I’m writing.”

Bruce Reemer looks at you and raises his eyebrows when you mention that you are an independent journalist. I see that you like everyone must be hear about the incident that happen here the other night with poor Johnny.  All I can says is that it happened in one of the small tombs(sp?) over in the northwest corner of the graveyard. You can look if you want to even though there still is police tape all over the place.

When you ask for a description, he goes pale almost like your skin and he looks at you saying “The most gruesome thing I have personally seen. It looks like some almost ripped the person in two and then started to eat what was left”

At this moment you can tell that Bruce look like he is about to become sick. He then says to you, “If you want more information, you can find Johnny underneath the overpass over there.”

You stop him right before he leaves and ask him which of the police is in charge of the crime scene.  He then stops to think and then says “Oh. Her name is Detective Joanne Hartley. Do you want her number in case you find something they missed?”

He then gives you her number and then says “Well, I need to be going now. I am still locking this place up but since it looks like you are on foot, I will let you in. Its over in the northwest side of the cemetery. You cannot miss it.”

Graveyard Investigation

Once you ask around where this particular graveyard is located, they tell you that it is towards the eastern edge of downtown proper. Once you find the name and location, you hail for a cab to take you it. The graveyard is located on the east edge close to I-254 which is also known as the downtown loop close to a Exxon Gas Station and Nichols Auto Sales, a small locally own car lot that sells used cars.
When your almost there, the cab drivers asks you “So are you here about the murders that poor Johnny stumbled across?” You give them one of those questioned looks which the cab driver “Hey, this area has been busy lately with cops interviewing people in the area. Just asking since lately this area has been busier than normal.” He drops you off at the Exxon but after you pay but before you open the door, “You seem like a good person. You might look for Johnny about what he found. He is a good man and he does not cause any trouble.”
[He dropped you off at the Exxon instead of the graveyard because the gates were closed]
You walk over to the graveyard entrance and noticed that right now the gates are closed but in the distance you do see a truck which looks like the grounds keeper. As you are trying to decide if you’re going to sneak thru the gate, you see the grounds keeper truck coming up look like he is leaving to go somewhere. He sees you and he looks like a middle age man with Bruce Reemer on his name badge.
He looks in your direction as he is unlocking the gate to leave and asks “Can I help you?”

[Need some questions that you would ask him]
1. Need two conservation skill checks
2. Need two perception tests
[What would you like to do from this point?]

WatersEdge [Stanley Update #1]

NOTE: If memory serves me, that your base was in urban community district close to downtown but not technically in down town.  You do not have access to the map in evernote so if you need to check.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Like most cities, people have started to leave the downtown and head to the suburbs. One of the biggest malls of all WatersEdge is downtown in the Urban Community District which is Lakeview Mall. All stores that you would need to find at a mall can be here.  The top of the mall is also a hotel and they have an excellent and respected food court.

Russians Information

For the best part of the first week you do not hear anything about the Russians. Towards the end of the week, you hear a story that cops have a found a grissly murder in one of the local graveyards. The only reason they found about it that a local homeless man was trying to find a place for the night and stumbled upon the scene.

JESSIE

During your Tuesday night patrol of checking upon Jessie, you do see an interesting exchange between Jessie and some individual in a high dollar sedan.  Your able to get in close and looks like they are talking about the Delilah incident and trying to figure out if he is to blame or not.  He gets on his knees and begs for his life and you see a person in the sedan raises its finger and you see Jessie scream in horrifying pain. Your evil meter at this time is going ape shit but you decide the keep your cool due to the hired muscle you see surrounding the vehicle.  One thing to note, something that was not natural was blocking your vision of the person in the car even though you were that close.

At this time the sedan leaves and you decide to investigate Jessie because he is still squirming around on the ground in agony. When you get close, he tells you to leave him alone because he is enough trouble already without you. That’s when you notice that he has a burn mark on his neck the size of a tattoo.

Black Rose Information

During this time, you do hear people talk about an exclusive nightclub close to the Park Avenue Terrace strip and the I54 AND SH48 exchange.  You ask for this club name which they tell you it’s the le lion endormi.

You decide the check it out and at the edge of red light district here in WatersEdge sits the le lion endormi which translates to English as “The Sleeping Lion”. The first thing you notice because it sticks out is how many nice cars that in your past life you would love to take for a test drive. You also notice all the muscle in the area for both the clients and people outside the club.

You notice that this club is huge and also very private because you do see couple of times of normal people trying to get into the club and are asked for something and they are turned away.

You do notice that on the east side of the place is fenced off area you think mostly for the employees of the club and loading docks for the food the club uses. This area does have a security checkpoint.

Questions

When you reply for Stanley, just put a comment here with all of your information and then send me a email letting me know that you have done that.  Also, could you help me with just a small blurb what you envision the (red-light district)Park Avenue Terrace would look like?

Return to Kalamar Campaign

Howdy all,

I have decided that I am going to do sort of a reset. Yes, it is still centered around the PDQ caravan, but this time it is actually stationed in the great city of Bet Rogala which is the capital city of Pekal.  If you remember, Pekal is probably the biggest concentration of magic in the known world of Tellene and for this reason it is still its own country and has not been taken over even though Kalamar have tried in many occasions.

It is at this moment a small caravan company which currently has a reputation of getting products to any destination without any questions asked. It it currently operated by the Hobgoblin Cleric Guy and the Human Monk Asuk.  Sometimes, you might see Rolg, the human rogue, there and also every once in while you might catch Alathain the Half-Elf Barbarian/Sorcerer. Even though most of the time, he is tracking down his love Lorana, who always seems to need his help. She is also a barbarian.

 

Death

This is topic that i personally have faced since the passing of my father early 2005 from throat cancer. I personally thought I was dying from the same cancer until I finally made myself believe that I am not dying. Thank God at the time, I had an awesome friend of Christ who helped me make sense of it.

At the same time that Death is final but it is also final resting place where people who were in pain can finally stop being in pain. I know my father was in a lot of pain before he passed away so knowing that pain is over is a nice relief also.

I know a lot of people ask the question “Why does God take people the way they do when they know they have a long life ahead of them?” which I honestly do not know the answer but i know that if God did take them then he did for his purpose and his glory which all of us have a hard time wrapping around our fragile minds.

We also need to remember that God did promise that one day we will be risen again and be with the Father forever in heaven and one thing we can be certain that God does keep his promises as we look to his soon life/death and resurrection as an example.

Please God look over us especially a good friend who lost his Father today for strength and understanding that he is know in a better place. Lord, also look over the family to give them strength in this trying time. Amen.
