The PC's in my Lost Worlds campaign were swept off Earth through another geometrically shaped oddity the New Jersey Parallelogram. So I definately have to think about adding Nazis with a Zeppelin.

Narratio Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Re: Pulparize It! "Poppins? Poppins, hmmm. Yeah, I remember the broad. What a piece of work she was. Had this English Nanny scam down by the Park. Used to get taken on to look after rich folks kids. Really she was casing the joint see? Then she and Benny the Moose would rip the place off. Made a mint!" .. "Hmm? Benny? He was a low life hood, did a few stints on the Island, last was 3 to 5 for a bank heist, he was the driver. I caught him illegally parked while waiting for the goons to leave the bank. I tell you, his career, since he left the Poppins Dame, has all been down hill! I got a commendation for that one as well." .. "Poppins? Mary was her name. Liked to call herself Marie. Came from down in the Kitchen. Her Ma was a street hooker for Blue Lou Marino. She was on her way when Father Marco, you remember him? Used to run the little league out of the Y? Well the Father didn't want her to go the bad eh? So he got her a small job looking after the kids at Sunday school. She took to it like a fish to water… not the bay’s water though eh? Anyway. She went Saint Mary’s over on 12th, got good grades, everything going fine, then she met this guy, what was his name… Bert! That was it. Bert something. Ran a chimney sweeping business.” .. “What? Oh yeah, we had lots of chimneys then, not so many now, but his clients were the rich out on nob hill. Huge fireplaces, easy for a man to climb down. So he was doing small time snatches while cleaning chimneys. But what he needed was to get somebody on the inside. Somebody who could tell him where the best stuff was right?” .. “Yeah, so that’s where little Mary comes in. She fakes a resume and gets hired by this rich family, The Banks… George and… I forget her. Anyway George banks was big in Mutual Fidelity. Had a bunch of cash always lying around in his draw and he through big parties. So Mary and Bert used this as their way into high society. They ripped off the Bank’s for about $97,000. She left soon after, saying she had a calling to some other set of kids.” .. “Oh sure, the kids saw the entire robbery. But it seems that they’d been sneaking their Ma’s Laudanum. So they weren’t exactly credible you know? Anyway, she moved on to the next family. She and Bert were okay for about 5 years. Then a heist went sour. Home of some Dent guy. Hang on, I’ve got an old note book here…” .. “Oh yeah, I keep all of them. Okay here it is, Home of Lester Dent. Seems he was playing poker with some old pals… Lamont Cranston, Kit Walker, Richard Wentworth and a Jethro Dumont, newly arrived from somewhere in Asia. Anyway, it seems Bert came down the chimney and walked straight into a group of men who all packed guns. Well, he didn’t make it and poor Mary went to the slammer for 5 years. That was the beginning of it all.” .. “Okay, well, I glad I’ve helped you. Us old timers don’t get many visitors you know. If you need more, drop by any time!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During their investigation, Lady Holladay's martial arts using female bodyguard is framed for the theft.
