This Wiki details the history of a Call of Cthulhu campaign begun in 1983. The campaign has been running uninterrupted since that inception date. Game play began in January of 1920, and has since moved into the early thirties. Current campaign date is around 19 October 1932.

Writing this the next morning, I am unsure what to think. On the one hand, the incursion turned out vastly less bloody than I had thought. I have heard no word of civilian casualties, but it seems as if they may be in the hundreds rather than the thousands or millions. I feel terrible because this news does not make me happy. It makes me wonder if something worse will happen elsewhere, or if my whole vision of this as the End of Times may be wrong. What did I make this sacrifice for in that case.

It began with a walk along Central Park, with no sign yet of the enemy, heading for Columbus Circle based on report that there was a problem there. Jack and I went with Robert Krusemark, along with a former Guardian (?) named Miles and a sailor named Sinclair, along with six Seelie guards.

The park and area at first seemed peaceful, but a fog was drifting into the Second Church of Christ Scientist - that soon proved deadly, killing several civilians who walked into it and disintegrating their bodies.

Going into the park, there was a soft spot in reality like a pool on the ground, from which were coming hellhounds.

Return to [[The Stars Are Right: The Irish Rose]].

[[category: The Irish Rose Matter]]

== Plotlines ==

As I join, there are four main threads: (1) Investigating Dr. George Phillips - who has something to do with a blood disease and is a figure from Dr. Ecker's past ; (2) investigating Reverend Frank Scott and his "sister" - a shady preacher who works with the poor at Clark Park (James O'Keefe is interested in the preacher for some reason); (3) the beating of Katie Flynn by her common-law husband Danny; (4) working with the Purple Gang (JT Williams is seeking to expand his business

== August 1932 ==

=== Mon, Aug 1 ===
* ''(Start of Session One - November 2011) 08/01/1932 - 08/04/1932''
* Dr. DeWitt Ecker, JT Williams, James O'Keefe, and Victor Grayson find themselves thrown together at the Irish Rose speakeasy in Detroit, owing to events relating to "Katie" Flynn. Katie Flynn is severely beaten by her boyfriend, speak owner Danny Macklin. She is taken to Ecker's apartment for treatment for several broken ribs and other injuries. She begs the four men to retrieve her belongings from the Rose. They discover a hidden box which contains personal letters in French, a map of Los Angeles, and a medical journal. Dr. Ecker reads through the journal, which details a strange infection, with which Ms. Flynn appears to be inflicted.

=== Tue, Aug 2 ===
* Led by O'Keefe, the group goes looking for Reverend Scott. Dr. Ecker, JT, and O'Keefe visit the Herman Keefer Hospital for Communicable Diseases, where Dr. Ecker has an old score to settle with Dr. Philips. The four men locate a 5th letter belonging to Ms. Flynn, which has already been translated to English. The letter raises more questions than it answers, with allusions to Weiss, Steele, Petit-Jean, Fae, Communion, Flynn, and Gautier).

=== Wed, Aug 3 ===
* The group locates Reverend Scott at Clark Park. There is something peculiar about the way his sister paces behind the small group of people he is haranguing. They follow Mr. Scott, and he and his sister appear uncomfortably close. The group also follows Dr. Philips from the hospital. They steal some strange vials he has hidden in his car. JT sets up a meeting with the Purple Gang for Thursday.

=== Thu, Aug 4 ===
* The four men meet with the Purple Gang at an Italian restaurant.

=== Fri, Aug 5 ===
* ''(Start of Session Two - June 2012)''
* The four men meet in the Irish Rose to consider their next move. Williams recruits Drifter Joe and Dr. Obediah Walters. Ecker, Joe, Walters and O'Keefe break into the Herman Kiefer hospital to investigate Dr. George Phillips, an old co-worker and rival of Dr. Ecker. They find a modified patient file on Vivian Cooper-Levitt. Frank Lovejoy, a reporter for the Detroit Evening Press, is there interviewing hospital staff regarding an ongoing corruption scandal at the hospital and witnesses the four men leaving in an unlicensed car. He attempts to tail them, but loses them outside of the redlight district.
* Meanwhile, Victor and Lila secretly go to talk to Katie (a.k.a. 'Heather') Flynn, who is sick.
* Daniel Flynn is murdered, and left hanging by his heels from the ceiling of The Irish Rose. Frank Lovejoy is assigned to cover the story on behalf of the [[TheStarsAreRight:TheIrishRose:Article1|Detroit Evening Times]]. He, O'Keefe, Ecker and Walters are all admitted to the crime scene by the Detroit police.
* That night, James and JT stake out Dr. Phillips. They see a fancy car drop by and Phillips exchanges a small object for an envelope. The car goes back to Vivian Cooper-Levitt's mansion, so this was probably her family buying a vial of the serum.

=== Sat, Aug 6 ===
* Ecker, Williams and Joe kidnap Dr. Phillips as he leaves from his golf game, and discover details about the Fae blood condition (without that name).
* Lovejoy interviews Grayson and Clark in an attempt to determine the identities of the [[TheStarsAreRight:TheIrishRose:Article2|two mysterious doctors]] seen at the murder scene.

=== Sun, Aug 7 ===
* No one can find Rev. Frank Scott that day. (Lila has a dinner date with a boring cab driver Ralph.) That night, Lila has the journalist Lovejoy meet with Katie/Heather, bringing a discrete doctor with him - who turns out to be Dr. Walters (!). He gives her the injection of serum that Lila supplied from Dr. Ecker. Lila reciprocates by giving an interview with Lovejoy.

=== Mon, Aug 8 ===
* ''(Start of Session Three - August 2012)''
* Grand re-opening of the Irish Rose under a new manager, Susie Q, a figurehead who faced down Russian strongmen coming around for protection money.
* An unknown wealthy woman in her 30s (dressed in white silk and furs, with two bodyguards and a greyhound) came and argued with the new manager. She introduced herself as Voison. She gave Dr. Walters a flask. The bouncer, Joe, took a shot of this and found his senses enhanced and a high up.
* Negotiated more with Purple Gang - plan on smuggling trucks down from Canada on Friday. They have four trucks and drivers and a regular route, but will be testing us (as a gang).
* Still failed to find Rev. Frank Scott so far.
* "Doctor" Eckers left town after Lovejoy wrote an article about him exposing his lack of license. (The player, Scott, dropped out of the campaign.)
* A new manager is hired at the Irish Rose (Susie Q). Mysterious Russians seek an audience with Lovejoy and the Irish Rose crew. The Purple Gang tasks JT's 'gang' with importing unspecified items from Canada on the 12th (Friday). A wealthy woman, Voisoine du Montaine, gives Obediah a strange elixir after causing a scene at the Irish Rose.

=== Tue, Aug 9 ===
* ''(Start of Session Five - November 2012)''
* In the morning, Lila and J.T. track down the woman, Voison, at the Armitage House Hotel after searching around at several high class hotels. She is Voison Montaine from France. She is with a socialite set who go out partying all night.
* Several are checking up on Rev. Franklin Scott. He is young, around 18-20, and his sister Katherine is a year or two older. He works among the poor out of an empty storefront, that he is staying above, as the "United Assembly of God".
* That evening around 6, Jim goes to check in on Rev. Scott - he is working for some government types who will pick him up. He brings them out front to where some government-looking suits are standing, asking about a boy named Franklin. The two put a silver cable around the reverend, and he sprouted limbs or tentacles and grabbed one of the agents, encasing him in a cocoon and dragging him away. The other fired his pistol into him to no effect, with Lila and J.T. witnessing. They ran, but Jim ran in and collected the surviving agent. Victor stayed with the sister, and the reporter Lovejoy came and talked to her. She says she is from Ireland originally, but been in the U.S. for many years.
* Back at the Irish Rose, checking his wallet, he is a Treasury agent, Michael Barnes. Jim calls the Treasury agency to have them collect their agent.
* The reverend shows up again for the service, and gives a thin cover story to reporter Lovejoy.
* Late that night, Doc Walters arranges to run into Voison at a bar. She offers to make him fabulously wealthy by brewing the unusually elixir in a new facility.
* Lila and JT track Voisoine to her hotel. O'Keefe and Grayson take a gander at Rev. Scott's home/ministry. Lovejoy follows up on a variety of leads. Grayson, JT, and Lila assist O'Keefe in his efforts to assist some government agents in apprehending Rev. Scott. Scott (allegedly) sprouts tentacles and devours one of the agents. All but Grayson return to the Rose with the remaining agent. Obediah can detect nothing physically wrong with him. Grayson encounter Lovejoy at the Scott's ministry. The alley where the attack happened has a strange symbol (recently) carved, a trail of slime, and six bullet holes in the alley wall. Obediah follows Voisoine from her hotel so that he can 'accidentally' run into her at a bar. She offers him a job producing the mysterious elixir and gives him a check for $2000.

=== Wed, Aug 10 ===
* Article comes out of interview with Katie Flynn. Agent Carl Akins questions J.T., Lila, and Doc Walters about the incident with the reverend. J.T. and Lila deny they saw anything, claiming they stayed in the car - then Lila and the others

* ''(Start of Session Six - November 30, 2012)''

* The group is going to meet with the Russians (under a leader known as "The Boyar") on Thursday.
* J.T. and Lila do a test run of the crossing to Canada planned for Friday.
* Lovejoy finds out that there is a Parkhurt Medical Foundation in Buffalo, New York. They say that Parkhurt moved to L.A., and give an address.
* Lovejoy comes to the Irish Rose to question Lila, and argues with her - saying that she was the connecting element over Danny's murder along with Ecker's and Flynn's disappearances.
* Victor, J.T., Doc Walters, and Lila meet with The Boyar after being fed nice Russian food with bulky guards around - and they brought in Lovejoy. The Boyar is a well-dressed in his 30s who commands attention. Victor says about Voisson and "tentacle monster" to The Boyar.
* The Boyar says that the real Voisson died, and the woman is a pretender capitalizing on her reputation. He is Rulyinof - father of Ilya the Czarina.
* He says the Purple Gang are involved with shady elements of the "Travellers" - Flynn's people who have varying degrees of a disease of the blood, called a "necrophage" by Parkhurst. The disease can be brought out of dormancy by injury.
* Flynn was involved with Maturin de Bonavault, a possibly dead or dormant figure who knew a lot. The journal may have a treatment for the disease, which Voisson wants to use to involuntarily treat rivals in the Travellers.
* The Boyar want to suppress the treatment. He is around for only a few weeks, and then will return to Russia. Parkhurst disappeared from his foundation a year ago, and now no one knows where he is. The Boyar and Russia would be interested in finding out - as well as the formula for aqua vitae (the elixir).
* Michael Barnes (the presumed leader of the government agents that were trying to capture Scott) interrogates the Irish Rose crew. Lila mentions that Scott exhibited octopus-like tendencies. Barnes offers her a job (possibly also JT... and he had previously offered O'Keefe a job... no one offers Victor or Obediah anything... bunch of jerks). It is mentioned that Lovejoy was at the scene, poking around. Barnes asks Victor (who agrees) to lure Scott to an isolated area so that they can capture him without alarming people (at some later date). Victor meets again with the Russians and returns to the Rose with an offer of a meeting (to be held Thursday or Saturday). He also meets up with the Katherine and Franklin Scott at Clark Park.

=== Thu, Aug 11 ===
* ''(Start of Session Seven - March 17, 2013)''
* PI Daphne Ferris points us to the Harvest Trust company...
* Meeting with Harvest Trust. They want to pay $200 per week for vague work to help protect against "Outsiders".
* Courier later from Trust comes - a 15 year-old girl who looked too perfect and had scintillating eyes. She agreed to take a message to Dr. Parkhurst asking for contact.

=== Fri, Aug 12 ===
* Delivery for Purple Gang from Canada turned out to have wine, whisky, and at least 1, possibly 3 kids in a comatose state. (Turned out to have the 2 boys and 1 girl, all around 9-11 in age.) A courier from Harvest Trust showed up to give Doc Walters a retainer of $100.
* Talk with reporter Frank Lovejoy that night at the Irish Rose. That night, the same courier girl, Delphinus, returns to say that Parkhurst will meet them at 9 the next night. (...) Lila and J.T. follow her leaving and see her disappear into the shadows in an alley.
* (Give Lovejoy the letter from Mssr. Huber to Mssr. De Bonnevault found among Katie's papers at the Irish Rose.)

=== Sat, Aug 13 ===
* ''(Start of Session Eight - March 30, 2013)''
* Found that the Russians spoke well of Harvest Trust. Reporter Lovejoy found that Harvest Trust's public record of altruistic work checked out. Found Parkhurst last known in a house in L.A. with 10 or more people, owned by H. Rhyner.
* Sat evening met with Parkhurst in the Rose, who had two big bodyguards with beauty and strange eyes (a man and a woman). Parkhurst looks big, blonde, confident, and charismatic although not beautiful like the others. (He looks like a 30-year-old version of actor William Hopper.) He talked about the "necrophagic" disease, which over the course of it replaces the body, making the host stronger and more perceptive, and heal super quickly. Called "the condition" or "the birthright" (old-school), and makes a need to drink blood. The elixir replaces the need for blood, but creates a dependence, and they can no longer process blood after a while.
* Parkhurst talked about Carl Ellis who was the founder of Harvest Trust. Also about his own clinic, the Parkhurst Institute for Medical Research.
* J.T. told Parkhurst about smuggling the kids for the Purple Gang. He said he would do research and track them down. He confirmed that Voisson is an imposter is ... There are good and bad Russians, but creating new aqua vitae is not
* Lila talked to Parkhurst about him and Katie/Heather - who apparently was used to safeguard the notes. She said that he should copy and release them, and noted that he had endangered Katie, but he says that she knew what she was getting into.

=== Sun, Aug 14 ===
* Bought a farmhouse from a farmer with cash from Voisson, to use as a base for producing aqua vitae. J.T. sent for his cousins Rufus and R.J. to oversee the brewing and distilling half of the operation. Rufus is muscle/driver, while R.J. knows the ropes of distilling. (Doc Walters would oversee the second half, using details yet to be provided by Voisson.)

=== Mon, Aug 15 ===
* During the day, finalized the deed on the farmhouse. Parkhurst returns and says he had found kids at a farmhouse, and asked if we would help rescue the kids. In the evening, took trucks and attacked the farm with Parkhurst along with his two bodyguards and some human mercenaries. Defenders included a number people with the Condition. Victor was tossed out of a second-story window and hurt badly. In a hidden room, found a makeshift operating room where someone was dissected along with footprints to a car, and rescued 2 of the 3 kids. Lovejoy brought a photographer along who took many pictures of the events, including him carrying out the kids.
* Escape in the trucks, taking the two kids and the dissecting table covered in dark-colored blood. Parkhurst says that the two kids have the Condition, but are not part of his community in New Jersey.

=== Tue, Aug 16 ===
* ''(Start of Session Nine - April 13, 2013)''
* Began setting up the operation on the farm. One of Parkhurst's bodyguards (the man) and two human mercenaries (men) are staying at the farm. Take the dissecting table from the rescue to here. The farm now has two trucks and a car supplied by Parkhurst. The girl is silent, while the boy still seems to be in a deep sleep, though neither have obvious injuries.
* The bodyguard's name is Maurice. He is a big, dark-haired man with a small queue and hazel-gold eyes. The two mercs names are Robert (the big and bulky one) and Luke (the smaller one).
* J.T. comes back to Detroit to get supplies and recruits Lila. They get medical supplies, lots of groceries, furnishings like blankets.
* The farm has a cow, some pigs and chickens, and a cat or two.
* Bodyguard talks to the girl alone - and tells Doc Walters that the boy and girl are Jason (10) and Olivia (12). They are not related. Maurice doesn't know where the parents are. They have been separated from their family since at least March. They had spent some time in Egypt, and were kept sedated/drugged for much of the time.
* Taking advice from one of the two mercs, Doc Walters sets up a blood transfusion from the merc Robert to the boy. (Those with the Condition are universal receivers and donors.) The boy's condition improves but he does not wake up.
* Doc Walters entrusted J.T. with the $2000 from Voisson and $100 from Harvest Trust. We had not gotten any money from the Purple Gang for the one test run we did.
* Lila does a New Orleans voodoo ritual over Jason, with permission from Olivia and Maurice. Jason seems to improve, but does not wake up.
* During dinner, J.T. lets slip that we will be producing aqua vitae. Maurice, as one with the Condition, says that many will be very interested - since a.v. is the only thing that simulates alcohol, and it is very rare (only known source gone). Maurice told Olivia that Dr. Walters would "save the Queen."
* Olivia tells Lila that her parents are in England, named Rebecca and David (no last name). She tells J.T. and Doc Walters, but not Parkhurst's people.
* Victor has Dr. Parkhurst's journal, and trades it to the Russians in return for their promise to help Katie/Heather.
* Dr. Parkhurst shows up again at the farm and hears about his journal being given to the Russians. He has no leads yet on the childrens' parents.

=== Wed, Aug 17 ===

* ''(Session Ten - April 28, 2013)''
* New characters newpaper photographer Jack Casey (played by Chris) and Purple Gang member Michael McMann (played by Gene).
* McMann is a tall (6'2") red-headed man in his mid-20s, who immigrated from Ireland 2 or 3 years ago. He is a member of the Purple Gang.
* McMann and Casey talk to J.T. at the Irish Rose. According to McMann, the Purple Gang says that they were delivering the kids for a Lorenzo Farbeck. McMann heads to the farm where the children were being held prisoner.
* In the Purple Gang, there are 4-5 different bosses with independent rackets. McMann works for Abe Axel, who is a sub-boss for ??. J.T. got a letter from the someone else (liquor boss) in the gang who wanted to set up a meeting, and was satisfied with our performance.
* J.T. writes to the liquor boss asking to meet at noon on Friday the 19th. In Victor's absence, Michael temporarily takes over running gambling at the Irish Rose. The meeting
* Purple Gang lead by the Jewish brothers Joe, Abraham, Raymond, and Isadore Bernstein.

=== Fri, Aug 19 ===
* J.T. and Victor go to meet the Izzy Bernstein, with Eddie Fletcher and Abe Axel along with muscle McMann. They meet at a room at the LaSalle Hotel, the swankiest in town. Bernstein agrees to continuing business relations.
* Casey shows his pictures from the farm: picture of the girl bodyguard Francis that shows small fangs, along with a picture of the discolored blood. Lila, Victor, and J.T. reassure him and tell him most of the story.
* Talking to McMann, he says that Lorenzo Farbeck was the one who smuggled the kids in. He is part of some medical research company.
* J.T. and Lila take the photographer Jack Casey blindfolded to the distillery farm. Jason by now is walking around and doing fine. He takes pictures as proof to McMann that the two kids are doing fine.

* Late that night, J.T., Lila, Victor, Casey, and McMann all go up to Canada to try to track down where the kids were delivered. They search the farmhouse by the drop point where rum-runners occasionally crash. In the cellar they find a locked bolt-hole, with stocks of whisky, and medical examination room with a flat table with various equipment including bottles of opium, ether, etc. There is a hidden safe with a few hundred dollars, maps, a ledger and schedule-book, and American and Canadian IDs. (Lila secretly pockets $20.)
* McMann finds the burnt remains of a book that has pages that survived. In the center of a ledger are 4 pages of medical notes, in an old-fashioned style; followed by 2 pages of a personal letter.
* In a hidden spot in the basement, Victor finds an old envelope with expensive stationary - dated June 1889, in a woman's handwriting, a letter to someone named Ruth on the farm, from her sister Anne. The letter is about a German, Matthias Dargon, buying property from her father with suspicious insistence. Anne is concerned that they will sell the farm.
* They wait hidden to see the night's shipment. With J.T. providing a distraction noise in the woods, Lila runs up to check the back. There is a package for Lorenzo Forbeck, shipped originally from New York. It feels like it has six half-gallon glass containers full of liquid.

=== Sat, Aug 20 ===
* Early in the morning, a well-dressed Italian-looking man with wavy dark hair in a fancy sedan arrives and picks up that crate. McMann identifies this as Lorenzo Forbeck. They follow his car back to Detroit, to a house in an expensive rich district - the house where we met the Russians. This is the house of Vivian Cooper-Levitt. He seems to be staying there.
* Lila tells McMann about the source of this.

=== Sun, Aug 21 ===
* ''(Start of Session Eleven- May 27, 2013)''
* Lovejoy interviews Olivia and Jason.
* Lila, J.T., Casey, Walters, and Lovejoy journey through a portal to the Seelie Court.
* Note background - there were 7 bodies at the site of the rescue attempt, including 2 known Purple Gang members - plus 3-4 blobs of ichor.
* Photographer Casey develops his pictures of the burnt documents from the Canada farmhouse. He has lifted out good information on the 4 pages of medical notes, and semi-good information on 2 middle pages of a personal letter.
* The medical notes are a rough draft, written in a man's handwriting. It concerns a mutation in the Condition - not the one that Parkhurst talked about or the serum.
* There are also two middle pages of a letter written by Katie to Maturin. It also mentions a Franz, Jean-Marc, and Mssr. De Bonnevault.
* Lila and J.T. bring Lovejoy and Casey blindfolded to the farmhouse. They bring Lovejoy up to speed with what they found at the Canada house. Lovejoy has come to interview the two Fae children, Olivia and Jason. Lila and Maurice are in the room for the talk, but the kids are overjoyed to see him - since Olivia knows him as the man who rescued her.
* Olivia says she was attacked and knocked out in her house in Britain outside Bailey about 1 year ago. She only heard of Parkhurst from her kidnappers - as Regent to the Queen of the Seelie Court. They moved around the world, including Egypt where a rescue attempt happened in Thebes. Thebans set the house on fire, but then Paige St. Mar chased them off using illusions. The boss was not a human or someone with the Condition - he had eyes with pure-black irises, tall and big with brown hair.
* Jason says he is from Ohio and then later California, where he was kidnapped from a house near L.A. He says he saw Parkhurst once when he was in that house.
* They report that Ricky was an American who was kidnapped last.

* J.T. and Lila returned Lovejoy and Casey to Detroit blindfolded. At the Rose, there was a note from Voisson that she will be in town on the 25th and will meet there.
* Parkhurst arrives in the evening, fresh from a fight. He says to keep the Katie-Maturin letter a secret. Matthias Dargon was a mover and shaker from before Parkhurst's time - not a Fae. He implies the time difference and longevity, but hasn't said it clearly. Doc Walters admits that he was taken by Parkhurst to the community on the 14th to talk to people - he is mysterious about this.
* Parkhurst rests for a few hours, while they bring Lovejoy and Casey back to see him. He reports later that the third child, Ricky, is close to being rescued.

* Parkhurst takes J.T., Lila, Lovejoy, Casey, and Doc Walters through the root cellar into the community - supposedly in New Jersey, though the glow in the sky suggests something strange. There are apparently ~300 with the Condition, ~200 human staff, and ~400+ companions and other humans. There are no modern amenities, but various livestock except heavy plow animals or wagons. Parkhurst warns against seeing the "horses".

* They meet Theo - a man in pseudo-Renaissance-style clothes with riding boots. He is short (5'4"), stocky, and appears about 50 years old - with pure black irises. He tells them that the children were kidnapped to be used as tools - talented sneak thieves - by a Devarney. He intended to infect the children with a disease to strike at the Fae, inducing an atavism to a feral, animalistic state like the "Before Times". Devarney is dead now.
* He explains the time ratio of 60:1 with the community, and the Fae immortality - saying the oldest ever is around 1500 years old, while around here the oldest is probably around 300. He refers to the "Before Times" - before the Queen took over 3 years ago. After at first saying that he didn't know about them or their parents, he reports that their parents are dead.
* He says that the necro-phage is from Outside the universe, from a dangerous dimension that will begin incursions starting in October in New York. The three communities: Seelie Court in New Jersey, the less civilized Unseelie Court in New York, and the dangerous Enclave in eastern Europe (Devarney's group).

* The visitors briefly meet Theo's daughter, Sofia Weiss. They then split up and wander the community to learn more.

=== Sun, Aug 21 ===
* ''(Session Twelve - May 31, 2013)''
* The group (including Victor, now) have long conversations with Theo Weiss (who offers them some tasks) and Hannelore Rhyner.
* Theo wants to understand what is where the children were going (to get at the heart of the plan to try to use them to infect the community).
* Hannelore helps clarify a lot of the unanswered questions surrounding Katie/Heather Flynn.
* We learn that Parkhurst is an evil fiend (well, that's how Victor interpreted it!)
* The mystery of the barn is resolved.
* Sun, Aug 21: The group wander the community and discuss issues and evidence. J.T. found from Parkhurst that he found Ricky in Kansas City.
* Lovejoy theorizes about Macklin's murder - citing off the Seelie, Unseelie, unaligned, the Enclave, and the Russians (who might have protected some "Before Times" Fae using obscure magical technology).
* According to Doc, Parkhurst says that he gave Katie his journal. (He gave it supposedly because of the schism over the treatment within the community.)
* Theo says that Parkhurst has a high sense of personal honor, and is unlikely to lie. The Seelie court was created here 6 months ago shallow world time. A woman named Hannah, who also became Medea in 1929 just before the night of miracles, who also become the Queen. The Queen is a separate power figure - the Queen of Air and Darkness, while Medea is the one who brought the change (in France in 1929). The community was only created 6 months ago; while the Fae took residence about 4 months ago.
* The necrophage came here in an incursion ages ago. Those infected go into a 3-day transformation after they seemed to die. They adopt a new name and personality. They used to live alone or in small family groups. After many centuries, they become incorporeal Elders. (Vandervecken, who was "killed" in Kansas City a few years ago, was 700 years old and just recently became an elder. He is leader of the Unseelie.)
* There is magical life force, called the Ambient, which started rising years ago and took a giant leap up about 3-4 years ago. A group of Elders contacted the Enclave, who became riders of the Fae of the Enclave, allowing them to survive the Ambient. He says that the Fae cannot do magic.
* Heather, Franz, and Jean-Marc were travelling with Maturin De Bonnevault, who was a very old Nightfolk obsessed with Hanna/Medea, acting for the Enclave. When Maturin vanished, Heather was captured by Parkhurst. (We note the Farbeck had Heather's letter to Maturin. There was a Farbeck in the history of the Enclave - not clear if it is the same.)
* The Seelie and Unseelie have non-aggression agreement, and were both transformed by Medea.
* Theo says that Matthias Dargon (mentioned in the letter) was a cult leader, dead now. Carl Ellis is a good man. Hannibal King keeps his word.

* They arrange with Parkhurst to meet with Hannah. Looks to be in her late 30s, with brilliant grey eyes, with waist-length shiny black hair and pale skin. (Like a Gothic heroine)
* Hasn't seen Heather since she left L.A. Mssr. Huber might have information. (Mentions she had left Buffalo to go to L.A.)
* Says she has a position of leadership - more as a spiritual leader. Mentions raising children, the goals. harm children, impede progress, ...
* "I do not feel they owe me... chosen by ?fate?" ... was an alienist - into objective observation... Says that Dr. Parkhurst is the right person for the job and is trustworthy despite tendency to violence and to fly off the handle.
* Re: Theo, he feels he must to do what he must to preserve the shallow world...
* Ultimately, she would like the walls of the court broken down, living among the rest of you...
* She explains the current theory is that the space come through is inhabited by entities - some thinking, some not - and the barrier to that space is weakening. She believes this entirely, and wants to help...
* Maturin De Bonnevault was the head of the household, attended by majordomo Franz Huber, bodyguard Jean (professional criminal in France) and his son "Petit Jean", and Heather (infrequent companion to Maturin). Maturin tried to arrange Parkhurst to be Hannah's companion, and failing that he kidnapped Hanah from her house in Buffalo. Parkhurst located them, but Maturin escaped having done terrible things to Hannah.
* What happened to Franz (in the incident in the letter)? Hanna drank from him (Communion), and he was adversely affected.
* Parkhurst went crazy, and possibly tortured Miss Flynn to get information on where Maturin went. He was no longer a doctor in spirit after that. She was loyal to Maturin but gave out information, then became prisoner of the Seelie.
* Parkhurst found his serum a failure and stopped work on it. He sent copies to Theo Weiss and Mr. Ellis. Hanna asked Parkhurst for the serum; he refused; loyal Seelie beat him up to get the serum from him. He then gave the journal to Heather, telling her to take it far from the Seelie.
* Alanna shows up, young woman known as "Mistress of the Hunt". She shows them the horses, which look like jet-black horses with flexible necks, sharp teeth, and intelligent eyes. She warns especially to avoid their bite which is poisonous. J.T. and Grayson both try riding them in the corral, under Alanna's supervision. Grayson does particularly well, and J.T. does well enough to avoid being injured.

=== Mon, Aug 22 ===
* ''(Session Thirteen - July 5, 2013)''
* JT, Victor, and Obediah (and maybe Lila) remain behind at the Seelie Court for a couple of months, while the others return.
* Parkhurst sends Candide to stay with the group, and especially to protect Doc Walters. He is a small man, without the good looks of most of the fae, but still the brilliant blue eyes. He has a muddled European accent.
* In the evening, JT, Victor, and Candide meet with Axler. Axler indicates that something big is going to happen in the next few weeks and he wants the Irish Rose crew to be involved. JT indicates he is not interested in things like kidnapping children and Axler assures him that the job won't effect his delicate sensibilities.

=== Tue, Aug 23 ===
* Victor and Candide stakeout Cooper-Levitt's house and see Farbeq leave. They decide to break in and poke around. They (well, mostly Victor) foolishly steal 4 bottles discovered in a box (the same box that was retrieved from the Purple Gang drop site).

