Extra Hero
The Shade and the three black thugs nab Ben Charles in front of the
hero. If the hero tries to intervene, the Shade will delay him long
enough for the thugs to get Charles away. At the crime scene there will
be an ANA pin left behind.
Encounter 2: (Not Used)
Encounter 3: The American Negro Alliance
The ANA has a small office location with eight ANA workers, plus other
people walking in and out to do business. The workers will be helpful
and polite, though they will decline a bunch of white dudes trying to
rifle through their files. They will deny any illegal wrongdoing,
though they might (with a high Persuasion roll) mention that there are
three new guys that are kind of shady who started frequenting the
offices a few days ago.
Should the players search through the files, they'll find this note
which The Phantom Lady planted last night. "To the American Negro
Alliance: send some of your boys to kidnap Hollis Mason and Matilda
Gardner. You'll get $3000 per job and be furthering the cause. Signed,
the Mole." Anaytical Smell or Postcognition may recognize that a man
wrote this but a woman delivered it. May be able to track it down to
Mole's place (Phantom Lady stopped there first to plant his evidence).

If nothing is happening, or after
the fight, three black guys, one
bandaged on his left hand, another bandaged on the right side of his
face, enter the ANA office. Characters can try to question them. If
done politely the ANA staff will support the characters against the new
guys. Assuming the thugs are captured they can be interrogated OV/RV
2/2 (+1 CS if ANA is still siding with the thugs.
- 1 RAP (): "Some guy named the Mole hired us to do it!"
- 2 RAPs (): "He told us to frequent the ANA offices to
throw blame on them."
- 4 RAPs (): "Mole lives at 575 Fifth Avenue."
Once the characters decide to visit the Mole, proceed to encounter 5.
Encounter 4: Follow Newton Ramsey
Timeline Newton goes to a seedy part of town to meet with the Mole. The
Shade shoots and kills Newton.
Should the Shade be captured (highly unlikely), he can be interrogated
by Riff. INFL/AURA 5/4 vs OV/RV 9/7.
- 1 RAP (21): "I was hired by the Mole to kill this
guy."
- 4 RAPs (28): "The Mole lives at 575 Fifth Avenue."
- 7 RAPs (40): "The Mole answers to Moloch."
Searching Newton's body (INT/WILL vs OV/RV 2/2, Riff needs 4, Rad needs
5) reveals a slip of paper: "The Mole - 575 Fifth Avenue."
Should the heroes visit the Mole, proceed to Encounter 5. Should the
players want to talk to Moloch, proceed to Encounter 7.
