Examine the purchased books with the orb of the Red Scholar in attendance.  Did I find anything interesting occult-wise?

Spoiler: Sean O'Malley (click to show/hide)

Name: Sean O'Malley, Phd.
Appearance: A trim, short man in his mid-40s, with a jovial expression and short reddish-brown hair.
Backstory: After completing his doctorate in Philosophy, he found his life unexpectedly limited after promoting some rather nonstandard views, after discovering and investigating some minor secrets.  His position was since removed, and he no longer commands the respect he once had among his peers.

Well, the night club isn't a total bust. It'll be expensive to own, but we'll have enough space to do as we please.

Take another bus back to my (shitty)apartment and pick up some magazines, and a icebox with some beers in it.  Then, take a second bus back to the abandoned building our cult is hiding out in.

Spoiler: Lance Robbins (click to show/hide)

Name: Lance Robbins
Appearance: Bruised and batter, a shaved head, a smile like a serial killer, he's nearly the text book definition of "thug"
Backstory: Lance grow up in household with lower expectations, and managed to not even reach that. He spent his years boozing, smoking, and brawling his time away. He overheard a drunk in the alley talking about type of "ritual thing" and decided to check it out. Not as if he has anything better to do with his life.

"Screw those other guys. We gotta get in on this right now." Helen said as she set her camera on the counter so that it points at her.
"And the best way to do this..." she added as she run back to stand next to her gal pal.
"Is with a montage!" she concluded, pointing at the camera and winking.

This place is awesome! We'll take it! Contact the others and tell them we're turning it into our temple and they should come help. Then rent this place and start turning it into our temple. And since this is the 80s, the best way to do that is with a montage!

Edit: Dev is worried I'll decide our temple single-handedly, so don't actually do that. Just start preparing to turn this place into a temple. Do NOT turn this place into a temple just yet.

Spoiler: Helen "The Recorder" (click to show/hide)

Name: Helen Hywater, though she insists on calling herself "The Recorder" during cult related activities
Appearance: A young girl with short dark hair and green eyes. Tends to wear a dark brown trenchcoat and fedora during cult related activities to avoid suspicion.
Backstory: Has a fascination with recording stuff for posterity and specifically cameras. Makes her way through life doing odd jobs and videotaping things, sometimes things she probably shouldn't record. She's even managed to make some short films. She's a bit weird and she knows it but she doesn't care. As for why she's with the cult, she mostly just wants to record stuff and then sell them for fame and loads of momey. Maybe she can make the world's first real found footage film.

"By the way, Alexander, was it? From the look of you, you used to be an army man. How's your aim?"

Alexander smiles and nods affirmitive before replying. "Cpl. Alexander Sill, 82nd Airborne. Medical discharge after Urgent Fury. You?" He shrugs. "And not bad, though it's been a while, and I wouldn't exactly call myself a crack shot."

Yeah, let's check out the back rooms, then perhaps take a closer look at the pulpit. "Either of you have any idea what could have done that?"

Spoiler: Alexander Sill (click to show/hide)

Name: Alexander Sill
Appearance: A well-built man in his late thirties, who walks with a slight limp.
Backstory: A career soldier, though that career was brought to an abrupt end after the invasion of Grenada left him discharged with a shiny medal and a leg wound which will probably never fully heal. Since then he has struggled along, through a series of short-lived, dead-end jobs, searching for a new purpose in life. He now seems to have found one.

Use my point of favor in Possessions, leveling it up to 1d12. Try to use my "Possessions" and find a book that has the sigil of the Scholar.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Micolash Cage
Appearance: A man with messy curly black hair and an eternal grin on his face.
Backstory: He used to work as a librarian, in which he found a book about the occult, and decided to join a cult for fun and knowledge. Fascinated in learning and gaining insight of the world and the cosmos.