=== Wed, Aug 24 - Aug 27 ===
* ''(Session Fourteen - July 14, 2013)''
* Over the course of these days:
* --Obediah meets with Voisoine. She offers to give him the secret in return for 'a favor to be chosen later' or to just supply him the ingredient for mixing. He defers this deal while he determines what he wants to do. When Candide departs for KC, Obediah returns to the Seelie Court.
* -- McMann continues to poke around trying to find the missing children. On the 27th, he encounters a prostitute who gives him a lead on Farbeq.
* Gangster Michael McMann vandalized J.T.'s car in order to get his attention. He gives hints to the group that Farbeck is based out of Kansas City, where the other ritual murder like the Irish Rose murder occurred.
* -- Lovejoy does some more research and heads down to Kansas City on the trail of the last missing child. He follows up various leads and eventually locates the likely location of the children at a farmhouse visited by the murdered housing agent, Bitterman.
* -- Candide mostly stays with Obediah to protect him. He journeys to Kansas City on the 27th to help locate the missing child with his 'special vision/senses'.
* -- JT and Victor revisit the Seelie Court before traveling down to KC to help locate the last missing child. They blunder about a bit, but eventually they show up to assist Lovejoy in his investigations.

=== Sun, Aug 27 ===
* Aug 27 (Sat) - Most of the group travel down to Kansas City.
* Retracing Bitterman's movements, Candide finds that Fae of some sort are located at an abandoned farmhouse.

=== Sun, Aug 28 ===
* Aug 28 (Sun) - Discussions among each other in a Kansas City hotel room in the afternoon.
* Lovejoy got an anonymous letter via the courier from someone claiming to know Flynn, based on reading his articles, and were interested in helping rescue the kids. Said congrats re: article. Contacted others regarding Purple Gang, and that their future is "anything but rosy". If in New York, would express their gratitude in "some tangible manner".
** Generous funding into the background of the children. Dr. Parkhurst is an old associate, but had lost track of him, and had heard he fell prey to the same blood diseases that he had fought to cure. Miss Flynn is an old acquaintance who had been under Parkhurst's care. Mentions Institute in Berlin and places in Moscow working to make "biological weapons" of blood disease, and sterilization of afflicted in Germany. Also mentions New World Industries, and a Dr. Sergei Sergeivitch doing blood research.
* Lovejoy wrote to the Boyar to ask about the institute in Moscow.
** The Boyar wrote back saying that he was surprised at our Fae connections (what he called the "American camp"). He does confirm that the institute in Moscow is a personal charity of the Czarina, and is doing research into blood disease. He also implies that the Czar is infected.
* Katie wrote to say that some people in the community had wanted to kill Hannah before she became Queen. The Seelie and Unseelie are under the queen's protection. The Enclave had joined with the Elders to survive the rising ambient, and were the ones pushing to kill her.
* Bitterman was a guy murdered in the style as Macklin. Got a list of farms that he had visited, and Candide had sensed other infected on a particular farm. This fits with Parkhurst's information that there was a trail on the missing kids leading to Kansas City.
* (Vic may think he is going crazy.)
* McMann offers to go out and drive by the farmhouse to check it out, and Lila offers to go with him. J.T. objects to this, and Lila goes out for a walk.
* Around 6PM, Candide arrives, and brings in four people with him - young Samson (America), Robespierre (French), Diego de la Vega (Mexican), and Miranda (British).
* We raid the farmhouse at around midnight. Just before the raid, Lovejoy reveals to the others that he has instructed his partner to call the police to raid the place at 4AM.
* Samson and Robespierre go in the back followed by Lovejoy and Lila. Candide, Diego, and Miranda go in the front followed by J.T. McMann watches from the front yard.
* J.T. picks the front lock quietly, while Samson and Robespierre climb inhumanly to the second floor up the back. However, the whole farmhouse is empty - stripped clean of any furniture and most interior walls. There is a door set in the middle of the first floor. Lila picks the back door lock and joins the rest with Lovejoy.
* Underground, find a facility with dead bodies in a refrigerated room, and 200+ feral people (Fae "abominations") in cages.
* In the attack, rescue 9 companions. In an attack on the final lab, the Seelie brought to help in the assault murder the American scientists who surrender, on orders from Candide. They kill a "Triad" of 3 ritual magicians / psychics (?) along with 4 scientists. However, after stopping them, we do capture 5 scientists.
* Lovejoy documents this, and then waits with one scientist for the police to arrive.
* The companions have many needle marks and many marks of "communion" - they were terrorized and held for from 3 months to a year and half.
* In the attack, all of the Abominations are destroyed, as well as a 'Triad' of psychics and many of the scientists.

=== Mon, Aug 29 ===
* Aug 29 (Mon) - Hide out in an abandoned house and question first the scientists. By pretending to be allies of Boyar Rulinov, a scientist is tricked into giving up many details of the research.
* Interrogation reveals that an unknown contingent of Russians were attempting research that would allow them to create and control vast swarms of 'mindless' Fae abominations. They have had some success at producing a useful "weapon" - the beasts in the cages. They say that the other three (the Triad?) are very valuable resources, not easily replaced.

=== Tue, Aug 30 - Sep 1 ===
* The surviving scientists are delivered to James O'Keefe, former friend and current member of the Federal Government.
* Everyone travels to the Seelie Court to assess matters.

=== Fri, Sep 2 - Sep 6 ===
* Victor receives a letter from the Boyar inviting him and his allies to travel to Russia to meet with Tsarina Ineska.
* Before journeying to Russia, the group decides to spend 3 real world days (180 Seelie Court days) learning Russian and pursuing other interests in the Court.

=== Tue, Sep 6 ===
* The group travels to New York and they meet with Meridon Caine.

=== Tue, Sep 6 - Thu, Sep 8 ===
* ''(Session Fifteen - September, 2013)''
* Returning with this information to the Seelie Court, there was some indication that it would be a good idea if someone were to go to Russia to look into this situation. Fortuitously, we had received an invitation to visit Russia from a guy named Boyar Rulinov.
* We decided it might be nice to learn Russian before leaving, so we spent a few (real world) days / (Seelie Court) months learning the language in the Seelie Court.
* While most were in Seelie Court, Lila was back in Chicago looking after the Rose and the kids (Olivia and Jason).
* Before leaving for Russia on the Boyar's ship, the Lavadia(sp?), we stopped by to talk with Meridon Caine. We also met with Comte de la Fer, and he imparted a goodly quantity of information - including dark secrets of Russia.
** He described how communists were killed in the purge, along with most people (80% in urban areas, more like 25% in rural areas). Also described how another event happened in Egypt, with some similarities.
** Lovejoy is a communist sympathizer, although more with unions / wobblies and not with Leninists.
** The Comte says he is an entirely different person from Grimaldi, though he is in the same body. He says that Grimaldi is engaged to Usher's adopted niece - Nicoletta Usher (Roderick Usher's adopted daughter).

=== Thu, Sep 8 - Sep 17 ===
* From September 8-September 17, we traveled by ship and rail to Moscow.
* Travel to Russia with PCs Victor, Doc Obediah Walters, moonshiner JT, reporter Frank Lovejoy, photographer Jack Casey, hostess Lila Clark, and gangster Michael McMann - joined by Boris Valenko; accompanied by Adela (JT's girlfriend), Candide (Fae), and Wilhelm Bauermann (Candide's Companion).
** Wilhelm is dark-haired, in his mid-30's. He speaks German and French, but no Russian or English.
* September 17-18 was spent getting up to speed on Russian court etiquette and getting appropriate clothing.
* Finally encountering Vivian Cooper-Levitt, who appears to have near-terminal tuberculosis. She was traveling to Russia to consult with specialists there, having exhausted all options for either cure or remission in the U.S.

=== Sun, Sep 18 ===
* On the night of the 18th we attended a party, which also included Tsarina Ineska, Boyar Rulinov, and Madeline Usher. The Boyar invited us to an after-party meeting to discuss our reasons for being in Russia.
** Madeline Usher is a beautiful, imperious woman with pale blonde hair and pure-black eyes marking her as one of the Elders. She spent most time with the Tsarina Ineska, chatting like best girl friends.
** Also Eva Drosky, a Alchemist leader who was at the ball. Greying hair, seems like peasant stock but well-educated.
* While leaving around 1AM, they see Doc Walters to be having an affair with the Tsarina.
** Rulinov arranged for us to see Walters and the Tsarina. He suggests someone write to the Seelie - "It would be less painful that Medea hears of such new from a friend... rather than by casual gossip."
** Rulinov has pure-black eyes, marking him as an Elder.
** Vic hangs back with a young woman named Savina looking to see the sights.
* Summary of intelligence: Farbeq was a facilitator for setting up the Kansas City facility. Comte de la Fer and Boris Valenko gave a list of people to look into in Russia. Suspect Madeline Usher of being behind the facility in Kansas City.

=== Mon, Sep 19 ===
* ''(Session Sixteen - October, 2013)''

* After the party, the Americans talk back at the house they are staying at. Walters says that the Tsarina had invited her to his rooms, changed clothes, and asked him about Hannah.
** Tsarina has a fraught relationship with the Seelie Court, and has apparently heard about Hannah's emotional state.
* Discuss that Victor or the Unseelie Court (perhaps Elder Vandervecken in the Court) are likely channels of information from Russia to the Seelie Court.
* Hannah thinks that Usher was behind the hit on Macklin, done through a human agent named Vladimir Zavanov (brother of exiled Russian alchemist Anton Zavanov). Zavanov was sent to get Parkhurst's journals, and killed Macklin just because. He may have been ridden by one of the Elders, and the ritual was to feed the Elder.
** Candide says that in the old times, the Elders spoke through people, but would consume the humans they rode very quickly.
** Hannah perhaps says that she is related to the Tsarina, but we do not know how.
* Contrastingly, Rulinov says that Vandervecken was probably behind the hit on Macklin.

* In the early morning, first Doc Walters, and then Lovejoy was visited by a young girl in servant's clothes - who quietly knocks, then tells him in Russian "Please hurry, wake the others, get dressed, come with me." Eventually admits that she was sent by Boyar Rulinov. (This turns out to be "Tiva".)
** Taken via tunnel to a nearby building, over to a nightclub. A guy at the bar is 6'2", lanky, brown hair, green eyes. (Looks like modern actor Eric Balfour.) Introduced himself as as Dale Parsons or "James Hunter". Came highly recommended by Boris Valenko or Comte de la Fer. Says he is an enemy of "Joe the Boss".
** Says had friends in occult investigations. Alexi Vichnaveski and Boris Valenko set him up here in Moscow. Said that they didn't know what would happen - including probably the Tsar.
** Theodore "Buck" Holland is an African-American band leader from Kansas City, in the band in Moscow.
** Natasha is a 20-year-old blonde women who also works for him.
** Svetlana is another striking blonde woman going for the Marlena Dietrich look.
** Says he is friends with the girl Tiva, and trusts her judgment.

* Doc Walters says that the Tsarina offered to have Rulinov taken as a prisoner to the Seelie Court. She said that Madeline Usher wants the incubator kids (Olivia and Jason).
* Victor and Lila bring up that we should definitely respond to this offer. Preferably
* Walters suggests that we should ...

* Dale and Lila talk about magic. He says about the symbiosis of the Rodina (the land), the Tsar, and the Tsarina.
** There are things older than their bodies in the Tsar and Tsarina that are integrated.
** Says about the river of blood, Alexi may have suspected but others probably did not (including the Tsar).
** Suspects Madeline Usher of the plot with the mutant necrophage.

* Talk with Adela and Candide about the crimes of Rulinov. Adela wants Rulinov killed for his crimes, but Victor argued that his crimes were before he merged with an Elder.
** Adela and Candide explain that the companions of Elders are drained of all life essence, becoming lifeless husks.
** There were disembodied Elders, but they all embodied into Fae bodies with the rise of the ambient.

=== Tue, Sep 20 ===
* ''(Session Seventeen - November, 2013)''

* (Recap: Much earlier, back in Detroit, Victor had stolen 4 jars from Farbeck's house: one of aqua vitae, one with metal parts and two probes sticking out, and a strange liquor.)
* Found that the assassins were actually Russian soldiers looking for Boris.
* We discuss that Victor is under the influence of Rulinov, but we are not sure how or to what end - perhaps to take his side.
* The Americans plus Dale and his people go to talk to Alchemists - Yuri, Grigor, and Tachiko - in their workshop - a large industrial building.
** They say they have magical energy batteries, and make weapons for the elite imperial guard. They note that the Japanese have interesting ways of dealing with demons.
** We describe aqua vitae to them, and Grigor says that life essence can be extgracted safely with 24-48 hour recovery time, resting in the dark.
** Discuss the possible hiring an alchemist to go to the U.S., if the Tsarina gives her blessing.
** Ask about Vladimir Zabanov, killer of Danny Flynn, and his brother Anton. Vladimir had worked for Madeline Usher or a proxy. Anton was kicked out of alchemists for experimenting on people without consent. He thought that thousands of years ago humanity had advanced magica, and selective breeding could bring it back. He had gone to the U.S. to continue this work.

* Particularly from Lovejoy's request, we go to speak to an Outsider.
** Dale's protege Natasha draws a lesser circle of protection, which she, Lila and Casey are
** The alchemists flip some switches and stand behind a screen door, with Tachiko standing in front of it.
** A thing, hard to remember, that is black and evil with limbs that rolls forward with undulating movement. It grasps Tachiko's ankle, after which she goes rigid and then speaks with its voice.
** Lovejoy asks where it is from, and it reaches out a limb - which he accepts after asking the Alchemists if it is OK and getting a non-committal reply. He is comatose for several minutes, then comes back giggling uncontrollably.
** Lila asks who would come through first in the convergence. Through Tachiko, it replies "All of them".
** Doc Walters asks, "Will aqua vitae get you drunk?" - to which it replies "I do not know that."
** J.T. asks "What do you want?" - "Everything that you are is valuable."

* Victor wants to stay and Lovejoy is incoherent. We drug both and carry them back to the house.
** Lovejoy says that fighting the Outsiders is useless. He uses the lagoon and ocean metaphor, and says that we cannot fight a tidal wave with guns and weapons. We can only build a dike - but has no idea how. He also says that it is like a giant South American mold, which has no desires. He refers to his arm as "god scarred".

* We discuss about bringing the Boyar (Rulinov) back to the U.S., according to the Tsarina's request to Dr. Walters. Candide says that he could be killed here only by being caught in treason. Adelle says that he is most motivated by getting into the good graces of the Tsarina.
** Discuss having Rulinov framed for treason, and then killed by Russia.
** According to Adelle and Candide, Rulinov is guilty of murder of many people, and rape of the Queen - whom he infected with the necrophage. He was in the past a maker of beasts - and may be connected to those in Kansas City.

* The group goes to Dale's club, where Lila was invited to the club by John "Buck" Houghton. Adelle is introduced to jazz dancing. Candide takes a turn on the piano, bringing passionate new music from Harlem.
** Mostly local Russians - many well-off police and military.
** The band leader Buck takes a definite interest in Lila, and they dance when he is on his break, though she makes him work for her attention. Buck knows that his boss is into some weird stuff, but is not in the loop.
** Near midnight, there is a shift in the crowd. Lovejoy senses an aura of fear, as most of the military men in the crowd all walk out in lock-step into the street where they stand shoulder-to-shoulder. Dale says that they are preparing to deal with a small (?) incursion - and that it will be dangerous, but "the Rodina would appreciate the help."
** The club has a sandbagged machine-gun nest on the roof, and people are all prepared. Spotlights on the sky pick up a hole in space, showing unfamiliar stars, then a big winged creature comes through. The uniformed men open their eyes very wide and power seems to come through them - conducted through their bodies.
** The creature stopped near the club, and released tendrils below it.
** It was defeated, at the cost of many people. The remains of the creature rained down in ashen parts.
** Survivors briefly drink and then go to bed.

=== Wed, Sep 21 ===
* ''(Session Eighteen - December, 2013)''

* McMahon is looking into studying as an alchemist, and received a letter from the alchemical council in.
* Lovejoy describes his feeling of the Outsider and the Rodina (the Land). The Rodina seemed like a construct and more mechanical - a human-created imitation of something. The Outsider seemed more mechanical.
* Victor reports five things from talk to Rulianov. (1) about alchemy, said to talk to Eva Droskey; (2) about Boris Valenko, who berated the Czarina and was exiled from Russia; (3) asked about taking Vivien Cooper-Levitt back to Seelie court, he had not comment; (4) asked about Frank, suggested having an alchemist look him for Outsider taint; (5) asked about compulsion, which he admitted to. Said we will have to deal with Madeline Usher.
** Rulianov mentions on the side that he enjoys jazz. This is peculiar because the Elders can't appreciate music as part of their condition.
** Vivien agreed to meet Victor.

* Discuss goals, including: (1) acquiring a Russian alchemist to return to the U.S.; (2) find out what Madeline Usher is up to; (3) who was behind the scientists and project in Kansas City.

* Go to see Eva Droskey at her office in a big government building. She is an older (60-ish) woman of sturdy Russian stock and build.
** Lila senses that she has an invisible creature on her left shoulder, with its tail wrapped around her neck. She silently consults with it from time to time, during pauses in conversation.
** Pitch to her that there is opportunity for us to sponsor an alchemical institute in Detroit.
** Mentions a young lady, Mishka, in the South of Russia who is a journeyman expert in Outsiders; Janco is a Moscow local who also has some expertise in Outsiders.
** Question of the U.S. government has alchemical work: previously New World Industries (now moved to Switzerland), and later Pentheus (who picked up NWI employees), and present government organizer O'Keefe.

* Talk to Boyar to say we are leaving in a few days, and convey that if Usher wants to talk to us, she should do so before then.
** Frank feels that Rulianov is alien (like Outsiders but to a more limited extent).
** After a short visit, go to the ballet using box seats that Rulianov offered.
** Several then go to Dale's club after. Lila spends the evening with Buck.

=== Thu, Sep 22 ===
* Interviews with three journey and two master alchemists. All very competent and well-educated.
** Victor talked to Hannah ("Dr. Reiner") - who said that the Elder is not purely in control once it takes over a body. She says it would be better if he never left Russia, and that he is still largely responsible for his actions prior to the Elder inhabiting his body.
** Frank expresses opinion on what the Elder is like, claiming that the Elder has taken over the personality - like wearing an empty suit of skin. He says that the Outsider, the Elder within Rulianov, and the fae part of Fae are all similar.
** Candide says the old Elders had to withdraw to Outside, unable to live inside the world.
** The Elder took over his body in 1930 or 1931 - after the Queen's Blessing.

=== Fri, Sep 23 ===
* Interview with master alchemist Mishka Bersikov. Early 40s, dark-hair, very Slavic looking, fluent but accented English. Comes across as very professional and confident, but very remote personally. Seems uncaring about ethical questions.
** Says that her reason for coming is ambition - to be in charge of her own facility (?). She has travelled about a little within Eastern Europe, but not farther.
** Expertise in Outsiders - she studied a captured Outsider that was eventually put down by the Rodina. The only proven weapon against them is life essence, she says.
** She says that life essence depends on identity - thus cannot easily be drawn from animals. Tapping it causes permanent damage to identity.

=== Sat, Sep 24 ===

* Meeting with Madeline Usher. She indicated that she had some way to restore bloodlines to the Fae who had received the Queen's Blessing. After some argument, she gave JT a phone number that he could call while in the US that would (somehow) lead to proof of the validity of her claims. JT decided that he would not call the number until after the Incursion.
** She might have implied that she would be interfering in New York in some manner, or that might be a matter of interpretation.

'''Return to [[TheStarsAreRight:Main_Page|Main Page]]'''

[[category: The Irish Rose Matter]]

This campaign started as a new group in 2012, although several players had played in other campaigns in the world.

''Set in Detroit in 1932 - our oddly matched group of characters continue to balance gangsters, a mysterious medical condition, an odd preacher and his sister and a state hospital scandal - all in an effort to figure out the complicated workings of the under classes.''

==Detroit in 1932==

[[File:Detroit-flag.gif|thumb|c|The unofficial flag of Detroit, representing the three countries that have controlled the city.]]

Detroit - like all of urban America - reels under the crushing grip of the Great Depression. With the crash of the stock market in February 1930, the economy has been in a progressive tail-spin.

The largest employers in the area - the automobile manufacturers - have been hardest hit. Ford, Cadillac, Fisher, Buick, Packard, and the Detroit Electric Car Company have all curtailed production and let go thousands of workers. Auto factory jobs once thought to be a life-time guarantee of employment, have sadly become run by mere skeleton crews.

Now, two years into the crisis, with production of goods at a stand still, in a city of approximately 1.5 million people, over 225,000 are unemployed. Men who are unmarried have an easier time of it - they have no wives or children to worry about. Those who are married struggle on as best they can - knowing that each day without a job means another day they must find some method to feed the ones they care for.

[[File:Irish-Rose-Downtown-Map.png|thumb|c|Downtown Detroit, 1932]]

There are a few rays of hope. The Mayor's Commission provides boxes of apples for men to sell on the street corners at 5 cents per apple. The Capuchin Monks feed 800 per day through the Catholic churches. The idle Fisher Auto Factory has become the City Municipal Lodging House, with heat, lights, showers, and meals for unmarried men - provided by donations from the Fisher brothers. The White Towers restaurants serve free lunches once a month.

Clark Park has been set up as an emergency camp for evicted families. Private citizens and the National Guard have donated tents. The women have created sewing circles, while the children used the playgrounds and the men looked for work. Thrift Gardens have been planted along the outskirts to help with feeding the poverty-stricken. Physicians donate free medical care under the auspices of the Medical Relief Committee.

For those who have a few coins to rub together, prohibition is playing out its last gasp the best way it knows how - by letting the liquor flow through thousands and thousands of bars and taverns. Most operate openly with little interference from the police, serving up a mixture of poor grade liquor, gambling, worn and desperate women - and if a high class joint - a piano player working for tips.

===Russia===
Communist revolution overthrew Tsarist regime in 1917 and Russian nobility fled into exile in rest of Europe. '''Alexis Romanoff''' came out of hiding in early 1930, and was legitimated by Russian Court in exile and head of Russian Orthodox Church. Married Countess '''Ineska Rulionoff''' in February 1932, and headed into Russia in company of someone named [[Alexi_Vishnevesky|'''Alexi Vishnevesky''']] shortly thereafter. Russia further cut itself off from international community, but rumors of civil war, unrest, etc. trickled out. The new Tsarist regime was proclaimed last month, with Tsar Alexis retaining the reforms of Nicholas II. The communists have fled the country.

Britain and France have recognized the new government, with Hitler's Germany and the USA holding off.

This campaign started as a new group in 2012, although several players had played in other campaigns in the world.

''Set in Detroit in 1932 - our oddly matched group of characters continue to balance gangsters, a mysterious medical condition, an odd preacher and his sister and a state hospital scandal - all in an effort to figure out the complicated workings of the under classes.''

==Detroit in 1932==

[[File:Detroit-flag.gif|thumb|c|The unofficial flag of Detroit, representing the three countries that have controlled the city.]]

Detroit - like all of urban America - reels under the crushing grip of the Great Depression. With the crash of the stock market in February 1930, the economy has been in a progressive tail-spin.

The largest employers in the area - the automobile manufacturers - have been hardest hit. Ford, Cadillac, Fisher, Buick, Packard, and the Detroit Electric Car Company have all curtailed production and let go thousands of workers. Auto factory jobs once thought to be a life-time guarantee of employment, have sadly become run by mere skeleton crews.

Now, two years into the crisis, with production of goods at a stand still, in a city of approximately 1.5 million people, over 225,000 are unemployed. Men who are unmarried have an easier time of it - they have no wives or children to worry about. Those who are married struggle on as best they can - knowing that each day without a job means another day they must find some method to feed the ones they care for.

[[File:Irish-Rose-Downtown-Map.png|thumb|c|Downtown Detroit, 1932]]

There are a few rays of hope. The Mayor's Commission provides boxes of apples for men to sell on the street corners at 5 cents per apple. The Capuchin Monks feed 800 per day through the Catholic churches. The idle Fisher Auto Factory has become the City Municipal Lodging House, with heat, lights, showers, and meals for unmarried men - provided by donations from the Fisher brothers. The White Towers restaurants serve free lunches once a month.

Clark Park has been set up as an emergency camp for evicted families. Private citizens and the National Guard have donated tents. The women have created sewing circles, while the children used the playgrounds and the men looked for work. Thrift Gardens have been planted along the outskirts to help with feeding the poverty-stricken. Physicians donate free medical care under the auspices of the Medical Relief Committee.

For those who have a few coins to rub together, prohibition is playing out its last gasp the best way it knows how - by letting the liquor flow through thousands and thousands of bars and taverns. Most operate openly with little interference from the police, serving up a mixture of poor grade liquor, gambling, worn and desperate women - and if a high class joint - a piano player working for tips.

[[category: The Irish Rose Matter]]

== Plotlines ==

As I join, there are four main threads: (1) Investigating Dr. George Phillips - who has something to do with a blood disease and is a figure from Dr. Ecker's past ; (2) investigating Reverend Frank Scott and his "sister" - a shady preacher who works with the poor at Clark Park (James O'Keefe is interested in the preacher for some reason); (3) the beating of Katie Flynn by her common-law husband Danny; (4) working with the Purple Gang (JT Williams is seeking to expand his business

== August 1932 ==

=== Mon, Aug 1 ===
* ''(Start of Session One - November 2011) 08/01/1932 - 08/04/1932''
* Dr. DeWitt Ecker, JT Williams, James O'Keefe, and Victor Grayson find themselves thrown together at the Irish Rose speakeasy in Detroit, owing to events relating to "Katie" Flynn. Katie Flynn is severely beaten by her boyfriend, speak owner Danny Macklin. She is taken to Ecker's apartment for treatment for several broken ribs and other injuries. She begs the four men to retrieve her belongings from the Rose. They discover a hidden box which contains personal letters in French, a map of Los Angeles, and a medical journal. Dr. Ecker reads through the journal, which details a strange infection, with which Ms. Flynn appears to be inflicted.

=== Tue, Aug 2 ===
* Led by O'Keefe, the group goes looking for Reverend Scott. Dr. Ecker, JT, and O'Keefe visit the Herman Keefer Hospital for Communicable Diseases, where Dr. Ecker has an old score to settle with Dr. Philips. The four men locate a 5th letter belonging to Ms. Flynn, which has already been translated to English. The letter raises more questions than it answers, with allusions to Weiss, Steele, Petit-Jean, Fae, Communion, Flynn, and Gautier).

=== Wed, Aug 3 ===
* The group locates Reverend Scott at Clark Park. There is something peculiar about the way his sister paces behind the small group of people he is haranguing. They follow Mr. Scott, and he and his sister appear uncomfortably close. The group also follows Dr. Philips from the hospital. They steal some strange vials he has hidden in his car. JT sets up a meeting with the Purple Gang for Thursday.

=== Thu, Aug 4 ===
* The four men meet with the Purple Gang at an Italian restaurant.

=== Fri, Aug 5 ===
* ''(Start of Session Two - June 2012)''
* The four men meet in the Irish Rose to consider their next move. Williams recruits Drifter Joe and Dr. Obediah Walters. Ecker, Joe, Walters and O'Keefe break into the Herman Kiefer hospital to investigate Dr. George Phillips, an old co-worker and rival of Dr. Ecker. They find a modified patient file on Vivian Cooper-Levitt. Frank Lovejoy, a reporter for the Detroit Evening Press, is there interviewing hospital staff regarding an ongoing corruption scandal at the hospital and witnesses the four men leaving in an unlicensed car. He attempts to tail them, but loses them outside of the redlight district.
* Meanwhile, Victor and Lila secretly go to talk to Katie (a.k.a. 'Heather') Flynn, who is sick.
* Daniel Flynn is murdered, and left hanging by his heels from the ceiling of The Irish Rose. Frank Lovejoy is assigned to cover the story on behalf of the [[TheStarsAreRight:TheIrishRose:Article1|Detroit Evening Times]]. He, O'Keefe, Ecker and Walters are all admitted to the crime scene by the Detroit police.
* That night, James and JT stake out Dr. Phillips. They see a fancy car drop by and Phillips exchanges a small object for an envelope. The car goes back to Vivian Cooper-Levitt's mansion, so this was probably her family buying a vial of the serum.

=== Sat, Aug 6 ===
* Ecker, Williams and Joe kidnap Dr. Phillips as he leaves from his golf game, and discover details about the Fae blood condition (without that name).
* Lovejoy interviews Grayson and Clark in an attempt to determine the identities of the [[TheStarsAreRight:TheIrishRose:Article2|two mysterious doctors]] seen at the murder scene.

=== Sun, Aug 7 ===
* No one can find Rev. Frank Scott that day. (Lila has a dinner date with a boring cab driver Ralph.) That night, Lila has the journalist Lovejoy meet with Katie/Heather, bringing a discrete doctor with him - who turns out to be Dr. Walters (!). He gives her the injection of serum that Lila supplied from Dr. Ecker. Lila reciprocates by giving an interview with Lovejoy.

=== Mon, Aug 8 ===
* ''(Start of Session Three - August 2012)''
* Grand re-opening of the Irish Rose under a new manager, Susie Q, a figurehead who faced down Russian strongmen coming around for protection money.
* An unknown wealthy woman in her 30s (dressed in white silk and furs, with two bodyguards and a greyhound) came and argued with the new manager. She introduced herself as Voison. She gave Dr. Walters a flask. The bouncer, Joe, took a shot of this and found his senses enhanced and a high up.
* Negotiated more with Purple Gang - plan on smuggling trucks down from Canada on Friday. They have four trucks and drivers and a regular route, but will be testing us (as a gang).
* Still failed to find Rev. Frank Scott so far.
* "Doctor" Eckers left town after Lovejoy wrote an article about him exposing his lack of license. (The player, Scott, dropped out of the campaign.)
* A new manager is hired at the Irish Rose (Susie Q). Mysterious Russians seek an audience with Lovejoy and the Irish Rose crew. The Purple Gang tasks JT's 'gang' with importing unspecified items from Canada on the 12th (Friday). A wealthy woman, Voisoine du Montaine, gives Obediah a strange elixir after causing a scene at the Irish Rose.

