Eugene 'The Tin Man' Caldwell's page

Did our scooby squad derail?

Yes we should but first I though I think I want to talk to the officer, perhaps if I distract him and extract information from him you all could go check out the murder scene or sneak off into the woods without being bothered.

Eugene reads the scene to know how to make it to where the murder happened.

Read a bad situation: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 2 = 7

What's the best way in, how best to get to the crime scene?

No I was unable to find any trace of this attacker's whereabouts.

If I might suggest, we have one more victim to look into. Ready to go to Walmart?

Eugene looks around for tracks of the assailant.

I'm glad my misreading of the story development allowed us to find Kyle :)

Eugene calls back to Silver, Edgard and Joe attempting to bring them over.
Man down!

Act Under Pressure: 2d6 - 1 ⇒ (4, 4) - 1 = 7

Ahh!

Eugene points at the tracks he found.
whatever made them isn't something documented to live in these woods

Investigate The Mystery: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 5) + 2 = 9

What sort of creature is it?

*BEEP*

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think we are waiting on Joe to respond to his voicemail and gather the group. Or whatever else our wizarding friend chooses to do after he hears from Silver.

I'm here

Eugene has spent the night looking into reports of reanimated corpses and has written a piece on his blog issuing concern for their unusual strength [note: nothing that mentions a who or where Eugene saw this stuff will be listed. We wouldn't want to get arrested now would we.] I'm sure Kyle will enjoy the read.

Animating corpses, attracting the cops, damn I thought these guys were professionals.

Eugene will head home and think about what they learned that night, which given our rolls was minimal. Upon learning about the Walmart incident, he will be in contact with the others about looking for clues and great deals at the store.

Can we in the autopsy room hear the officer and Silver's confrontation?

Act under pressure: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5

Chalk we need to remove chalk!

Eugene runs over to the sink I'm assuming there's one in an autopsy room and grabs an instrument bowl from the rack of clean instruments near the sink and fill it with water. Then with his bowl of water moves back the the corpse.

Here goes nothing.

Eugene pours the water over the symbols on the corpse intending for the force of the water hitting the skin to be enough force the chalk to run off the body.

Eugene wipes his mouth,

Sorry about that guys, the smell and look of the corpse together did me in. Anyone have any theories about what's going on here?

Eugene consumes the records quickly then moves over to the corpses Agent Silver had been examining.

Investigate a Mystery: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 2 = 6

Unless I get some help on my investigation is nil

Eugene searches the computer for complete records of the Dan Hurtz and Andrew Campbell autopsy and any case file info.

Additionally searching for any other people that have come through the morgue with similar causes of death to these victims.

Eugene sucks it up.
Well lets solve this before anyone else dies. Let's see about that computer.

When there's a moment Eugene moves with his invisible pals over the computer and will break in.

When Eugene, Joe, and Edgard arrive to meet the unexpected Silver.

Silver!!!!

Eugene turns to Joe.

You're working with The Man! You can't know the Bulwark's motives ergo you can't trust him.

Eugene turns back to Silver.

What the heck do you want here? Going to burn more of my stuff or just screw us over and kill us when we're done being useful to you?

So the other guy looking in on this is that kid touched by the supernatural. I guess I got to trust Joe on this one.

Eugene leads the group to a door next to the loading dock and opens his tool kit and begins to work on the lock.

I think this is an act under pressure, but if it qualifies as something that can be done without a roll ignore it.

Act Under Pressure: 2d6 - 1 ⇒ (5, 6) - 1 = 10

"The plan is, we're going to wait for one more person and then do a ritual to turn us all invisible. It's going to require us to stick together." Joe pauses for a moment then adds "How good are you at picking electronic locks? My friend said something about them having one."

I think it all depends on the electronic lock, from a computer I might be able to get something but if it's a door lock I'm not used to cracking those.

Eugene follows Joe's directions and helps him with the bags.

So Joe, what's the plan?

Eugene arrives at the morgue and texts Joe.

Where you at? I'm at the police station.

Eugene takes the paper from Joe.

Well I was just asked to leave there earlier, I may have some idea of the layout. I'll see you at dusk. Tonight I think will be interesting.

Eugene heads to the door waves at Joe then leaves returning to his apartment until sundown.

Well the internet is full of the unofficial pictures people take. This picture I'm suspecting came from the person who found the body to call it in, a police office or CSI for their personal collection. As to how I got it..

Eugene smiles.

I have my ways.

As for tonight, I suppose there's always a first time to be invisible it will certainly cut down on the "why are you hear" questions. When and where should we meet up? Who else is asking questions about bodies?

You may have heard about how Dan Harbuz died last night in the woods. I found a picture of his body at location online, his face was in utter terror. For a survivalist out in the woods in this area nothing should have given him terror, fear or panic but not terror. Then there's the oddity that it looked like the photo showed only his arms and leg muscles to have been ripped out. It's my understanding that wild animals like the guts most of all, so why settle for arms? Any case too many questions to little answer all pinging my "that's weird" radar. I need to get into the morgue to see a corpse about a real cause of death.

Really? answer the question... I guess I can explain.

It helps to be fast, it also helps to run across some hunters who decide to shoot a hybrid werewolf thinking it will make a great trophy. They were mistaken. After a lot of blood and some silver there were some dead hunters, a dead werewolf, and a great story for my blog. It appears you are not a reader. Now, want to break into a morgue?

