As of last night, Chang Chin was captured by Firm Action at their warehouse and noone has seen him since. According to Brady, he's still alive. It is now 9:30 am. After nearly a year of searching for the lost members of the Carlyle Expedition, they have a good idea what happened to everyone. Roger Carlyle is in a Hong Kong asylum not too far from Shanghai. Huston is still in the Great City in Australia, and Sir Audrey Penhew is probably fortified on Gray Dragon Island a few hundred miles offshore.  \nThis island, Brady tells them, is Firm Action's target.  \nBrady has not told Firm Action exactly what they're up against: supernatural cultists. He has left it vague. He wanted their help after all, not to sound like a loony. So Firm Action thinks that they are fighting a corrupt government agency hiding out on the island, financed secretly by businessman Ho Fong. With roughly 150 Firmies in their ranks and plenty of guns, they should be able to put some hurt on the faction.  \n\"And that's the story we peddle,\" insists Brady, glancing around the cafe. \"Don't mention anything else you might have seen before now. And God knows you've seen some crazy stuff.\" He's fidgety, worried that he has been followed. He nods to a slender Chinese fellow who approaches with a tray of green tea.  \nThe waiter nods curtly and departs. \"That's Chu-Min, leader of Firm Action. He wanted to see you blokes for himself, to gauge you. He might look like an innocent kid, but he's a dangerous man. We've been training Firmies on and off for the past year. They're a bloodthirsty group, I'll grant them that. \"  \nBut not as bloodthirsty as the Order of the Bloated Woman. Brady says the cultists of Ho Fong use a poisoned sickle as their weapon. Victims are found with their arms chopped off, the torsos washing upon shore, the arms never to be seen again. He doesn't know what they do with the arms, or why. He goes on to say that Ho Fong is a deadly man, probably the most dangerous in all of China, and his mansion is impenetrable.  \nBroken glass and spearheads circumvent a thirteen-foot tall stone wall. The investigators glance at each, secretly wondering if killing Ho Fong or Gavigan in a preemptive strike is a wise decision. Or a suicidal one?  \nThe investigators have a few questions of their own, but Brady only grants them about ten minutes. It is too dangerous for him to be out in public like this. Dangerous for the investigators too. Gavigan knows who they are and what they're capable of, and has undoubtedly reported back to Ho Fong.  \nFurthermore, the party has not and WILL not tell Brady about Mei-Ling! His girlfriend has been captured as a hostage by Ho Fong in exchange for the Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan. If the exchange isn't made by tomorrow, according to Gavigan, she'll die horribly at something called the Gates of Heaven.  \nAs of right now, it is five days until Doomsday, January 14th 1926. After that, the dead will have a restless sleep until the Great Old Ones return...  \nThe investigators ask Brady about the magical book that he stole. Brady learned about the book arriving via freight ship from another cultist exporter. Brady hijacked the ship with some Firmie buddies and stole the book. He currently has a scholarly friend, Mr. Mu, deciphering the text. When complete, Brady plans to use his half of the Eye of Light and Darkness to create a partial ward on Gray Dragon Island. It will be vastly inferior to a full ward if they possessed both halves, but it is better than nothing.\"After that, I plan on placing a ward in The Great City, onThe Mountain of the Black Wind, and finally atthe Bent Pyr--Good Christ. What is that dog doing here?\"  \nAnd sure enough, the blink-dingo from Australia has mysteriously popped up at Hans's side","cbCaigGQdL7bFYRB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigGQdL7bFYRB","pdf",1056825,16,"English","# Adventure #34: Gray Dragon Island\n## Firm Action’s cover story and the cult threat\n## The hostage deadline and the Gates of Heaven\n## The magical book, Eye of Light and Darkness, and ward plans\n## Sudden betrayal, alarms, and a street ambush","[{\"question\":\"Who are the key characters in Adventure #34 and where are they located at the start?\",\"answer\":\"Hans Hazzenbaum, Chad Slambody, Lester Cobblebottom, and Jack “Brass” Brady sit at the Autumn Cafe while discussing the disappearance of Chang Chin and the likely location of other Carlyle Expedition members.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Brady tell Firm Action about the enemy, and why is it misleading?\",\"answer\":\"Brady does not reveal the full nature of the threat.
