Brother Hilario...not so funny. (Servant of God (Cuba) Episode 2) [Call of Cthulhu, Jazz Age]

The Cast: Frank - Conspiracy Theorist Annie - Sensationalist Reporter Luther - Jamaican Ship Captain Aston Wainwright - Brit Archaeologist  Consul William Ware - US Embassy political appointee The group started out heading to the US Consulate with Luther helping the shaken Annie - still upset from the more than creepy events of last episode. They had decided that after finding some of the unsettling aspects of the case (heart ripped out, seeming immortal artist Hilario, etc) that it was time to brief at least one of the group's employers (the US Government). Hence, they met Consul Ware, who interrogated them about the whole death of the Monsignor and the odd goings on.

Father Andrej's plan was to sneak into Castle Hammerstein (he had an inside woman who would let him and the partisans in) and then free the children. Clifton and Mr. Phillips were pretty sure that he was nuts and wanted to try to ...

Senor, you MUST sign the book! (Servant of God, Episode 1)

The Cast: John as Luthor, Jamaican ship captain Kathy as Annie, Sensationalist Reporter Jason as Aston Wainwright, Archeologist Annie and Luthor were enjoying the sights of Havana when contacted by a O'Neil Williams from the US Consulate. He asked Annie over drinks to look into the strange death of the Monsignor Valdez, a Church of Rome official who had been in Cuba for perhaps a month as a investigator into the proposed Sainthood of a Father Fernandez - a former Inquisitor who had established a Monastic Order in Cuba in the 1570s. At the same time, archaeologist Professor Aston Wainwright. also in Havana, was asked by the Catholic Church to look into the murder of Msr. Valdez. The three combined efforts and after a briefing by Monsignor de Borbon about what had happened to Valdez - locked room mystery, desiccated body, heart removed, they went to the scene of the crime.  The body had been removed, but that was all, and outside the room a small shrine (candles and rosary) ha...
