Hans Phone Call

We open with a phone call with Hans.

• Mention Magnum Opus
• Mention Alona Wainright
• Emphasize that we think the GB witch is in over their head
• Hans sees us as his “Last Best Hope” (tag - 3)
• “Scary uptight bitch” — a lot of money, connections
• Even Rachel's afraid of Magnum Opus
• Hans comes to meet us at London's house in the Old Quarter for some scheming.

Alona Wainright

• The Alchemy of the Soul manuscript was a fake — identified by Alona Wainright.
• She’s a lawyer — very wealthy
• Known art collector
• Seems to always be one step ahead of the game (right place, right time)
• Has an office at Wainright Auctioneers in the Old Quarter

The Plan

• Hans will come with us to get us in to the factory since he's on the "allow list".
• Original plan was to fake Rachel going through the furnace, but we don't have a powerless person willing to take that on.
• Haimer has agreed to help Hans and Rachel disappear once we get them out, even though she can't go in with us.
• So now we just grab Rachel and GTFO.
• She's never going to go along with this, so Hans says we'll probably have to tie her up/knock her out/something, and he promises he wont' hate us for it.
• We put Geoffrey in charge of the Rift of the GB witch once we get a hold of it.
• We have a +2 "CAT-astrophe" tag to use the Sorcerer's Apprentice rift with Schrödinger's Cat.
• At minimum, we get everyone out and Geoffrey (as the GB witch) collapses the enclave.

The Bones

• Deconstructed Veves — voodoo symbols of Loa; need several of them together to make one symbol
• The Loa are a synchronization of a Catholic Saint + a Uroba Gods (west african) — Mme Brigitte, Papa Lega, etc — each god has their own Veves.
• Usually drawn on the floor in cornmeal, but instead we can create a talisman for a specific Loa using these bones.
• (We haven't done anything with these yet.)
