Synopsis:

Game World Date: Wednesday Dec 21, 1921 - Evening

 

Each of the investigators received an invitation to dinner at the house of Zoran Reul in the fancy part of St. Paul. Isaac was the first to show up at about 5 o'clock, followed by Jacob, Ash, Jonah, the others and Arzt VonPayne last at just after 8 o'clock. Drinks and Hores De Overs were had and light conversation was made in his huge withdrawing room.

 

The party moved into the dining room just as Arze VonPayne showed up goose-stepping. Over the five course meal, the party goers slowly broached the subject of why they were here. Zoran answered evasively, saying he was a traveler and that he had lost a box. Come the seventh course, he laid his entire story bare. He was from another world, and he was going to do a ritual and use a map so that we could get there. He needed us to do this for him because he thought we were the sort of people that could get it done and return to him his lost box which he left on another world before coming here. Yes it did indeed sound farfetched. But he said he would prepare for the ritual if all would agree, which they did after a few points were stipulated. Zoran explained that it would commence at exactly 3 o'clock in the morning, which was the exact winter solstace. So everyone took the time to nap, smoke a few cigars, or have some more drinks.

 

Beginning at exactly 3 o'clock in the morning Zoran began his ritual which first made glowing sigils and symbols appear on the walls of his study, then the walls burst into flame and the room became increasingly hot and humid though the building was not consumed.

 

Moments later, the burning stopped and he was locked in rigid concentration. One of the party went to the door and opened it, to see a world that was not their own. Freak out and panic followed, as Jonah saw an angel of the lord and fell to his knees screaming. One person had an orb which let them see a red dot on a map for where they were and a yellow dot for something else, which they presumed would be their destination. So the adventurers set out after some sedatives were administered towards the yellow dot. This unknown city was strange and surreal and beautiful. The sky scrapers were tall and fully metalic with a sheen of polished chrome. They had no doors or windows, as presumably angels don't need such things.

 

Arriving at their destination, a four armed metal man at the door would not admit them into the building, but some dodging and guile got several members through. Inside they found the box that Zoran was asking for and attempted to leave. Again the four armed metal man would not grant their exit, so they divested the box of its contents and pocketing them, they beguiled the guardian and exited. This caused the guardian to begin emitting warning sounds and the party sped their escape. But flying chariots and men in centurion armor penned them into a street. A few shots were exchanged, but a door was found into the building. So the investigators ducked into the building, and left their persuers behind.

 

Managing to make it back to the original room with Zoran took a great deal of running, but all made it back. Zoran was shaken, breaking his concentration, interrupting the ritual presumably, and he then slumped to the floor. He had no pulse when checked.

 

The police were called, a wicked sham was posited, and the investigators were willed various things by Mr. Zoran, thus concluding the nights adventures.
