Session 2 Summary

This week the group met in its full form and the five headed to Roxbury Sanitarium to speak with the Macarios. What they found was a facility that had seen better days and a staff that cared little for the patients. Mr. Vittorio Macario was beyond help, blathering incoherently about burning eyes and telling something that they had 'gotten out.' Mrs. Macario was not much more help, stating only that evil lived in the house. Out of respect for Mrs. Macario the group ceased their line of questioning. Jimmy rummaged in the psychologist's office only to find that the two had been diagnosed with a "nervous breakdown brought about by poverty and the Great War."

Their next stop was the General Engineer's office in downtown Boston who quickly pointed them to the library across the street for any public records. There they found that the house had been built in 1835 by Rutherford Rawlings and quickly sold to a Mr. Walter Corbitt (Rev. Michael Thomas as witness). They also found evidence that the neighbor was quite unhappy with the new resident, bringing two lawsuits against him and attempting to block his will to be buried in the home's basement. (Rev Michael Thomas was the executor of the will.)

The group called it a night, despite Ben's desire to enter the home immediately. The next day the group headed to the Hall of Records to determine if any resolution had been found to either case. Both were thrown out of court and the name Michael Thomas came up again, this time in reference to the Chapel of Contemplation and our Lord Granter of Secrets. The church had closed in 1912, but there was an address - 333 Copp St.

Having charmed the clerk there, Eddie got a tip to try the central police station, advice which the group quickly complied with. There they found the police report of the 1912 incident at the church. Police investigating missing children in the neighborhood were met with gun fire. The church burned down - 3 police officers and 17 cultists died. The other 54 were arrested, among them Rev Michael Thomas.

The group deduced that Michael Thomas could have no less than 100 years old at this time. Court Records stated he died in prison.
