Famouss Richard, a 24-year-old local rapper, was arrested for first-degree attempted robbery just a week ago but was immediately released without bail. He runs a YouTube channel where he frequently posts videos pranking the NYPD. Given his unusual behavior, he could either provide very interesting information, or be setting you up for a prank.

File 3:

Gold Star Beer Counter is an upscale, hipster bar situated at 176 Underhill Avenue, Brooklyn. It's not the type of place you'd expect a self-proclaimed street gangster to frequent.

Now, let’s create the main character. There will be three other characters in the party, however the main character will have slightly better skills.

1) Choose a name, gender, and ethnicity

2) Choose a class
>Fighter: you are skilled in both ranged and close combat, specializing in hunting special enemies.
>Thief: you are proficient in various skills for infiltration and robbery.
>Priest: you have the power of healing derived from faith.
>Sorcerer: you are capable of casting a few spells from various occult traditions.

You can also vote on how you will interact with Famouss Richard. Troll votes will be rejected.

>>6015492
>Name: Naomi.
>Gender: Female.
>Ethnicity: Half-Japanese, Half-Chinese.
>Sorcerer: you are capable of casting a few spells from various occult traditions.
We go along with Richie’s meeting and hope for the best. Worst case scenario, we get epically pranked and posted on YouTube. Big deal. Best case scenario, we get a lead.

>>6015492
>Name: Naomi Rosenberg
>Gender: Female.
>Ethnicity: Half-Japanese, Half-Jewish
>Sorcerer: you are capable of casting a few spells from various occult traditions.

Wear our merch so even if we get pranked, we get free PR out of it for our business. Win-win.

>>Ethnicity: Half-Jewish
How exactly would this work? Jews can't investigate other Jews, that would be a violation of mesirah.

>Mesirah is the action in which one Jew reports the conduct of another Jew to a non-rabbinic authority.
>A person who violates this law by informing on his fellow Jews is considered subject to din moser, which prescribe death for the offender.
>Mesirah is the main reasons for the gross underreporting of sexual abuse cases in Brooklyn's Haredi community.

>>6016108
Perhaps Naomi’s only ethnically half Jewish and doesn’t follow the religion. If that’s not possible, then I switch back to my original vote.

>>6016133
You can't stop being a Jew

>>6016108
We could be Jewish through our father's side. That would make us Zera Yisrael and thus ethnically rather than religiously Jewish, not sure if mesirah applies then.
Alternatively, we could just break mesirah. The Jews will be attempting to silence us regardless, it doesn't matter whether we're a moser breaking mesirah or a goy who has seen too much.

However, I think Otto is a cooler name so...

>>6015492

>>Half-German, Half-Spanish, of Argentinean Descent

My vote goes to any character that isn't jewish. Otto Serrano seems cool.

I'm enjoying how this qst is educational already; as for the character I'm referencing Miguel & Skorzeny naturally.

>>6015911

>Sorcerer

>>6015516
>>6015516

Naomi Rosenberg and Tyrone Epstein will be kept as party members. The entire team will be introduced in a later update.

Honestly an interesting party. BHIs are absolutely hilarious & despite their illusions fairly redpilled.

Character background:

You grew up in Patagonia, spanning both Argentinean and Chilean territories. Your great-grandfather on your mother’s side was a SS officer, leaving you a legacy of ancient occult tomes. After painstakingly learning German to decipher these texts, you mastered powerful spells. Your initial fascination led you to form an investigation team, primarily to uncover more arcane knowledge. However, as you matured, your purpose evolved. Now, you use your sorcerous abilities to protect and save people from malevolent sorcerers and dark forces.

You arrive at Gold Star Beer Counter an hour early. This is a sleek, modern bar with a minimalist design. Warm light filters through the arched windows, and the scent of craft beer and charcuterie fills the air. You order an overpriced beer and, while waiting, check out your informant’s YouTube videos. His latest upload, "Famouss Richard Gets Kicked Out Jewish Tunnel Chabad-Lubavitch," shows him in a black Jewish outfit, interviewing reluctant Jews in this very neighborhood. Despite his reputation as a troll, the video is surprisingly intriguing. Richard's fast-talking skills earn him some valuable insight, including a kid’s story of being forced to sleep in secret tunnels (see File 4 below.)

At 4 PM sharp, the door swings open and in walks Famouss Richard, an African-American man you recognize instantly from his videos. Just as you think, "Right on time," he suddenly collapses to his knees. Blood pours from a neck stab wound, spreading across the worn wooden floor. The bar, lively with the murmur of conversations and clinking glasses, falls into stunned silence. A woman at a nearby table screams, her chair scraping loudly against the floor as she jumps up. People scramble away, eyes wide with shock and horror. The killer, unseen in the confusion, slips out unnoticed. You rush to Richard's side, but it's too late. The life has already drained from his eyes.

