Event:1925/05/20 Departures and Arrivals

After healing for several days, the group begins to go their separate ways. Jack Brady says that he's retired from all this cult business and intends to stay in Shanghai, continuing to work with the Firm Action Faction. Anthony Chang returns to his day job at the local paper. Charles St. Dennis arrives to collect the personal property of Mary Elise St. Dennis, and Li Wen-cheng helps to make contact with Chun Li, Jack Falcon's next of kin. Lloyd Gribble, who had met Curtis Blakely in London and taken an interest in escaping his failing career and trying his luck in the field, also arrived following threads that Curtis had begun sharing with him. Father Quinn and Li Wen-cheng share their knowledge of events with these newcomers, who are interested in following the threads that led to the tragic deaths of their family members. Quinn secures the copy of the Necronomicon and hops the next train bound for Italy to secure the book with the Order of the Sword of St. Jerome and ensure it stays out of Carl Stanford's hands. He leaves the Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan, seemingly against his better judgement, with Charles, Lloyd, and Chun Li in hopes that they will be able to use the powerful ritual to seal another site against the horrific evils he's witnessed. Li Wen-cheng departs with Father Quinn, done with all of this nonsense and hoping to return to a simpler life. Charles St. Dennis books passage for himself, Lloyd Gribble, and Chun Li to follow the breadcrumbs to Darwin, Australia.