Alexander smiles and nods affirmitive before replying. "Cpl. Alexander Sill, 82nd Airborne. Medical discharge after Urgent Fury. You?" He shrugs. "And not bad, though it's been a while, and I wouldn't exactly call myself a crack shot."

"Gunnery sergeant Murphy, 1st marine division. Medical discharge after I got caught by Charlie and they beat me into uselessness. I tell ya son, never understimate a tiny asian man in a funny hat.

Anyway, my hands aren't what they used to be.Why don't you hold on to my old shotgun, just in case?"

Hand over my shotgun (Remington 870, shortened barrel, pistol grip, loaded) and the handful of shotgun shells to Alexander. Then join him into checking the back rooms, shining the flashlight so we can see what we're doing. Keep my eyes open for basements or otherwise hidden (trap)doors.

Spoiler: Walton J. Murphy (click to show/hide)

Name: Walton J. Murphy
Appearance: A man of 64 years old. Walton sports a bald head and a grey beard. Not as fit as he used to be. His body is marked with a variety of scars.
Backstory: Walton joined the military when he was 18 years old in 1939, just in time for WWII to ramp up. He has since served in the pacific theater in WWII, the Korean war, and the Vietnam war. It was in 'Nam where he was gravely wounded for the last time, effectively ending his military career. He currently works a desk job for the local government, a fact that does not particularely please him.

He's been in a world war, a cold war, a drug war and a gang war. Now, seeing the appalling amount of respect veterans get from younger generations, he's decided that he wants to add a holy war onto his résumé.

Anyway, my hands aren't what they used to be. Why don't you hold on to my old shotgun, just in case?"

"Sure thing; I'll take good care of it. Do you want to carry the flashlight, then?"

((Shotgun added to inventory in previous post))

[Pancaek]

"Sure thing; I'll take good care of it. Do you want to carry the flashlight, then?"

"Yeah, that'd be swell."

((added flashlight to previous post))

[Devastator]

"Easy Helen.  Lets at least let the others come back first.  That does sound pretty good, though."

[Parisbre56]

"Easy Helen.  Lets at least let the others come back first.  That does sound pretty good, though."

"B-b-but..." Helen complained, raising her arms in frustration.
"Montage!" she exclaimed, as if that explained everything.

((Don't worry, I'm pretty sure that action will fail. And if it doesn't, hey, free temple. The more the merrier.))

[Devastator]

((I'll go with anywhere, I just don't want it to be one person deciding it via cutscene powers.  Probably vote for one when everyone is done investigating.))

[Pavellius]

Could I still join?

[Parisbre56]

((I'll go with anywhere, I just don't want it to be one person deciding it via cutscene powers.  Probably vote for one when everyone is done investigating.))

((Again, I don't think that's likely to happen and I don't think we're limited to only 1 temple, so I don't think it would be a bad thing if I somehow did turn it into a temple single-handedly. Still, there's no hurry, so I'll just edit my action to be on the safe side.))

[Sir Elventide]

"He's right, Helen. Eventually, we will need to vote on which place to set up the temple. Whatever place that gets selected will be where the Scholar will rest and the other places will be used as fallback assuming they are still available. In the meantime, let's price this place and check on the others."

After dealing with Helen's antics, go inquire about the rent and utilities for the place. After that, go check on the others, starting with the New Age shop.

Spoiler: Alexis L. Cromwald (click to show/hide)

Name: Alexis Ledbetter Cromwald

Appearance: Early thirties. Comely appearance and figure. Back-length curly blond hair. Coppery eyes. Wears an apron with pockets on the front.

Backstory: A former teacher who is the housewife of a domineering businessman, Alexis oftentimes fantasized about dealing with her husband Michael in brutal but creative ways. However, murder is social suicide in the age of improved forensics and profiling and divorce is out of the question as her husband provides her 'income' in the form of allowances. However, her chance encounter with the darkest mysteries of the world may very well give Alexis the power she craves... or it could send her plunging into a fate much worse than slaving to her idiotic brute of a husband.
