Masquerade wants us to investigate a meeting happening on Reich.
Some major players at the meeting, including Colonel Ishii, The Biologian, a transuranian, Captain Tanaka, ...
Known location of the meeting is at the Island of Meroë (not actually an island) on Reich on such and such a date.
Being a big gathering of bad guys they are bound to be up to no good

We do some very basic planning. Primarily we will be an Italian family on holiday, Mario (father), Dellith (mother), Clem (child) and we have disguises to match. Also have servant guises provided in case we want to infiltrate a catered meeting. Other than that, we are off
Note to self after the fact: Perhaps we should have thought more about how to communicate any info we find out back to interested parties in a timely manner, and also how we we are to get home

Masquerade gets us to western seaboard of America, can't remember how. He has allies there who can assist us. We meet an elf by the name of the Widow Click. She provides us with some grenadoes and tommy guns. Mario inspects her etchings.
We are flown to the city of Monrovia on the western coast of Africa. We make our own way across country via various means of personal flight. Close by to the destination we decide to try our hand at robbery to expand our available cash float. The night time infiltration and cleaning out of a jewelery store is spectacularly successful, except for the bit where we neglected to check for traps on entering, triggered a silent alarm, and guards with tommy guns arrived just as we were leaving. Carnage ensues and we only just manage to get clear

We take many days to lick our various wounds and heal up enough to move on. This time was spent in the jungle so keeping infection free and avoiding all manner of biting things of various sizes was a minor miracle
As we were flying over the jungle on our next leg of travel, we encountered a flying device with multiple people onboard. It changed course to investigate us so we had to take various types of evasive action to get out of sight. Eventually it flew off and we continued.

Finally arrive at our destination, clean ourselves up, get into character, and check in at a large hotel. We are given a suite, and also can see that a convention is on. Using various means we ascertain:

Most of the known parties are either staying in the same hotel or nearby

There is a major event planned and it will be happening soon (see note above regarding no lines of communication, meaning we need to deal with this ourselves!)

Part of the major event is a large death event. We suspect this could involve a large number of the convention attendees. (note to self, check the rugs and furnishings etc for signs of tampering)

A sacrifice has arrived in the last few days. While sacrifice and death event seem similar, they sound seperate. It just so happens that we encounter Beauty in the lobby of the hotel a couple of days in, could she be the sacrifice? (note to self, Masquerade seeks Beauty. He finds her every so often, in an immortal sense, has a few years with her, then tragically loses her. I wonder how long since their last tryst?)

Galvinism is noted as part of things

Captain Tanaka hates Colonel Ishii and would like nothing better than to cut him in half, but is held back by obligation (note to self - could he be someone we could find a way to work within his obligations while helping achieve his inner desires?)

There is at least one transuranian in the hotel. Mister Wulf could fit this bill, or there may be others. Definitely need to be careful on ESP and Telepathy as they are psychics and tried to track Mario

Captain Tanaka has some tasks to achieve, forgot the details, and another meeting coming up which we should try and attend in some fashion

At this point we have limited information and need to add more details (I would normally use the words "flesh out" here, but deemed it inappropriate given the presence of the Colonel). Do we have any possible allies? Captain Tanaka? Underground resistance of some sort (remnants of the Allies)?

More to come...,..
