[Ace of Wands] Gameplay

She seems somewhat open to the idea but waffles. "I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say,"

Got a roll to convince her?

"Strictly business of course."

She lowers her voice, and says, "Janos Jupiter, the consultant? You can find him in the book. I better not say any more, but we'd be happy to assist you in your event. You have my number."

What is Glenda and Conner doing this morning? Wiki is spending the day researching, Mordecai is off-camera.

Glenda spends the day working, but during the day manages to find out that the police are saying that a minor carbon monoxide leak caused a few people to be taken to the hospital. There is no follow up, and no mention of the gruesome bloodshed, much less any explanation.

Lionheart Developments seems legit, a high end consulting company for entrepreneurial project management, with ties to some international firms that are rumoured to have less than sterling reputations. Wayerholme is spotless as far as she can tell, a small printing business located in Las Vegas, with only a placeholder internet presence that basically just has their contact information and a few promotional samples of their work.

"Thank you Jean, you're such a dear, I'll call you soon as once I firm up my proposal." Janos Jupiter. That was the next step. Esther popped downstairs to the business centre of the hotel, to use their computer to look him up.

Esther finds only a telephone number for Janos Jupiter, but the line is not in service.

Half-awake Wiki dries her mouth with her sleeve and pulls up her enhanced google earth. She zooms in on the coordinates. "Lovers Cove". She executes a command, and the satellite picture is now live footage of the area.
She pans around on her screen looking for the trapped men, that the police report mentioned.

She grabs a can of Red Bull and drains it.
Damn I hate prophecies and timey wimey wibbly wobbly - bullshit. I have no idea of witch roll is mine, the lone girl, guarding angle or the troupe of wandering heroes. I just know that ignoring prophecies can cause paradoxes

She texts Glenda, Ishtar and Connor
Do any of you know anything happening around Lake Mead?

Better be prepared this time. She checks her messenger bag, and remove ALICE from her gun safe and a slightly longer magazine with an M on the end. With the magazine inserted, it spells MALICE.

Using Google Maps as a focus, Wiki finds the spot, but interference, like glare off a mirror, interrupts her ability to discern the fine details. There is movement on the side of the cliff, as if a few people are trapped on a ledge.

Esther picked up her phone to return Wiki's message. "Hey honey, funny you should ask. That's where I think Mordy and the rest are. Lake Mead. I'm about to head out there myself. Rally the others. And get us a car with that hacking skill of yours."

No, I don't. Why? What have you heard? Should I come over?

People are both reluctant and excited to talk about the national park recreation lake. Whether stories about Girls Gone Wild style boat parties, or fourth of July fireworks shows, many Las Vegasers have gone memories. But below the mirth there are darker stories.

Lake Mead is the deadliest national park in America. Each year, several dozen people die, mostly from drowning, and the authorities begin each spring with PSA blitzes to remind people to wear lifejackets. Only, several suspect that lifejackets weren't the problem. "He always wore his."

What's under Lake Mead? All sorts of abandoned machinery and buildings. Kind of like an underwater city, 200' down, below where light can reach.

Esther also group messaged the others. "I'm going out to Lake Mead, gonna go get my Taurus. He's stuck there somehow, needs my help."

Sending a text back Conner says, Can meet you there, just be careful.