=== Tue, Aug 9 ===
* ''(Start of Session Five - November 2012)''
* In the morning, Lila and J.T. track down the woman, Voison, at the Armitage House Hotel after searching around at several high class hotels. She is Voison Montaine from France. She is with a socialite set who go out partying all night.
* Several are checking up on Rev. Franklin Scott. He is young, around 18-20, and his sister Katherine is a year or two older. He works among the poor out of an empty storefront, that he is staying above, as the "United Assembly of God".
* That evening around 6, Jim goes to check in on Rev. Scott - he is working for some government types who will pick him up. He brings them out front to where some government-looking suits are standing, asking about a boy named Franklin. The two put a silver cable around the reverend, and he sprouted limbs or tentacles and grabbed one of the agents, encasing him in a cocoon and dragging him away. The other fired his pistol into him to no effect, with Lila and J.T. witnessing. They ran, but Jim ran in and collected the surviving agent. Victor stayed with the sister, and the reporter Lovejoy came and talked to her. She says she is from Ireland originally, but been in the U.S. for many years.
* Back at the Irish Rose, checking his wallet, he is a Treasury agent, Michael Barnes. Jim calls the Treasury agency to have them collect their agent.
* The reverend shows up again for the service, and gives a thin cover story to reporter Lovejoy.
* Late that night, Doc Walters arranges to run into Voison at a bar. She offers to make him fabulously wealthy by brewing the unusually elixir in a new facility.
* Lila and JT track Voisoine to her hotel. O'Keefe and Grayson take a gander at Rev. Scott's home/ministry. Lovejoy follows up on a variety of leads. Grayson, JT, and Lila assist O'Keefe in his efforts to assist some government agents in apprehending Rev. Scott. Scott (allegedly) sprouts tentacles and devours one of the agents. All but Grayson return to the Rose with the remaining agent. Obediah can detect nothing physically wrong with him. Grayson encounter Lovejoy at the Scott's ministry. The alley where the attack happened has a strange symbol (recently) carved, a trail of slime, and six bullet holes in the alley wall. Obediah follows Voisoine from her hotel so that he can 'accidentally' run into her at a bar. She offers him a job producing the mysterious elixir and gives him a check for $2000.

=== Wed, Aug 10 ===
* Article comes out of interview with Katie Flynn. Agent Carl Akins questions J.T., Lila, and Doc Walters about the incident with the reverend. J.T. and Lila deny they saw anything, claiming they stayed in the car - then Lila and the others

* ''(Start of Session Six - November 30, 2012)''

* The group is going to meet with the Russians (under a leader known as "The Boyar") on Thursday.
* J.T. and Lila do a test run of the crossing to Canada planned for Friday.
* Lovejoy finds out that there is a Parkhurt Medical Foundation in Buffalo, New York. They say that Parkhurt moved to L.A., and give an address.
* Lovejoy comes to the Irish Rose to question Lila, and argues with her - saying that she was the connecting element over Danny's murder along with Ecker's and Flynn's disappearances.
* Victor, J.T., Doc Walters, and Lila meet with The Boyar after being fed nice Russian food with bulky guards around - and they brought in Lovejoy. The Boyar is a well-dressed in his 30s who commands attention. Victor says about Voisson and "tentacle monster" to The Boyar.
* The Boyar says that the real Voisson died, and the woman is a pretender capitalizing on her reputation. He is Rulyinof - father of Ilya the Czarina.
* He says the Purple Gang are involved with shady elements of the "Travellers" - Flynn's people who have varying degrees of a disease of the blood, called a "necrophage" by Parkhurst. The disease can be brought out of dormancy by injury.
* Flynn was involved with Maturin de Bonavault, a possibly dead or dormant figure who knew a lot. The journal may have a treatment for the disease, which Voisson wants to use to involuntarily treat rivals in the Travellers.
* The Boyar want to suppress the treatment. He is around for only a few weeks, and then will return to Russia. Parkhurst disappeared from his foundation a year ago, and now no one knows where he is. The Boyar and Russia would be interested in finding out - as well as the formula for aqua vitae (the elixir).
* Michael Barnes (the presumed leader of the government agents that were trying to capture Scott) interrogates the Irish Rose crew. Lila mentions that Scott exhibited octopus-like tendencies. Barnes offers her a job (possibly also JT... and he had previously offered O'Keefe a job... no one offers Victor or Obediah anything... bunch of jerks). It is mentioned that Lovejoy was at the scene, poking around. Barnes asks Victor (who agrees) to lure Scott to an isolated area so that they can capture him without alarming people (at some later date). Victor meets again with the Russians and returns to the Rose with an offer of a meeting (to be held Thursday or Saturday). He also meets up with the Katherine and Franklin Scott at Clark Park.

=== Thu, Aug 11 ===
* ''(Start of Session Seven - March 17, 2013)''
* PI Daphne Ferris points us to the Harvest Trust company...
* Meeting with Harvest Trust. They want to pay $200 per week for vague work to help protect against "Outsiders".
* Courier later from Trust comes - a 15 year-old girl who looked too perfect and had scintillating eyes. She agreed to take a message to Dr. Parkhurst asking for contact.

=== Fri, Aug 12 ===
* Delivery for Purple Gang from Canada turned out to have wine, whisky, and at least 1, possibly 3 kids in a comatose state. (Turned out to have the 2 boys and 1 girl, all around 9-11 in age.) A courier from Harvest Trust showed up to give Doc Walters a retainer of $100.
* Talk with reporter Frank Lovejoy that night at the Irish Rose. That night, the same courier girl, Delphinus, returns to say that Parkhurst will meet them at 9 the next night. (...) Lila and J.T. follow her leaving and see her disappear into the shadows in an alley.
* (Give Lovejoy the letter from Mssr. Huber to Mssr. De Bonnevault found among Katie's papers at the Irish Rose.)

=== Sat, Aug 13 ===
* ''(Start of Session Eight - March 30, 2013)''
* Found that the Russians spoke well of Harvest Trust. Reporter Lovejoy found that Harvest Trust's public record of altruistic work checked out. Found Parkhurst last known in a house in L.A. with 10 or more people, owned by H. Rhyner.
* Sat evening met with Parkhurst in the Rose, who had two big bodyguards with beauty and strange eyes (a man and a woman). Parkhurst looks big, blonde, confident, and charismatic although not beautiful like the others. (He looks like a 30-year-old version of actor William Hopper.) He talked about the "necrophagic" disease, which over the course of it replaces the body, making the host stronger and more perceptive, and heal super quickly. Called "the condition" or "the birthright" (old-school), and makes a need to drink blood. The elixir replaces the need for blood, but creates a dependence, and they can no longer process blood after a while.
* Parkhurst talked about Carl Ellis who was the founder of Harvest Trust. Also about his own clinic, the Parkhurst Institute for Medical Research.
* J.T. told Parkhurst about smuggling the kids for the Purple Gang. He said he would do research and track them down. He confirmed that Voisson is an imposter is ... There are good and bad Russians, but creating new aqua vitae is not
* Lila talked to Parkhurst about him and Katie/Heather - who apparently was used to safeguard the notes. She said that he should copy and release them, and noted that he had endangered Katie, but he says that she knew what she was getting into.

=== Sun, Aug 14 ===
* Bought a farmhouse from a farmer with cash from Voisson, to use as a base for producing aqua vitae. J.T. sent for his cousins Rufus and R.J. to oversee the brewing and distilling half of the operation. Rufus is muscle/driver, while R.J. knows the ropes of distilling. (Doc Walters would oversee the second half, using details yet to be provided by Voisson.)

=== Mon, Aug 15 ===
* During the day, finalized the deed on the farmhouse. Parkhurst returns and says he had found kids at a farmhouse, and asked if we would help rescue the kids. In the evening, took trucks and attacked the farm with Parkhurst along with his two bodyguards and some human mercenaries. Defenders included a number people with the Condition. Victor was tossed out of a second-story window and hurt badly. In a hidden room, found a makeshift operating room where someone was dissected along with footprints to a car, and rescued 2 of the 3 kids. Lovejoy brought a photographer along who took many pictures of the events, including him carrying out the kids.
* Escape in the trucks, taking the two kids and the dissecting table covered in dark-colored blood. Parkhurst says that the two kids have the Condition, but are not part of his community in New Jersey.

=== Tue, Aug 16 ===
* ''(Start of Session Nine - April 13, 2013)''
* Began setting up the operation on the farm. One of Parkhurst's bodyguards (the man) and two human mercenaries (men) are staying at the farm. Take the dissecting table from the rescue to here. The farm now has two trucks and a car supplied by Parkhurst. The girl is silent, while the boy still seems to be in a deep sleep, though neither have obvious injuries.
* The bodyguard's name is Maurice. He is a big, dark-haired man with a small queue and hazel-gold eyes. The two mercs names are Robert (the big and bulky one) and Luke (the smaller one).
* J.T. comes back to Detroit to get supplies and recruits Lila. They get medical supplies, lots of groceries, furnishings like blankets.
* The farm has a cow, some pigs and chickens, and a cat or two.
* Bodyguard talks to the girl alone - and tells Doc Walters that the boy and girl are Jason (10) and Olivia (12). They are not related. Maurice doesn't know where the parents are. They have been separated from their family since at least March. They had spent some time in Egypt, and were kept sedated/drugged for much of the time.
* Taking advice from one of the two mercs, Doc Walters sets up a blood transfusion from the merc Robert to the boy. (Those with the Condition are universal receivers and donors.) The boy's condition improves but he does not wake up.
* Doc Walters entrusted J.T. with the $2000 from Voisson and $100 from Harvest Trust. We had not gotten any money from the Purple Gang for the one test run we did.
* Lila does a New Orleans voodoo ritual over Jason, with permission from Olivia and Maurice. Jason seems to improve, but does not wake up.
* During dinner, J.T. lets slip that we will be producing aqua vitae. Maurice, as one with the Condition, says that many will be very interested - since a.v. is the only thing that simulates alcohol, and it is very rare (only known source gone). Maurice told Olivia that Dr. Walters would "save the Queen."
* Olivia tells Lila that her parents are in England, named Rebecca and David (no last name). She tells J.T. and Doc Walters, but not Parkhurst's people.
* Victor has Dr. Parkhurst's journal, and trades it to the Russians in return for their promise to help Katie/Heather.
* Dr. Parkhurst shows up again at the farm and hears about his journal being given to the Russians. He has no leads yet on the childrens' parents.

=== Wed, Aug 17 ===

* ''(Session Ten - April 28, 2013)''
* New characters newpaper photographer Jack Casey (played by Chris) and Purple Gang member Michael McMann (played by Gene).
* McMann is a tall (6'2") red-headed man in his mid-20s, who immigrated from Ireland 2 or 3 years ago. He is a member of the Purple Gang.
* McMann and Casey talk to J.T. at the Irish Rose. According to McMann, the Purple Gang says that they were delivering the kids for a Lorenzo Farbeck. McMann heads to the farm where the children were being held prisoner.
* In the Purple Gang, there are 4-5 different bosses with independent rackets. McMann works for Abe Axel, who is a sub-boss for ??. J.T. got a letter from the someone else (liquor boss) in the gang who wanted to set up a meeting, and was satisfied with our performance.
* J.T. writes to the liquor boss asking to meet at noon on Friday the 19th. In Victor's absence, Michael temporarily takes over running gambling at the Irish Rose. The meeting
* Purple Gang lead by the Jewish brothers Joe, Abraham, Raymond, and Isadore Bernstein.

=== Fri, Aug 19 ===
* J.T. and Victor go to meet the Izzy Bernstein, with Eddie Fletcher and Abe Axel along with muscle McMann. They meet at a room at the LaSalle Hotel, the swankiest in town. Bernstein agrees to continuing business relations.
* Casey shows his pictures from the farm: picture of the girl bodyguard Francis that shows small fangs, along with a picture of the discolored blood. Lila, Victor, and J.T. reassure him and tell him most of the story.
* Talking to McMann, he says that Lorenzo Farbeck was the one who smuggled the kids in. He is part of some medical research company.
* J.T. and Lila take the photographer Jack Casey blindfolded to the distillery farm. Jason by now is walking around and doing fine. He takes pictures as proof to McMann that the two kids are doing fine.

* Late that night, J.T., Lila, Victor, Casey, and McMann all go up to Canada to try to track down where the kids were delivered. They search the farmhouse by the drop point where rum-runners occasionally crash. In the cellar they find a locked bolt-hole, with stocks of whisky, and medical examination room with a flat table with various equipment including bottles of opium, ether, etc. There is a hidden safe with a few hundred dollars, maps, a ledger and schedule-book, and American and Canadian IDs. (Lila secretly pockets $20.)
* McMann finds the burnt remains of a book that has pages that survived. In the center of a ledger are 4 pages of medical notes, in an old-fashioned style; followed by 2 pages of a personal letter.
* In a hidden spot in the basement, Victor finds an old envelope with expensive stationary - dated June 1889, in a woman's handwriting, a letter to someone named Ruth on the farm, from her sister Anne. The letter is about a German, Matthias Dargon, buying property from her father with suspicious insistence. Anne is concerned that they will sell the farm.
* They wait hidden to see the night's shipment. With J.T. providing a distraction noise in the woods, Lila runs up to check the back. There is a package for Lorenzo Forbeck, shipped originally from New York. It feels like it has six half-gallon glass containers full of liquid.

=== Sat, Aug 20 ===
* Early in the morning, a well-dressed Italian-looking man with wavy dark hair in a fancy sedan arrives and picks up that crate. McMann identifies this as Lorenzo Forbeck. They follow his car back to Detroit, to a house in an expensive rich district - the house where we met the Russians. This is the house of Vivian Cooper-Levitt. He seems to be staying there.
* Lila tells McMann about the source of this.

=== Sun, Aug 21 ===
* ''(Start of Session Eleven- May 27, 2013)''
* Lovejoy interviews Olivia and Jason.
* Lila, J.T., Casey, Walters, and Lovejoy journey through a portal to the Seelie Court.
* Note background - there were 7 bodies at the site of the rescue attempt, including 2 known Purple Gang members - plus 3-4 blobs of ichor.
* Photographer Casey develops his pictures of the burnt documents from the Canada farmhouse. He has lifted out good information on the 4 pages of medical notes, and semi-good information on 2 middle pages of a personal letter.
* The medical notes are a rough draft, written in a man's handwriting. It concerns a mutation in the Condition - not the one that Parkhurst talked about or the serum.
* There are also two middle pages of a letter written by Katie to Maturin. It also mentions a Franz, Jean-Marc, and Mssr. De Bonnevault.
* Lila and J.T. bring Lovejoy and Casey blindfolded to the farmhouse. They bring Lovejoy up to speed with what they found at the Canada house. Lovejoy has come to interview the two Fae children, Olivia and Jason. Lila and Maurice are in the room for the talk, but the kids are overjoyed to see him - since Olivia knows him as the man who rescued her.
* Olivia says she was attacked and knocked out in her house in Britain outside Bailey about 1 year ago. She only heard of Parkhurst from her kidnappers - as Regent to the Queen of the Seelie Court. They moved around the world, including Egypt where a rescue attempt happened in Thebes. Thebans set the house on fire, but then Paige St. Mar chased them off using illusions. The boss was not a human or someone with the Condition - he had eyes with pure-black irises, tall and big with brown hair.
* Jason says he is from Ohio and then later California, where he was kidnapped from a house near L.A. He says he saw Parkhurst once when he was in that house.
* They report that Ricky was an American who was kidnapped last.

* J.T. and Lila returned Lovejoy and Casey to Detroit blindfolded. At the Rose, there was a note from Voisson that she will be in town on the 25th and will meet there.
* Parkhurst arrives in the evening, fresh from a fight. He says to keep the Katie-Maturin letter a secret. Matthias Dargon was a mover and shaker from before Parkhurst's time - not a Fae. He implies the time difference and longevity, but hasn't said it clearly. Doc Walters admits that he was taken by Parkhurst to the community on the 14th to talk to people - he is mysterious about this.
* Parkhurst rests for a few hours, while they bring Lovejoy and Casey back to see him. He reports later that the third child, Ricky, is close to being rescued.

* Parkhurst takes J.T., Lila, Lovejoy, Casey, and Doc Walters through the root cellar into the community - supposedly in New Jersey, though the glow in the sky suggests something strange. There are apparently ~300 with the Condition, ~200 human staff, and ~400+ companions and other humans. There are no modern amenities, but various livestock except heavy plow animals or wagons. Parkhurst warns against seeing the "horses".

* They meet Theo - a man in pseudo-Renaissance-style clothes with riding boots. He is short (5'4"), stocky, and appears about 50 years old - with pure black irises. He tells them that the children were kidnapped to be used as tools - talented sneak thieves - by a Devarney. He intended to infect the children with a disease to strike at the Fae, inducing an atavism to a feral, animalistic state like the "Before Times". Devarney is dead now.
* He explains the time ratio of 60:1 with the community, and the Fae immortality - saying the oldest ever is around 1500 years old, while around here the oldest is probably around 300. He refers to the "Before Times" - before the Queen took over 3 years ago. After at first saying that he didn't know about them or their parents, he reports that their parents are dead.
* He says that the necro-phage is from Outside the universe, from a dangerous dimension that will begin incursions starting in October in New York. The three communities: Seelie Court in New Jersey, the less civilized Unseelie Court in New York, and the dangerous Enclave in eastern Europe (Devarney's group).

* The visitors briefly meet Theo's daughter, Sofia Weiss. They then split up and wander the community to learn more.

=== Sun, Aug 21 ===
* ''(Session Twelve - May 31, 2013)''
* The group (including Victor, now) have long conversations with Theo Weiss (who offers them some tasks) and Hannelore Rhyner.
* Theo wants to understand what is where the children were going (to get at the heart of the plan to try to use them to infect the community).
* Hannelore helps clarify a lot of the unanswered questions surrounding Katie/Heather Flynn.
* We learn that Parkhurst is an evil fiend (well, that's how Victor interpreted it!)
* The mystery of the barn is resolved.
* Sun, Aug 21: The group wander the community and discuss issues and evidence. J.T. found from Parkhurst that he found Ricky in Kansas City.
* Lovejoy theorizes about Macklin's murder - citing off the Seelie, Unseelie, unaligned, the Enclave, and the Russians (who might have protected some "Before Times" Fae using obscure magical technology).
* According to Doc, Parkhurst says that he gave Katie his journal. (He gave it supposedly because of the schism over the treatment within the community.)
* Theo says that Parkhurst has a high sense of personal honor, and is unlikely to lie. The Seelie court was created here 6 months ago shallow world time. A woman named Hannah, who also became Medea in 1929 just before the night of miracles, who also become the Queen. The Queen is a separate power figure - the Queen of Air and Darkness, while Medea is the one who brought the change (in France in 1929). The community was only created 6 months ago; while the Fae took residence about 4 months ago.
* The necrophage came here in an incursion ages ago. Those infected go into a 3-day transformation after they seemed to die. They adopt a new name and personality. They used to live alone or in small family groups. After many centuries, they become incorporeal Elders. (Vandervecken, who was "killed" in Kansas City a few years ago, was 700 years old and just recently became an elder. He is leader of the Unseelie.)
* There is magical life force, called the Ambient, which started rising years ago and took a giant leap up about 3-4 years ago. A group of Elders contacted the Enclave, who became riders of the Fae of the Enclave, allowing them to survive the Ambient. He says that the Fae cannot do magic.
* Heather, Franz, and Jean-Marc were travelling with Maturin De Bonnevault, who was a very old Nightfolk obsessed with Hanna/Medea, acting for the Enclave. When Maturin vanished, Heather was captured by Parkhurst. (We note the Farbeck had Heather's letter to Maturin. There was a Farbeck in the history of the Enclave - not clear if it is the same.)
* The Seelie and Unseelie have non-aggression agreement, and were both transformed by Medea.
* Theo says that Matthias Dargon (mentioned in the letter) was a cult leader, dead now. Carl Ellis is a good man. Hannibal King keeps his word.

* They arrange with Parkhurst to meet with Hannah. Looks to be in her late 30s, with brilliant grey eyes, with waist-length shiny black hair and pale skin. (Like a Gothic heroine)
* Hasn't seen Heather since she left L.A. Mssr. Huber might have information. (Mentions she had left Buffalo to go to L.A.)
* Says she has a position of leadership - more as a spiritual leader. Mentions raising children, the goals. harm children, impede progress, ...
* "I do not feel they owe me... chosen by ?fate?" ... was an alienist - into objective observation... Says that Dr. Parkhurst is the right person for the job and is trustworthy despite tendency to violence and to fly off the handle.
* Re: Theo, he feels he must to do what he must to preserve the shallow world...
* Ultimately, she would like the walls of the court broken down, living among the rest of you...
* She explains the current theory is that the space come through is inhabited by entities - some thinking, some not - and the barrier to that space is weakening. She believes this entirely, and wants to help...
* Maturin De Bonnevault was the head of the household, attended by majordomo Franz Huber, bodyguard Jean (professional criminal in France) and his son "Petit Jean", and Heather (infrequent companion to Maturin). Maturin tried to arrange Parkhurst to be Hannah's companion, and failing that he kidnapped Hanah from her house in Buffalo. Parkhurst located them, but Maturin escaped having done terrible things to Hannah.
* What happened to Franz (in the incident in the letter)? Hanna drank from him (Communion), and he was adversely affected.
* Parkhurst went crazy, and possibly tortured Miss Flynn to get information on where Maturin went. He was no longer a doctor in spirit after that. She was loyal to Maturin but gave out information, then became prisoner of the Seelie.
* Parkhurst found his serum a failure and stopped work on it. He sent copies to Theo Weiss and Mr. Ellis. Hanna asked Parkhurst for the serum; he refused; loyal Seelie beat him up to get the serum from him. He then gave the journal to Heather, telling her to take it far from the Seelie.
* Alanna shows up, young woman known as "Mistress of the Hunt". She shows them the horses, which look like jet-black horses with flexible necks, sharp teeth, and intelligent eyes. She warns especially to avoid their bite which is poisonous. J.T. and Grayson both try riding them in the corral, under Alanna's supervision. Grayson does particularly well, and J.T. does well enough to avoid being injured.

=== Mon, Aug 22 ===
* ''(Session Thirteen - July 5, 2013)''
* JT, Victor, and Obediah (and maybe Lila) remain behind at the Seelie Court for a couple of months, while the others return.
* Parkhurst sends Candide to stay with the group, and especially to protect Doc Walters. He is a small man, without the good looks of most of the fae, but still the brilliant blue eyes. He has a muddled European accent.
* In the evening, JT, Victor, and Candide meet with Axler. Axler indicates that something big is going to happen in the next few weeks and he wants the Irish Rose crew to be involved. JT indicates he is not interested in things like kidnapping children and Axler assures him that the job won't effect his delicate sensibilities.

=== Tue, Aug 23 ===
* Victor and Candide stakeout Cooper-Levitt's house and see Farbeq leave. They decide to break in and poke around. They (well, mostly Victor) foolishly steal 4 bottles discovered in a box (the same box that was retrieved from the Purple Gang drop site).

=== Wed, Aug 24 - Aug 27 ===
* ''(Session Fourteen - July 14, 2013)''
* Over the course of these days:
* --Obediah meets with Voisoine. She offers to give him the secret in return for 'a favor to be chosen later' or to just supply him the ingredient for mixing. He defers this deal while he determines what he wants to do. When Candide departs for KC, Obediah returns to the Seelie Court.
* -- McMann continues to poke around trying to find the missing children. On the 27th, he encounters a prostitute who gives him a lead on Farbeq.
* Gangster Michael McMann vandalized J.T.'s car in order to get his attention. He gives hints to the group that Farbeck is based out of Kansas City, where the other ritual murder like the Irish Rose murder occurred.
* -- Lovejoy does some more research and heads down to Kansas City on the trail of the last missing child. He follows up various leads and eventually locates the likely location of the children at a farmhouse visited by the murdered housing agent, Bitterman.
* -- Candide mostly stays with Obediah to protect him. He journeys to Kansas City on the 27th to help locate the missing child with his 'special vision/senses'.
* -- JT and Victor revisit the Seelie Court before traveling down to KC to help locate the last missing child. They blunder about a bit, but eventually they show up to assist Lovejoy in his investigations.

=== Sun, Aug 27 ===
* Aug 27 (Sat) - Most of the group travel down to Kansas City.
* Retracing Bitterman's movements, Candide finds that Fae of some sort are located at an abandoned farmhouse.

=== Sun, Aug 28 ===
* Aug 28 (Sun) - Discussions among each other in a Kansas City hotel room in the afternoon.
* Lovejoy got an anonymous letter via the courier from someone claiming to know Flynn, based on reading his articles, and were interested in helping rescue the kids. Said congrats re: article. Contacted others regarding Purple Gang, and that their future is "anything but rosy". If in New York, would express their gratitude in "some tangible manner".
** Generous funding into the background of the children. Dr. Parkhurst is an old associate, but had lost track of him, and had heard he fell prey to the same blood diseases that he had fought to cure. Miss Flynn is an old acquaintance who had been under Parkhurst's care. Mentions Institute in Berlin and places in Moscow working to make "biological weapons" of blood disease, and sterilization of afflicted in Germany. Also mentions New World Industries, and a Dr. Sergei Sergeivitch doing blood research.
* Lovejoy wrote to the Boyar to ask about the institute in Moscow.
** The Boyar wrote back saying that he was surprised at our Fae connections (what he called the "American camp"). He does confirm that the institute in Moscow is a personal charity of the Czarina, and is doing research into blood disease. He also implies that the Czar is infected.
* Katie wrote to say that some people in the community had wanted to kill Hannah before she became Queen. The Seelie and Unseelie are under the queen's protection. The Enclave had joined with the Elders to survive the rising ambient, and were the ones pushing to kill her.
* Bitterman was a guy murdered in the style as Macklin. Got a list of farms that he had visited, and Candide had sensed other infected on a particular farm. This fits with Parkhurst's information that there was a trail on the missing kids leading to Kansas City.
* (Vic may think he is going crazy.)
* McMann offers to go out and drive by the farmhouse to check it out, and Lila offers to go with him. J.T. objects to this, and Lila goes out for a walk.
* Around 6PM, Candide arrives, and brings in four people with him - young Samson (America), Robespierre (French), Diego de la Vega (Mexican), and Miranda (British).
* We raid the farmhouse at around midnight. Just before the raid, Lovejoy reveals to the others that he has instructed his partner to call the police to raid the place at 4AM.
* Samson and Robespierre go in the back followed by Lovejoy and Lila. Candide, Diego, and Miranda go in the front followed by J.T. McMann watches from the front yard.
* J.T. picks the front lock quietly, while Samson and Robespierre climb inhumanly to the second floor up the back. However, the whole farmhouse is empty - stripped clean of any furniture and most interior walls. There is a door set in the middle of the first floor. Lila picks the back door lock and joins the rest with Lovejoy.
* Underground, find a facility with dead bodies in a refrigerated room, and 200+ feral people (Fae "abominations") in cages.
* In the attack, rescue 9 companions. In an attack on the final lab, the Seelie brought to help in the assault murder the American scientists who surrender, on orders from Candide. They kill a "Triad" of 3 ritual magicians / psychics (?) along with 4 scientists. However, after stopping them, we do capture 5 scientists.
* Lovejoy documents this, and then waits with one scientist for the police to arrive.
* The companions have many needle marks and many marks of "communion" - they were terrorized and held for from 3 months to a year and half.
* In the attack, all of the Abominations are destroyed, as well as a 'Triad' of psychics and many of the scientists.

=== Mon, Aug 29 ===
* Aug 29 (Mon) - Hide out in an abandoned house and question first the scientists. By pretending to be allies of Boyar Rulinov, a scientist is tricked into giving up many details of the research.
* Interrogation reveals that an unknown contingent of Russians were attempting research that would allow them to create and control vast swarms of 'mindless' Fae abominations. They have had some success at producing a useful "weapon" - the beasts in the cages. They say that the other three (the Triad?) are very valuable resources, not easily replaced.

=== Tue, Aug 30 - Sep 1 ===
* The surviving scientists are delivered to James O'Keefe, former friend and current member of the Federal Government.
* Everyone travels to the Seelie Court to assess matters.

=== Fri, Sep 2 - Sep 6 ===
* Victor receives a letter from the Boyar inviting him and his allies to travel to Russia to meet with Tsarina Ineska.
* Before journeying to Russia, the group decides to spend 3 real world days (180 Seelie Court days) learning Russian and pursuing other interests in the Court.

=== Tue, Sep 6 ===
* The group travels to New York and they meet with Meridon Caine.

