A single player will portray both Roland and Cecil Washington, while two players can portray one apiece. This OPS is derived from the Chaosium book The House of R’lyeh, and serves as a side adventure between chapters 1 and 2. If you are listening to Reckoning of the Dead Radio and the special Ryans in R’lyeh series, this adventure falls between episodes 5 and 6.  \nFor the Keeper  \nThe Church of Starry Wisdom is assembling occult art objects to renovate the lost cities of Irem and the Grey City, located in Egypt and Kenya, respectively, in an elaborate ritual to summon their Elder God masters, Nyarlathotep and Cthulhu. The leader of the cult, the mysterious figure known only as “J. S.,” needs to move a half-dozen paintings from Boston, Massachusetts, to Buffalo, New York, where they will be loaded aboard a cargo ship and transferred to Cairo. He needs a pair of drivers who will move the shipment and not ask questions.  \nFor the Player  \nThe Washington Brothers, Roland and Cecil, operate a small trucking company located in Boston, Ma. While they have truced contraband in the past, both booze and stolen items, they are not part of the New England Mafia and do not work for Gaspare Messina, the head of organized crime in Boston. They have a reputation for getting the job done. Their last job put them at odds with Desalvo Father and Sons Trucking, a company that is part of the Messina crime family.  \nThe Setup  \nIt is February 1922, and the brothers get an anonymous call to meet at sundown at a warehouse in Boston. The caller doesn’t introduce himself but promises to pay $200 if the brothers drive a shipment to Buffalo, NY, no questions asked. Buffalo is approximately 450 miles from Boston, and the top speed for the brothers’Mack AB truck is 45 m.p.h., meaning the trip will take 10 hours under the best conditions. These won’t be the best conditions, and the next 10 hours will be the most harrowing of the brothers’ lives.  \nThe Warehouse  \nThe warehouse is located on Boston’s North End, an area that both brothers know is notorious for its criminal activity. A hard Spot Hidden roll reveals a couple of shady characters lingering on a street corner, the ever-present eyes and ears of the Messina mob. At the appointed hour, a sleek Cadillac Type 51 arrives. Several men exit the car, including a large man dressed in top hat and cloak, holding a silver-tipped walking cane. As his colleagues open the warehouse for the brothers’ truck, the man foregoes introductions and explains that the brothers will ferry two large wooden crates to the docks in Buffalo, leaving immediately. He holds a crisp $100 bill in his white-gloved hand, and promises a second c-note upon the safe delivery of the cargo. The items are listed on the manifest of the SS Tolosa, a Norwegian cargo ship bound for Cairo.  \nThe brothers are likely curious as to the identity of their client. A Know roll suggests that he is unconnected to the Messina family, as he does not have one of the many New England accents. His formal attire is conspicuously out of place for the environment. With a successful Spot Hidden roll, the brothers notice the initials “J. S.” on the man’s cufflinks, and a golden charm bracelet works around his left wrist, with a small heart inscribed with the name “Lisa.” The men working for him speak to each other in a foreign language, which a successful Education roll indicates is Lithuanian. If the brothers start any trouble, J. S.’s men are expert thugs with appropriate skills for violence and mayhem.  \nThe cargo is two large crates; the first eerily sized like a coffin and the second the size of a bureau or a chest of drawers. They are nailed shut, as per standard shipping regulations, and quite heavy. The Lithuanians will load the crates on the brothers’","cbCaioweqUZingBf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioweqUZingBf","pdf",1262875,"English","# For the Keeper\n## For the Player\n# The Setup\n# The Warehouse\n# Leaving Boston\n# Right Around Albany\n# Let’s Take a Look Inside","[{\"question\":\"How is this one-page scenario meant to be played and by how many players?\",\"answer\":\"It is designed for a Keeper and one or two players.
