subject: Character backstory

Okay, so here's the story. It's been a normal day on patrol, shooting the shit with the guards around Summerland and looking for anything suspicious but nothing's really going on. It's getting on toward evening and you head home and Alcy's there and she looks a little annoyed. She's fixing up some canned dinner and says that her dad sent a messenger and he wants to see you in his suite ASAP. She demands you have dinner with her first though. Wives take priority.

You go up to his suite and find another sergeant waiting outside the suite, a nervous guy named Petrauskas. He just got promoted after the previous sergeant got killed in the line of duty; they found him shot through the legs and his corpse mangled. Inside you can hear Barrett Lukowski, your father-in-law, shouting at someone but you can't make out what they're saying. You hear some glass break and the man storms out past you. Looks like Petrauskas might get sick on the carpet he's so nervous.

Lukowski invites you in and shuts the door. His anger passes quickly and he offers the two of you a drink. Good Scotch. He tells you that there's been a rash of murders involving MPD guards, more specifically *his* guards, and he doesn't like it. In fact, he finds it quite suspicious. The Four Families are always jockeying for power and he's wondering if this isn't an effort to weaken the Lukowski clan. He wants you to do some sniffing around, low-profile. Use your investigative skills to get to the bottom of this. He wants you to start your search at the Tombstone and ask around, but don't draw any attention. Low-profile, remember. Can't let the others know you might be on to them.

"And Terrence," he says as you're stepping out of the room. "Don't get yourself killed. Alcy would never forgive me."

So there you go. That's your scenario. You can search the compendium for more info on the people and places mentioned above but don't read too much else since there could be spoilers. We'll start you at the Tombstone where you can begin snooping around. For the sake of game play we can assume that you travel through the city from Summerland up to the Tombstone at night, stealthily, and without incident. I'll send out an email with the game play schedule once everyone has responded with their availability. Let me know if you have any questions!
