Session 2 (5) - Reawakening

by Bartholomew Livingstone

January 20th, 1925
 
I drag myself in to the prospero press office in the midst of the snowstorm. Memory hazy, a splitting headache. What was I doing before I woke up in that bar? Investigating the Carlyle manor... what happened after that? How could I have forgotten so easily?
 
Several new faces are present in the office, but they are people I've seen before: Charlie, Florence and Hans, who I remember from a couple of years back in mexico. Elizabeth Winters is here, but the others - Ed and Joseph - seem to have gotten lost.
 
Jonah Kensington suggests we all collaborate on what we remember from our investigation so far.
We had been trying to figure out what Jackson Elias had been doing this past year before he died. We have a collection of newspaper clippings and notes from Jackson.
Florence reveals that she was able to sneak a look at Jackson's hotel room after the murder, and it was bloody, but she didn't notice if anything was missing at the time.
Jonah Kensington mentions that Jackson attended a lecture, and was interested in a book about africa. He digs up some correspondence with a Miriam Atwright, from Harvard, regarding the book.
 
After a lengthy discussion, we have several leads:
Jackson's research, including the book from harvard
the negro men who we have encountered, and the african cult they may be linked to
the carlyle's stolen african artifacts, and the african shop in Harlen
a captured thug at the police station - one of the men who jumped us.
the carlyle's estate and Roger's occult collection
the laywer Bradley Grey and the psychiatrist's notes on Roger Carlyle
find out what happened to Ed and Joseph.