To your surprise, the video you had just watched is now gone, replaced by a message, "This video has been deleted for violating YouTube Community Guidelines." A chill runs down your spine. Someone is trying to erase all traces of Famouss Richard.

>Wait for NYPD to arrive, intending to testify.
>Quickly search the body for clues (1 minute), and flee.
>Search the body (3 minutes), and flee.
>Take this time to read his recent Reddit activity, before it gets deleted
>Write-in [nothing trollish or humorous]

Video transcript, 04:57

Richard: On King David! Y’all see, I’m here with two young Jewish brothers. How do y’all feel about Chabad-Lubavitch, the hidden tunnels?
Kid: I love it, crazy.
Richard: Have you been there before?
Kid: Yeah, yeah, yeah, 100%.
Richard: Can you guys take me there?
Kid: Huh, no.
Richard: Why?
Kid: Why? Cause it’s dangerous. But... (he frowns) we slept there.
Richard: You slept there?
Kid (pointing to another kid:) Yeah, me and him.
Richard: Who brought you to that tunnel?
Kid: Ah... (hesitates) I don’t know.
Richard: Does your mom and dad bring you to the tunnel?
Kid (categorically): No!

Video transcript, 07:23
Richard is seen entering a crowded Jewish building. He’s handed a card about a figure called "Rebbe Messiah".

Video transcript, 08:20
As Richard is pressing people with questions about "secret tunnels", he’s getting kicked out of the building.
Jewish man: You are trespassing. You are not a member or a student.

50 seconds later, a muscular police officer is shown pushing Richard out of the building.
Richard: Why are you pushing me? On King David! What did I do?

As seen in File 4, NYPD is based at [unknown Jewish building], which is 5 minutes from the bar. Hence, it takes maximum 5 minutes for them to arrive.
The time for his Reddit activity to be deleted is more arbitrary, but I'm using the same die for the sake of simplicity.

You quickly search his body for any clues about why he was murdered. In his wallet and pockets, you find:

>Rebbe Messiah card: the same card you saw in the video, a white and green plastic card with brief information about the Messiah and contact details.
>Key: probably to his apartment.
>Smartphone: locked.
>Small bag of white powder: unlabeled, it may be either meth or fentanyl.

A woman asks you what you are doing, her eyes wide with concern. You tell her, "Quick, call an ambulance," before leaving with the items. You don’t want to be there when the police arrive: explaining why you took things from the body would be too complicated and could get you arrested. RIP, Richard.

You make your way to the Brooklyn Hotel, just a 20 minute walk northeast. You've booked two adjacent rooms for you and your team. The rooms look modern, featuring a mural of the Brooklyn Bridge, one of New York's most iconic landmarks.

The team members are:
>Naomi Rosenberg: Adopted by Jewish parents from an early age, Naomi delved deep into the teachings of Jewish Kaballah. Despite her Asian appearance, her true ethnicity remains a mystery.
>Tyrone Epstein: African-American street fighter who claims to be a true Israelite, tracing his lineage back to Biblical times. His rugged face, accentuated by a shaved head, exudes an aura of raw power.
Kim Eun-Ae: a skilled Korean thief specializing in the retrieval of cultural assets stolen abroad. Despite her petite frame, she moves with the fluid grace of a feline predator.
Father Darragh Corrigan: Once a respected Irish priest, Father Darragh now walks a solitary path after being excommunicated from the Church. Specializing in exorcism, he navigates the delicate balance between faith and doubt.

File 6:

Richard's last Reddit post, concerning his video, was locked by u/Maxwellhill, a super moderator account suspected to belong to Ghislaine Maxwell, the notorious Jewish criminal. The situation is strange, given that Maxwell has been sentenced to twenty years in prison since June 2022, and the account has remained inactive for years. Within one minute of the thread being locked, it was quickly deleted, along with all of Richard's posting history.

I’d love to have her watch the cops for anything suspicious but I feel like this is a more time sensitive matter. Maybe she could watch the cops when they inevitably inspect his apartment afterwards.

Start with the guy we KNOW was silenced for knowing too much. Schneerson and the other leads will still be there in the morning; Richard's evidence may not be, if the cops are dirty.

As Naomi finishes, her eyes flutter open, and she looks at the team with urgency. You break the silence with a determined tone. "Alright, if they’re moving the body, we need to act fast. Eun-Ae, you’re our best bet for getting into Richard’s place without raising alarms. Think you can handle it?"

Eun-Ae nods confidently. "I’ll find whatever they’re trying to hide. You focus on the phone, T. That thing might have the key to everything."

Tyrone says, "I know a guy who’s good with phones. If anyone can crack the password, it’s him. I’ll head out now and get this sorted."