=== Tue, Sep 6 - Thu, Sep 8 ===
* ''(Session Fifteen - September, 2013)''
* Returning with this information to the Seelie Court, there was some indication that it would be a good idea if someone were to go to Russia to look into this situation. Fortuitously, we had received an invitation to visit Russia from a guy named Boyar Rulinov.
* We decided it might be nice to learn Russian before leaving, so we spent a few (real world) days / (Seelie Court) months learning the language in the Seelie Court.
* While most were in Seelie Court, Lila was back in Chicago looking after the Rose and the kids (Olivia and Jason).
* Before leaving for Russia on the Boyar's ship, the Lavadia(sp?), we stopped by to talk with Meridon Caine. We also met with Comte de la Fer, and he imparted a goodly quantity of information - including dark secrets of Russia.
** He described how communists were killed in the purge, along with most people (80% in urban areas, more like 25% in rural areas). Also described how another event happened in Egypt, with some similarities.
** Lovejoy is a communist sympathizer, although more with unions / wobblies and not with Leninists.
** The Comte says he is an entirely different person from Grimaldi, though he is in the same body. He says that Grimaldi is engaged to Usher's adopted niece - Nicoletta Usher (Roderick Usher's adopted daughter).

=== Thu, Sep 8 - Sep 17 ===
* From September 8-September 17, we traveled by ship and rail to Moscow.
* Travel to Russia with PCs Victor, Doc Obediah Walters, moonshiner JT, reporter Frank Lovejoy, photographer Jack Casey, hostess Lila Clark, and gangster Michael McMann - joined by Boris Valenko; accompanied by Adela (JT's girlfriend), Candide (Fae), and Wilhelm Bauermann (Candide's Companion).
** Wilhelm is dark-haired, in his mid-30's. He speaks German and French, but no Russian or English.
* September 17-18 was spent getting up to speed on Russian court etiquette and getting appropriate clothing.
* Finally encountering Vivian Cooper-Levitt, who appears to have near-terminal tuberculosis. She was traveling to Russia to consult with specialists there, having exhausted all options for either cure or remission in the U.S.

=== Sun, Sep 18 ===
* On the night of the 18th we attended a party, which also included Tsarina Ineska, Boyar Rulinov, and Madeline Usher. The Boyar invited us to an after-party meeting to discuss our reasons for being in Russia.
** Madeline Usher is a beautiful, imperious woman with pale blonde hair and pure-black eyes marking her as one of the Elders. She spent most time with the Tsarina Ineska, chatting like best girl friends.
** Also Eva Drosky, a Alchemist leader who was at the ball. Greying hair, seems like peasant stock but well-educated.
* While leaving around 1AM, they see Doc Walters to be having an affair with the Tsarina.
** Rulinov arranged for us to see Walters and the Tsarina. He suggests someone write to the Seelie - "It would be less painful that Medea hears of such new from a friend... rather than by casual gossip."
** Rulinov has pure-black eyes, marking him as an Elder.
** Vic hangs back with a young woman named Savina looking to see the sights.
* Summary of intelligence: Farbeq was a facilitator for setting up the Kansas City facility. Comte de la Fer and Boris Valenko gave a list of people to look into in Russia. Suspect Madeline Usher of being behind the facility in Kansas City.

=== Mon, Sep 19 ===
* ''(Session Sixteen - October, 2013)''

* After the party, the Americans talk back at the house they are staying at. Walters says that the Tsarina had invited her to his rooms, changed clothes, and asked him about Hannah.
** Tsarina has a fraught relationship with the Seelie Court, and has apparently heard about Hannah's emotional state.
* Discuss that Victor or the Unseelie Court (perhaps Elder Vandervecken in the Court) are likely channels of information from Russia to the Seelie Court.
* Hannah thinks that Usher was behind the hit on Macklin, done through a human agent named Vladimir Zavanov (brother of exiled Russian alchemist Anton Zavanov). Zavanov was sent to get Parkhurst's journals, and killed Macklin just because. He may have been ridden by one of the Elders, and the ritual was to feed the Elder.
** Candide says that in the old times, the Elders spoke through people, but would consume the humans they rode very quickly.
** Hannah perhaps says that she is related to the Tsarina, but we do not know how.
* Contrastingly, Rulinov says that Vandervecken was probably behind the hit on Macklin.

* In the early morning, first Doc Walters, and then Lovejoy was visited by a young girl in servant's clothes - who quietly knocks, then tells him in Russian "Please hurry, wake the others, get dressed, come with me." Eventually admits that she was sent by Boyar Rulinov. (This turns out to be "Tiva".)
** Taken via tunnel to a nearby building, over to a nightclub. A guy at the bar is 6'2", lanky, brown hair, green eyes. (Looks like modern actor Eric Balfour.) Introduced himself as as Dale Parsons or "James Hunter". Came highly recommended by Boris Valenko or Comte de la Fer. Says he is an enemy of "Joe the Boss".
** Says had friends in occult investigations. Alexi Vichnaveski and Boris Valenko set him up here in Moscow. Said that they didn't know what would happen - including probably the Tsar.
** Theodore "Buck" Holland is an African-American band leader from Kansas City, in the band in Moscow.
** Natasha is a 20-year-old blonde women who also works for him.
** Svetlana is another striking blonde woman going for the Marlena Dietrich look.
** Says he is friends with the girl Tiva, and trusts her judgment.

* Doc Walters says that the Tsarina offered to have Rulinov taken as a prisoner to the Seelie Court. She said that Madeline Usher wants the incubator kids (Olivia and Jason).
* Victor and Lila bring up that we should definitely respond to this offer. Preferably
* Walters suggests that we should ...

* Dale and Lila talk about magic. He says about the symbiosis of the Rodina (the land), the Tsar, and the Tsarina.
** There are things older than their bodies in the Tsar and Tsarina that are integrated.
** Says about the river of blood, Alexi may have suspected but others probably did not (including the Tsar).
** Suspects Madeline Usher of the plot with the mutant necrophage.

* Talk with Adela and Candide about the crimes of Rulinov. Adela wants Rulinov killed for his crimes, but Victor argued that his crimes were before he merged with an Elder.
** Adela and Candide explain that the companions of Elders are drained of all life essence, becoming lifeless husks.
** There were disembodied Elders, but they all embodied into Fae bodies with the rise of the ambient.

=== Wed, Sep 21 ===
* ''(Session Seventeen - November, 2013)''

* (Recap: Much earlier, back in Detroit, Victor had stolen 4 jars from Farbeck's house: one of aqua vitae, one with metal parts and two probes sticking out, and a strange liquor.)
* Found that the assassins were actually Russian soldiers looking for Boris.
* We discuss that Victor is under the influence of Rulinov, but we are not sure how or to what end - perhaps to take his side.
* The Americans plus Dale and his people go to talk to Alchemists - Yuri, Grigor, and Tachiko - in their workshop - a large industrial building.
** They say they have magical energy batteries, and make weapons for the elite imperial guard. They note that the Japanese have interesting ways of dealing with demons.
** We describe aqua vitae to them, and Grigor says that life essence can be extgracted safely with 24-48 hour recovery time, resting in the dark.
** Discuss the possible hiring an alchemist to go to the U.S., if the Tsarina gives her blessing.
** Ask about Vladimir Zabanov, killer of Danny Flynn, and his brother Anton. Vladimir had worked for Madeline Usher or a proxy. Anton was kicked out of alchemists for experimenting on people without consent. He thought that thousands of years ago humanity had advanced magica, and selective breeding could bring it back. He had gone to the U.S. to continue this work.

* Particularly from Lovejoy's request, we go to speak to an Outsider.
** Dale's protege Natasha draws a lesser circle of protection, which she, Lila and Casey are
** The alchemists flip some switches and stand behind a screen door, with Tachiko standing in front of it.
** A thing, hard to remember, that is black and evil with limbs that rolls forward with undulating movement. It grasps Tachiko's ankle, after which she goes rigid and then speaks with its voice.
** Lovejoy asks where it is from, and it reaches out a limb - which he accepts after asking the Alchemists if it is OK and getting a non-committal reply. He is comatose for several minutes, then comes back giggling uncontrollably.
** Lila asks who would come through first in the convergence. Through Tachiko, it replies "All of them".
** Doc Walters asks, "Will aqua vitae get you drunk?" - to which it replies "I do not know that."
** J.T. asks "What do you want?" - "Everything that you are is valuable."

* Victor wants to stay and Lovejoy is incoherent. We drug both and carry them back to the house.
** Lovejoy says that fighting the Outsiders is useless. He uses the lagoon and ocean metaphor, and says that we cannot fight a tidal wave with guns and weapons. We can only build a dike - but has no idea how. He also says that it is like a giant South American mold, which has no desires. He refers to his arm as "god scarred".

* We discuss about bringing the Boyar (Rulinov) back to the U.S., according to the Tsarina's request to Dr. Walters. Candide says that he could be killed here only by being caught in treason. Adelle says that he is most motivated by getting into the good graces of the Tsarina.
** Discuss having Rulinov framed for treason, and then killed by Russia.
** According to Adelle and Candide, Rulinov is guilty of murder of many people, and rape of the Queen - whom he infected with the necrophage. He was in the past a maker of beasts - and may be connected to those in Kansas City.

* The group goes to Dale's club, where Lila was invited to the club by John "Buck" Houghton. Adelle is introduced to jazz dancing. Candide takes a turn on the piano, bringing passionate new music from Harlem.
** Mostly local Russians - many well-off police and military.
** The band leader Buck takes a definite interest in Lila, and they dance when he is on his break, though she makes him work for her attention. Buck knows that his boss is into some weird stuff, but is not in the loop.
** Near midnight, there is a shift in the crowd. Lovejoy senses an aura of fear, as most of the military men in the crowd all walk out in lock-step into the street where they stand shoulder-to-shoulder. Dale says that they are preparing to deal with a small (?) incursion - and that it will be dangerous, but "the Rodina would appreciate the help."
** The club has a sandbagged machine-gun nest on the roof, and people are all prepared. Spotlights on the sky pick up a hole in space, showing unfamiliar stars, then a big winged creature comes through. The uniformed men open their eyes very wide and power seems to come through them - conducted through their bodies.
** The creature stopped near the club, and released tendrils below it.
** It was defeated (?)...

Return to [[The Stars Are Right: The Irish Rose]].

[[category: The Irish Rose Matter]]

== Plotlines ==

As I join, there are four main threads: (1) Investigating Dr. George Phillips - who has something to do with a blood disease and is a figure from Dr. Ecker's past ; (2) investigating Reverend Frank Scott and his "sister" - a shady preacher who works with the poor at Clark Park (James O'Keefe is interested in the preacher for some reason); (3) the beating of Katie Flynn by her common-law husband Danny; (4) working with the Purple Gang (JT Williams is seeking to expand his business

== August 1932 ==

=== Mon, Aug 1 ===
* ''(Start of Session One - November 2011) 08/01/1932 - 08/04/1932''
* Dr. DeWitt Ecker, JT Williams, James O'Keefe, and Victor Grayson find themselves thrown together at the Irish Rose speakeasy in Detroit, owing to events relating to "Katie" Flynn. Katie Flynn is severely beaten by her boyfriend, speak owner Danny Macklin. She is taken to Ecker's apartment for treatment for several broken ribs and other injuries. She begs the four men to retrieve her belongings from the Rose. They discover a hidden box which contains personal letters in French, a map of Los Angeles, and a medical journal. Dr. Ecker reads through the journal, which details a strange infection, with which Ms. Flynn appears to be inflicted.

=== Tue, Aug 2 ===
* Led by O'Keefe, the group goes looking for Reverend Scott. Dr. Ecker, JT, and O'Keefe visit the Herman Keefer Hospital for Communicable Diseases, where Dr. Ecker has an old score to settle with Dr. Philips. The four men locate a 5th letter belonging to Ms. Flynn, which has already been translated to English. The letter raises more questions than it answers, with allusions to Weiss, Steele, Petit-Jean, Fae, Communion, Flynn, and Gautier).

=== Wed, Aug 3 ===
* The group locates Reverend Scott at Clark Park. There is something peculiar about the way his sister paces behind the small group of people he is haranguing. They follow Mr. Scott, and he and his sister appear uncomfortably close. The group also follows Dr. Philips from the hospital. They steal some strange vials he has hidden in his car. JT sets up a meeting with the Purple Gang for Thursday.

=== Thu, Aug 4 ===
* The four men meet with the Purple Gang at an Italian restaurant.

=== Fri, Aug 5 ===
* ''(Start of Session Two - June 2012)''
* The four men meet in the Irish Rose to consider their next move. Williams recruits Drifter Joe and Dr. Obediah Walters. Ecker, Joe, Walters and O'Keefe break into the Herman Kiefer hospital to investigate Dr. George Phillips, an old co-worker and rival of Dr. Ecker. They find a modified patient file on Vivian Cooper-Levitt. Frank Lovejoy, a reporter for the Detroit Evening Press, is there interviewing hospital staff regarding an ongoing corruption scandal at the hospital and witnesses the four men leaving in an unlicensed car. He attempts to tail them, but loses them outside of the redlight district.
* Meanwhile, Victor and Lila secretly go to talk to Katie (a.k.a. 'Heather') Flynn, who is sick.
* Daniel Flynn is murdered, and left hanging by his heels from the ceiling of The Irish Rose. Frank Lovejoy is assigned to cover the story on behalf of the [[TheStarsAreRight:TheIrishRose:Article1|Detroit Evening Times]]. He, O'Keefe, Ecker and Walters are all admitted to the crime scene by the Detroit police.
* That night, James and JT stake out Dr. Phillips. They see a fancy car drop by and Phillips exchanges a small object for an envelope. The car goes back to Vivian Cooper-Levitt's mansion, so this was probably her family buying a vial of the serum.

=== Sat, Aug 6 ===
* Ecker, Williams and Joe kidnap Dr. Phillips as he leaves from his golf game, and discover details about the Fae blood condition (without that name).
* Lovejoy interviews Grayson and Clark in an attempt to determine the identities of the [[TheStarsAreRight:TheIrishRose:Article2|two mysterious doctors]] seen at the murder scene.

=== Sun, Aug 7 ===
* No one can find Rev. Frank Scott that day. (Lila has a dinner date with a boring cab driver Ralph.) That night, Lila has the journalist Lovejoy meet with Katie/Heather, bringing a discrete doctor with him - who turns out to be Dr. Walters (!). He gives her the injection of serum that Lila supplied from Dr. Ecker. Lila reciprocates by giving an interview with Lovejoy.

=== Mon, Aug 8 ===
* ''(Start of Session Three - August 2012)''
* Grand re-opening of the Irish Rose under a new manager, Susie Q, a figurehead who faced down Russian strongmen coming around for protection money.
* An unknown wealthy woman in her 30s (dressed in white silk and furs, with two bodyguards and a greyhound) came and argued with the new manager. She introduced herself as Voison. She gave Dr. Walters a flask. The bouncer, Joe, took a shot of this and found his senses enhanced and a high up.
* Negotiated more with Purple Gang - plan on smuggling trucks down from Canada on Friday. They have four trucks and drivers and a regular route, but will be testing us (as a gang).
* Still failed to find Rev. Frank Scott so far.
* "Doctor" Eckers left town after Lovejoy wrote an article about him exposing his lack of license. (The player, Scott, dropped out of the campaign.)
* A new manager is hired at the Irish Rose (Susie Q). Mysterious Russians seek an audience with Lovejoy and the Irish Rose crew. The Purple Gang tasks JT's 'gang' with importing unspecified items from Canada on the 12th (Friday). A wealthy woman, Voisoine du Montaine, gives Obediah a strange elixir after causing a scene at the Irish Rose.

=== Tue, Aug 9 ===
* ''(Start of Session Five - November 2012)''
* In the morning, Lila and J.T. track down the woman, Voison, at the Armitage House Hotel after searching around at several high class hotels. She is Voison Montaine from France. She is with a socialite set who go out partying all night.
* Several are checking up on Rev. Franklin Scott. He is young, around 18-20, and his sister Katherine is a year or two older. He works among the poor out of an empty storefront, that he is staying above, as the "United Assembly of God".
* That evening around 6, Jim goes to check in on Rev. Scott - he is working for some government types who will pick him up. He brings them out front to where some government-looking suits are standing, asking about a boy named Franklin. The two put a silver cable around the reverend, and he sprouted limbs or tentacles and grabbed one of the agents, encasing him in a cocoon and dragging him away. The other fired his pistol into him to no effect, with Lila and J.T. witnessing. They ran, but Jim ran in and collected the surviving agent. Victor stayed with the sister, and the reporter Lovejoy came and talked to her. She says she is from Ireland originally, but been in the U.S. for many years.
* Back at the Irish Rose, checking his wallet, he is a Treasury agent, Michael Barnes. Jim calls the Treasury agency to have them collect their agent.
* The reverend shows up again for the service, and gives a thin cover story to reporter Lovejoy.
* Late that night, Doc Walters arranges to run into Voison at a bar. She offers to make him fabulously wealthy by brewing the unusually elixir in a new facility.
* Lila and JT track Voisoine to her hotel. O'Keefe and Grayson take a gander at Rev. Scott's home/ministry. Lovejoy follows up on a variety of leads. Grayson, JT, and Lila assist O'Keefe in his efforts to assist some government agents in apprehending Rev. Scott. Scott (allegedly) sprouts tentacles and devours one of the agents. All but Grayson return to the Rose with the remaining agent. Obediah can detect nothing physically wrong with him. Grayson encounter Lovejoy at the Scott's ministry. The alley where the attack happened has a strange symbol (recently) carved, a trail of slime, and six bullet holes in the alley wall. Obediah follows Voisoine from her hotel so that he can 'accidentally' run into her at a bar. She offers him a job producing the mysterious elixir and gives him a check for $2000.

=== Wed, Aug 10 ===
* Article comes out of interview with Katie Flynn. Agent Carl Akins questions J.T., Lila, and Doc Walters about the incident with the reverend. J.T. and Lila deny they saw anything, claiming they stayed in the car - then Lila and the others

* ''(Start of Session Six - November 30, 2012)''

* The group is going to meet with the Russians (under a leader known as "The Boyar") on Thursday.
* J.T. and Lila do a test run of the crossing to Canada planned for Friday.
* Lovejoy finds out that there is a Parkhurt Medical Foundation in Buffalo, New York. They say that Parkhurt moved to L.A., and give an address.
* Lovejoy comes to the Irish Rose to question Lila, and argues with her - saying that she was the connecting element over Danny's murder along with Ecker's and Flynn's disappearances.
* Victor, J.T., Doc Walters, and Lila meet with The Boyar after being fed nice Russian food with bulky guards around - and they brought in Lovejoy. The Boyar is a well-dressed in his 30s who commands attention. Victor says about Voisson and "tentacle monster" to The Boyar.
* The Boyar says that the real Voisson died, and the woman is a pretender capitalizing on her reputation. He is Rulyinof - father of Ilya the Czarina.
* He says the Purple Gang are involved with shady elements of the "Travellers" - Flynn's people who have varying degrees of a disease of the blood, called a "necrophage" by Parkhurst. The disease can be brought out of dormancy by injury.
* Flynn was involved with Maturin de Bonavault, a possibly dead or dormant figure who knew a lot. The journal may have a treatment for the disease, which Voisson wants to use to involuntarily treat rivals in the Travellers.
* The Boyar want to suppress the treatment. He is around for only a few weeks, and then will return to Russia. Parkhurst disappeared from his foundation a year ago, and now no one knows where he is. The Boyar and Russia would be interested in finding out - as well as the formula for aqua vitae (the elixir).
* Michael Barnes (the presumed leader of the government agents that were trying to capture Scott) interrogates the Irish Rose crew. Lila mentions that Scott exhibited octopus-like tendencies. Barnes offers her a job (possibly also JT... and he had previously offered O'Keefe a job... no one offers Victor or Obediah anything... bunch of jerks). It is mentioned that Lovejoy was at the scene, poking around. Barnes asks Victor (who agrees) to lure Scott to an isolated area so that they can capture him without alarming people (at some later date). Victor meets again with the Russians and returns to the Rose with an offer of a meeting (to be held Thursday or Saturday). He also meets up with the Katherine and Franklin Scott at Clark Park.

=== Thu, Aug 11 ===
* ''(Start of Session Seven - March 17, 2013)''
* PI Daphne Ferris points us to the Harvest Trust company...
* Meeting with Harvest Trust. They want to pay $200 per week for vague work to help protect against "Outsiders".
* Courier later from Trust comes - a 15 year-old girl who looked too perfect and had scintillating eyes. She agreed to take a message to Dr. Parkhurst asking for contact.

=== Fri, Aug 12 ===
* Delivery for Purple Gang from Canada turned out to have wine, whisky, and at least 1, possibly 3 kids in a comatose state. (Turned out to have the 2 boys and 1 girl, all around 9-11 in age.) A courier from Harvest Trust showed up to give Doc Walters a retainer of $100.
* Talk with reporter Frank Lovejoy that night at the Irish Rose. That night, the same courier girl, Delphinus, returns to say that Parkhurst will meet them at 9 the next night. (...) Lila and J.T. follow her leaving and see her disappear into the shadows in an alley.
* (Give Lovejoy the letter from Mssr. Huber to Mssr. De Bonnevault found among Katie's papers at the Irish Rose.)

=== Sat, Aug 13 ===
* ''(Start of Session Eight - March 30, 2013)''
* Found that the Russians spoke well of Harvest Trust. Reporter Lovejoy found that Harvest Trust's public record of altruistic work checked out. Found Parkhurst last known in a house in L.A. with 10 or more people, owned by H. Rhyner.
* Sat evening met with Parkhurst in the Rose, who had two big bodyguards with beauty and strange eyes (a man and a woman). Parkhurst looks big, blonde, confident, and charismatic although not beautiful like the others. (He looks like a 30-year-old version of actor William Hopper.) He talked about the "necrophagic" disease, which over the course of it replaces the body, making the host stronger and more perceptive, and heal super quickly. Called "the condition" or "the birthright" (old-school), and makes a need to drink blood. The elixir replaces the need for blood, but creates a dependence, and they can no longer process blood after a while.
* Parkhurst talked about Carl Ellis who was the founder of Harvest Trust. Also about his own clinic, the Parkhurst Institute for Medical Research.
* J.T. told Parkhurst about smuggling the kids for the Purple Gang. He said he would do research and track them down. He confirmed that Voisson is an imposter is ... There are good and bad Russians, but creating new aqua vitae is not
* Lila talked to Parkhurst about him and Katie/Heather - who apparently was used to safeguard the notes. She said that he should copy and release them, and noted that he had endangered Katie, but he says that she knew what she was getting into.

=== Sun, Aug 14 ===
* Bought a farmhouse from a farmer with cash from Voisson, to use as a base for producing aqua vitae. J.T. sent for his cousins Rufus and R.J. to oversee the brewing and distilling half of the operation. Rufus is muscle/driver, while R.J. knows the ropes of distilling. (Doc Walters would oversee the second half, using details yet to be provided by Voisson.)

=== Mon, Aug 15 ===
* During the day, finalized the deed on the farmhouse. Parkhurst returns and says he had found kids at a farmhouse, and asked if we would help rescue the kids. In the evening, took trucks and attacked the farm with Parkhurst along with his two bodyguards and some human mercenaries. Defenders included a number people with the Condition. Victor was tossed out of a second-story window and hurt badly. In a hidden room, found a makeshift operating room where someone was dissected along with footprints to a car, and rescued 2 of the 3 kids. Lovejoy brought a photographer along who took many pictures of the events, including him carrying out the kids.
* Escape in the trucks, taking the two kids and the dissecting table covered in dark-colored blood. Parkhurst says that the two kids have the Condition, but are not part of his community in New Jersey.

=== Tue, Aug 16 ===
* ''(Start of Session Nine - April 13, 2013)''
* Began setting up the operation on the farm. One of Parkhurst's bodyguards (the man) and two human mercenaries (men) are staying at the farm. Take the dissecting table from the rescue to here. The farm now has two trucks and a car supplied by Parkhurst. The girl is silent, while the boy still seems to be in a deep sleep, though neither have obvious injuries.
* J.T. comes back to Detroit to get supplies and recruits Lila. They get medical supplies, lots of groceries, furnishings like blankets.
* The farm has a cow, some pigs and chickens, and a cat or two.
* Bodyguard talks to the girl alone - and tells Doc Walters that the boy and girl and Jason and Olivia (no relation). He doesn't know where the parents are, and they have been separated from their family since at least March. They had spent some time in Egypt, and were kept sedated/drugged for much of the time.

=== Sat, Aug 20 ===
* Arrive back from investigating the Canada farmhouse, leading back to the estate of Vivien Cooper-Levitt.

=== Sun, Aug 21 ===
* ''(Start of Session Eleven- May 27, 2013)''
* Lovejoy interviews Olivia and Jason.
* Lila, J.T., Casey, Walters, and Lovejoy journey through a portal to the Seelie Court.
* Note background - there were 7 bodies at the site of the rescue attempt, including 2 known Purple Gang members - plus 3-4 blobs of ichor.
* Photographer Casey develops his pictures of the burnt documents from the Canada farmhouse. He has lifted out good information on the 4 pages of medical notes, and semi-good information on 2 middle pages of a personal letter.
* The medical notes are a rough draft, written in a man's handwriting. It concerns a mutation in the Condition - not the one that Parkhurst talked about or the serum.
* There are also two middle pages of a letter written by Katie to Maturin. It also mentions a Franz, Jean-Marc, and Mssr. De Bonnevault.
* Lila and J.T. bring Lovejoy and Casey blindfolded to the farmhouse. They bring Lovejoy up to speed with what they found at the Canada house. Lovejoy has come to interview the two Fae children, Olivia and Jason. Lila and Maurice are in the room for the talk, but the kids are overjoyed to see him - since Olivia knows him as the man who rescued her.
* Olivia says she was attacked and knocked out in her house in Britain outside Bailey about 1 year ago. She only heard of Parkhurst from her kidnappers - as Regent to the Queen of the Seelie Court. They moved around the world, including Egypt where a rescue attempt happened in Thebes. Thebans set the house on fire, but then Paige St. Mar chased them off using illusions. The boss was not a human or someone with the Condition - he had eyes with pure-black irises, tall and big with brown hair.
* Jason says he is from Ohio and then later California, where he was kidnapped from a house near L.A. He says he saw Parkhurst once when he was in that house.
* They report that Ricky was an American who was kidnapped last.

* J.T. and Lila returned Lovejoy and Casey to Detroit blindfolded. At the Rose, there was a note from Voisson that she will be in town on the 25th and will meet there.
* Parkhurst arrives in the evening, fresh from a fight. He says to keep the Katie-Maturin letter a secret. Matthias Dargon was a mover and shaker from before Parkhurst's time - not a Fae. He implies the time difference and longevity, but hasn't said it clearly. Doc Walters admits that he was taken by Parkhurst to the community on the 14th to talk to people - he is mysterious about this.
* Parkhurst rests for a few hours, while they bring Lovejoy and Casey back to see him. He reports later that the third child, Ricky, is close to being rescued.

* Parkhurst takes J.T., Lila, Lovejoy, Casey, and Doc Walters through the root cellar into the community - supposedly in New Jersey, though the glow in the sky suggests something strange. There are apparently ~300 with the Condition, ~200 human staff, and ~400+ companions and other humans. There are no modern amenities, but various livestock except heavy plow animals or wagons. Parkhurst warns against seeing the "horses".

* They meet Theo - a man in pseudo-Renaissance-style clothes with riding boots. He is short (5'4"), stocky, and appears about 50 years old - with pure black irises. He tells them that the children were kidnapped to be used as tools - talented sneak thieves - by a Devarney. He intended to infect the children with a disease to strike at the Fae, inducing an atavism to a feral, animalistic state like the "Before Times". Devarney is dead now.
* He explains the time ratio of 60:1 with the community, and the Fae immortality - saying the oldest ever is around 1500 years old, while around here the oldest is probably around 300. He refers to the "Before Times" - before the Queen took over 3 years ago. After at first saying that he didn't know about them or their parents, he reports that their parents are dead.
* He says that the necro-phage is from Outside the universe, from a dangerous dimension that will begin incursions starting in October in New York. The three communities: Seelie Court in New Jersey, the less civilized Unseelie Court in New York, and the dangerous Enclave in eastern Europe (Devarney's group).

* The visitors briefly meet Theo's daughter, Sofia Weiss. They then split up and wander the community to learn more.

=== Sun, Aug 21 ===
* ''(Session Twelve - May 31, 2013)''
* The group (including Victor, now) have long conversations with Theo Weiss (who offers them some tasks) and Hannelore Rhyner.
* Theo wants to understand what is where the children were going (to get at the heart of the plan to try to use them to infect the community).
* Hannelore helps clarify a lot of the unanswered questions surrounding Katie/Heather Flynn.
* We learn that Parkhurst is an evil fiend (well, that's how Victor interpreted it!)
* The mystery of the barn is resolved.
* Sun, Aug 21: The group wander the community and discuss issues and evidence. J.T. found from Parkhurst that he found Ricky in Kansas City.
* Lovejoy theorizes about Macklin's murder - citing off the Seelie, Unseelie, unaligned, the Enclave, and the Russians (who might have protected some "Before Times" Fae using obscure magical technology).
* According to Doc, Parkhurst says that he gave Katie his journal. (He gave it supposedly because of the schism over the treatment within the community.)
* Theo says that Parkhurst has a high sense of personal honor, and is unlikely to lie. The Seelie court was created here 6 months ago shallow world time. A woman named Hannah, who also became Medea in 1929 just before the night of miracles, who also become the Queen. The Queen is a separate power figure - the Queen of Air and Darkness, while Medea is the one who brought the change (in France in 1929). The community was only created 6 months ago; while the Fae took residence about 4 months ago.
* The necrophage came here in an incursion ages ago. Those infected go into a 3-day transformation after they seemed to die. They adopt a new name and personality. They used to live alone or in small family groups. After many centuries, they become incorporeal Elders. (Vandervecken, who was "killed" in Kansas City a few years ago, was 700 years old and just recently became an elder. He is leader of the Unseelie.)
* There is magical life force, called the Ambient, which started rising years ago and took a giant leap up about 3-4 years ago. A group of Elders contacted the Enclave, who became riders of the Fae of the Enclave, allowing them to survive the Ambient. He says that the Fae cannot do magic.
* Heather, Franz, and Jean-Marc were travelling with Maturin De Bonnevault, who was a very old Nightfolk obsessed with Hanna/Medea, acting for the Enclave. When Maturin vanished, Heather was captured by Parkhurst. (We note the Farbeck had Heather's letter to Maturin. There was a Farbeck in the history of the Enclave - not clear if it is the same.)
* The Seelie and Unseelie have non-aggression agreement, and were both transformed by Medea.
* Theo says that Matthias Dargon (mentioned in the letter) was a cult leader, dead now. Carl Ellis is a good man. Hannibal King keeps his word.

