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. Frank finally showed up, and thankfully did not share all of his conspiracy theories at once - so Consul Ware opted to accompany the group to visit the Order of Father Fernando north of Havana. 

At the monastery, the group chased down Brother Antonio and questioned him about the Monsignor. Luther slipped away to sneak around. Annie went to the chapel and found the old jerk, Brother Simon. Three paths of inquiry...the group with Antonio dug out the first hand account of what the Monsignor had been up too, Annie eventually convinced Brother Simone to share his illicit text of the Life of Father Frenando, and Luther ran afoul of Brother Hilario. Hilario crept up on the creeping Luther and fought with him. The large Jamaican sailor was like a baby to the skinny middle aged monk and after yelling to bring help, Luther suffered having his heart ripped out the back of his body. Hilario took a bite of the fresh heart even as Ware, Wainwright, and Frank fired pistols into him (with no effect). Frank remembered his punch dagger from Trinidad and pulled it and charged, Hilario was shocked when that weapon did some serious damage...and he disappeared. 

Meanwhile, Annie found a passage that lead her to believe that father Frenando...could be Hilario? And could be still alive on the Island of Pines? 

Gathering together, the group decided to take Luther's Emerald Empress to the Isle of Pines, but first, Consul Ware arranged for a US Destroyer to meet them (in a few days). To coordinate activities, Lt Commander Andrews of the US Lardner assigned a semaphore specialist to accompany the group. Also, Aston determined that there was a "phony" archaeologist looking into the abandoned mission on the Isle of Pines, a Lady MacCeallach...

After work and class the next day, the whole party met up at the Proffessor's townhome. They charried the train out into the courtyard that evening to give it a try. Proffessor Hartford activated the train and the group watched (holding umbrellas as it was raining) as it went round and round the figure eight. Nothing seemed to be happening, yet the party presisted even while discussing that perhaps this was a dead-end. With the 26th circuit  of the train however, everything chnged. ...

House of Dust and Ash Part I of the Season Finale: False Redemption Surviving their release of the Dei-Phage (demon lord), activation of the Pax Machiana, the ravaging of Kephistron Altis, melting of the Most Holy Gilded Cathedral of Baraspine, and the discovery that the “Pope” of the Callaxian Church is, in fact, a heretic…well, let’s say our Murder Hobos have a “mixed” reputation…(although Drustos seems to have made out well enough…) It has been a month since and the Acolytes are abruptly ordered off planet.  As the adventure begins the Player Characters are transferred temporarily into the service of a shadowy and notorious figure in the Holy Ordos, Inquisitor Lady Oriantha Rathbone, on the bleak and poisonous industrialized hive world of Solomon. There is a trip on the Lamentations of the Flame Princess which allows some new artificial limb work. Littlus replaces his pipe-like robotic leg (courtesy the Dei-Phage) with the “Major Award” leg from Christmas Story…fish...

Anyway, as they got close to the new shopping area, they heard cries of pain and spotted a bearded man in black (Emerikol the Chaotic it turns out) riding down the street on a demon horse randomly killing passers by.  And calling on his winged gorhellas to kill witnesses. The patry generally ended up fighting gorhellas...except for Amar who got a good cut on the wizard before he escaped. After the fight Captain Rhal of the city watch came over to express his thanks and adk where the characters were staying...he ...