Eun-Ae slips on her leather jacket, checks her equipment, and immediately heads outside.

***

Tyrone makes his way to a phone shop tucked away in a dimly lit alley of Brownsville, Brooklyn. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of cannabis and the low hum of electronic equipment. He approaches the counter, where an African-American man with tattooed knuckles greets him with a nod. Tyrone hands over Richard's locked smartphone, explaining the situation. The thug examines the phone briefly and says, "It'll be ready tomorrow, but it'll cost you extra. Cops are sniffing around this one."

Eun-Ae ascends the decrepit stairs leading to Richard’s apartment, the once-grand marble now cracked and stained. She takes the key and unlocks the door. Taking a deep breath, she steps inside, moving with deliberate, silent precision. The room exudes an atmosphere of poverty, with peeling wallpaper, a sagging couch, and scattered trash. Rap lyrics cover the walls, reflecting Richard's lifestyle. As she approaches the center of the room, a sudden movement catches her eye. A Black man with worn clothes and a wary expression emerges from an adjacent room. It takes him a moment to notice Eun-Ae's stealthy presence, but when he does, his eyes widen in panic. Without a word, he slips out the window and quickly descends a rusted fire escape. Clearly, an intruder up to no good.

The man descends the fire escape and dashes toward a waiting black sedan, which promptly speeds away as he reaches it. There’s nothing else Eun-Ae can do. The cops will arrive any minute, as they will certainly search the victim’s house. So, time presses.

Despite the mess, Eun-Ae works with efficiency. Music production tools, including a TR-808 drum machine autographed by DJ Frankie Knuckles, are scattered about. There isn’t much else of value: no TV, no laptop. It seems Famouss Richard wasn’t too interested in technology or physical belongings.

After searching for a few minutes, she finds a plain business card in a drawer of the bedside cabinet. Alongside it, there’s a book titled "Jewish Cults of English" by Gabriel Debré, which delves into Jewish and Masonic cults in rural England, with a focus on witchcraft rituals. She makes her way back to the Brooklyn Hotel, the book and business card securely tucked away in her backpack.

You look up as she enters. "What did you find?” You examine the book, turning it over in your hands, flipping through the pages. "I've never seen this book before," you admit, puzzled. "Why would Famouss Richard be interested in something like this?"

Eun-Ae shrugs. "I don't know, but it must be important. There was also a business card, plain and unremarkable, but it might have a clue."

Additional party member

She’s not a full-fledged party member. She doesn’t receive a share of the loot and must beg in the streets to earn her own money. During jungle expeditions, she handles the luggage and sets up camp. In city investigations, she keeps watch in the hotel lobby and runs errands for the team.

In the hotel room, Naomi quickly reads through "Jewish Cults of England." Once finished, she gathers the team for a debriefing.

"This book is quite crude, offering little valuable information. It touches on witchcraft practices, but only superficially, and some details are clearly fabricated. However, one intriguing part claims a Jewish community is living in Subterranean London. The author describes it as a vast network, spanning almost the entirety of London, made from abandoned sections of the London Underground, sewers, and military tunnels. He further asserts that these tunnels have multiple layers, with an unexplored system of tunnels, mines, and caverns beneath Subterranean London proper, reaching depths of a mile or more."

"And where did he get this information?" you ask.

"From an anonymous Jewish man who converted to Christianity," Naomi replies.

"So, he’s talking about a... Sub-Subterranean London? His book doesn’t sound very reliable. Yet, the thought of such a place is quite terrifying. Anything could happen down there."

Eun-Ae goes to loiter near Richard’s home, with Tyrone tagging along. They watch the area, noting the demographics. Most people around are African American or Caribbean, with a few Jewish or Mexican people. The streets of Crown Heights are well kept and clean, and at this time of day, there are few people outside. As they walk past a group of Mexicans on Dean Street, the men whistle and wave at Eun-Ae. If she was alone, they might have harassed her.

"This is boring, we should beat them up," Tyrone mutters.

"We're not here for fun," she replies. "If you’re bored, focus on your breathing, still your mind, and the boredom will fade."

After an hour, the police still hasn't shown up. It’s not too surprising. When it comes to the murder of a working-class civilian, the case might be closed without much investigation.

Father Darragh is standing outside the Gold Star Beer Counter, just past the yellow ribbon set by the investigators. When he arrived, they were nearly finished interviewing the witnesses. Richard’s body is loaded into an ambulance labeled “Hatzalah, CH-902,” and the priest jogs to follow it. The police car and ambulance head to 770 Eastern Parkway, the same address written on the Rebbe Messiah card. This is odd, considering the police precinct is located five blocks south. What are they doing here? The street is busy, and many of the people are bearded men in black attire, likely members of the local Jewish community. The overall feel of the area is one of organized chaos. The body is taken inside a large building, after which the officers exit and leave.