* They arrange with Parkhurst to meet with Hannah. Looks to be in her late 30s, with brilliant grey eyes, with waist-length shiny black hair and pale skin. (Like a Gothic heroine)
* Hasn't seen Heather since she left L.A. Mssr. Huber might have information. (Mentions she had left Buffalo to go to L.A.)
* Says she has a position of leadership - more as a spiritual leader. Mentions raising children, the goals. harm children, impede progress, ...
* "I do not feel they owe me... chosen by ?fate?" ... was an alienist - into objective observation... Says that Dr. Parkhurst is the right person for the job and is trustworthy despite tendency to violence and to fly off the handle.
* Re: Theo, he feels he must to do what he must to preserve the shallow world...
* Ultimately, she would like the walls of the court broken down, living among the rest of you...
* She explains the current theory is that the space come through is inhabited by entities - some thinking, some not - and the barrier to that space is weakening. She believes this entirely, and wants to help...
* Maturin De Bonnevault was the head of the household, attended by majordomo Franz Huber, bodyguard Jean (professional criminal in France) and his son "Petit Jean", and Heather (infrequent companion to Maturin). Maturin tried to arrange Parkhurst to be Hannah's companion, and failing that he kidnapped Hanah from her house in Buffalo. Parkhurst located them, but Maturin escaped having done terrible things to Hannah.
* What happened to Franz (in the incident in the letter)? Hanna drank from him (Communion), and he was adversely affected.
* Parkhurst went crazy, and possibly tortured Miss Flynn to get information on where Maturin went. He was no longer a doctor in spirit after that. She was loyal to Maturin but gave out information, then became prisoner of the Seelie.
* Parkhurst found his serum a failure and stopped work on it. He sent copies to Theo Weiss and Mr. Ellis. Hanna asked Parkhurst for the serum; he refused; loyal Seelie beat him up to get the serum from him. He then gave the journal to Heather, telling her to take it far from the Seelie.
* Alanna shows up, young woman known as "Mistress of the Hunt". She shows them the horses, which look like jet-black horses with flexible necks, sharp teeth, and intelligent eyes. She warns especially to avoid their bite which is poisonous. J.T. and Grayson both try riding them in the corral, under Alanna's supervision. Grayson does particularly well, and J.T. does well enough to avoid being injured.

=== Mon, Aug 22 ===
* ''(Session Thirteen - July 5, 2013)''
* JT, Victor, and Obediah (and maybe Lila) remain behind at the Seelie Court for a couple of months, while the others return.
* Parkhurst sends Candide to stay with the group, and especially to protect Doc Walters. He is a small man, without the good looks of most of the fae, but still the brilliant blue eyes. He has a muddled European accent.
* In the evening, JT, Victor, and Candide meet with Axler. Axler indicates that something big is going to happen in the next few weeks and he wants the Irish Rose crew to be involved. JT indicates he is not interested in things like kidnapping children and Axler assures him that the job won't effect his delicate sensibilities.

=== Tue, Aug 23 ===
* Victor and Candide stakeout Cooper-Levitt's house and see Farbeq leave. They decide to break in and poke around. They (well, mostly Victor) foolishly steal 4 bottles discovered in a box (the same box that was retrieved from the Purple Gang drop site).

=== Wed, Aug 24 - Aug 27 ===
* ''(Session Fourteen - July 14, 2013)''
* Over the course of these days:
* --Obediah meets with Voisoine. She offers to give him the secret in return for 'a favor to be chosen later' or to just supply him the ingredient for mixing. He defers this deal while he determines what he wants to do. When Candide departs for KC, Obediah returns to the Seelie Court.
* -- McMann continues to poke around trying to find the missing children. On the 27th, he encounters a prostitute who gives him a lead on Farbeq.
* Gangster Michael McMann vandalized J.T.'s car in order to get his attention. He gives hints to the group that Farbeck is based out of Kansas City, where the other ritual murder like the Irish Rose murder occurred.
* -- Lovejoy does some more research and heads down to Kansas City on the trail of the last missing child. He follows up various leads and eventually locates the likely location of the children at a farmhouse visited by the murdered housing agent, Bitterman.
* -- Candide mostly stays with Obediah to protect him. He journeys to Kansas City on the 27th to help locate the missing child with his 'special vision/senses'.
* -- JT and Victor revisit the Seelie Court before traveling down to KC to help locate the last missing child. They blunder about a bit, but eventually they show up to assist Lovejoy in his investigations.

=== Sun, Aug 27 ===
* Aug 27 (Sat) - Most of the group travel down to Kansas City.
* Retracing Bitterman's movements, Candide finds that Fae of some sort are located at an abandoned farmhouse.

=== Sun, Aug 28 ===
* Aug 28 (Sun) - Discussions among each other in a Kansas City hotel room in the afternoon.
* Lovejoy got an anonymous letter via the courier from someone claiming to know Flynn, based on reading his articles, and were interested in helping rescue the kids. Said congrats re: article. Contacted others regarding Purple Gang, and that their future is "anything but rosy". If in New York, would express their gratitude in "some tangible manner".
** Generous funding into the background of the children. Dr. Parkhurst is an old associate, but had lost track of him, and had heard he fell prey to the same blood diseases that he had fought to cure. Miss Flynn is an old acquaintance who had been under Parkhurst's care. Mentions Institute in Berlin and places in Moscow working to make "biological weapons" of blood disease, and sterilization of afflicted in Germany. Also mentions New World Industries, and a Dr. Sergei Sergeivitch doing blood research.
* Lovejoy wrote to the Boyar to ask about the institute in Moscow.
** The Boyar wrote back saying that he was surprised at our Fae connections (what he called the "American camp"). He does confirm that the institute in Moscow is a personal charity of the Czarina, and is doing research into blood disease. He also implies that the Czar is infected.
* Katie wrote to say that some people in the community had wanted to kill Hannah before she became Queen. The Seelie and Unseelie are under the queen's protection. The Enclave had joined with the Elders to survive the rising ambient, and were the ones pushing to kill her.
* Bitterman was a guy murdered in the style as Macklin. Got a list of farms that he had visited, and Candide had sensed other infected on a particular farm. This fits with Parkhurst's information that there was a trail on the missing kids leading to Kansas City.
* (Vic may think he is going crazy.)
* McMann offers to go out and drive by the farmhouse to check it out, and Lila offers to go with him. J.T. objects to this, and Lila goes out for a walk.
* Around 6PM, Candide arrives, and brings in four people with him - young Samson (America), Robespierre (French), Diego de la Vega (Mexican), and Miranda (British).
* We raid the farmhouse at around midnight. Just before the raid, Lovejoy reveals to the others that he has instructed his partner to call the police to raid the place at 4AM.
* Samson and Robespierre go in the back followed by Lovejoy and Lila. Candide, Diego, and Miranda go in the front followed by J.T. McMann watches from the front yard.
* J.T. picks the front lock quietly, while Samson and Robespierre climb inhumanly to the second floor up the back. However, the whole farmhouse is empty - stripped clean of any furniture and most interior walls. There is a door set in the middle of the first floor. Lila picks the back door lock and joins the rest with Lovejoy.
* Underground, find a facility with dead bodies in a refrigerated room, and 200+ feral people (Fae "abominations") in cages.
* In the attack, rescue 9 companions. In an attack on the final lab, the Seelie brought to help in the assault murder the American scientists who surrender, on orders from Candide. They kill a "Triad" of 3 ritual magicians / psychics (?) along with 4 scientists. However, after stopping them, we do capture 5 scientists.
* Lovejoy documents this, and then waits with one scientist for the police to arrive.
* The companions have many needle marks and many marks of "communion" - they were terrorized and held for from 3 months to a year and half.
* In the attack, all of the Abominations are destroyed, as well as a 'Triad' of psychics and many of the scientists.

=== Mon, Aug 29 ===
* Aug 29 (Mon) - Hide out in an abandoned house and question first the scientists. By pretending to be allies of Boyar Rulinov, a scientist is tricked into giving up many details of the research.
* Interrogation reveals that an unknown contingent of Russians were attempting research that would allow them to create and control vast swarms of 'mindless' Fae abominations. They have had some success at producing a useful "weapon" - the beasts in the cages. They say that the other three (the Triad?) are very valuable resources, not easily replaced.

=== Tue, Aug 30 - Sep 1 ===
* The surviving scientists are delivered to James O'Keefe, former friend and current member of the Federal Government.
* Everyone travels to the Seelie Court to assess matters.

=== Fri, Sep 2 - Sep 6 ===
* Victor receives a letter from the Boyar inviting him and his allies to travel to Russia to meet with Tsarina Ineska.
* Before journeying to Russia, the group decides to spend 3 real world days (180 Seelie Court days) learning Russian and pursuing other interests in the Court.

=== Tue, Sep 6 ===
* The group travels to New York and they meet with Meridon Caine.

=== Tue, Sep 6 - Thu, Sep 8 ===
* ''(Session Fifteen - September, 2013)''
* Returning with this information to the Seelie Court, there was some indication that it would be a good idea if someone were to go to Russia to look into this situation. Fortuitously, we had received an invitation to visit Russia from a guy named Boyar Rulinov.
* We decided it might be nice to learn Russian before leaving, so we spent a few (real world) days / (Seelie Court) months learning the language in the Seelie Court.
* While most were in Seelie Court, Lila was back in Chicago looking after the Rose and the kids (Olivia and Jason).
* Before leaving for Russia on the Boyar's ship, the Lavadia(sp?), we stopped by to talk with Meridon Caine. We also met with Comte de la Fer, and he imparted a goodly quantity of information - including dark secrets of Russia.
** He described how communists were killed in the purge, along with most people (80% in urban areas, more like 25% in rural areas). Also described how another event happened in Egypt, with some similarities.
** Lovejoy is a communist sympathizer, although more with unions / wobblies and not with Leninists.
** The Comte says he is an entirely different person from Grimaldi, though he is in the same body. He says that Grimaldi is engaged to Usher's adopted niece - Nicoletta Usher (Roderick Usher's adopted daughter).

=== Thu, Sep 8 - Sep 17 ===
* From September 8-September 17, we traveled by ship and rail to Moscow.
* Travel to Russia with PCs Victor, Doc Obediah Walters, moonshiner JT, reporter Frank Lovejoy, photographer Jack Casey, hostess Lila Clark, and gangster Michael McMann - joined by Boris Valenko; accompanied by Adela (JT's girlfriend), Candide (Fae), and Wilhelm Bauermann (Candide's Companion).
** Wilhelm is dark-haired, in his mid-30's. He speaks German and French, but no Russian or English.
* September 17-18 was spent getting up to speed on Russian court etiquette and getting appropriate clothing.
* Finally encountering Vivian Cooper-Levitt, who appears to have near-terminal tuberculosis. She was traveling to Russia to consult with specialists there, having exhausted all options for either cure or remission in the U.S.

=== Sun, Sep 18 ===
* On the night of the 18th we attended a party, which also included Tsarina Ineska, Boyar Rulinov, and Madeline Usher. The Boyar invited us to an after-party meeting to discuss our reasons for being in Russia.
** Madeline Usher is a beautiful, imperious woman with pale blonde hair and pure-black eyes marking her as one of the Elders. She spent most time with the Tsarina Ineska, chatting like best girl friends.
** Also Eva Drosky, a Alchemist leader who was at the ball. Greying hair, seems like peasant stock but well-educated.
* While leaving around 1AM, they see Doc Walters to be having an affair with the Tsarina.
** Rulinov arranged for us to see Walters and the Tsarina. He suggests someone write to the Seelie - "It would be less painful that Medea hears of such new from a friend... rather than by casual gossip."
** Rulinov has pure-black eyes, marking him as an Elder.
** Vic hangs back with a young woman named Savina looking to see the sights.
* Summary of intelligence: Farbeq was a facilitator for setting up the Kansas City facility. Comte de la Fer and Boris Valenko gave a list of people to look into in Russia. Suspect Madeline Usher of being behind the facility in Kansas City.

=== Mon, Sep 19 ===
* ''(Session Sixteen - October, 2013)''

* After the party, the Americans talk back at the house they are staying at. Walters says that the Tsarina had invited her to his rooms, changed clothes, and asked him about Hannah.
** Tsarina has a fraught relationship with the Seelie Court, and has apparently heard about Hannah's emotional state.
* Discuss that Victor or the Unseelie Court (perhaps Elder Vandervecken in the Court) are likely channels of information from Russia to the Seelie Court.
* Hannah thinks that Usher was behind the hit on Macklin, done through a human agent named Vladimir Zavanov (brother of exiled Russian alchemist Anton Zavanov). Zavanov was sent to get Parkhurst's journals, and killed Macklin just because. He may have been ridden by one of the Elders, and the ritual was to feed the Elder.
** Candide says that in the old times, the Elders spoke through people, but would consume the humans they rode very quickly.
** Hannah perhaps says that she is related to the Tsarina, but we do not know how.
* Contrastingly, Rulinov says that Vandervecken was probably behind the hit on Macklin.

* In the early morning, first Doc Walters, and then Lovejoy was visited by a young girl in servant's clothes - who quietly knocks, then tells him in Russian "Please hurry, wake the others, get dressed, come with me." Eventually admits that she was sent by Boyar Rulinov. (This turns out to be "Tiva".)
** Taken via tunnel to a nearby building, over to a nightclub. A guy at the bar is 6'2", lanky, brown hair, green eyes. (Looks like modern actor Eric Balfour.) Introduced himself as as Dale Parsons or "James Hunter". Came highly recommended by Boris Valenko or Comte de la Fer. Says he is an enemy of "Joe the Boss".
** Says had friends in occult investigations. Alexi Vichnaveski and Boris Valenko set him up here in Moscow. Said that they didn't know what would happen - including probably the Tsar.
** Theodore "Buck" Holland is an African-American band leader from Kansas City, in the band in Moscow.
** Natasha is a 20-year-old blonde women who also works for him.
** Svetlana is another striking blonde woman going for the Marlena Dietrich look.
** Says he is friends with the girl Tiva, and trusts her judgment.

* Doc Walters says that the Tsarina offered to have Rulinov taken as a prisoner to the Seelie Court. She said that Madeline Usher wants the incubator kids (Olivia and Jason).
* Victor and Lila bring up that we should definitely respond to this offer. Preferably
* Walters suggests that we should ...

* Dale and Lila talk about magic. He says about the symbiosis of the Rodina (the land), the Tsar, and the Tsarina.
** There are things older than their bodies in the Tsar and Tsarina that are integrated.
** Says about the river of blood, Alexi may have suspected but others probably did not (including the Tsar).
** Suspects Madeline Usher of the plot with the mutant necrophage.

* Talk with Adela and Candide about the crimes of Rulinov. Adela wants Rulinov killed for his crimes, but Victor argued that his crimes were before he merged with an Elder.
** Adela and Candide explain that the companions of Elders are drained of all life essence, becoming lifeless husks.
** There were disembodied Elders, but they all embodied into Fae bodies with the rise of the ambient.

== Overview ==

Starting in October 1932, an expedition heads out from France to China to make a deal with Li Mai regarding Auda and the stronghold.

== Characters ==

* Dr. Montgomery Scott (played by Brett) - Scottish medical doctor; war leader of Seelie court; was a contemporary from Pierre Farquelle - joined back in 1921. Old Soldier of Farquellians. (Appears mid-20s, but has old eyes, speaks quietly, has a silver medallion of elder symbol)

* Maxine Scott nee Pierce - PhD in Egyptology; University of Chicago Professor; focus on Abydos. 5'7'', age mid-twenties, mixed race (not Caucasian). Dressed with sword and gun.

* Edward Chandler - 40s, Caucasian, beard, mustache, glasses. Too unassuming, as if trying to be in background. Rugged look to him.

* Henrik Mueller - 30s, a former Bohemian artist and German expatriate.

* (met in China) Redland Jack - a former English professor of economics.

* (met in China) - unnamed translator

== Timeline ==

=== Fri, Sep 30 ===
* Carl's memorial

=== Sat, Oct 1 ===
* Maxine's group (Maxine, Montgomery, Chandler, Henrik). Leave in the late morning for Tibet (with Jack). Maxine says she wants to save Auda, and help him save others. Henrik says he wants to help, but in his heart he only cares. Montgomery is along as recorder, and wants to get back into the fight.

* Meet a plain, swarthy woman with black hair (Rachel's PC), wearing mix of European and Chinese clothing, wearing practical boots, carrying elephant gun. Being paid by Li Mai, working for her for last 4 days. She tends to guide tours and hunting expeditions. (Hindi first name, English last name)

* According to Maxine, Auda's plan for helping the conflict, involves divorcing himself from his station. (Montgomery notes that Auda's full Anubis avatar has fought with Montgomery's tentacled avatar.)
* Get letter from Li Mai that she and Auda are not ready to receive them yet (included below). She asks that they brush up on formalities including tea ceremonies. They theorize about the connection between Li Mai and Auda.

:: ''Dear Esteemed Guests,''
:: ''I wish to bid you welcome to the Ancient lands of our Ancestors. It is my hope that your journey was not too taxing. Our lands can be ... fierce. ''
:: ''Our Lord Auda has charged me with the duty of advising you on proper conduct within his domain. It is of the utmost importance that you follow these protocols as they are a reflection of the respect and good will you hold for our people, our ways and our Lord.''
:: ''I am including two short treatises on the symbolic language of tea consumption polite conversation in the Imperial Court. Please make yourself familiar with both.''
:: ''Once you can understand our traditions you may request an audience.''
:: ''Until then know that Lord Auda and myself continue to work toward our mutual benefit.''
:: ''Sincerely, Li Mai.''

* Redland Jack joins them, saying he has arrived to help his friend Henrik. He comes to lead the tea ceremony.

* Meet with Arthur Woo, the major-domo for the castle, to do a practice version of the ceremony. He is dressed in European finery. (Maxine knows as the former servant of Li Feng.) There are other expensive things brought in as show, including high-class serving girls. Woo asks about Henrik's relationship with Auda, and says of Auda, he is "safe within his domain, and rules and sees all."
* Auda possesses Woo, and speaks to Maxine and Henrik. He says that he will not leave China in body, though he will be in New York in a sense. He says that the king and general positions are "outmoded". Afterwards Woo is drained, and says "Our Lord Auda comes and goes as he pleases whether we want it or not."
* Li Mai and the Society of Dragons are working hard to protect China. The Stronghold is not part of our land any longer, and thus a weakness. Explains how Auda became possessor of the stronghold: He and companions came when another king was in presence - and immoral bandit-king, housing a small army.
* An interim king became corrupted and only lasted a few days, and then Auda killed him to take authority from him and took over rule. Paige St. Mar was given some of the authority of the citadel. Auda was severely wounded in body and in spirit, and endangered this. Paige St. Mar must come to the citadel and go into the Room of Whispers and Shadows, so speak to what is there.
* How much time do we have? It depends. He also wants to transfer the "seed" of the King of Body stuff into the body of a person who will temporarily hold it. What is the risk to Paige? That she may be seduced by the voices and become a part of this place. If she is pregnant, the child may be a miracle.
* Li Mai is working with him to craft the weapon.
* Paige is a consort (?) to Theo.

=== Sun, Oct 2 ===

* Henrik goes out to talk to translator (?Wah?) and gets shot.
* Theo comes in to be updated and talk.

Jack was a professor of economics in England. He is a gaunt man, clean-shaven with a short, not particularly stylish haircut. He generally dresses in a shabby, old-fashioned suit typical of academia. He joined the group in December 1931. He is an intelligent (and intellectual) sort of fellow. He is frequently contrary and often takes the opposite position on issues from everyone else. He considers himself witty. He tends to alternate between brash outspokenness and humble apologetics. Redland has poor self-esteem, and he suffers from bouts of severe depression. His long string of failures, coupled with his contact with Outsiders, has left him looking a bit 'hollowed out'.

(played by John Kim)

An artist from Germany, who was hired to sketch the landscape of Sandø Island in December 1931, bringing him into contact with Ellis' expedition there.

He could not find work upon returning to Germany, and emigrated to England where he is currently staying with his English uncle.

=== August 1932 ===

08/21/ -- Arrive New York, late afternoon. Amanda and Maxine spend the afternoon looking through books and papers recovered from the Penthus Building. Andrew goes to survey the warehouse where Edward Chandler has indicated the collection jars are taken to. After getting a good idea of the layout, entrances and exits, he goes back to the hotel, planning to return later in the evening with the rest of the group.

=== August 1932 ===

: ''08/01/1932 - 08/04/1932''

08/01 -- Dr. Ecker, JT Williams, James O'Keefe, and Victor Grayson find themselves thrown together at the Irish Rose tavern in Detroit, owing to events relating to "Katie" Flynn. After a violent encounter with the tavern's proprietor, the four men discover a hidden box which contains personal letters in French, a map of Los Angeles, and a strange medical journal. Dr. Ecker reads through the journal, which details a strange infection, with which Ms. Flynn appears to be inflicted.

08/02 -- Led by O'Keefe, the group goes looking for Reverend Scott. Dr. Ecker, JT, and O'Keefe visit the Herman Keefer Hospital for Communicable Diseases, where Dr. Ecker has an old score to settle with Dr. Philips. The four men locate a 5th letter belonging to Ms. Flynn, which has already been translated to English. The letter raises more questions than it answers, with allusions to Weiss, Steele, Petit-Jean, Fae, Communion, and Flynn (and one other guy, whose name starts, I believe, with G).

08/03 -- The group locates Reverend Scott at Clark Park. There is something peculiar about the way his sister paces behind the small group of people he is haranguing. They follow Mr. Scott, and he and his sister appear uncomfortably close. The group also follows Dr. Philips from the hospital. They steal some strange vials he has hidden in his car. JT sets up a meeting with the Purple Gang for Thursday.

08/04 -- The four men meet with the Purple Gang at an Italian restaurant.

''Currently this group is fairly independent.''

===[[TheStarsAreRight:RedlandJack|Jack, Redland]]===
(played by Robby Bullis)

Jack was a professor of economics in England. He is a gaunt man, clean-shaven with a short, not particularly stylish haircut. He generally dresses in a shabby, old-fashioned suit typical of academia. He joined the group in December 1931. He is an intelligent (and intellectual) sort of fellow. He is frequently contrary and often takes the opposite position on issues from everyone else. He considers himself witty. He tends to alternate between brash outspokenness and humble apologetics. Redland has poor self-esteem, and he suffers from bouts of severe depression. His long string of failures, coupled with his contact with Outsiders, has left him looking a bit 'hollowed out'.

Jack was a professor of economics in England. He is a gaunt man, clean-shaven with a short, not particularly stylish haircut. He generally dresses in a shabby, old-fashioned suit typical of academia. He joined the group in December 1931. He is an intelligent (and intellectual) sort of fellow. He is frequently contrary and often takes the opposite position on issues from everyone else. He considers himself witty. He tends to alternate between brash outspokenness and humble apologetics. Redland has poor self-esteem, and he suffers from bouts of severe depression. His long string of failures, coupled with his contact with Outsiders, has left him looking a bit 'hollowed out'.

= Bailey Session Notes: August 6 - 14th, 1932 =

(Session on Nov 12, 2011)
(Only John and Robbie present - playing Henrik and Jack, though Steve playing Theo dropped by briefly. Original notes from John.)

== Regarding Lawrence Eveling ==
* Jack had him killed by the Fae on the night of August 5th.
* Laurence Eveling had prepared his daughter to be a vessel for an Outsider.
* The French contingent stopped this plan, but she died.

== Planning ==

* Supposed to go to Alan St. Mar roughly Aug 15-20th.
** Theo said that we could potentially use airship to plug up the most major incursion hole during the
* Henrik needs to learn general skills.

== Meeting with Theo ==

Meet up with Theo on Aug 14th in New York.
* He is fresh back from redoubts - all three (Tibet, South America, mid-Pacific) are all active. No new gates are open, but they are active. Half a dozen are tuned to places not of this world. One was sealed by Li Feng that goes to a bad place. There is one in Chico, California.
* He provides a complete map of redoubt gates, which are all safe now. Each also has a cache of weapons, transportation, and other gear. There is a non-redoubt gate in Boston; and a redoubt gate just over the NY/Canada border.
* He encourages going to the South America redoubt, where there is a stone labyrinth (a pattern to walk) that will help focus your abilities. The main function of this is a device that helps power soldiers, if they attune to it.
* There is also a small redoubt on Pitt Island in the south Pacific, which is well-defended with many booby traps. They are not currently live, but should learn about them - some are physical and some are magical.
* Redoubts gates to Spain need keys. He gives us (out-of-game unspecified) passwords and/or other info to get through.
* He suggests Alan St. Mar should not be told about the possible plan for using the airship to plug the hole. We say that we were going find out his plans and how compatible they are with the hole-plugging. He wants to know what the Mi-Go are doing there - concerned about people who might misuse their technology. They are down in the mines there.
* Dealing with principals - no new developments. Training;

* Theo says that his inclination regarding Pentheus is to leave them alone unless they get in the way. He says they have been experimenting with their version of life weapons on the Unseelie.
* He suggests that the Brotherhood of the Beast in Kluj should be low on priorities. He has someone who is working to take care of it - Chandler is going to wipe them out.
* He wants to talk to Jack after he gets back from Nevada about a particular project. It has to do with the Whitetree people - another society/cult that has its ancestral roots in the priesthood that used to serve the kings. They are a cadre of knowledgeable people with resources to help rebuild the world.
* He wants especially to talk about Alan St Mar and effectively hijacking his flight _after_ our trip to Bodi, Nevada.
* He says they are firm allies with the Seelie, and neutral with the Unseelie - mostly business relationships with them. They are trying to broker a truce between these two, which is mostly successful.
* Jack says that the "children" of Principal of Aspiration should be people in the vicinity of New York - secondhand from Carl, thinks that Donal may be the instrument of change. Theo says that the tablets are unreliable, but the library in Tibet is good for information.
* Theo advises against having anything to do with Li Mei - that all her statements were distortions, and that she and her people are entirely untrustworthy. They might pull out some vital "psychic organs" in the process of the operation from Auda and/or Henrik.
* He says that there will be some down time after the October incursion, and he would prefer not to risk Auda, Henrik, and Rebecca before then.

== More Planning ==

Go back in time to Saturday, Aug 6. (Jack had talked to Maxine in the early morning, then met with Henrik for a late-ish breakfast. Henrik warns Jack not to upset Rebecca by talking bad about Carl or his plans.)
* Tony and others are in New York from July 25th (just after gathering) to Aug 15th, briefly leave, then return to New York on 19th.
* Jack has a Donal-related meeting scheduled via Pentheus for around the 12th.
== Unseelie Court ==

Henrik, Rebecca, and Jack go to the Unseelie Court on the afternoon off the 6th. Jack must bleed to get there.
* Talk to Reynard about Pentheus (and Dr. Parkhurst). Meet her at the meeting-house. She says certain factions within the Seelie have allied themselves with Pentheus. Pentheus was able to breach defenses and send people into the court, which situation they have resolved.
* She suggested that some of the Seelie might be interested, and that this would not impair their relations. Jack says that he was involved with a woman there and was uncomfortable going back (because she had rejected him).
* Henrik and Rebecca start to set up a house there, which is fairly bare but with plenty of room. Jack plans on seeing Meridan Caine about the whereabouts of Dr. Parkhurst.
* Jack has a few skills, including two symbols he can draw (Haze-Waite ward + aversion symbol), healing, brainwave radio, and transfering energy.

== Talk with Meridon Caine ==

Information that Jack gets from Meridon Caine.
* Parkhurst created thing that you don't have to drink blood as a fae, but it means that you can never drink blood again. When Andrew chose not to stay, Medea wanted to take his formula - but he refused to give it to her. A bunch of the Seelie roughed up Parkhurst, but he still refused. Usher stepped in, executed those who had beaten up Parkhurst, went to Andrew Scott - and turned Parkhurst over to him. Shortly thereafter, all the Seelie went to the Seelie Court in New Jersey.
* Parkhurst gave the formula to a fortune-telling girl who was part of Debonavault's household and occasionally his mistress. Debonavault was the guy who had crazy stalker trunk full of Hannah's stuff. He had done something terrible to Hannah. She had been locked up for a while, and much later Parkhurst gave it to her and she fled with it.
* Parkhurst has been re-admitted among the Seelie, made a Seelie by Hannah/Medea, and made regent-in-waiting until Usher's daughter Nicoletta comes of age. (Tony will be marrying Nicoletta in a month or so. Usher and Hannah married, but Hannah never had children. Nicoletta is Usher's adopted daughter. Usher was killed by a bunch of elders just before the Gathering a month ago.)

== Extended Time in Unseelie Court ==

Tony works with Henrik and Rebecca.
* H&R nest some at the house in the Unseelie Court. Henrik has drawn/painted all over, and fixed up some chains and such. At some point, Reynard invites Henrik to more fully experience the Unseelie.
* Jack wants to visit for a bit and learn about fighting. Henrik trains him some and works out on his dirty fighting.

