++++ Regroup |
We head back to our hotel.

We read through the books we got from the antique store.
  * Ledgers
  * Book about Templars

Mentioned in Ledgers:
  * The Book of Avon (but titled in French)
    * 15th century occult grimoire
    * Author used magic to save Lyon from attack.
    * We don't have a copy
  * Cult of the Ghoul
    * We have a copy

BTW, we went to the shop because a note indicated that the Bronze Head was appraised there.

Checking Ledger for records of appraisals:
There is one for the head.  

We got a note earlier from the shopkeeper to Hautpool saying the head is from the 13th century and will allow them to open the gates to hell.

Maybe check if there are any more warehouses in Marseilles.  It's Sunday, have to wait until they open on Monday.

++++ Back to the Shop |
They wake me back up.
Get in loser, we're going back to the shop.

MrJolly picks the lock.  We're in!

We search for stuff, find some things.

RipperGeorge finds a trapdoor!
++++

++++ Under the shop |
Yeah, sure seems like a ritual place.  Manacles on walls, lots of bbq sauce and ashes/bones.

Make that child bones.

We gather the remains and prepare to take them somewhere for proper burial.

We head back

++++ County Records Office |
Next day I go and find a warehouse owned by Haptpool.

++++ The Warehouse |
RipperGeorge goes to case the joint.

I guess we all go.  I try to look in the windows.

MrJolly notices someone watching us.

RipperGeorge goes into an ally, someone follows him, then MrJolly follows.  I think he means to do something to them.

He knocks him out.  It's the worker from out front!

We wake him up and I ask him some questions.

  * where is the gate
    * In the tower in the village
  * When
    * When the stars are right
  * Who is conducting the ritual
    * Bites his tongue
  * Who shot the antique dealer

RipperGeorge stabs him to death!

++++ Planning |
We got a book earlier with some sort of occult notes. We realize it might be related to the date.

June 13th, in about 2 weeks.
++++

++++ Breaking & Entering |
We sneak back to the Warehouse.
RipperGeorge sneaks on to the roof, finds an access.
LadyLeota flies up.
The rest of us sneak up and climb up.

LadyLeota down inside.

Tells us what she sees: There are people opening crates inside.  Lots of children with bowls of gruel.  They appear drugged or sleepy.  We smell something like opium.

We try to sneak in, but they catch us!