>Yoruba roll: 56 [Failure]

It is now early evening, and the sun is setting. The temperature has dropped to a chilly 45°F, making loitering outside uncomfortable. Just as they are beginning to think the police might not come at all, the burglar from Richard’s apartment suddenly appears at the building’s entrance. He glances over his shoulder, not spotting Eun-Ae, and slips inside.

"I have to catch him," Eun-Ae tells Tyrone.

She sprints toward the entrance, planning to ambush him discreetly. She grabs her ceramic knife and follows him up the stairs. Just as he reaches the first landing, she moves silently behind him and stabs him in the leg. He cries out in pain and collapses, Tyrone close behind.

As the man calms down, Eun-Ae questions him, "Who are you? What do you want from Famouss Richard?"

"I don’t speak English, I don’t speak English," he says fearfully, with a thick African accent.

"Se o le so ede Yoruba?" Tyrone asks in Yoruba, one of the African languages he knows. Over the years, he has studied Yoruba and Amharic to connect more deeply with the African continent. Yoruba is a major language of Nigeria, while Amharic is spoken by Ethiopian Jews, who trace their ancestry back to King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, an identity with which Tyrone feels a connection.

Unfortunately, the man shakes his head and responds in a language Tyrone doesn't recognize. He makes several attempts to communicate, but they remain unable to understand each other.

"I know he's from Ghana, but I can't tell you anything else," Tyrone informs Eun-Ae. "I have no clue what he wants from Famouss Richard. Maybe it's gang related? He doesn’t look like a gangster though, more like a hungry migrant."

"Okay, well, Otto sent me a text message, and I have to leave. You handle the rest," Eun-Ae says, heading off to her next task.

She heads to 770 Eastern Parkway, her mouth mask covering her mouth and nose. Dozens of Jews are gathered outside the building. She descends the inclined surface and enters a large room filled with bearded Jewish men, many wearing black hats and suits. Rows of books line the walls, and tables are cluttered with open texts and papers as students engage in animated discussions. The place is far too crowded for her to infiltrate unnoticed, especially since she sticks out as a female and Asian in this environment. The security is tight, with two police cars parked outside. This building is the Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters, and they maintain their own private security force, just as Famouss Richard mentioned in his video before it was taken down. In this environment, any covert operation would be nearly impossible.

In the hotel room, Naomi spreads out maps on the bed. "You won’t believe this, but the most obvious discovery is that Kingston Avenue Station is right in front of the Chabad Lubavitch Headquarters. The building sits directly on top of the metro station. From there, it connects to all of New York’s metro and sewer systems."

"What’s Chabad Lubavitch?" you ask.

"It’s an Orthodox Jewish sect that venerates Rabbi Schneersohn, also known as Rebbe Messiah, as their king and savior. Almost every Jew in Brooklyn is connected to that sect."

"And they have their own police force and a metro station?"

"Apparently so. But that’s not all. If you look at the map of New York’s sewer system, you’ll see an interceptor sewer line just two blocks south of their building. An interceptor line is essentially a walkable tunnel of metal. Additionally, if you walk 15 minutes east, you’ll find the Cobble Hill Tunnel, a railway tunnel abandoned since 1861 and only rediscovered in 1981 by an urban explorer. New York’s history is so old that there are many abandoned tunnels no one knows about, and they haven’t been recorded in city records despite being major construction projects. It seems as if all information was intentionally erased, and only the most obvious information is available to the public. How do you lose every record of a railway tunnel? The only certain thing is that underground New York is much larger than on the surface, which eerily mirrors the stories in Jewish Cults of England."

"Amazing research, Naomi," you say. "It’s incredible you found so much information in so little time."

"My pleasure. When it comes to anything Jewish, I get really focused and engrossed in it."

Choose your last actions for the day. Note: the locked phone will only be available on the next day (>>6019691).

Tyrone calls up a contact, Mr. Okyere-Darko, a Ghanaian lawyer who owns a boxing gym in Queens.

"Yo, Sir, it’s me, Tyrone Epstein, the fighter."

"Yo, what’s good, Tyrone? How you livin?"

"Brother, I got a situation. Some dude tried to rob a friend of mine. I don't wanna hurt him, but I need to know who he’s rollin with."

"I got you. Sounds rough. Alright, bring him over. You’ll owe me one, though. I’ll send one of my boys to pick you up."

Tyrone texts you the address: 41-25 58th St. After that, he goes radio silent when you try to call him. That's worrisome. Has he been ambushed, you wonder?

***

Father Darragh briefly meets up with Eun-Ae, exchanging a few quick words, before entering the main room of the Chabad-Lubavitch HQ. He feels a chill, sensing an absence of the Holy Spirit, which should be impossible given its omnipresence.