== Meeting with Donal (Aug 12th) ==

On the 12th, come out and have a meeting in the Pentheus building with Donal. Our plan: (1) ask him about what he intended with regard to Laura; (2) does he know anything about Aspiration or other principals; (3) what kind of thing is he. Laura and John Elwar gave separate descriptions of Donal/Joc that matched up.
* Wait a few minutes, then the man comes in matching description though in a medium-cost corporate suit.
* "Was an unfortunate necessity" to stop talking to her,
* I know you have had talks with higher-level officers...
* Why interested? "She is an important and significant person." He was not sure about how or why she was significant. (about his sources) "It has a core in science, but has effects that are not recognized in science." Henrik shows him the diagram of the 6 principals and 3 kings+powers.
* He had known her parents, and set himself up as her acting godfather. He says that there are factions in the company that should not learn where she is. "Anything that I see or perceive, they have a possibility of knowing." "Pentheus stretched out its interest and convinced me to work with them." He had a Russian collegue, and was into alchemy.
* Why did you join Pentheus? "It was not entirely my decision." When you were with the other Donals, was that before joining Pentheus? Pentheus' factions take technology from many sources and expand on it. They are well-developed in building dopplegangers - they made the other Donals.
* He believes that his staying here is continuing to buy Laura's safety. He is not continuing to pursue his alchemical studies, despite their encouragement.
* Donal writes a quick reassuring note to Laura.
* Laura being at the asylum was paid well to maintain the fiction that she was living in another century - accomodating of her delusion. Donal had done that to her to keep her safe, which kept other people from identifying her.
* Do you know what happened to her parents? They were killed by a faction of the alchemists from Turkey. They had worked for a sorcerous warlord named Avala, now gone for many years though a few fragments of his organization survive.
* What researches are you doing now? Working on future prediction. (...) We can use tools to find significant people.
* Jack: To help with Aspiration, need to locate various people - an Outsider - and some specific people. (The Outsider that is bound to Aspiration is deeply connected to the Earth.) You have the Principal, Power, Place, Paladin, Priest, and Instrument of Change.
* Donal says he would need specific information about the tablets to find these. He says you need to talk to the other principals to find that. He recommends strongly against trying to short-circuit or speed up the process, and that we should wait for 6/19 in many months.
* The faction after Laura are straightforward alchemists who are ruthless in pursuing their alchemical projects (enlightenment, etc.).
* He is prepared to recommend two men in New Orleans who would know about making dopplegangers / homonculi - Mr. Fisher and Mr. Lloyd. They would need to take pattern from someone with appropriate knowlege - i.e. who can pilot an aircraft.
* Henrik trades some alchemical ideas and questions with Donal. Alchemy is a learned skill, but the learning of the skill and grasping principles relies on a level of commitment. Jack asks Donal if he knows anyone looking to become an apprentice alchemical prospector (to Milo).

== From 12th to 14th ==

* Henrik and Rebecca go down to Greenwich Village as a break from the rustic life they had been living.
* Henrik and Rebecca invite Jack to stay with them for a few weeks (i.e. a day) at their house in the Unseelie Court.
* Jack had already gone to see Parkhurst at the Seelie Court in New Jersey.
** Parkhurst has many medical notes on the fae (both Seelie and Unseelie) that he is happy to share. Biologically, what happens is icky - called the Nightsiders in his notes - a virus-like infection that comes through saliva, called the necrophage, also through blood-to-blood contact. The body's immune system can fight off a small infection by itself. Soldiers are immune because of their blood, able to remove all infection in 24 hours. There is a stable state that can be reached when you are infected but not dead. If die while infected and not in this stable state, become an animalistic beast state. If die when in stable state, the necrophage begins to replicate the body.
** October 1929, Medea changed "Nightsiders" into the fae who were connected to the World Soul. Seelie and Unseelie are the same physically, just a recent political division. Earlier, when someone became 100% necrophage they would become creatures of pure energy called Elders.
** They have differing senses, but also ponic awareness that mixes with their human senses. This makes it difficult for them to go into places of high ambient (i.e. magical flux). Thus, they don't like strong sensation like sunlight or strong smell like garlic, pepper, or ammonia - also silver dust.
* According to people among the Seelie, none of them had ever worked with Pentheus.
* According to people in Pentheus, the people who had raided the Unseelie were a rogue faction who are now dead - of unclear causes.

* Jack is visiting for roughly 10 days, and then another 10 days later on.
** He and Henrik have arguments over alchemy, which he attempts to learn.

==Winter 1931==

* '''Dec 14, 1931 -''' Leave from Inverness for Sandø Island, with Carl Ellis' group along with crewman John Elwar, and passengers Redland Jack and Henrik Mueller. This island has been uninhabited since a shipwreck in the 16th century which left survivors stranded for several years. The survivors of that eventually founded a clan/cult which would later become the village of Bailey.

* '''Dec 16, 1931 -''' Arrive at Sandø. Stay overnight after doing a ritual to investigate for signs of the influence. There is a roughly triangular hollow with vaguely serpent-shaped columns of stones in the corners of the hollow. They find a hole hidden by a flat stone down to a rough-shaped chamber with room for two people.

* '''Dec 17, 1931 -''' Rebecca and Henrik talk. (''End of session'') Carl, Henrik, and Redland Jack discuss plans for going to Bailey. Late afternoon, the Augusta Queen goes on to Streymoy (the main Faeroe Island port), leaving John & Henrik on the island. The port is strangely quiet, they learn due to a rash of influenza.

* '''Dec 18, 1931 -''' Ship stays on Streymoy, where they are unloaded and not fully re-loaded due to lack of people because of the plague. Henrik stays sketching on Sandø with John.

* '''Dec 19, 1931 -''' The Augusta Queen leaves the Faeroes early in the morning.

* '''Dec 20, 1931 -''' Arrive at Aberdeen in the evening. Hansen shows a crumpled ad for Hardeen the Mysterious from the early twenties, brother of Harry Houdini.

* '''Dec 21, 1931 -''' Arrive in Edinborough in the morning. Arrive in Reith, near Bailey at 11PM. After arranging rooms at the inn, they all walk through snow towards Bailey. They are shadowed by a fey named Andrew, who tells them new. Nearby, Carl, Rebecca, and Auda do a ritual to open the ley line going into the village. Carl and Rebecca are exhausted by this, and Auda nearly goes to attack the church, but he is knocked unconscious by Erich. Carl then does second ritual, watched over by the others while Henrik takes Rebecca and the unconscious Auda back to the inn. During the walk back, they kiss. The group meets at the inn later. (''End of session'' -- ''In email, there are conversations at the inn and Carl giving documents to the newcomers.'')

* '''Dec 22, 1931 -''' In the morning, the American private investigator Bobby Hansen turns up, interested in meeting Constance Talmudge (an actress who lives in Bailey, but also the incarnation of the spirit known as The Lady). He joins the others going to Bailey. They arrive little over an hour before the solstice, which is around 11AM. They find a manor house under construction and a church-like building built around a pyramid, but no people about. The church is on the ley line, and they go down steps under the church.

: They first encounter a giant scorpion creature, which runs after Hansen shoots it. In a room later, they find 30 people in a trance watching a column of light. They are a distraction, a simple energy source for the Lady. In a room following, they find 10 villagers also in a trance, facing a display of four human skins. Constance is nowhere to be found, though. There is a small chamber adjoining this where they can feel a psychic connection.

: They attempt a ritual with multiple parts. To disrupt the Lady's ritual, Hansen distract the 10 people by giving them a forceful command to leave, aided by Redland Jack and John. Auda carved a symbol into the floor of the chamber and activated it with his blood. Using a silver paint pen given him by Carl, Henrik draws pictures of the three guardian statues that he had studied on Sandø Island. When the ritual completes, the guardians come to life. After staying at the back and in corners for a while, Jack inexplicably tries to attack them, but Henrik fends him off. John commands them to take the Lady back to her prison, and they obey.

* '''Feb 3, 1932 -''' Unbeknownst to them, when they leave the ley-line-charged church, it is six weeks later, February 3 of the following year. Hansen first emerges, with a dozen of the villagers who have fixated on him since his command, and eventually he lets himself be drawn into a pagan orgy outdoors around a bonfire. The others studiously avoid this and eventually make their way back to the inn. Auda has apparently taken on new psychic ties to the village. Henrik uncomfortably talks to Auda about his intentions towards Rebecca, and Auda explains in part the psychic connection that he and she have.

* '''Feb 7, 1932 -''' The group proceed to London, staying over at Carl's house in London. Henrik asks around about his patron, Cecil Becker, but he finds no evidence linking him to the occult.

* '''Feb 10, 1932 -''' The group meet with various members of a related order from Trujillo, Spain -- lead by [[TheStarsAreRight:TheoWeiss|Theo Weiss]]. The various members discussed matters of import about how they were going to proceed in protecting the world from destruction. Carl Ellis explained the diagram of correspondences, and indicated the two missing Principles of Aspiration and Consecration. They attempted to find one of these through a magical ritual, where (?) would telepathically transfer his mental image of her from a vision to Henrik, who would draw her. The ritual succeeded more than intended, and Henrik came into contact with the woman. Unable to speak, he knew only that she was somewhere in England, and that she asked him who the woman behind him was. They subsequently located the woman at an insane asylum in Cornwall. Carl's group agreed to get the woman and take her to Tibet via Spain and Cairo, where they will jump through a portal to Tibet.

* '''Feb 11-12, 1932 -''' The group attempts to meet with the mysterious industrialist, Cecil Becker. They locate his office and engage in a bit of skullduggery. Certain elements of the office indicate knowledge of "power." Carl and Redland meet with his primary intermediary, Edmund Handley, while Henrik and Boris investigate other artists associated with Becker. A meeting is arranged with Becker to take place in "a couple of weeks." Henrik and Boris discover that many of the artists have "powers" similar to those possessed by Henrik (but weaker).

* '''Feb 13, 1932 -''' Carl, Rebecca, Boris, Roxanne, Henrik, and Redland travel to Cornwall to "acquire" the Principle of Aspiration. On arrival, they encounter an Outsider named the Dark Pharaoh. A deal is offered to Carl, whereby he would receive information in exchange for assistance against (unnamed) mutual enemies.

* '''Feb 14, 1932 -''' Boris engages in some financial manipulations that seem likely to "free" the Principle of Aspiration, Laura, from the mental hospital. Henrik, Rebecca, and Redland Jack meet with Laura in the hospital and discuss the possibility of her rendering assistance. Laura believes she is living in a manor house in 1890, but is otherwise lucid. Later in the day, Carl and John meet with Laura and convince her to voluntarily leave the hospital. John's destiny is revealed... if he chooses to accept it. (Note: he doesn't). Carl, despite serious reservations, comes to terms with the Dark Pharaoh.

* '''Feb 15-17, 1932 -''' John Elwar leaves the group to return to his life as a sailor/writer. Carl, Henrik, Boris, and Redland investigate the home where Donal, a.k.a., Joc, (an associate of Laura) once lived. Evidence of a murder is turned up, but few clues remain. Carl contacts a "dowser" and discovers that Donal and Joc are (likely) different people. Henrik and Rebecca discover another (potentially) major player in the game, the corporation, Pentheus (with which Donal/Joc/whoever is associated), a mathematically inclined group that seek to appease the Outsiders with mass human sacrifice. Carl rejects the deal offered by the Dark Pharaoh. The decision is finalized to bring Laura from the manor to Tibet.

* '''Feb 18-21, 1932 -''' Auda meets up with the group and they travel to Tibet.

* '''Feb 21-26, 1932 -''' Books are consulted on matters both personal and global. Henrik discovers that a horrible fate will befall the world if the Pentheus Corporation is allowed to grow unhindered

* '''Feb 26-March 4, 1932 -''' All (save for Redland Jack and Laura) leave the library in Tibet. Carl, Auda, and Boris journey to Alexandria, Egypt, while Henrik and Rebecca go to Vienna. Carl returns to Tibet on the 29th to pick-up Laura and discovers that Redland is missing (he left for Montreal on the 28th to talk to the Dark Pharaoh). Everyone (except again, Redland) reconvene at the Wisphers estate on the 1st of March. Everyone takes it easy and prepares for the wedding.

==Spring 1932==

* '''March 5, 1932 -''' Henrik and Rebecca marry. Redland misses the wedding, angering Rebecca.

* '''March 6-8, 1932 -''' Boris returns to Tibet to investigate some matters relating to Roxanne's third potential coterie member. Everyone else (save Redland) remains in France dealing with post-wedding guests.

* '''March 9-15, 1932 -''' Everyone (save Redland, Laura, and Auda) travel from France to New York to investigate matters relating to the Pentheus Corporation. They arrive in New York on the 15th and meet up with Redland, who has been here for a couple of weeks. He has set up a meeting with some (supposed?) leaders of Pentheus. Redland ticks off the KoL.

* '''March 16, 1932 -''' Carl, Redland, Henrik, and Rebecca meet with a Mr. Dellman and several other high-ranking members of Pentheus (Boris believes that there is nothing to be gained from the conversation). Redland pushes for some type of agreement/alliance between the two factions, but everyone else is resistant. Tentative plans are made to witness a "field trial" demonstrating Pentheus's containment techniques. However, no firm agreement is reached to witness this event. The fate of the world is discussed. Redland infuriates Boris. Carl is determined to pursue a new path for the world that does not result in a KoF, Pentheus, or "One World" outcome. Carl makes plans to visit Medea and Dr. Parkhurst in Los Angeles. Redland makes plans to visit a group of New York Fae and plots as to how he best can anger the rest of his companions.

* '''March 17-April 4ish, 1932 -''' Carl formulates a new 'Many Gods' plan. He implements this plan in a meeting with the NY Fae by asking them to set up domains that will function as strongholds for the world. Boris gains a Fae lackey. Carl requests that a Fae named Victor travel with the group. All but Boris and Auda go to Los Angeles. There is a lengthy [[TheStarsAreRight:RedlandJack|Train Conversation]]. In LA, we meet with Medea. Carl furthers his plan. We travel out to the desert with a prospector named Milo. We encounter a magic cactus and exchange greetings (sort of) with some people on the other side. We find a hill where a bunch of Pentheus people were murdered, probably by the 'Brotherhood of the Beast'. We meet with a group of 'snake' people and they give us a scroll that purports to account for the origins of the world. We return to LA. Henrik 'dies' and becomes a 'Soldier'. The group splits, with Valentine, Henrik, Rebecca, and Auda heading out for Wisconsin and Boris, Redland, and Carl venturing back to NY. The NY contingent meet with Roderick Usher, a powerful Nightsider and come to an agreement.

* '''April 5-April 18, 1932 -''' People go about their various side-projects. Redland confirms the meeting with Pentheus in the Dakotas on April 20th or so. Carl travels to a leyline 'hot spot' in New Jersey on April 8 to begin laying the groundwork for a domain for the Fae.

* '''April 18-20, 1932 -''' Henrik, Carl, and Rebecca arrive in South Dakota (a couple of days early) to unofficially observe the field test. Redland arrives later with the Pentheus corporate team. He encounters an archaeologist, Idaho Butters, who was hired by Pentheus to assist with the test. Redland fills Idaho in on Pentheus's goals and methods and Idaho is upset. They talk to the man who volunteered to be sacrificed. Redland points Idaho in the direction of Carl, Henrik, and Rebecca. When they learn that Redland has already ratted them out to Pentheus, all but Carl return to camp to 'officially' watch the test. The following day, the field test takes place. An Outsider is summoned and the volunteer is devoured. Chaos breaks loose in the camp of observers, but Pentheus's containment field holds. The attempt to destroy the Outsider is somewhat less successful, and the Pentheus employee who attempted the eradication appears to have become possessed (in some fashion) by the Outsider.

* '''April 20, 1932 cont. -''' The group deals with the aftermath of the field test. The 'Mystic Trio' discover that the Outsider has possessed Jamison, that it is not a particularly intelligent Outsider, that it is learning things about the world rapidly, that the spark that is Jamison, is nearly extinguished, that the idol that was used by Jamison was merely a conduit, and that Jamison was compelled to do what he did, probably by Baron Hauptman. Some of the group talk to Mr. Dellman about what has just occurred (this is pending). Later, there is a bit of a discussion about philosophy. Then Rebecca and Henrik agree that breaking the Auda/Rebecca bond is probably the best thing to do. Redland contacts the KoF.

* '''April 21-Early May, 1932 cont. -''' Carl asks Henrik and Rebecca to stay behind in South Dakota to interfere with Pentheus's plans to study the captured Outsider. Carl and Jack run through some quick errands in the eastern U.S. and then hop on a ship headed to England. Redland collapses on the ship and lies dying.

* '''May 3-May 5, 1932 -''' Redland recovers from his illness, but he seems to have lost some of his memory. Carl takes care of some local errands. Redland and Carl meet up with Frank, Henrik, and Rebecca and discuss the state of the world.

* '''May 6, 1932 -''' The group meets with Cecil Becker. He has brought in a fancy religious picture along with a couple of art experts, Stewart and Mary. Cecil directs them all to Russia to return the painting to its original monastery. He promises that it will be worth their while in knowledge gained. They all agree to go beginning in about a week or so.

* '''May 7, 1932 -''' The group talks again with Cecil Becker, confirming the plans to go to Russia. There is also some information conveyed about the Brotherhood of the Beast (BotB). Namely, that a guy named Roger LaForge has taken over leadership in the absence of Baron Hauptmann. It is believed that the BotB is looking for the Baron, whom they think is still alive.

* '''May 8-10ish, 1932 -''' The group leaves (glorious) England for (wretched) France, arriving at the Wisphers Estate. Mary and Stewart are shown a few 'magic tricks' and are (mildly) impressed. Carl brings the two ikons together and something occurs.

* '''May 11-14 (approx), 1932 -''' Everyone travels down to Rome. There is a meeting with Father Stefan and Father Patric(k?) joins with the party on their journey to Russia.

* '''May 15-20 (approx), 1932 -''' The party travels by boat for several days and arrives in Odessa.

* '''May 21-26 (approx), 1932 -''' Carl and Patrick leave to update the group's documents. Everyone else travels to the monastery to return the paintings.

* '''May 27-June 2 (approx), 1932 -''' Carl and Patrick rejoin the group and they travel to St. Petersburg in an effort to meet with the Tsar and his advisors. A group of alchemists with the clever name of The Alchemists ask to meet with the group. They have captured an Outsider and it wishes to speak with them. A deal is made with the Outsider and it is freed from where it has been bound.

==Summer 1932==

* '''June 3-June 8 (approx), 1932 -''' Everyone meets with the Russian leader of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Father Patrick tries to prise information out of him, but he remains fairly close-lipped. The group encounters Carl's old friend, Dale Parsons. He provides them with a variety of information, including some of the details of the ritual that caused the 'Time of Troubles' in Russia. Dale facilitates a meeting with the Tsarina Ineska. She provides a little more information and requests assistance in dealing with a 'dead zone' in the heart of Russia. Plans are hastily made and the group prepares to leave via train almost immediately.

* '''June 9-June 10 (approx), 1932 -''' The group takes a train to the dead spot. Along the way, Stewart and Mary spend some time learning (and practicing) 'magic'. They stop a couple of hours into their journey and everyone (except Redland) head south a ways to 'talk to the land'. Redland summons up an Outsider, interrupting their ceremony. After chiding Jack, the group finishes their journey to the dead spot. They map out the leylines in the area and Carl sends a message to the Tsar. The Tsar indicates that he will come seal the dead spot in a couple of weeks.

* '''June 10, 1932 -''' Carl and several others go south to look for the Tsar. Redland summons an Outsider (who he names 'Prometheus), with the help of Rebecca as a conduit and Henrik and Patrick as advisors. Prometheus tells them that the Sword of Solomon is a powerful weapon against Outsider and that it is located at Skull Island, just off of Sumatra. He further indicates that The Brotherhood of the Beast is being led by Diana Stevenson and Petter Varr, and their main base of operations is just outside of Cluj, Hungary. Redland also acquires the Name of another Outsider.

* '''June 11, 1932 -''' Before returning to Moscow, Patrick is requested to help with a sick boy. Rebecca, Henrik, Patrick, and Redland investigate and the boy was apparently damaged by some sort of metallic 'insect' that may have been collecting ponic injury along leylines for someone.

* '''June 12-June 20, 1932 -''' Mary, Henrik, Boris, Stewart, and Redland fly down to Skull Island.

* '''June 20-June 21, 1932 -''' They recover the Sword of Solomon. Redland, Boris, and Henrik talk to Alan St. Mar, an immortal fellow who is building a ship that can travel to the Outside. Redland agrees to meet and help him with his experiment in the U.S. in mid-August.

* '''June 22-July 22, 1932 -''' The group flies back to the mainland and head off in various directions to engage in individual tasks.

* '''July 23-July 25, 1932 -''' A ton of people meet at the Wisphers Estate for the annual 'gathering'.

* '''July 26-August 2, 1932 -''' The group is split and members engage in various different tasks.

* '''August 3-August 4, 1932 -''' Mary, Henrik, Rebecca, and Redland meet up in New York from various places. Gezak Takas and Jake Kingston join the party while looking into the Black Swan Cult and a mysterious letter (respectively). The group tracks the person who gave the letter to Jake, a guy named Lawrence Eveling, to a local pool hall. They make plans to abduct Lawrence with the assistance of the Unseelie Court.

* '''August 5, 1932 -''' Herlihy, Rebecca, Redland, Henrik, and Jake discuss next steps. James Waters joins them, thinking that Rebecca will be able to direct him to the film star, Victor Lawrence. Henrik and Redland check in with Mr. Fuller to discuss a possible collaboration between Pentheus and the U.S. government. The group visits the Unseelie Court to see about using the 30:1 time compression for a training ground for Henrik, Jake, Rebecca, and possibly others. They spend a day there, which is less than an hour 'real' time. The group meets with Pentheus to see about ways in which they can help the corporation with the Pentheus Plan. Pentheus agrees to set up a meeting with Donal.

* ''August 6-14, 193 - '' cf. [[TheStarsAreRight:Bailey Notes - Nov 12, 2011|Bailey Notes - Nov 12, 2011]]

* '''August 5-6, 1932 -''' Jack deals with Lawrence Eveling.

* '''August 9-10, 1932 -''' Redland visits the Seelie Court to meet with Dr. Parkhurst and obtain his notes on the Fae for Pentheus.

* '''August 12, 1932 -''' Henrik and Jack meet with Donal at the Pentheus headquarters.

* '''August 6-14, 1932 -''' Rebecca (and Tony, when available) spend several months (in the Unseelie Court) helping Henrik train both his 'soldier' and his 'general' powers. Redland pops in from time-to-time, and Henrik helps him work on his hand-to-hand skills and begins teaching him the rudiments of alchemy.

* '''August 14, 1932 -''' Henrik and Jack meet briefly with the KoF to discuss plans.

== Plotlines ==

As I join, there are four main threads: (1) Investigating Dr. George Phillips - who has something to do with a blood disease and is a figure from Dr. Ecker's past ; (2) investigating Reverend Frank Scott and his "sister" - a shady preacher who works with the poor at Clark Park (James O'Keefe is interested in the preacher for some reason); (3) the beating of Katie Flynn by her common-law husband Danny; (4) working with the Purple Gang (JT Williams is seeking to expand his business

== Events ==

Starting in August 1932.

* ''(Session One - November 2011)''

: ''08/01/1932 - 08/04/1932''
* Mon, Aug 1 -- Dr. Ecker, JT Williams, James O'Keefe, and Victor Grayson find themselves thrown together at the Irish Rose tavern in Detroit, owing to events relating to "Katie" Flynn. After a violent encounter with the tavern's proprietor (Katie Flynn is severely beaten by her common-law husband, Danny (proprieter of the Irish Rose)), the four men discover a hidden box which contains personal letters in French, a map of Los Angeles, and a medical journal. Dr. Ecker reads through the journal, which details a strange infection, with which Ms. Flynn appears to be inflicted.
* Tue, Aug 2 -- Led by O'Keefe, the group goes looking for Reverend Scott. Dr. Ecker, JT, and O'Keefe visit the Herman Keefer Hospital for Communicable Diseases, where Dr. Ecker has an old score to settle with Dr. Philips. The four men locate a 5th letter belonging to Ms. Flynn, which has already been translated to English. The letter raises more questions than it answers, with allusions to Weiss, Steele, Petit-Jean, Fae, Communion, Flynn, and Gautier).
* Wed, Aug 3 -- The group locates Reverend Scott at Clark Park. There is something peculiar about the way his sister paces behind the small group of people he is haranguing. They follow Mr. Scott, and he and his sister appear uncomfortably close. The group also follows Dr. Philips from the hospital. They steal some strange vials he has hidden in his car. JT sets up a meeting with the Purple Gang for Thursday.
* Thu, Aug 4 -- The four men meet with the Purple Gang at an Italian restaurant.

* ''(Session Two - June 2012)''
* Fri, Aug 5 - Four people break into the Herman Kiefer hospital to investigate Dr. George Phillips, an old co-worker and rival of Dr. Ecker. They find a modified patient file on Vivian Cooper-Levitt. Meanwhile, Victor and Lila secretly go to talk to Katie (a.k.a. 'Heather') Flynn, who is sick. That night, James and JT stake out Dr. Phillips. They see a rich car drop by and Phillips exchanges a small object for an envelope. The car goes back to Vivian Cooper-Levitt's mansion, so this was probably her family buying a vial of the serum.
* Sat, Aug 6 - Three kidnap Dr. Phillips as he leaves from his golf game, and discover details about the Fae blood condition (without that name).
* Sun, Aug 7 - No one can find Rev. Frank Scott that day. (Lila has a dinner date with a boring cab driver Ralph.) That night, Lila has the journalist Lovejoy meet with Katie/Heather, bringing a discrete doctor with him - who turns out to be Dr. Walters (!). He gives her the injection of serum that Lila supplied from Dr. Ecker. Lila reciprocates by giving an interview with Lovejoy.

* ''(Session Three - August 2012)''
* Mon, Aug 8 - Grand re-opening of the Irish Rose under a new manager, Susie Q, a figurehead who faced down Russian strongmen coming around for protection money.
* An unknown wealthy woman in her 30s (dressed in white silk and furs, with two bodyguards and a greyhound) came and argued with the new manager. She introduced herself as Voison. She gave Dr. Walters a flask. The bouncer, Joe, took a shot of this and found his senses enhanced and a high up.
* Negotiated more with Purple Gang - plan on smuggling trucks down from Canada on Friday. They have four trucks and drivers and a regular route, but will be testing us (as a gang).
* Still failed to find Rev. Frank Scott so far.
* "Doctor" Eckers left town after Lovejoy wrote an article about him exposing his lack of license. (The player, Scott, dropped out of the campaign.)

* ''(Session Five - November 2012)''
* Tue, Aug 9 - In the morning, Lila and J.T. track down the woman, Voison, at the Armitage House Hotel after searching around at several high class hotels. She is Voison Montaine from France. She is with a socialite set who go out partying all night.
* Several are checking up on Rev. Franklin Scott. He is young, around 18-20, and his sister Katherine is a year or two older. He works among the poor out of an empty storefront, that he is staying above, as the "United Assembly of God".
* That evening around 6, Jim goes to check in on Rev. Scott - he is working for some government types who will pick him up. He brings them out front to where some government-looking suits are standing, asking about a boy named Franklin. The two put a silver cable around the reverend, and he sprouted limbs or tentacles and grabbed one of the agents, encasing him in a cocoon and dragging him away. The other fired his pistol into him to no effect, with Lila and J.T. witnessing. They ran, but Jim ran in and collected the surviving agent. Victor stayed with the sister, and the reporter Lovejoy came and talked to her. She says she is from Ireland originally, but been in the U.S. for many years.
* Back at the Irish Rose, checking his wallet, he is a Treasury agent, Michael Barnes. Jim calls the Treasury agency to have them collect their agent.
* The reverend shows up again for the service, and gives a thin cover story to reporter Lovejoy.
* Late that night, Doc Walters arranges to run into Voison at a bar. She offers to make him fabulously wealthy by brewing the unusually elixir in a new facility.

* Wed, Aug 10 - Article comes out of interview with Katie Flynn. Agent Carl Akins questions J.T., Lila, and Doc Walters about the incident with the reverend. J.T. and Lila deny they saw anything, claiming they stayed in the car - then Lila and the others

* ''(Session Six - November 30, 2012)''
* Wed, Aug 10 - The group is going to meet with the Russians (under a leader known as "The Boyar") on Thursday.
* J.T. and Lila do a test run of the crossing to Canada planned for Friday.
* Lovejoy finds out that there is a Parkhurt Medical Foundation in Buffalo, New York. They say that Parkhurt moved to L.A., and give an address.
* Lovejoy comes to the Irish Rose to question Lila, and argues with her - saying that she was the connecting element over Danny's murder along with Ecker's and Flynn's disappearances.
* Victor, J.T., Doc Walters, and Lila meet with The Boyar after being fed nice Russian food with bulky guards around - and they brought in Lovejoy. The Boyar is a well-dressed in his 30s who commands attention. Victor says about Voisson and "tentacle monster" to The Boyar.
* The Boyar says that the real Voisson died, and the woman is a pretender capitalizing on her reputation. He is Rulyinof - father of Ilya the Czarina.
* He says the Purple Gang are involved with shady elements of the "Travellers" - Flynn's people who have varying degrees of a disease of the blood, called a "necrophage" by Parkhurst. The disease can be brought out of dormancy by injury.
* Flynn was involved with Maturin de Bonavault, a possibly dead or dormant figure who knew a lot. The journal may have a treatment for the disease, which Voisson wants to use to involuntarily treat rivals in the Travellers.
* The Boyar want to suppress the treatment. He is around for only a few weeks, and then will return to Russia. Parkhurst disappeared from his foundation a year ago, and now no one knows where he is. The Boyar and Russia would be interested in finding out - as well as the formula for aqua vitae (the elixir).