I knew you were here because I kept up on that... you may have not known I survived that incident. Or that's at least the story I thought we discussed.

Eugene seeing Edgard come out of the Wizard's office wonders

I wonder what weird things those two were up to.

Eugene shakes it off and goes in to visit Joe. As he walks through the door he says.

Hey Joe, I got a lead on some super deep stuff, wanna help me break in to a morgue?

Eugene amuses himself with his thoughts and waits his turn.

Damn readings, he just scraping them for info... Maybe I should set up a tarot place on the other side of town but then I'd need to deal with other people problems all day... Off to see the wizard the wonderful wizard of Yorkton, no doesn't have the right ring to it.

Hmm... I need a fresh face to try and get into the morgue and would know what they're looking at. I guess I need a reading.

Eugene heads over to Joe's shop and goes in if it says open or knocks if if there's a reading in progress.

Eugene does not resist the officer. And leaves the morgue building.

I tried, no point in getting arrested

Is there any way Eugene would notice Agent Silver scoping out the morgue?

Damn people have no idea what they are dealing with and need to ask so many questions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eugene rolls his eyes and begins to gripe.
Well I don't know who made the call per se. My pain in the butt advisor Dr. Mathus said someone at the police contacted his office because they needed an expert on local animals. The Dr. being the local expect on the cultural development of the region also has an unparalleled knowledge of its wildlife. And him being the typical professor he sent his grad student instead.

Manipulate: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 1) + 2 = 5

Eugene reaches into his bag and pulls out his school ID from his studies in the Anthropology department and shows it to the office.

I never thought being an on again off again grad student would have this kind of perk.

Eugene looks at the Police officer and confidently states.
I'm a police consultant from the university. My office was contacted earlier in connection to the Harbuz case. I'm down hear to examine the remains to identify the animal the mauled him.

See, It All Fits Together: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 4) + 2 = 7

Act Under Pressure: 2d6 - 1 ⇒ (6, 4) - 1 = 9

Thanks Zaitherin, I was thinking that might be the case I just wanted to make sure my assumptions were actually how things were laid out.

Eugene moves with authority past the clerk toward the room with the bodies paying no mind to the clerk content to only stop if confronted.

Eugene follows the signs into the morgue and enters the building.

Where does that put Eugene in the building? Morgue area of the building or in the police station proper?

Eugene collects his mailbag and pulls out his trusty clip board and paper. He approaches the building reading the signage looking for the fastest route to the morgue.

Nothing like a clip board to make me seem official.

Eugene would prefer to find an entrance to the morgue from the street directly but otherwise will go through the police main entrance if needed.

After seeing the gruesome end to Dan Eugene's stomach turned a little bit and he had to hold down the coffee he was sipping with a little more force than normal.

I don't think I'll ever get used to dismemberment. How does a man that big get that scared. I guess the next stop is the morgue. Eugene thought

Eugene finished his coffee packed his laptop in his standard going out mailbag a left this apartment. Got into his sedan and drove over to the morgue.

I'm assuming the morgue is a place Eugene would know how to get to. How difficult it is to see a body on the other hand, I assume the keeper will enlighten me.

Net Friends: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 2) + 1 = 9

Eugene scours the internet for unofficial pictures of what happened around Yorkton the previous night.

Maybe I can follow Andrew's movement's via social media pictures, or the random dumb pictures people are always taking of themselves. Who wants that many images of themselves and then to put it up where everyone you know and don't know can see it. Also, Dan may have like the solitude of the woods but I wonder if whoever found him may have snapped and unofficial picture of him before they called the man out to pick him up.

Connect the Dots: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 4) + 2 = 12

This mean I get 3 holds, So how do holds work? Is a hold a pause in the game where I can interject one of the questions from my character sheet or do all the questions need to be asked at the on set?

For Edgard
The victim was a man at a local bar mistreating the woman he was with

For Agent Silver
You burned my damn map, The Tin Man almost had a map of all the black sites the Bulwark uses when they have "bag and tag" missions.

Tin Man, Edgard and Kyle

So the Cult following link could be for Edgard and Kyle assuming they know each other and the people who do follow the blog then when reality set in I'm a resource etc.

Tin Man and Joe

I like the known before thing, we could reminisce about that time with vampires, succubi, etc.. and the astonishment when realize we are talking again when something almost killed us both like a volcano eruption and neither of us was sure the other survived. (though likely with the kind of character Eugene is he would have figured out Joe is alive and would have perhaps not made it his first priority to talk to contact you, most of a character flaw than a distrust)

Thanks for putting this together

Eugene and Kyle
I'm thinking of 'The Tin Man' Blog my character has would be the kind of place the a Mundane would go to, which would be how Eugene and Kyle would know each other.

Eugene and Maxwell
Maxwell being part of an organization is automatically "The Man" And Eugene has him on his radar

Eugene and Joe
Following Inlaa's idea -> If you work with "The Man" the blogger will know and be wary of
Alternatively if Joe has been quietly combating evil Eugene might only be seeing wake of the lives saved and suspect you are more than you seem as a town psychic.

Eugene and Edgard
I'm guessing people who possess strange abilities often have incidents in there youth or when the powers manifested that would put you on the radar

If all these assumptions are true and they all these people gathered in Yorkton The Tin Man would be there.