"Hello, everyone. I’m Father Darragh, a Catholic priest from Ireland. I’m here to get to know you all and discuss."

A student approaches and scoffs, "You’re in the wrong place. Yeshu sought to harm Israel, but we won’t let you harm our community."

"That’s not true," the priest retorts. "Jesus said, ‘I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.’ He came to fulfill Messianic prophecies from your Torah, preaching good news about God’s plan of salvation, not to harm anyone."

"That is completely false," the student replies angrily. "The only man who ever accomplished the Messianic prophecy is Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, the Rebbe. Yeshu is only an imposter. He is boiling in excrement, and anyone who mocks the words of the Sages will be sentenced to boiling excrement."

Other students nod and tell him to leave. Seeing the hostility, the priest prepares to go, but a police officer blocks his path. "Sir, you’re under arrest. Do not resist." The conversation lasted only a minute, but with the police permanently stationed outside, they intervened quickly.

Everyone has been gathered in the hotel room for a special meeting. Exceptionally, even Jannali is present. She is usually not here because you view her as unclean or untouchable, but because she generally has nothing to contribute to debates.

"Things are starting to get serious," you say. "Father Darragh has been arrested for trespassing and will spend 24 hours in jail. But this is not the worst part. Tyrone called one of his Ghanaian contacts to translate and talk to the burglar, but instead they kidnapped him. They will exchange him for Famouss Richard’s phone."

"Which we don’t have," Naomi adds.

"Exactly. So, it seems Tyrone didn’t give them too much information about us, and I would guess he’s expecting us to come rescue him."

"Then, Richard made enemies with a lot of people. Not just the Jews, but the Ghanaians too."

"Yes. The Jews took his body, and the Ghanaians are after his cell phone. The situation is quite complicated. Anyway, before we make a plan, tell us what you’ve discovered, Jannali"

Jannali, with her thick Australian accent, says, "Right, so I’ve been chatting with the hobos, but they didn’t have much to say. The neighborhood’s been pretty quiet, except for this unknown black car that was driving around slowly all afternoon."

"Thanks, Jannali. Good job."

"My pleasure. But I hope you save Tyrone. He’s a good bloke."

You chuckle. Everyone knows Jannali and Tyrone sleep together, so it’s understandable she’s worried for him. Only Father Darragh disapproves of their relationship, but he can’t quite express that from his jail cell.

Naomi lights up ritual candles and spreads her tarot cards on the bed. She flips the first card, revealing a man sitting up in bed, his face contorted in pain.

"This is the Nine of Swords, a very negative card representing pain and fear. The swords symbolize that his fears may pierce through him."

She flips another card and gasps. The card shows a hideous devil with goat-like features, holding a torch, and two people chained at his altar. "The Devil card's symbolism is often associated with Judaism, and also featuring traits of Baphomet. The hand gesture is the priestly blessing performed in Judaism. This could represent a powerful rabbi, possibly Rebbe Messiah himself. The chains symbolize the Ghanaians' fear and bondage under his influence. I don’t feel comfortable looking at this card." She flips it over, her face pale with fear. "I felt as if he was looking at me through the card, and I couldn’t stand its gaze. One thing is certain: this Devil figure, whoever he is, is a powerful man."

"Does it mean we should hold off?" Eun-Ae asks. "The Ghanaians sound like victims of the Devil."

"I don’t know," you reply. "They can’t use the Devil as an excuse for betraying Tyrone."

At 2 AM, the team is ready for the operation. Eun-Ae heads out first to scout alone, her movements as silent as a shadow. Only the most trained and alert sentinel might detect her presence. The boxing gym is nestled between a childcare center and a grocery store. On the street side, it has two regular doors and one large garage door. There's also a smaller, wooden door in the back alley. The roof is made of iron sheets, like those found in a slum. Light filters through a window, and she takes a cautious peek inside. There are weights, treadmills, an elliptical, a stationary bike, various punching bags, and a central boxing ring illuminated by dim overhead lights. Tyrone is tied to a chair, and there are two African men sitting in the ring, apparently unarmed. One is tall and muscular, dressed in a black tank top and sweatpants, his biceps covered in tribal tattoos. The other is shorter but equally muscular, wearing a sleeveless hoodie.

"The door is probably locked. Should I pick the lock?" Eun-Ae asks.

"No, you don’t need to do anything," Otto answers. "Let me handle this."

He takes his Maglite and smashes both windows with it. Then, he chants a hymn dedicated to Apollo, "Salve Apollo Medica quod bonum faustum." Brilliant beams of golden light emanate from his palms, flooding the gym with a radiant glow.

Naomi grabs one of her shuriken, ready to attack, but hesitates for a momen in the face of Apollo's pure, divine light. For indeed, the light's purity contrasts with the darker nature of her own faith.