* ''(Session Seven - March 17, 2013)''
* PI Daphne Ferris points us to the Harvest Trust company...
* Thu, Aug 13: Meeting with Harvest Trust. They want to pay $200 per week for vague work to help protect against "Outsiders".
* Courier later from Trust comes - a 15 year-old girl who looked too perfect and had scintillating eyes. She agreed to take a message to Dr. Parkhurst asking for contact.
* Fri, Aug 12: Delivery for Purple Gang from Canada turned out to have wine, whisky, and at least 1, possibly 3 kids in a comatose state. (Turned out to have the 2 boys and 1 girl, all around 9-11 in age.) A courier from Harvest Trust showed up to give Doc Walters a retainer of $100.
* Talk with reporter Frank Lovejoy that night at the Irish Rose. That night, the same courier girl, Delphinus, returns to say that Parkhurst will meet them at 9 the next night. (...) Lila and J.T. follow her leaving and see her disappear into the shadows in an alley.
* (Give Lovejoy the letter from Mssr. Huber to Mssr. De Bonnevault found among Katie's papers at the Irish Rose.)

* ''(Session Eight - March 30, 2013)''
* Sat, Aug 13: Found that the Russians spoke well of Harvest Trust. Reporter Lovejoy found that Harvest Trust's public record of altruistic work checked out. Found Parkhurst last known in a house in L.A. with 10 or more people, owned by H. Rhyner.
* Sat evening met with Parkhurst in the Rose, who had two big bodyguards with beauty and strange eyes (a man and a woman). Parkhurst looks big, blonde, confident, and charismatic although not beautiful like the others. (He looks like a 30-year-old version of actor William Hopper.) He talked about the "necrophagic" disease, which over the course of it replaces the body, making the host stronger and more perceptive, and heal super quickly. Called "the condition" or "the birthright" (old-school), and makes a need to drink blood. The elixir replaces the need for blood, but creates a dependence, and they can no longer process blood after a while.
* Parkhurst talked about Carl Ellis who was the founder of Harvest Trust. Also about his own clinic, the Parkhurst Institute for Medical Research.
* J.T. told Parkhurst about smuggling the kids for the Purple Gang. He said he would do research and track them down. He confirmed that Voisson is an imposter is ... There are good and bad Russians, but creating new aqua vitae is not
* Lila talked to Parkhurst about him and Katie/Heather - who apparently was used to safeguard the notes. She said that he should copy and release them, and noted that he had endangered Katie, but he says that she knew what she was getting into.
* Sun, Aug 14: Bought a farmhouse from a farmer with cash from Voisson, to use as a base for producing aqua vitae. J.T. sent for his cousins Rufus and R.J. to oversee the brewing and distilling half of the operation. Rufus is muscle/driver, while R.J. knows the ropes of distilling. (Doc Walters would oversee the second half, using details yet to be provided by Voisson.)
* Mon, Aug 15: During the day, finalized the deed on the farmhouse. Parkhurst returns and says he had found kids at a farmhouse, and asked if we would help rescue the kids. In the evening, took trucks and attacked the farm with Parkhurst along with his two bodyguards and some human mercenaries. Defenders included a number people with the Condition. Victor was tossed out of a second-story window and hurt badly. In a hidden room, found a makeshift operating room where someone was dissected along with footprints to a car, and rescued 2 of the 3 kids. Lovejoy brought a photographer along who took many pictures of the events, including him carrying out the kids.
* Escape in the trucks, taking the two kids and the dissecting table covered in dark-colored blood. Parkhurst says that the two kids have the Condition, but are not part of his community in New Jersey.

* ''(Session Nine - April 13, 2013)''
* Tue, Aug 16: Began setting up the operation on the farm. One of Parkhurst's bodyguards (the man) and two human mercenaries (men) are staying at the farm. Take the dissecting table from the rescue to here. The farm now has two trucks and a car supplied by Parkhurst. The girl is silent, while the boy still seems to be in a deep sleep, though neither have obvious injuries.
* J.T. comes back to Detroit to get supplies and recruits Lila. They get medical supplies, lots of groceries, furnishings like blankets.
* The farm has a cow, some pigs and chickens, and a cat or two.
* Bodyguard talks to the girl alone - and tells Doc Walters that the boy and girl and Jason and Olivia (no relation). He doesn't know where the parents are, and they have been separated from their family since at least March. They had spent some time in Egypt, and were kept sedated/drugged for much of the time.

== Plotlines ==

As I join, there are four main threads: (1) Investigating Dr. George Phillips - who has something to do with a blood disease and is a figure from Dr. Ecker's past ; (2) investigating Reverend Frank Scott and his "sister" - a shady preacher who works with the poor at Clark Park (James O'Keefe is interested in the preacher for some reason); (3) the beating of Katie Flynn by her common-law husband Danny; (4) working with the Purple Gang (JT Williams is seeking to expand his business

== Events ==

Starting in August 1932.

* ''(Session One - November 2011)''

: ''08/01/1932 - 08/04/1932''

* Mon, Aug 1 -- Dr. Ecker, JT Williams, James O'Keefe, and Victor Grayson find themselves thrown together at the Irish Rose tavern in Detroit, owing to events relating to "Katie" Flynn. After a violent encounter with the tavern's proprietor (Katie Flynn is severely beaten by her common-law husband, Danny (proprieter of the Irish Rose)), the four men discover a hidden box which contains personal letters in French, a map of Los Angeles, and a medical journal. Dr. Ecker reads through the journal, which details a strange infection, with which Ms. Flynn appears to be inflicted.

* Tue, Aug 2 -- Led by O'Keefe, the group goes looking for Reverend Scott. Dr. Ecker, JT, and O'Keefe visit the Herman Keefer Hospital for Communicable Diseases, where Dr. Ecker has an old score to settle with Dr. Philips. The four men locate a 5th letter belonging to Ms. Flynn, which has already been translated to English. The letter raises more questions than it answers, with allusions to Weiss, Steele, Petit-Jean, Fae, Communion, Flynn, and Gautier).

* Wed, Aug 3 -- The group locates Reverend Scott at Clark Park. There is something peculiar about the way his sister paces behind the small group of people he is haranguing. They follow Mr. Scott, and he and his sister appear uncomfortably close. The group also follows Dr. Philips from the hospital. They steal some strange vials he has hidden in his car. JT sets up a meeting with the Purple Gang for Thursday.

* Thu, Aug 4 -- The four men meet with the Purple Gang at an Italian restaurant.

* ''(Session Two - June 2012)''
* Fri, Aug 5 - Four people break into the Herman Kiefer hospital to investigate Dr. George Phillips, an old co-worker and rival of Dr. Ecker. They find a modified patient file on Vivian Cooper-Levitt. Meanwhile, Victor and Lila secretly go to talk to Katie (a.k.a. 'Heather') Flynn, who is sick. That night, James and JT stake out Dr. Phillips. They see a rich car drop by and Phillips exchanges a small object for an envelope. The car goes back to Vivian Cooper-Levitt's mansion, so this was probably her family buying a vial of the serum.
* Sat, Aug 6 - Three kidnap Dr. Phillips as he leaves from his golf game, and discover details about the Fae blood condition (without that name).
* Sun, Aug 7 - No one can find Rev. Frank Scott that day. (Lila has a dinner date with a boring cab driver Ralph.) That night, Lila has the journalist Lovejoy meet with Katie/Heather, bringing a discrete doctor with him - who turns out to be Dr. Walters (!). He gives her the injection of serum that Lila supplied from Dr. Ecker. Lila reciprocates by giving an interview with Lovejoy.

== John's Notes ==

Starting in August 1932.

* ''(Session One - spring 2012)''

* Thu, Aug 4 - meet with the Purple Gang

* ''(Session Two - June 2012)''
* Fri, Aug 5 - Four people break into Keifer (sp?) hospital to investigate Dr. George Phillips, an old co-worker and rival of Dr. Ecker. They find a modified patient file on Vivian Cooper-Lovitt. Meanwhile, Victor and Lila secretly go to talk to Katie Flynn, who is sick. That night, stake out Dr. Phillips has a rich car drop by and gives a small object for an envelope. The car goes back to Vivian Cooper-Levitt's mansion, so this was probably her family buying a vial of the serum.
* Sat, Aug 6 - Three kidnap Dr. Phillips as he leaves from his golf game, and discover details about the Fae blood condition (without that name).

He gives her the injection of serum that Lila supplied from Dr. Ecker. Lila reciprocates by giving an interview with Lovejoy.

* ''(Session Three - August 2012)''
* Mon, Aug 8 - Grand re-opening of the Irish Rose under a new manager, Susie Q, a figurehead who faced down Russian strongmen coming around for protection money.
* An unknown wealthy woman in her 30s (dressed in white silk and furs, with two bodyguards and a greyhound) came and argued with the new manager. She introduced herself as Voison. She gave Dr. Walters a flask. The bouncer, Joe, took a shot of this and found his senses enhanced and a high up.
* Negotiated more with Purple Gang - plan on smuggling trucks down from Canada on Friday. They have four trucks and drivers and a regular route, but will be testing us (as a gang).
* Still failed to find Rev. Frank Scott so far.
* "Doctor" Eckers left town after Lovejoy wrote an article about him exposing his lack of license. (The player, Scott, dropped out of the campaign.)

* ''(Session Five - November 2012)''
* Tue, Aug 9 - In the morning, Lila and J.T. track down the woman, Voison, at the Armitage House Hotel after searching around at several high class hotels. She is Voison Montaine from France. She is with a socialite set who go out partying all night.
* Several are checking up on Rev. Franklin Scott. He is young, around 18-20, and his sister Katherine is a year or two older. He works among the poor out of an empty storefront, that he is staying above, as the "United Assembly of God".
* That evening around 6, Jim goes to check in on Rev. Scott - he is working for some government types who will pick him up. He brings them out front to where some government-looking suits are standing, asking about a boy named Franklin. The two put a silver cable around the reverend, and he sprouted limbs or tentacles and grabbed one of the agents, encasing him in a cocoon and dragging him away. The other fired his pistol into him to no effect, with Lila and J.T. witnessing. They ran, but Jim ran in and collected the surviving agent. Victor stayed with the sister, and the reporter Lovejoy came and talked to her. She says she is from Ireland originally, but been in the U.S. for many years.
* Back at the Irish Rose, checking his wallet, he is a Treasury agent, Michael Barnes. Jim calls the Treasury agency to have them collect their agent.
* The reverend shows up again for the service, and gives a thin cover story to reporter Lovejoy.
* Late that night, Doc Walters arranges to run into Voison at a bar. She offers to make him fabulously wealthy by brewing the unusually elixir in a new facility.

TheStarsAreRight:ImportantNonCharacters

2012-06-10T07:57:15Z

Jhkim:

back to [[TheStarsAreRight:Main Page]]

==Alanna==

A minor member of the Fae community in Los Angeles. I suppose she's not actually an important non player character... but don't tell Redland Jack, okay?

==Aran==

A Chinese warlord with a stronghold in Sechuan, on a dry dusty plateau. There is a gate nearby.

==Becker, Cecil==

A reclusive industrialist in his 60s, based in London. He made his fortune expanding his family's business. He is a patron of the arts, collecting a number of works from the 1870s onwards. He has mentored a number of young artists, but has never met any of them face to face -- instead acting through his agent Edmund Handley. In the winter of 1931, he commissioned a series of sketches of Sandoy Island from archaeological illustrator Henrik Mueller. The reason for these has not been explained. Turns out he's not in his 60s, but he is actually an American by birth and is the brother of Colonel Ryan Becker.

==Becker, Ryan==

Colonel, U. S. Army. Becker is the Army's go-to guy responsible for defending against Outsider incursions on U.S. soil. Ryan is the brother of Cecil Becker, now residing in England.

==[[MERIDON CAINE|Caine, Meridon]]==

Meridon appears to be approximately 40 years old and lives in New York. She is a sort of lawyer to the Seelie. Although she often works closely with the Seelie, she has experienced a trauma at their hands, and her overall feeling on them could be classified as 'ambivalent'. She is smart, pretty, and wonderful (and kind... and to heck with Carl if he disagrees).

==[[NOLAN COLBERT|Colbert, Nolan]]==

One of two survivors of the ill-fated 1903 Abydos Expedition. (Alexandria Stanton ''nee' Durrell'' being the other.) Existed for many years in a symbiotic relationship with the entity living at the center of Abydos. During which time he acted as judge, jury and executioner against cultists while working loosely with Pierre Farquell's organization. Eventually freed through the actions of Alexander Chase's people, he now currently resides in Kenosha, WI.

==[[Dacia (Neville) Coleman|Coleman, Dacia (nee Neville)]]==

Married to Lamont Coleman. Accomplished linguist and expert on ancient languages. Dacia also has the innate (and uncontrolled) ability to bend probabilities and reconnect them in the most unlikely of combinations.

==[[Jordayne Columbo|Columbo, Jordayne (nee Piercy)]]==

Born: June 3, 1896, Belmont Ohio
 Died: January 19, 1932, Chicago, IL

Theater manager of the Golden West Theater in San Vieta, California during the infamous San Vieta Slasher murders of 1921. Dated Terrence Columbo pre-1920,and they eventually married in 1923. After birth of their son, her husband vanished and she had only sporadic contact with him.

==[[President Charles Curtis|Curtis, Charles (President)]]==
Charles Curtis took office after Herbert Hoover died from contracting the Kansas City Influenza.

==Dark Pharaoh==

A cool guy who is Redland's close, personal friend. Or, possibly, a creepy, powerful Outsider who uses mortals as pawns for his own amusement... your pick. Frequently appears as an offputting middle-aged Egyptian-looking fellow.

==Dellman, Randolph==

Ostensible head of corporate operations for Penthius in New York. He met with Carl and company on March 15, 1932.

==Donal==

There are three copies of this guy hanging about, which is kind of interesting. Of course, two of the copies are dead, so now there is only one of him, which, I guess, makes him less interesting. He's associated, in some way, with Pentheus and the Principle of Aspiration.

==Ellis, Julian (nee Foundry)==

Carl Ellis' wife, and a member of the Foundry branch of the Island Families. Julian was one of the five young adults rescued from Eveling Industries near Madisonville, KY.

==Eveling, Lawrence==

Owner (in partnership with brother Jacob) of Eveling Industries in Madisonville, KY. Coal mining operation. Known to have worked with Goddard Islie and Frederick Marklin. (more details to be added.)

==Eveling, Loren==

Daughter of Lawrence Eveling, mother unknown. Loren was prepared and used as a vessel to house the awareness of The Progenitor - an Outside entity summoned into Madisonville, KY on April 19, 1929. Intervention by Carl Ellis and his people prevented a successful transference, and Loren later died, her own personality fragmented into madness.

==Fagin,Peter==

Originally a guard to the Romanov royal household under a different name, became obsessed with Hannalore Rhyner when their paths crossed in 1915. He spirited away Alexis Romanov from the house the Romanovs' were imprisoned in just before the family's murder. Taking the name of Peter Fagin when he became one of the Nightfolk, Fagin raised Alexis with the eventual goal of placing him on the Russian throne again. Fagin was the Nightfolk that passed the vampire contagion on to Hannelore Rhyner, and located Hannelore's half-sister Ineska. Fagin was killed by Maturin De Bonnevault in 1930.

==[[PIERRE FARQUELL|Farquell, Pierre]]==

Mystic and visionary, leader of a small and loosely organized group of people who fought against incursions of the Outside Gods, and countered the efforts of Goddard Islie's plans. Evidence indicates that Farquelle may have acquired the secret to unnaturally prolonging his life.

==[[EMMA HAMILTON|Hamilton, Emma]]==

Once a powerful member of the Enclave, she abandoned the Enclave and it's policies immediately after their civil war. Now an important member of the Seelie community, though she currently resides outside of it. Committed to, but not married to Theo Weiss, mother of Theo Weiss' daughter Sophia.

==Baron Hauptmann (sp?)==

A leader of the Brotherhood of the Beast, one of a handful of powerful sorcerors that run the organization. Summoner, spellcaster, and centuries-old body-jumper, he stays alive and young by stealing others' lives. He had been imprisoned in Tibet for a couple of years, but broke out sometime in early July, 1932, or thereabouts.

==[[EVANGLINE HOPEWELL|Hopewell, Evangline]]==

The alternative choice for the principal of Salvation and leadership of the Fae society. She was visited by Jon Cromwell sometime just prior to the ritual that transformed Hannalore Rhyner. During that time there is evidence that she may have shared Communion with Cromwell. Evangline eventually came to the Lyon community, and became Companion to Jon Cromwell. After Jon Cromwell's death, Hannalore completed the rebirth into Fae Society of Mr. Steel, her companion, so that Evangeline would continue to be Companioned.

Currently Evangline and Steele remain in Lyon, managing the estate and holdings that were left to Hannalore Rhyner, upon Jon Cromwell's death.

==Idrinya==

Overall leader of the Alchemists in Russia. She's a turkey ... er, she hails from Turkey and is married to Alexi.

==Ineska, Tsarina==

Half-sister to Medea, she is married to Tsar Alexis.

==[[GODDARD ISLIE|Islie, Goddard (The Dark Man)]]==

Leader of the group centered at the monastery in Trujillo, Spain. Unnaturally long-lived sorcerer and arch-enemy of Pierre Farquell and his people. Islie was destroyed in 1930 (?) and control of the Spanish faction was left in the hands of Theo Weiss. Currently the Spanish and the French groups work together in an uneasy alliance.

==King, Hannibal==

Private Investigator, originally located in Chicago, IL. King was eventually revealed to be one of the Nightsiders - or "The People" as they then termed themselves. King was instrumental in putting together the Nightsider Treaty with Carl Ellis, and played a early but pivotal part in the transfiguration of [[Rhyner, Hannelore / also known as Medea|Hannalore Rhyner]] into the principal of Salvation -- and her subsequent elevation to leadership of the new Nightsider (Fae) society, and afterward Queen of The Seelie Court.

==LaForge, Roger==

Current leader of the Brotherhood of the Beast. Might be more of an interim leader, as it is believed that he is searching for Baron Hauptmann. Actually just a figurehead (apparently) as indicated by Prometheus.

==Marissa Kazina==

A young woman of Spanish descent living in Vienna, where she owned and operated a nightclub. She is the potential consort to the current King of Body, Auda Abbasi. She is a beautiful woman in her early thirties with dark hair, dark eyes, and a sharp business sense. She is from a decent middle-class family in the Balkans (Yugoslavia). She has a minor criminal record in Vienna for petty theft and disturbing the peace.

Henrik and Rebecca first met with her in early March 1932. She later met with Carl and company in July 1932 on the estate Chalon sur Saone in France, where they began to introduce her to the mystical state of the world. Plans for introducing her as a soldier and consort included:
* Taste of Aqua vitae
* Attending awakening of the land at Chalone
* Amanda could help bolster Marissa's power in approx. 1.5-2 wks
* Auda going with her to Tibet and working in the library

==Milo (Tavernner?)==

A crusty, old prospector, Milo's best friend, Annabelle (a mule), has the ability to 'sniff out' alchemical materials. He spends a reasonable amount of time in the deserts near Los Angeles.

==Mueller, Rebecca (nee Hopkins)==

A woman originally from Kentucky, looks like a blonde California girl in her early twenties, but with an attitude. She has a power of empathy that she was raised from an early age to use as a weapon. She is closely bonded to Auda Abbasi and is married to Henrik Mueller.

==[[GREGORY PARKHURST|Parkhurst, Gregory, Dr.]]==

A central figure in Medea's court in Los Angeles

==Prometheus==

An Outsider that was trapped by a group of Alchemists in Russia. Freed by Redland Jack, he is the Outsider most summoned by Redland. As far as Jack can tell, he is not a particularly powerful member of his kind. Jack names him Prometheus because he was found chained up and he hopes he will be a benefactor of mankind. Also, because Greek names sound cool.

==[[KATYANA RASMUL|Rasmul, Katyana aka Albina Gilman]]==

Prior to her death, thought to be on track to becoming second in command of the group in Truillo Spain, under Goddard Islie. Dark sorcerer with many abilities tied to the worship of the Outside ones.

==Reynard==

She is the second most powerful member of the Unseelie Court.

==[[JONATHAN RISWOLD|Riswold, Jonathan]]==

Confidant and right hand man to Pierre Farquelle, up until at least 1905. At some point during this time there was a clash of opinions, and Riswold parted company with Farquelle and his people. Currently living in Mexico, not far from the Texas/Mexico border.

==[[Rhyner, Hannelore / also known as Medea]]==

The Queen of the Fae, and the Principle of Salvation. Her birthday is October 19th. She is currently residing in Los Angeles, and she has set up a base where she is gathering most of her people (several hundred at least). Previously married to Henry Williams (deceased) and Theo Weiss (divorced).

==[[ELAINE ROTH|Roth, Elaine]]==

TheStarsAreRight:ImportantNonCharacters

2012-06-10T07:49:45Z

Jhkim: /* Marissa */

back to [[TheStarsAreRight:Main Page]]

==Alanna==

A minor member of the Fae community in Los Angeles. I suppose she's not actually an important non player character... but don't tell Redland Jack, okay?

==Becker, Cecil==

A reclusive industrialist in his 60s, based in London. He made his fortune expanding his family's business. He is a patron of the arts, collecting a number of works from the 1870s onwards. He has mentored a number of young artists, but has never met any of them face to face -- instead acting through his agent Edmund Handley. In the winter of 1931, he commissioned a series of sketches of Sandoy Island from archaeological illustrator Henrik Mueller. The reason for these has not been explained. Turns out he's not in his 60s, but he is actually an American by birth and is the brother of Colonel Ryan Becker.

==Becker, Ryan==

Colonel, U. S. Army. Becker is the Army's go-to guy responsible for defending against Outsider incursions on U.S. soil. Ryan is the brother of Cecil Becker, now residing in England.

==[[MERIDON CAINE|Caine, Meridon]]==

Meridon appears to be approximately 40 years old and lives in New York. She is a sort of lawyer to the Seelie. Although she often works closely with the Seelie, she has experienced a trauma at their hands, and her overall feeling on them could be classified as 'ambivalent'. She is smart, pretty, and wonderful (and kind... and to heck with Carl if he disagrees).

==[[NOLAN COLBERT|Colbert, Nolan]]==

One of two survivors of the ill-fated 1903 Abydos Expedition. (Alexandria Stanton ''nee' Durrell'' being the other.) Existed for many years in a symbiotic relationship with the entity living at the center of Abydos. During which time he acted as judge, jury and executioner against cultists while working loosely with Pierre Farquell's organization. Eventually freed through the actions of Alexander Chase's people, he now currently resides in Kenosha, WI.

==[[Dacia (Neville) Coleman|Coleman, Dacia (nee Neville)]]==

Married to Lamont Coleman. Accomplished linguist and expert on ancient languages. Dacia also has the innate (and uncontrolled) ability to bend probabilities and reconnect them in the most unlikely of combinations.

==[[Jordayne Columbo|Columbo, Jordayne (nee Piercy)]]==

Born: June 3, 1896, Belmont Ohio
 Died: January 19, 1932, Chicago, IL

Theater manager of the Golden West Theater in San Vieta, California during the infamous San Vieta Slasher murders of 1921. Dated Terrence Columbo pre-1920,and they eventually married in 1923. After birth of their son, her husband vanished and she had only sporadic contact with him.

==[[President Charles Curtis|Curtis, Charles (President)]]==
Charles Curtis took office after Herbert Hoover died from contracting the Kansas City Influenza.

==Dark Pharaoh==

A cool guy who is Redland's close, personal friend. Or, possibly, a creepy, powerful Outsider who uses mortals as pawns for his own amusement... your pick. Frequently appears as an offputting middle-aged Egyptian-looking fellow.

==Dellman, Randolph==

Ostensible head of corporate operations for Penthius in New York. He met with Carl and company on March 15, 1932.

==Donal==

There are three copies of this guy hanging about, which is kind of interesting. Of course, two of the copies are dead, so now there is only one of him, which, I guess, makes him less interesting. He's associated, in some way, with Pentheus and the Principle of Aspiration.

==Ellis, Julian (nee Foundry)==

Carl Ellis' wife, and a member of the Foundry branch of the Island Families. Julian was one of the five young adults rescued from Eveling Industries near Madisonville, KY.

==Eveling, Lawrence==

Owner (in partnership with brother Jacob) of Eveling Industries in Madisonville, KY. Coal mining operation. Known to have worked with Goddard Islie and Frederick Marklin. (more details to be added.)

==Eveling, Loren==

Daughter of Lawrence Eveling, mother unknown. Loren was prepared and used as a vessel to house the awareness of The Progenitor - an Outside entity summoned into Madisonville, KY on April 19, 1929. Intervention by Carl Ellis and his people prevented a successful transference, and Loren later died, her own personality fragmented into madness.

==Fagin,Peter==

Originally a guard to the Romanov royal household under a different name, became obsessed with Hannalore Rhyner when their paths crossed in 1915. He spirited away Alexis Romanov from the house the Romanovs' were imprisoned in just before the family's murder. Taking the name of Peter Fagin when he became one of the Nightfolk, Fagin raised Alexis with the eventual goal of placing him on the Russian throne again. Fagin was the Nightfolk that passed the vampire contagion on to Hannelore Rhyner, and located Hannelore's half-sister Ineska. Fagin was killed by Maturin De Bonnevault in 1930.

==[[PIERRE FARQUELL|Farquell, Pierre]]==

Mystic and visionary, leader of a small and loosely organized group of people who fought against incursions of the Outside Gods, and countered the efforts of Goddard Islie's plans. Evidence indicates that Farquelle may have acquired the secret to unnaturally prolonging his life.

==[[EMMA HAMILTON|Hamilton, Emma]]==

Once a powerful member of the Enclave, she abandoned the Enclave and it's policies immediately after their civil war. Now an important member of the Seelie community, though she currently resides outside of it. Committed to, but not married to Theo Weiss, mother of Theo Weiss' daughter Sophia.

==Baron Hauptmann (sp?)==

A leader of the Brotherhood of the Beast, one of a handful of powerful sorcerors that run the organization. Summoner, spellcaster, and centuries-old body-jumper, he stays alive and young by stealing others' lives. He had been imprisoned in Tibet for a couple of years, but broke out sometime in early July, 1932, or thereabouts.

==[[EVANGLINE HOPEWELL|Hopewell, Evangline]]==

The alternative choice for the principal of Salvation and leadership of the Fae society. She was visited by Jon Cromwell sometime just prior to the ritual that transformed Hannalore Rhyner. During that time there is evidence that she may have shared Communion with Cromwell. Evangline eventually came to the Lyon community, and became Companion to Jon Cromwell. After Jon Cromwell's death, Hannalore completed the rebirth into Fae Society of Mr. Steel, her companion, so that Evangeline would continue to be Companioned.

Currently Evangline and Steele remain in Lyon, managing the estate and holdings that were left to Hannalore Rhyner, upon Jon Cromwell's death.

==Idrinya==

Overall leader of the Alchemists in Russia. She's a turkey ... er, she hails from Turkey and is married to Alexi.

==Ineska, Tsarina==

Half-sister to Medea, she is married to Tsar Alexis.

==[[GODDARD ISLIE|Islie, Goddard (The Dark Man)]]==

Leader of the group centered at the monastery in Trujillo, Spain. Unnaturally long-lived sorcerer and arch-enemy of Pierre Farquell and his people. Islie was destroyed in 1930 (?) and control of the Spanish faction was left in the hands of Theo Weiss. Currently the Spanish and the French groups work together in an uneasy alliance.

==King, Hannibal==

Private Investigator, originally located in Chicago, IL. King was eventually revealed to be one of the Nightsiders - or "The People" as they then termed themselves. King was instrumental in putting together the Nightsider Treaty with Carl Ellis, and played a early but pivotal part in the transfiguration of [[Rhyner, Hannelore / also known as Medea|Hannalore Rhyner]] into the principal of Salvation -- and her subsequent elevation to leadership of the new Nightsider (Fae) society, and afterward Queen of The Seelie Court.

==LaForge, Roger==

Current leader of the Brotherhood of the Beast. Might be more of an interim leader, as it is believed that he is searching for Baron Hauptmann. Actually just a figurehead (apparently) as indicated by Prometheus.

==Marissa Kazina==

A young woman of Spanish descent living in Vienna, where she owned and operated a nightclub. She is the potential consort to the current King of Body, Auda Abbasi. She is a beautiful woman in her early thirties with dark hair, dark eyes, and a sharp business sense. She is from a decent middle-class family in the Balkans (Yugoslavia). She has a minor criminal record in Vienna for petty theft and disturbing the peace.

Henrik and Rebecca first met with her in early March 1932. She later met with Carl and company in July 1932 on the estate Chalon sur Saone in France, where they began to introduce her to the mystical state of the world. Plans for introducing her as a soldier and consort included:
* Taste of Aqua vitae
* Attending awakening of the land at Chalone
* Amanda could help bolster Marissa's power in approx. 1.5-2 wks
* Auda going with her to Tibet and working in the library

==Milo (Tavernner?)==

A crusty, old prospector, Milo's best friend, Annabelle (a mule), has the ability to 'sniff out' alchemical materials. He spends a reasonable amount of time in the deserts near Los Angeles.

