The Well of All Fear - Regency Cthulhu RPG Actual Play - Part 4

A Regency Call of Cthulhu RPG Actual Play. When Mr Millwood, cad-about-town and local ne’er-do-well, goes missing in April 1813, his young sister has the most to lose. Miss Millwood’s fear for her brother is only exacerbated by her own terror; if he were found dead, the family estate would be inherited by a distant relative, leaving the unmarried Miss Millwood destitute.The group arranged to meet with the organizer of the Spring Ball and leader of the Buxton Ladies Horticultural Society, Mrs. Huntley. They also got to meet her 2 adult children, including Spencer, a shy young man with a interest in plants and natural philosophy. As a gift he gave Penelope and Elaine 2 blue vials that would make them feel better. After seeing Huntley Hall, the group went to the local constable and learned about how a man goes missing every year around this time. They also initially suspect the constable of being the "D.F" mentioned in Mr Millwoods notes but he points out this most likely refers to Darren Fife, the local tough and owner of a disreputable gaming den at the Graves Hotel. After gambling in the Assembly Rooms at The Crescent, Ernie and Nigel are given a tip from a dealer that if they want to make real money, the graves hotel has a secret gambling den and he gives them the passcode to get inside. The dealer also drops some gossip that apparently Mr Millwood bet and lost his sister's innocence to the vile Sir Culverton. The day done, the group discuss who would want to go to the Graves tonight to learn more about Mr. Millwood's actions on the night he was last seen.This is part 4 of 6.