Otto has exhausted his magic for today and cannot cast any more spells until he has had a night's rest.

Both targets are blinded and confused for one turn.

Eun-Ae slips through the door with effortless grace, while Naomi, more clumsily, follows and cuts herself superficially on the broken glass. The thief sprints toward Tyrone and, with one swift slice of her sharp knife, cuts the rope binding him. Tyrone stirs and speaks groggily, "Hey, sis. Where am I? I'm mad thirsty."

“We have no time for that, T,” she replies.

“But I'm real thirsty, though.”

The two Ghanaians are sitting just behind them on the boxing ring, still dazed but gradually regaining their senses. Naomi attempts to cast a Brainwashing spell, but in the process, her consciousness becomes entangled in the Sefirot, the Kabbalistic emanations from higher realms. Brainwashing is a complex spell, harnessing energy from the Ein Sof, channeled through the Sefirot, and combined with modern techniques from Project MKUltra, developed by Jewish scientist Sidney Gottlieb. It is powerful and potentially dangerous magic, both for the spellcaster and the target. Naomi struggles but manages to free herself from the mental labyrinth. The spell fails, but she remains unharmed.

You draw your Walther P38 and point it at the Ghanaians. "If I’m not mistaken, you guys are unarmed."

They both raise their hands. The taller one speaks. "You’re gonna regret crossing us. Mr. Okyere-Darko works for people more powerful than you can imagine."

"Do you mean the Chabad-Lubavitch Jews?"

He looks extremely surprised. "Yeah, how do you know?"

As your companions escape, you talk with the two men. They follow the boss's orders but don't like it. They’re migrants from Ghana who came to the USA with their families. As soon as they arrive, most migrants are taken to the tunnels, while some have to work on the surface, their families held as hostages in the tunnels. They follow orders to protect their loved ones. Mr. Okyere-Darko, however, is different. He's an educated lawyer who works willingly for the rabbis for power and money, making him a highly efficient mobster. You listen with horror, realizing these people are essentially modern-day slaves. Chabad-Lubavitch operates entirely outside the law, with no regard for ethics.

Everyone returns to the hotel. On the way, you tell Tyrone to assume that all his NYC contacts are compromised.

End of tactical mode

Keeper: For this battle victory, I’ve made a song on my own TR-808 drum machine, inspired by tribal Ghanaian music:

You spend a restless night in the hotel room, haunted by visions of what could be happening in the tunnels. As dawn breaks on January 2nd, 2024, you feel a clearer understanding of the situation in Brooklyn. Father Darragh remains in his cell, and Jannali has not reported any suspicious movement.

Tyrone travels to Harlem, to the Muhammad Mosque No. 7, the headquarters of the Nation of Islam, and meets up with Student Minister Daniel Muhammad, who’s elegantly dressed in a suit with a blue bow tie. They make small talk until Tyrone asks for help with the Chabad-Lubavitch tunnels.

"We can’t help with that," the Minister responds. "We are already overwhelmed with other missions. As long as we don’t have our own nation, there will be such tunnels. With their banks, Jews control the flow of money, so they control everything."

"But this is bad. They have kidnapped migrants and children."

"All right, since you seem to be acting in good faith, I’ll give you a tip. Go to Malcolm Shabazz Harlem Market. You can buy what you need there."

Malcolm Shabazz Harlem Market is an open-air souq in Harlem where vendors sell crafts and textiles from Africa, with the music of drums and belly dancers. It’s as if a piece of Arabic and African land from another era had been transported by magic into the middle of the modern, dystopian city of New York. He approaches a vendor who sells woven baskets.

"As-salamu alaykum, brother. I’m here for the special goods."

The vendor looks at him suspiciously. "I’ve never seen you here before."

"Yes. Minister Muhammad sent me here."

The vendor’s face immediately warms. "Ah, yes, yes. Let me know what you need. Do you see those dancers? They are beautiful, right? You can take a look at them, they are mine."

The dancers are slim Middle Eastern and African women, dressed in Arabian style, wearing face veils. They move gracefully, their beauty captivating anyone who watches. In the Harlem souq, you can buy any type of contraband. Stolen cellphone, medication, weapons, prostitutes, even slaves. This isn’t exactly what the Nation of Islam would endorse, but here, it’s not their territory.

Yes, you’ve done it right. First anon has failed the roll, second anon succeeded on buying a scimitar.

>>6020557
The prices are outrageously high, all double or triple the market rates. Disliking being scammed, Tyrone decides to purchase only one scimitar, so that he has a melee weapon and to save up his ammo in the tunnels. The trader claps his hands, and one of the female slaves brings the weapon, bowing her head humbly to her master. Tyrone examines it closely. He’s no expert in traditional weapons, but he can tell it’s finely forged, sharp, and solid, with a sturdy hilt.

