Next Session: Prelude

When we ended last evening, the Jimmy and Ben had entered the morgue room of the Boston Globe and had retrieved three articles. Due to the drive out to Miskatonic, the time spent in the hospital, and then the drive to Boston, time had been eaten away. As the Globe closed and business hours waned, the two decided to call it a day.

Prior to their departure that day, Jonathon Cheatham, Esq. had given them a hotel room to share in an upscale part of Boston. (I assume that both men will accept this gracious offer - the hotel is quite nice.) It is the Parker House in downtown Boston which has had notables such as Charles Dickens and Ralph Waldo Emerson stay within its austere walls.

That evening a phone call is placed to the lobby from Mr. Cheatham. In the morning two more men will be joining your investigation, both of whom will meet you in the hotel's lobby the following morning.

Mr. Cheatham is short on details but gives you their names and states they, like you, have a special connection to Mr. Merriweather. One is a reporter for the Boston Globe, the second is described only as a 'serious man' from abroad.

((This should dovetail into our next session when the group will be combined and all four will be present. I have the third character in my hands and the fourth will be rolled up prior to 10pm Friday. Because of Dragar's schedule, the reporter may be called away on assignment at times - accounting for his absence.))

Not sure how you guys meet up and where. If we are meeting at 9pm, obviously I'll be late. I should be there by 10pm EST at the latest. Sorry if this is an inconvenience.
