Session 22 Notes

General Summary

  • We hit a cafe, get some lunch, and then head back to the Hotel Chelsea to check out the documents and stuff.
 
  • We try to heat up some stuff to try and reveal anything that may have been written in lemon juice. Unfortunately, there is nothing hidden on any of the documents. This does prompt both Cillian and Doc to do the same thing to the documents Elias sent them.        
 
  • John calls the operator who is unable to find a lantern street or a stumbling tiger in NYC.
 
  • We head to the library Monday morning to research some of the things that we want to look into.  
    • Cillian and Boris research news paper clippings of the other murders.  
      • We don't find much.
       
     
    • John wants to look at city maps to try and find a lantern street.  
      • John does not find a Lantern street, but is able to orient himself well in NYC now, because of those maps.
       
      • Doc asks a taxi driver about Lantern Street and he doesn't know where it is either.
       
 
  • We ultimately end up taking a taxi up to the lawyer's office for the reading of the will.    
    • Willa Sligh is in the office and leads us in to speak with Ramsey
     
    • Carlton Ramsey starts reading the the will and then begins to tell us about what Jackson Elias' last wishes were:  
      • There was a specific fund that he was supposed to be set up for a specific purpose and during all of this he mentions all 8 people who were in Peru, as well as some other names that we don't recognize.  
       
      • Jackson was in the office speaking with Willa and setting everything up the day before he died.  
 
  • Ramsey asks that we sign a form that says we agree to continue the investigation and abide by the terms of the will.      
    • Ramsey tells us that there is $50,000 dollars in the trust.
     
    • He also opens a small box and inside is the damn mask that caused the nightmares in both Boris an Nigel in peru.

      Keeper Note:

      (See Strange Vision - First Vision in Lima and Strange Vision - Second Vision in Lima.)  
      • Ramsey doesn't seem to react at all to the shiny side of the Strange Face and so Cillian just grabs up the mask and looks in the shiny side.
         
        • Cillian sees a small man that is squatting in the corner painting something.
         
        • Cillian realizes he is riding a train and he can see the sweeping vista of the aftrican plains are passing by.
         
        • He begins to hear people screaming and the heat and smoke are washing down the train over everyone.
         
        • Suddenly he is stading in the dark in a cemetery and he sees a tombstone for Mickey.
         
        • Turning from the grave he sees a the moon darken out as tentacles obscure the sky and reach down from the heavens to the earth.
       
      • Cillian tries to convince Ramsey to lock the mask up and not let anyone do anything with it.
 
  • For next session:  
    • Refer to to do list.

Where There's a Will, There's a Way

 
Pleasure to me is wonder—the unexplored, the unexpected, the thing that is hidden and the changeless thing that lurks behind superficial mutability. To trace the remote in the immediate; the eternal in the ephemeral; the past in the present; the infinite in the finite; these are to me the springs of delight and beauty.