==Mueller, Rebecca (nee Hopkins)==

A woman originally from Kentucky, looks like a blonde California girl in her early twenties, but with an attitude. She has a power of empathy that she was raised from an early age to use as a weapon. She is closely bonded to Auda Abbasi and is married to Henrik Mueller.

==[[GREGORY PARKHURST|Parkhurst, Gregory, Dr.]]==

A central figure in Medea's court in Los Angeles

==Prometheus==

An Outsider that was trapped by a group of Alchemists in Russia. Freed by Redland Jack, he is the Outsider most summoned by Redland. As far as Jack can tell, he is not a particularly powerful member of his kind. Jack names him Prometheus because he was found chained up and he hopes he will be a benefactor of mankind. Also, because Greek names sound cool.

==[[KATYANA RASMUL|Rasmul, Katyana aka Albina Gilman]]==

Prior to her death, thought to be on track to becoming second in command of the group in Truillo Spain, under Goddard Islie. Dark sorcerer with many abilities tied to the worship of the Outside ones.

==Reynard==

She is the second most powerful member of the Unseelie Court.

==[[JONATHAN RISWOLD|Riswold, Jonathan]]==

Confidant and right hand man to Pierre Farquelle, up until at least 1905. At some point during this time there was a clash of opinions, and Riswold parted company with Farquelle and his people. Currently living in Mexico, not far from the Texas/Mexico border.

The Queen of the Fae, and the Principle of Salvation. Her birthday is October 19th. She is currently residing in Los Angeles, and she has set up a base where she is gathering most of her people (several hundred at least). Previously married to Henry Williams (deceased) and Theo Weiss (divorced).

==[[ELAINE ROTH|Roth, Elaine]]==

A member of the [[The_Island_Family|Island Families]] (of the Roth clan) who gave up her mystical connection to the families in order to help Carl against the Warlord Aran in China. She and Antonio Grimaldi have a son named Peter. According to residents in Bailey, she had left Bailey for parts unknown before the events in December 1931 where the village's pagan deity, The Lady, was re-imprisoned. At last report, as of May 1932, Elaine was in Japan.

Both Peter and [[Grace Turner]] whom he was left in Bailey with have since joined Elaine in Japan.

==[[MIRIAM ROTH|Roth, Miriam]]==

Elaine's mother and a member of the [[The_Island_Family|Island Families]] (of the Roth clan), strong in the Roth ability of Empathy. The first of the Family members to break the code of silence and speak to an outsider (Carl Ellis) about the history and ties between the Family members.

==Roxanne==

A young woman, seeming age 18, with dark hair and of Armenian or Russian descent. She travelled for some time as companion to Boris Valenko. She was shy and stuck close to him.

==[[ALEXANDRIA STANTON|Stanton, Alexandria Elyse (nee Durrell)]]==

The Principle of Resurrection, whose whereabouts are unknown at present. She is the head of the "Children of Abydos", and her birthday is on August 19th. Once engaged to [[TheStarsAreRight:ActivePlayers#Antonio_Grimaldi|Antonio Grimaldi]], now married to [[TheStarsAreRight:InactivePlayers#Coleman.2C_Jason_aka_John_Stanton|John Stanton]].

==Stevenson, Diana==

Formerly a rising star in the Brotherhood of the Beast. Was known to be more interested in power than in the ideology of the organization. Her current whereabouts are unknown. Said by Prometheus to be one of the current leaders of the Brotherhood (along with Petter Varr and Ian McCullum).

==[[LAURA STRICKLEY|Strickley, Laura]]==

A candidate for the Principle of Aspiration. An aristocratic Englishwoman, she escaped from an insane asylum early in 1932. She believed/believes that she is living in the 1890s. She is currently recovering at the Wisphers Estate. According to the psychiatrist, Dr. Andrew Whitmore, she had been at the asylum for 4 years after a local constable had found her wandering by the beach. She believes that "Donal McTavish" is her godfather, whom she exchanged letters with overseas. (Investigated in Feb 13-16, 1932.)

==[[RODERICK USHER|Usher, Roderick]]==

A powerful Nightsider who has designs on becoming the leader of the Fae. Originally house leader in the Enclave faction, since Medea's rise and the fall of the Enclave, he has allied himself with one of the Elders and became Consort to the Queen of Air and Darkness within the Seelie court. Usher was ambushed and killed through the machinations of Gottard Islie in summer of 1932.

==Van der Vecken, Johann==

Current leader of the Unseelie Court.

==Varr, Petter==

Said by Prometheus to be one of the current leaders of the Brotherhood (along with Diana Stevenson)

==Yuri==

'Practice' Leader of 'The Alchemists' in Russia. Based out of St. Petersburg. He's in his early 60s. He works closely with two other alchemists, Gregor and Chijiko (sp). They were all nice to Redland, so we can safely assume they're good guys.

This campaign started as a new group in 2012, although several players had played in other campaigns in the world.

''Set in Detroit in 1932 - our oddly matched group of characters continue to balance gangsters, a mysterious medical condition, an odd preacher and his sister and a state hospital scandal - all in an effort to figure out the complicated workings of the under classes.''

== Detroit in 1932 ==

Detroit - like all of urban America - reels under the crushing grip of the Great Depression. With the crash of the stock market in February 1930, the economy has been in a progressive tail-spin.

The largest employers in the area - the automobile manufacturers - have been hardest hit. Ford, Cadillac, Fisher, Buick, Packard, and the Detroit Electric Car Company have all curtailed production and let go thousands of workers. Auto factory jobs once thought to be a life-time guarantee of employment, have sadly become run by mere skeleton crews.

Now, two years into the crisis, with production of goods at a stand still, in a city of approximately 1.5 million people, over 225,000 are unemployed. Men who are unmarried have an easier time of it - they have no wives or children to worry about. Those who are married struggle on as best they can - knowing that each day without a job means another day they must find some method to feed the ones they care for.

There are a few rays of hope. The Mayor's Commission provides boxes of apples for men to sell on the street corners at 5 cents per apple. The Capuchin Monks feed 800 per day through the Catholic churches. The idle Fisher Auto Factory has become the City Municipal Lodging House, with heat, lights, showers, and meals for unmarried men - provided by donations from the Fisher brothers. The White Towers restaurants serve free lunches once a month.

Clark Park has been set up as an emergency camp for evicted families. Private citizens and the National Guard have donated tents. The women have created sewing circles, while the children used the playgrounds and the men looked for work. Thrift Gardens have been planted along the outskirts to help with feeding the poverty-stricken. Physicians donate free medical care under the auspices of the Medical Relief Committee.

For those who have a few coins to rub together, prohibition is playing out its last gasp the best way it knows how - by letting the liquor flow through thousands and thousands of bars and taverns. Most operate openly with little interference from the police, serving up a mixture of poor grade liquor, gambling, worn and desperate women - and if a high class joint - a piano player working for tips.

== Characters ==

* Robbie playing Victor - a bald, scarred gambler running games at the Rose
* Keith playing J.T. Williams - a rum-runner ("Wheels")
* Andrew playing Frank Lovejoy - an enterprising newspaper journalist
* John (me) playing Lila Clark - a 30-or-so woman moved to Detroit working as hostess as the Rose ("Rosie")
* Steven playing Obediah Walters - a doctor who lost his license working for the mobs ("Doc")
* Andrew playing Joe - a huge drifter, former WWI vet working as a bouncer for room and board at the Rose (nickname "The Wall")
* Scott playing DeWitt Ecker - an unlicensed doctor in his 60s
* Eric playing Jim O'Keefe - an overweight ex-cop in his 40s

== Plotlines ==

As I join, there are three main threads: (1) Investigating Dr. George Phillips - who has something to do with blood disease ; (2) investigating Reverend Frank Scott and his "sister" - a shady preacher to works with the poor at Clark Park; (3) the beating of Katie Flynn by her common-law husband Danny.

== Events ==

Starting in August 1932.

* ''(Session One - spring 2012)''
* Mon, Aug 1 - Katie Flynn severely beaten by her common-law husband, Danny (proprieter of the Irish Rose). She is treated by Dr. Ecker.
* Thu, Aug 4 - meet with the Purple Gang
* ''(Session Two - June 2012)''
* Fri, Aug 5 - Four people break into Keifer (sp?) hospital to investigate Dr. George Phillips, an old co-worker and rival of Dr. Ecker. They find a modified patient file on Vivian COoper-Lovitt. Meanwhile, Victor and Lila secretly go to talk to Katie Flynn, who is sick. That night, stake out Dr. Phillips has a rich car drop by and gives a small object for an envelope. The car goes back to Vivian Cooper-Levitt's mansion, so this was probably her family buying a vial of the serum.
* Sat, Aug 6 - Three kidnap Dr. Phillips as he leaves from his golf game, and discover details about the Fae blood condition (without that name).
* Sun, Aug 6 - No one can find Rev. Frank Scott that day. (Lila has a dinner date with a boring cab driver Ralph.) That night, Lila has the journalist Lovejoy meet with Katie/Heather, bringing a discrete doctor with him - who turns out to be Dr. Walters (!). He gives her the injection of serum that Lila supplied from Dr. Ecker. Lila reciprocates by giving an interview with Lovejoy.

(Notes on session of June 11, 2011 - initial notes by John Kim)

Date: Friday, Aug 5, 1932

Location: New York City

Jack, Deuce, Henrik, and Rebecca are at a hotel enjoying breakfast. Jack has written out an outline of the group's plans.

* Meet a big producer, James Waters, who is looking for an actor named Victor Lemming - who is actually Eric Markland / Eric Foundry / Eric Roher. Rebecca says that Eric was the previous King of Body - that he went to China and Auda came back, taking over the position of King.
* James says that his movie is being produced by Pentheus, a movie called "The French King." Pentheus, via his contact Mark Kennedy, told him that Victor would be perfect for the role.

* Jack and Henrik call George Fuller in the U.S. State Department, and get vague agreement that he would be willing to pull strings for Pentheus, without nailing down any specifics. They also arrange a meeting with Dellman of Pentheus for 2:00PM.

* They hear from Father Patrick who has studied in the Vatican about the Sword of Solomon. It reputedly can repel hordes of demons, devour evil, and merge with its wielder. It appeared in France in the 1600s.

* Following directions from Meridan Kane, the group of four goes to a gateway in Central Park. Jack lets blood and we meet the gatekeeper Frank. All agree to visit the Unseelie Court. It appears as a modest village of some twenty buildings in mostly wild lands with no modern conveniences.

* The four stay in the court for a full day - which is less than an hour on the outside, thanks to the 30:1 time ratio. We go on to the afternoon meeting with Mr. Dellman of Pentheus. He explains what he wants:
*# Access to the U.S. Army's photography stock.
*# (He notes the government has purchased land in the Midwest, Kansas City in particular.)
*# D. says he started small, came onto this by happenstance. After New World Industries was taken apart and Edward Chandler fled the country, former NWI scientists and ties to Japan and China convinced him and other leaders of Pentheus that of the truth about the state of the world. Pentheus started preparing for the apocalypse two years ago.
*# Jack and Henrik tell him about using the Unseelie space as a resource, giving them extra time to prepare for the incursion in October. Jack tells him that Dr. Parkhurst has notes on the fae. Dellman wants to know more about the fae themselves and ideally have a subject to test.

Jhkim: First draft of session summary

(Session held June 11, 2011 - initial notes by John Kim)

Date: Friday, Aug 5, 1932
Location: New York City

Begin in New York City. Jack, Deuce, Henrik, and Rebecca are at a hotel enjoying breakfast. Jack has written out an outline of the group's plans.

* Meet a big producer, James Waters, who is looking for an actor named Victor Lemming - who is actually Eric Markland / Eric Foundry / Eric Roher. Rebecca says that Eric was the previous King of Body - that he went to China and Auda came back, taking over the position of King.
* James says that his movie is being produced by Pentheus, a movie called "The French King." Pentheus, via his contact Mark Kennedy, told him that Victor would be perfect for the role.

* Jack and Henrik call George Fuller in the U.S. State Department, and get vague agreement that he would be willing to pull strings for Pentheus, without nailing down any specifics. They also arrange a meeting with Dellman of Pentheus for 2:00PM.

* They hear from Father Patrick who has studied in the Vatican about the Sword of Solomon. It reputedly can repel hordes of demons, devour evil, and merge with its wielder. It appeared in France in the 1600s.

* Following directions from Meridan Kane, the group of four goes to a gateway in Central Park. Jack lets blood and we meet the gatekeeper Frank. All agree to visit the Unseelie Court. It appears as a modest village of some twenty buildings in mostly wild lands with no modern conveniences.

* They meet a slender woman with vivid green eyes and red hair with a black streak. She (?) is Reynard, representative of Vanderbecken. James shows them the symbol of the "Yellow King" and Reynard says they are opposed.

* The group discusses the state of the world with James and Deuce.

* Reynard comes back with Vanderbecken. A short, stocky Dutchman with black hair and blue eyes. We recall that he has the same name as the captain of the legendary Flying Dutchman.

* Henrik gives the Unseelie a gift of 1 of his 3 pints of aqua vitae after Vanderbecken says that they are welcome to stay for a time. He says that they can include more people if they want - only that they should warn him in advance if it is to be more than 20.

* The four stay in the court for a full day - which is less than an hour on the outside, thanks to the 30:1 time ratio. We go on to the afternoon meeting with Mr. Dellman of Pentheus. He explains what he wants:

Jhkim: Added Marissa and Roxanne and Randolph Dellman

back to [[TheStarsAreRight:Main Page]]

==Alanna==

A minor member of the Fae community in Los Angeles. I suppose she's not actually an important non player character... but don't tell Redland Jack, okay?

==Becker, Cecil==

A reclusive industrialist in his 60s, based in London. He made his fortune expanding his family's business. He is a patron of the arts, collecting a number of works from the 1870s onwards. He has mentored a number of young artists, but has never met any of them face to face -- instead acting through his agent Edmund Handley. In the winter of 1931, he commissioned a series of sketches of Sandoy Island from archaeological illustrator Henrik Mueller. The reason for these has not been explained. Turns out he's not in his 60s, but he is actually an American by birth and is the brother of Colonel Ryan Becker.

==Becker, Ryan==

Colonel, U. S. Army. Becker is the Army's go-to guy responsible for defending against Outsider incursions on U.S. soil. Ryan is the brother of Cecil Becker, now residing in England.

==[[MERIDON CAINE|Caine, Meridon]]==

Meridon appears to be approximately 40 years old and lives in New York. She is a sort of lawyer to the Seelie. Although she often works closely with the Seelie, she has experienced a trauma at their hands, and her overall feeling on them could be classified as 'ambivalent'. She is smart, pretty, and wonderful (and kind... and to heck with Carl if he disagrees).

==[[NOLAN COLBERT|Colbert, Nolan]]==

One of two survivors of the ill-fated 1903 Abydos Expedition. (Alexandria Stanton ''nee' Durrell'' being the other.) Existed for many years in a symbiotic relationship with the entity living at the center of Abydos. During which time he acted as judge, jury and executioner against cultists while working loosely with Pierre Farquell's organization. Eventually freed through the actions of Alexander Chase's people, he now currently resides in Kenosha, WI.

==Colman, Dacia (nee Neville)==

Married to Lamont Coleman. Accomplished linguist and expert on ancient languages. Dacia also has the innate (and uncontrolled) ability to bend probabilities and reconnect them in the most unlikely of combinations.

==Coleman, Lamont==

An official in the U.S. federal government, effectively their "Witchfinder General".

==[[Jordayne Columbo|Columbo, Jordayne (nee Piercy)]]==

Born: June 3, 1896, Belmont Ohio
 Died: January 19, 1932, Chicago, IL

Theater manager of the Golden West Theater in San Vieta, California during the infamous San Vieta Slasher murders of 1921. Dated Terrence Columbo pre-1920,and they eventually married in 1923. After birth of their son, her husband vanished and she had only sporadic contact with him.

==Dark Pharaoh==

A cool guy who is Redland's close, personal friend. Or, possibly, a creepy, powerful Outsider who uses mortals as pawns for his own amusement... your pick. Frequently appears as an offputting middle-aged Egyptian-looking fellow.

==Dellman, Randolph==

Ostensible head of corporate operations for Penthius in New York. He met with Carl and company on March 15, 1932.

==Donal==

There are three copies of this guy hanging about, which is kind of interesting. Of course, two of the copies are dead, so now there is only one of him, which, I guess, makes him less interesting. He's associated, in some way, with Pentheus and the Principle of Aspiration.

==Ellis, Julian (nee Foundry)==

Carl Ellis' wife, and a member of the Foundry branch of the Island Families. Julian was one of the five young adults rescued from Eveling Industries near Madisonville, KY.

==Fagin,Peter==

Originally a guard to the Romanov royal household under a different name, became obsessed with Hannalore Rhyner when their paths crossed in 1915. He spirited away Alexis Romanov from the house the Romanovs' were imprisoned in just before the family's murder. Taking the name of Peter Fagin when he became one of the Nightfolk, Fagin raised Alexis with the eventual goal of placing him on the Russian throne again. Fagin was the Nightfolk that passed the vampire contagion on to Hannelore Rhyner, and located Hannelore's half-sister Ineska. Fagin was killed by Maturin De Bonnevault in 1930.

==[[PIERRE FARQUELL|Farquell, Pierre]]==

Mystic and visionary, leader of a small and loosely organized group of people who fought against incursions of the Outside Gods, and countered the efforts of Goddard Islie's plans. Evidence indicates that Farquelle may have acquired the secret to unnaturally prolonging his life.

==[[EMMA HAMILTON|Hamilton, Emma]]==

Once a powerful member of the Enclave, she abandoned the Enclave and it's policies immediately after their civil war. Now an important member of the Seelie community, though she currently resides outside of it. Committed to, but not married to Theo Weiss, mother of Theo Weiss' daughter Sophia.

==Baron Hauptmann (sp?)==

A leader of the Brotherhood of the Beast, one of a handful of powerful sorcerors that run the organization. Summoner, spellcaster, and centuries-old body-jumper, he stays alive and young by stealing others' lives. He had been imprisoned in Tibet for a couple of years, but broke out sometime in early July, 1932, or thereabouts.

==[[EVANGLINE HOPEWELL|Hopewell, Evangline]]==

The alternative choice for the principal of Salvation and leadership of the Fae society. She was visited by Jon Cromwell sometime just prior to the ritual that transformed Hannalore Rhyner. During that time there is evidence that she may have shared Communion with Cromwell. Evangline eventually came to the Lyon community, and became Companion to Jon Cromwell. After Jon Cromwell's death, Hannalore completed the rebirth into Fae Society of Mr. Steel, her companion, so that Evangeline would continue to be Companioned.

Currently Evangline and Steele remain in Lyon, managing the estate and holdings that were left to Hannalore Rhyner, upon Jon Cromwell's death.

==Idrinya==

Overall leader of the Alchemists in Russia. She's a turkey ... er, she hails from Turkey and is married to Alexi.

==Ineska, Tsarina==

Sister (I believe) to Medea, she is married to Tsar Alexis.

==King, Hannibal==

Private Investigator, originally located in Chicago, IL. King was eventually revealed to be one of the Nightsiders - or "The People" as they then termed themselves. King was instrumental in putting together the Nightsider Treaty with Carl Ellis, and played a early but pivotal part in the transfiguration of [[Rhyner, Hannelore / also known as Medea|Hannalore Rhyner]] into the principal of Salvation -- and her subsequent elevation to leadership of the new Nightsider (Fae) society, and afterward Queen of The Seelie Court.

==LaForge, Roger==

Current leader of the Brotherhood of the Beast. Might be more of an interim leader, as it is believed that he is searching for Baron Hauptmann. Actually just a figurehead (apparently) as indicated by Prometheus.

==Marissa==

A young woman of Spanish descent living in Vienna, where she owned and operated a nightclub. She is the potential consort to the current King of Body, Auda Abbasi. She has a sharp business sense. Henrik and Rebecca first met with her in early March 1932. She later met with Carl and company in July 1932 on the estate Chalon sur Saone in France, where they began to introduce her to the mystical state of the world.

==Milo (Tavernner?)==

A crusty, old prospector, Milo's best friend, Annabelle (a mule), has the ability to 'sniff out' alchemical materials. He spends a reasonable amount of time in the deserts near Los Angeles.

==Mueller, Rebecca (nee Hopkins)==

A woman originally from Kentucky, looks like a blonde California girl in her early twenties, but with an attitude. She has a power of empathy that she was raised from an early age to use as a weapon. She is closely bonded to Auda Abbasi and is married to Henrik Mueller.

==[[GREGORY PARKHURST|Parkhurst, Grergory, Dr.]]==

A central figure in Medea's court in Los Angeles

==Prometheus==

An Outsider that was trapped by a group of Alchemists in Russia. Freed by Redland Jack, he is the Outsider most summoned by Redland. As far as Jack can tell, he is not a particularly powerful member of his kind. Jack names him Prometheus because he was found chained up and he hopes he will be a benefactor of mankind. Also, because Greek names sound cool.

==[[JONATHAN RISWOLD|Riswold, Jonathan]]==

Confidant and right hand man to Pierre Farquelle, up until at least 1905. At some point during this time there was a clash of opinions, and Riswold parted company with Farquelle and his people. Currently living in Mexico, not far from the Texas/Mexico border.

==[[Rhyner, Hannelore / also known as Medea]]==

The Queen of the Fae, and the Principle of Salvation. Her birthday is October 19th. She is currently residing in Los Angeles, and she has set up a base where she is gathering most of her people (several hundred at least). Previously married to Henry Williams (deceased) and Theo Weiss (divorced).

==[[ELAINE ROTH|Roth, Elaine]]==

A member of the Island families (of the Roth clan) who gave up her mystical connection to the families in order to help Carl against the Warlord Aran in China. She and Antonio Grimaldi have a son named Peter. According to residents in Bailey, she had left Bailey for parts unknown before the events in December 1931 where the village's pagan deity, The Lady, was re-imprisoned. At last report, as of May 1932, Elaine was in Japan.

Both Peter and [[Grace Turner]] whom he was left in Bailey with have since joined Elaine in Japan.

==Roxanne==

A young woman, seeming age 18, with dark hair and of Armenian or Russian descent. She travelled for some time as companion to Boris Valenko. She was shy and stuck close to him.

==[[ALEXANDRIA STANTON|Stanton, Alexandria Elyse (nee Durrell)]]==

The Principle of Resurrection, whose whereabouts are unknown at present. She is the head of the "Children of Abydos", and her birthday is on August 19th. Once engaged to Antonio Grimaldi, now married to John Stanton.

==Stevenson, Diana==

Formerly a rising star in the Brotherhood of the Beast. Was known to be more interested in power than in the ideology of the organization. Her current whereabouts are unknown. Said by Prometheus to be one of the current leaders of the Brotherhood (along with Petter Varr and Ian McCullum).

==[[LAURA STRICKLEY|Strickley, Laura]]==

A candidate for the Principle of Aspiration. An aristocratic Englishwoman, she escaped from an insane asylum early in 1932. She believed/believes that she is living in the 1890s. She is currently recovering at the Wisphers Estate. According to the psychiatrist, Dr. Andrew Whitmore, she had been at the asylum for 4 years after a local constable had found her wandering by the beach. She believes that "Donal McTavish" is her godfather, whom she exchanged letters with overseas. (Investigated in Feb 13-16, 1932.)

==[[RODERICK USHER|Usher, Roderick]]==

A powerful Nightsider who has designs on becoming the leader of the Fae. Originally house leader in the Enclave faction, since Medea's rise and the fall of the Enclave, he has allied himself with one of the Elders and became Consort to the Queen of Air and Darkness within the Seelie court. Usher was ambushed and killed through the machinations of Gottard Islie in summer of 1932.

==Varr, Petter==

Said by Prometheus to be one of the current leaders of the Brotherhood (along with Diana Stevenson)

==Yuri==

'Practice' Leader of 'The Alchemists' in Russia. Based out of St. Petersburg. He's in his early 60s. He works closely with two other alchemists, Gregor and Chijiko (sp). They were all nice to Redland, so we can safely assume they're good guys.

=Henrik Mueller=

A philosophical German emigrant artist, Henrik was the troubled son of a bookseller and a schoolteacher who had dropped out of high school to volunteer in the Great War, then did odd jobs after the war until he got a job to help sketch findings with an Egyptological expedition. He could not find work upon returning to Germany, and emigrated to England where he is currently staying with his English uncle. He connected with Carl Ellis and the others when he was hired to sketch landscape scenes from Sandø island by a reclusive patron.

== Winter 1930==

* '''Dec 26, 1930 -''' The moon rose blood red in the sky for the world to see.

== Summer 1931==

* '''Jun 1931 -''' Leave for China. They go to stop the King of Body, who has set himself up as a warlord and doing unspeakable things with his powers. They take with them a number of children to bargain with him. The King is eventually killed. His first replacement also goes insane and is killed. Auda Abassi then becomes the second replacement of him.

== Fall 1931 ==

* '''Oct 1931 -''' Return from China.

==Winter 1931==

* '''Dec 14, 1931 -''' Leave from Inverness for Sandø Island, with Carl Ellis' group along with crewman John Elwar, and passengers Redland Jack and Henrik Mueller. This island has been uninhabited since a shipwreck in the 16th century which left survivors stranded for several years. The survivors of that eventually founded a clan/cult which would later become the village of Bailey.

* '''Dec 16, 1931 -''' Arrive at Sandø. Stay overnight after doing a ritual to investigate for signs of the influence. There is a roughly triangular hollow with vaguely serpent-shaped columns of stones in the corners of the hollow. They find a hole hidden by a flat stone down to a rough-shaped chamber with room for two people.

* '''Dec 17, 1931 -''' Rebecca and Henrik talk. (''End of session'') Carl, Henrik, and Redland Jack discuss plans for going to Bailey.

* '''Dec 19, 1931 -''' The Augusta Queen leaves the Faeroes early in the morning.

* '''Dec 20, 1931 -''' Arrive at Aberdeen in the evening. Hansen shows a crumpled ad for Hardeen the Mysterious from the early twenties, brother of Harry Houdini.

* '''Dec 21, 1931 -''' Arrive in Edinborough in the morning. Arrive in Reith, near Bailey at 11PM. After arranging rooms at the inn, they all walk through snow towards Bailey. They are shadowed by a fey named Andrew, who tells them new. Nearby, Carl, Rebecca, and Auda do a ritual to open the ley line going into the village. Carl and Rebecca are exhausted by this, and Auda nearly goes to attack the church, but he is knocked unconscious by Erich. Carl then does second ritual, watched over by the others while Henrik takes Rebecca and the unconscious Auda back to the inn. During the walk back, they kiss. The group meets at the inn later. (''End of session'' -- ''In email, there are conversations at the inn and Carl giving documents to the newcomers.'')

* '''Dec 22, 1931 -''' In the morning, the American private investigator Bobby Hansen turns up, interested in meeting Constance Talmudge (an actress who lives in Bailey, but also the incarnation of the spirit known as The Lady). He joins the others going to Bailey. They arrive little over an hour before the solstice, which is around 11AM. They find a manor house under construction and a church-like building built around a pyramid, but no people about. The church is on the ley line, and they go down steps under the church.

: They first encounter a giant scorpion creature, which runs after Hansen shoots it. In a room later, they find 30 people in a trance watching a column of light. They are a distraction, a simple energy source for the Lady. In a room following, they find 10 villagers also in a trance, facing a display of four human skins. Constance is nowhere to be found, though. There is a small chamber adjoining this where they can feel a psychic connection.

: They attempt a ritual with multiple parts. To disrupt the Lady's ritual, Hansen distract the 10 people by giving them a forceful command to leave, aided by Redland Jack and John. Auda carved a symbol into the floor of the chamber and activated it with his blood. Using a silver paint pen given him by Carl, Henrik draws pictures of the three guardian statues that he had studied on Sandø Island. When the ritual completes, the guardians come to life. After staying at the back and in corners for a while, Jack inexplicably tries to attack them, but Henrik fends him off. John commands them to take the Lady back to her prison, and they obey.

==Winter 1932==

* '''Feb 3, 1932 -''' Unbeknownst to them, when they leave the ley-line-charged church, it is six weeks later, February 3 of the following year. Hansen first emerges, with a dozen of the villagers who have fixated on him since his command, and eventually he lets himself be drawn into a pagan orgy outdoors around a bonfire. The others studiously avoid this and eventually make their way back to the inn. Auda has apparently taken on new psychic ties to the village. Henrik uncomfortably talks to Auda about his intentions towards Rebecca, and Auda explains in part the psychic connection that he and she have.

* '''Feb 7, 1932 -''' The group proceed to London, staying over at Carl's house in London. Henrik asks around about his patron, Cecil Becker, but he finds no evidence linking him to the occult.

* '''Feb 10, 1932 -''' The group meet with various members of a related order from Trujillo, Spain -- lead by [[TheStarsAreRight:TheoWeiss|Theo Weiss]]. The various members discussed matters of import about how they were going to proceed in protecting the world from destruction. Carl Ellis explained the diagram of correspondences, and indicated the two missing Principles of Aspiration and Consecration. They attempted to find one of these through a magical ritual, where (?) would telepathically transfer his mental image of her from a vision to Henrik, who would draw her. The ritual succeeded more than intended, and Henrik came into contact with the woman. Unable to speak, he knew only that she was somewhere in England, and that she asked him who the woman behind him was. They subsequently located the woman at an insane asylum in Cornwall. Carl's group agreed to get the woman and take her to Tibet via Spain and Cairo, where they will jump through a portal to Tibet.
