<afk till tomorrow, assume I do whatever a sex pest police murder investigator from baltimore would do>

 

[Mabs]

the police officers grudingly tell you what they know, that it was handled by the state motor patrol and they are based on Springfield, so you should probably go and see them for more info, the only local bit of information was he passed through here , presumably to meet a friend or maybe visiting the embassy, and rented a car before leaving town

 

[Nate]

Go to the car rental firm they mentioned and ask questions about Mr Dale Plunckett the French Guy about 8 weeks ago

What day he rented
What car he rented
How he seemed, mentally/physically?
Was he in hurry?
How was he dressed, etc.

Also mention how we're interested in renting, as an incentive for this information.

Poag my good fellow ... shall we proceed to the embassy?

 

[Mabs]

After some investigation you discover that he rented his car from Banks Autos, owned by Paul Banks. You discover that there are 3 rental companies in Boston. The car he hired was a 1920 Pierce Arrow. They know he is dead, and the car was never recovered. He seemed fine if in something of a hurry. He was dressed normally. He paid cash which isnt unusual, $100 deposit, and $10/day. Apparently the insurance company dont think the car was worth $500, and with no sign of it, are unsure if they want to pay up.

Poag my good fellow ... shall we proceed to the embassy?

Sounds like a plan.

<what do you wish to ask the nice people at the embassy ? >

 

[Nate]

So we've answered one of the two questions our benefactor asked.

How he got there: Rented car 1920 Pierce Arrow from Banks Autos.

[Mabs]

they look at you slightly oddly, then attempt some sort of conversation , in what you assume is french, but arent sure
<visitors book isnt somewhre you can browse it >

I think we've learnt all we can here guys and should move onto Dunwich.

Go over to the rental firms, inquire about their rentals. Slip into conversation an inquiry about Dunwich town.