"Wrap it up. I’ll take it."

I’m going with the informational votes here >>6025961 to flesh up the update.

At noon, before lunch, the team gathers for another meeting.

"I’ve found several entry points to the tunnels," Eun-Ae reports. "The most straightforward way in is through the metro station. I’ve identified several maintenance doors that likely lead into the Chabad-Lubavitch tunnels. The second entry point is through the sewers. Most street manholes open to smaller pipes, but I’ve identified two that lead to the interceptor lines, on New York Avenue and Nostrand Avenue. Obviously, we’d need to wait until night time for that option."

"Thank you, Eun-Ae," you say, pondering the information. You’re unsure if the sewers are the Chabad-Lubavitch tunnels proper, or if they are another system you’ll have to navigate to reach the tunnels. So far, all you have is speculative information, and fieldwork will be necessary to understand the underground situation better.

"Naomi, can you use the tarot cards to get more information about the tunnels?"

The sorceress’s face turns pale again. The last time she read the cards, she felt a dark presence watching her. Divination goes both ways: opening a channel to a target likewise allows the target to enter your own mind. Despite her hesitation, she agrees. It’s crucial to gather more information, and it would be foolish to enter a dangerous place unprepared. She begins her ritual and flips the first card.

“Eight of Wands, reversed. Don’t go for it: there are too many obstacles. In my last reading, the swords represented overwhelming fears [>>6024071]. Here, the wands represent countless obstacles and dangers. There are so many obstacles that divination cannot identify them individually. This is as bad of a presage as it gets."

She flips the second card, and her tone darkens. "Yet, it gets worse. Tower, reversed. The Tower card is associated with the Devil, showing Him beating his drums before the Mouth of Hell. The Tower itself is the Tower of Babel, reaching for Heaven and defying God. There are 22 flames, representing the 12 signs of the Zodiac and the 10 Sefirot. In Kabbalah, the Sefirot can be reversed, yielding the Qlippoth, evil impure spiritual forces. Reversed, the 22 flames become the Dark Zodiac and the 10 Qlippoth. If upward, the Tower reaches for Heaven, reversed, the Tower becomes an underground dungeon reaching for the depths of Hell."

A shiver courses through your body as you grasp the implications of Naomi’s divination. Beneath your feet lies an incomprehensibly vast and deep system of tunnels, full of obstacles and dangers, entirely under your enemies' control. Are they actually trying to unleash Hell on Earth? The case is much bigger than you thought, involving forces you can’t mentally conceive, and you understand that your chances of finding out what happened to Jeanette Rodriguez are minuscule.

>Seek out other esoteric Aryanists, just as Tyrone is doing with Muslims

The Esoteric Aryanism circles are sparse, mostly gathering in a few exclusive online communities, such as 4chan’s paranormal board and AboveTopSecret.com. You manage to locate a sorcerer named Monsieur Berthelot, who resides in Jericho, NY, and agrees to meet with you. His home is an opulent mansion adorned with turreted towers, set amidst lush greenery. A butler greets you and escorts you to the tea room, where Monsieur Berthelot, an elderly man clad in the black robes of a sorcerer, awaits your arrival.

"Greetings, señor. Would you care for a glass of Grands Echezeaux?"

"With pleasure, monsieur. I must say, your home is truly beautiful."

Aryan sorcerers are distinguished by their unwavering politeness and honor. Vril powers awaken only in those with the purest bloodlines, whose ancestors in the Iron Age were priests and druids. They are the golden souls, representing the true nobility of Europe, now merely a vestige of its former glory. The butler pours you a glass, and you take a sip. The taste resembles a Pinot Noir from Argentina or Chile but with a more fully-rounded flavor.

"I have read your email and found your investigation fascinating. Have you ever heard of Rabbi Gershon Kranczer?" he asks, his voice tinged with disgust.

"No, I haven't."

"He is a rabbi and school principal from Brooklyn who molested many children. After being caught in 2010, he fled to Israel. Worse than molestation, rabbis harvest the blood and organs of children because they require powerful magical components. This is why the most powerful rabbinical practice is the ritual of metzitzah b'peh, circumcision with the mouth and teeth. It’s an act of rape, torture, and organ harvesting, all combined in one, and their most heinous ritual. I cannot tolerate any of those acts. If you ask me, you have stumbled upon the largest rat nest in the world. It is my duty to provide you with all the help I can. "

"You are well-versed in Jewish practices."

"Unfortunately, yes. You must know what vermin you’re hunting before you can exterminate it. In my youth, just like you, I hunted down rabbinic pedophiles and burned several of their nests. All of their golden trinkets and stolen artworks, I sold and donated the money to orphanages of good reputation. Rabbi Kranczer fled abroad not because he feared American authorities, but because he knew the Esoteric Aryans would hunt him down."

