==== None More Black (Part 2) ===

**[July 5. 1925]** (In-person Session, May 27. 16:00) 

The strange new drug on the Rhode Island College campus seems to have claimed its first victim. How will the investigators stop its spread?

=== The Investigators ===

  * Dr. Evelyn Winters
  * Rosalie McDoughan
  * Frederick McCraken 
  * Augustus Thaddeus Johnson III.

=== Report ===

After some planning at the Wild Colonial the investigators decided to approach the users of the new drug on campus, which would lead them to the dealer. Rosalie first sent the tiny drug sample they had found on Walter to Brighton for a magic assessment, before donning some hip clothes and going undercover on campus. Augustus joined her and was //slightly// distracted by her looks. Together they soon learned that a group of philosophy and history majors, the "bad crowd", were sometimes found hanging out in a secluded corner of the campus.

Meanwhile, Dr. Winters investigated the timeline of Walter's fall into addiction. Apparently, he was starting to miss appointments and neglect his studies about 2 weeks prior to his death. Police questioned Evelyn about her discovery of the body and dropped that there had be another death at the same dormitory.

Fred's bar crawl through the college Speakeasies only turned up more rumors about the drug, but also pointed him towards the arrogant philosophy group. Later that day, all investigators met at the "Wild Flower" to infiltrate the presumptive addicts. They seemed fresh out of drug supply, but the dealer was supposed to pass through campus within the next 2 days. Rosalie managed to score a date to have a free try of "the Black", while Augustus overheard the dealer's name, "Paul Rogers".

They decided to tail the addicts and follow Rogers to his base after the drug sell. From a distance, Fred noticed several students "bumping" into the man, hiding the transfer of money and vials in plain sight. As he followed the drug pusher, Fred also spotted two other men who seemed to be on his heels. While leaving a cafe, Rogers accidentally dropped a note containing an address in East Providence. Fred was on the verge of going there by himself, but then decided to discuss the find with the rest of the group.

Meanwhile, Evelyn and Rosalie continued to infiltrate and observe the "bad" students without revealing anything new. Augustus had his PI tail Rogers and attempted to enter his home in the upscale part of Providence, while the dealer was away selling his stock. The break-in was thwarted by a concierge that wasn't keen on bribery. When Rogers returned home, Augustus left his hired PI to stake the place out.

The investigators regrouped at the Colonial and discussed their plan to visit what appeared to be an abandoned meat factory in East Providence, when the PI called in with a report. Two men, that he identified as potential Irish mobsters, had visited the dealer for about 20 minutes. When they left he followed them to the city border but then stopped to contact Augustus. They were heading in the direction of East Providence. Soon after he called again, apparently the medics were helping a heavily injured Paul Rogers into an ambulance car and drove away.

As the evening fog started to rise over Rhode Island the group decided to head to the factory building in Augustus' Limo. On their way, two bodies dropped on the road, directly in front of their car. They must have fallen quite a distance, but no aircraft could be spotted through the haze. After briefly examining the splattered corpses and identifying the Irish mobster attire, they continued to the factory, leaving others to figure out what had happened.

Walking the last few meters down the road they hid in the bushes, just as a car passed them from the factory. What will they find in the derelict building?
