New page

Over breakfast, we receive a parcel of research from [[Anthony Chang]]. In addition to info we already have, he provides a transcript of a police interview that says [[Pau Wu-kung]] was last seen at [[Ho Fong|Ho Fong's]] house. The police concluded he ran away. [[Anthony Chang|Anthony]] also notes that [[The Dark Mistress]] is often seen in the harbor. He talked to someone at the docks who's seen [[The Dark Mistress]] who swears that he's seen it going 40-45 knots, even though that can't possibly be true for a wind-powered Junk.

[[Mary Elise St. Dennis|Elise]] has [[Li Wen-cheng]] pen a letter to [[Ho Fong Imports]] asking to do business.

[[Dr. Victor Lester|Victor]] and [[Jack Falcon|Jack]] go to the [[Shanghai Library]]. [[Jack Falcon|Jack]] researches the [[Esoteric Order of Dagon]], but finds nothing of interest <sup>failed check<ref name="library use" /></sup>. [[Dr. Victor Lester|Victor]] researches [[Alfred Penhurst]] and finds nothing as well <sup>successful check<ref name="library" /> reveals nothing at all</sup>.

[[Cillian Quinn|Quinn]] goes to the [[Shanghai Courier]] to talk to [[Anthony Chang]]. He provides some backstory on London and asks about the [[Pale Viper]], [[Aubrey Penhew]], [[Alfred Penhurst]], and possible connections to [[Ho Fong Imports]]. [[Anthony Chang|Anthony]] suspects that [[Ho Fong]] is involved in criminal activities, but that's pretty par for the course for imports / exports businessmen. He advises [[Cillian Quinn|Quinn]] to get hard proof before taking on [[Ho Fong]], or it could be deadly. Shipping info is questionable at best and not worth researching. They end up looking into [[Esoteric Order of Dagon]], but find nothing. [[Anthony Chang|Anthony]] has heard of [[The Order of the Bloated Woman]] - he thinks they're a gang and dismisses the legends surrounding it.

Everyone gathers back at [[Astor House Hotel]] for lunch. [[Mary Elise St. Dennis|Elise]] opens a new package from [[Madam Lin Yenyu]] and discovers it's a bible from 1611. There's a note inviting [[Mary Elise St. Dennis|Elise]] to work for her in curating and caring for her library of old books such as these. [[Jack Falcon|Jack]] has a note from the harbormaster saying that [[The Dark Mistress]] has been spotted. [[Cillian Quinn|Quinn]] and [[Dr. Victor Lester|Victor]] go to check on [[Mister Lung]] while [[Mary Elise St. Dennis|Elise]] and [[Jack Falcon|Jack]] go to the harbor.
