I'm running it by now. I started with two players (New Inquisition
agents), but other players are coming since they called for
'reinforcements' They had to investigate the Flock and retrieve a
suspected magickal artifact.

Frankly, it is going quite slow. I think we have spent too much time
playing Call of Cthulhu; after visiting the bookshop, the characters
spent an entire day doing research in libraries and magazines about the
Flock, and still they are quite clueless about what's going on. Despite
my attempts to describe Sid as a good guy and the Flock as a harmless
organization, they seem to think that the group is performing bloody
sacrifices at moonless nights (I wonder what will happen when we play
Strange Days...)

It was quite boring, so I used some sinchronicity to put Angela in the
path of one of the PCs, just to see what happened (this was probably a
mistake, as they haven't met Maggie yet). He has Photographic Memory,
and recognized her as one of the customers. He also recognized Morris,
who was following Angela. He contacted the other PC and followed them to
Sid's apartment.

While the players argued (sigh), Angela gained access to Sid apartment,
and Morris came after her, so she grabbed the compass and escaped
through the window, reaching the roof. The PCs saw Morris running
upstairs, so one of them followed him, gun in hand. He stormed on the
roof in time to see Angela running and Morris pointing a gun. Morris
shot the PC for 26 wound points, but he was wounded too, and decided to
retreat.

(BTW, I love the secret damage system. Between "I've lost 26 points, so
I've got 34 points, so I'll be a little careful" and "I've been shot!
I've been shot! I need a doctor!", there is a beautiful diference)

Angela jumped off the building, but neither Morris or the PC saw her
flying. They are unsure about what happened to her.

The PCs finally got to their car without drawing too much attention (or
at least, avoided a positive identification by surprised bystanders) and
went for some medical care. They are rather confused and have called
their controller asking for an intrusion specialist, since they want to
break in the bookshop after hours.

Sid is in High Road. Both Angela and Morris are in Middle Road. Maggie
was going to be Middle Road, but I'm having doubts. I haven't decided
yet who hired Morris to kill Angela, so I could use Maggie in a Low
Road
