The party began their day by heading to LuDoux’s warehouse (Beaver Pelt Trading Co.)
- Relling and Matis had told the party about LuDoux’s background, and the name of his business
- To find the specific address, the party asked locals until they found a dockworker who pointed them in the right direction
- Two members of the party (Josiah & Haywood?) entered the warehouse, while the other two waited nearby
- The party members feigned an air of confidence, and approached the administrative office of the warehouse
- The party members asked for LuDoux, and were granted an audience
- The party members told LuDoux that they were looking for James, in order to settle a score with him
- LuDoux told them that he didn’t know James’ whereabouts, but said James had been “dealt with”, and would give them no further trouble
- Having probed for sufficient information, the party members left the warehouse
The party split into two groups to continue the day, planning to regroup at James’ university in the early afternoon
- Eddie & Livingston attempted to find the address of James’ address
- The party members searched town hall for records of James’ residence, but came up empty
- The party members left town hall early to search for more info at the University
- They tried to get back into James’ office, but found it locked
- They failed to pick the lock discretely
- The party members eventually spoke to an administrative secretary, who was happy to tell them the address
- Josiah & Haywood went to find the Grover Ave. manor house shown on the newspaper clipping found in James’ office
- The party members travelled across town until they found the street, then travelled along it until they found a building matching the photo
- The manor was in a less-developed stretch of the area, set back from the road, surrounded by vegetation and no other homes
- From the street, the party members spotted two men (ostensibly guards) lounging on the porch, and decided to approach them
- As the party members walked up to the porch, one of the guards rose to meet them halfway
- The guard from the porch asked the party members if he could help them
- Josiah claimed his father had been a resident of the group home decades ago
- The porch guard cryptically responded by asking if Josiah knew “the Priest”
- Josiah claimed that he didn’t know much about the Priest, but that his father had said they could “have a good time” at the home
- Having perceived little cause for suspicion, the guard told Josiah that he could join by returning at 6 o’clock the following evening
- Josiah asked if his companions could also join him, and the guard obliged
- As Josiah spoke with one of the guards, Haywoord noticed that the other guard (who stayed on the porch) appeared to be strung-out
The party regrouped at the University as planned, and exchanged information
Having discovered the address of James’ apartment, the party decided to spend the late afternoon investigating the location
- The party found the apartment a short distance north of the University, in a relatively dense residential part of town
- The apartment was on the second floor of a two-story shared domicile
- The party tried to open the door, but found it locked
- The party tried to pick the lock, but did not succeed
- Due to noise made by the party, an old lady came out from the first floor of the building, and asked the party what they were doing
- In a panic, the party decided to ignore the woman, and forcibly break in to the apartment
- During their quick raid, they grabbed several loose letters that had been on James’ desk
- Haywood spotted a calling card that had fallen of a small entryway table
- They did not notice any signs of a struggle or major disturbances, apart from those caused by their own entry
- The party fled the crime scene, splitting up into single members
- The party saw police cars en route to the crime scene, but managed to avoid detection
The party regrouped at their hotel for the night
- The party reviewed the items taken from James’ apartment
- The love letters appeared to be between James and his girlfriend, Abagail - but contained no major revalations
- The calling card was the card from Bonnie that James described in his letter to Prof. Amos
- They were greeted again by the cat outside the hotel
- They gave the cat food, and went to bed
