Session 8 - 16th March 2025

In-game date: 11th November 1934

Notes by: Michael

1: Discussions

Discussing what to do, Robert and Mikhail would be meeting the Pi soon, their meeting being at 2 pm. Leaving them all some spots to plan. Discussing going to the auction home and meeting George Ayer they quickly learn that the magnificent Villa auction home was the same address as Buchwald. Discussing this revelation they decided on two points of strategy. Seeing if they would all visit the PI or would they split up and check the Magnificent Villa. Met with a female voice they arranged a meeting with them at 4 pm the same day. After talking they discuss focusing on the Pi first. With Ralph talking about how dangerous A Pi could be. Michael asked if he is ever restless as he had mentioned it before.

2: Scouting/meeting the PI

After deciding to go all together to meet the Pi, they headed out early to scout the building. Taking there place in a Cafe across from the building they kept an eye on the building. Which a hour earlier than the meeting is to take place they found themselves seeing Pi, Jack Pizner. Making their way to their office. Seven stories up. Planning out their moves. They decided to cover the routes of escape. With Ralph covering the fire exit, Nolan in his car, and Michael in the main lobby. While Mikhail, Robert, and William head to meet with the Pi. Meeting Jack Pizner the group gives their fake name as they start to learn about what he does. This comes relatively easily from the group who noticing that their gun was in the holster still they start to lie about what they need. Making a story about needing to trust someone. They quickly drop the act as the Pi start to talk about who they actually are. Though guessing their names wrong they start to talk about how their client would not wish to have things undisturbed. Before which the group had threatened him. But when asked about if his employers were George Ayer or Buchwald. They learn that it was in fact neither of them. Giving interest into who this client could have been. Mikhail drawing his gun told him to move away from the safe. Robert moved to see inside the safe after Pizner said he couldn’t they found it had in fact held an envelope and grabbing it they placed the envelope on the table in front of the group using it basically to say they should leave and being paid off to do so. Threatening the party after they tossed the envelope back the party would instead try to convince them otherwise. Heckling with the Pi they learned that the envelope held 1000 dollars which they said they could tell the name of them and hire them. Which they would need to pay twice as much to do so. Which they learned the name of the man who hired him. That being Captain Walker. Who was under Mr Samson Trammel in pasadena. Opening a drawer, the Pi pulls out a piece of paper which passing them to the group holds their names and descriptions of them all. Getting the address of Captain Walker. Leaving the office they talked with Ralph Hass and gave the information about it. Explaining what the Pi was like. Ultimately concluding that he was a dick.

3: Next plans.

Making their way out the group decides to split up. With Robert, Michael, and Nolan making their way to the Villa auctions and Mikhail, Ralph and William making their way to the Library and to the Police station afterward. Looking through the Library Ralph Mikhail and William made their way to find anything on Captain Walker. Rather than finding nothing much on them, though they did find the house plans for his house instead.

Moving forward with Robert Michael and Nolan. They found themselves in a similar building where they had met The Pi in. Nolan made sure they had a couple of escape routes if anything went wrong. Moved into the office after finding it. They met a Robert Spencer. Meeting them they started to talk. Checking that this is a proper place of work which seemed to be the case. However, they did ask about seeing if there were any books that they held. Learning that the books were sold off to someone else.

Heading to the police station Mikhail would talk to their contact and quickly learn that Walker had people in the police station. Who seemed to make the groups work harder. Though the contact would mention that Walker could possibly move drugs, but also that they possibly were a user as well. But giving information to Walker, Mikhail did talk about something of a drug bust if they did so but they did say that the worry about police now coming and knowing what was up was a certainty.

Making their way to the second floor they meet with Buchwald. Though making their way to meet him they said they needed more under-the-table help which they got a stern no. After dropping the name of Enchiverra and his code name he turned pale and started to spill the beans on what he had done. Explaining what happened they learned that he had been selling the drug, finding it to be a know-a-guy kind of deal rather than from cornersides. A door-to-door get-through a friend of a friend.