"Wonderful, monsieur. You are a true inspiration to me."

"Now, follow me to the basement. I will sell you useful items for a fair price."

The basement is a heavily fortified vault, with thick metal bars and reinforced concrete walls. No burglar would ever dare to break in, and if they did, they wouldn't make it out alive.

After visiting the vault, you and your host return to the tea room, enjoying a peaceful conversation.

"Would you be interested in a séance?" he asks. "It's a hobby of mine, and I think I’m quite competent."

"Most certainly."

He reaches for an old leather bag and retrieves a handful of stones. With his eyes closed, he begins to recite, "Adolf Hitler, mon seigneur, please guide my steps to the divine light of the three Black Suns."

You smile. Whereas Chabadists view Rabbi Schneerson as their messiah and Nation of Islam holds similar views toward Elijah Muhammad, Aryan Esoterists consider Adolf Hitler the true messiah. Each group champions its own racial messiah. However, since childhood, you’ve realized that all mythical figures stem from the same few archetypes. Schneerson, Muhammad, and Hitler are merely facets of a higher deity.

Three stones rest on the table. The sorcerer flips them over, one by one, revealing surfaces etched with ancient runes. As each rune is revealed, his eyes glaze over, and he speaks as if taken by a shamanic trance.

"Rune of Naudiz ᚾ: trouble, oppression. Rune of Ehwaz ᛖ, reversed: betrayal, ambush. Isaz ᛁ, in opposition: a slippery floor, betrayal. A plot is about to be revealed. You will be betrayed by one of your closest friends when the situation is most dangerous. One of your friends is not who you think they are."

His voice grows darker. "I have a vision of Ephialtes of Trachis, the hunchback traitor."

You feel stunned. Years ago, a clairvoyant also predicted betrayal by a close friend, but not as accurately. A hunchback traitor probably refers to the prehistoric ugliness of the Semites. You have always suspected there’s a Jew in your party. Certainly, Kim Eun-Ae is your most trustworthy ally. First, she is of pure race. Second, she has a pristine reputation in Korea for risking her life many times to recover cultural artifacts stolen during the Japanese occupation and sold to wealthy Jews worldwide in black market auctions. But as for Naomi Rosenberg and Tyrone Epstein, the situation is different. Both are hiding parts of their background, and both claim to be Jews. One of them is lying about being a Jew, and the other is a true Jew, waiting to ambush you, probably once you are deep in the Chabad-Lubavitch tunnels.

"You seem lost in thought, young man. Did my divination resonate?"

"Very much. I think one of my friends is a secret Jew."

"Everyone gets betrayed at least once in their lifetime. It’s part of the human experience. Once you purify your friend group, you will reach new levels of power." He quotes the runic poem of Naudiz, "Trouble is oppressive to the heart; yet often it proves a source of help and salvation."

You return to the hotel by taxi, carrying the many items you purchased. As you enter, you see Father Darragh and nod to him. Eun-Ae steps forward to report on the events during your absence.

"Our friend, Father Darragh, was released from jail. Thankfully, he was not harmed or taken to the tunnels. This was our greatest fear, but he’s safe."

"Thank God."

"Moreover, Naomi has called her adoptive parents for help. They are flying in from Singapore and will arrive in two days. The call has left her deeply shaken." Eun-Ae hesitates before continuing. "As you know, they psychologically tortured her in her childhood. Despite a more polite relationship now, I cannot fathom why she would summon those monsters. It must be because she felt the case was too difficult and had no other choice. She has regressed to the psychological state of a terrorized child and is resting in her bed."

"Oh, no! Is there anything I can do?"

"No, just let her be for now. I think she will recover soon, as long as we pretend like nothing happened."

Naomi was adopted by her parents' friends, who saw it as an opportunity to abuse her, breaking her as a person. She embraced their culture, studying Hebrew, Yiddish, and Kabbalah, but spent her adult life rescuing missing children from predators. These contradictory aspects of her personality cause her to regress psychologically when exposed, overwhelmed with terror. This is why no one criticizes her use of Kabbalah.

Keeper: A good Keeper might have informed anon about the abusive part, because it was not indicated on Naomi’s character sheet. Apologies for any confusion.

Tyrone clears his throat. "Yo, I got some bad news about Richard’s phone."

"What is it?"

"While trying to hack it, my contact messed up the battery and some other stuff. Now, it won’t even turn on. It will take more time to fix."

"How long will that take?"

"He said like 4 to 5 days."

January 4th, 2024

Two days of torment have passed, and Naomi has recovered from the emotional shock of speaking to her parents. She now waits in the lobby of John F. Kennedy International Airport for their arrival, nervously reading the newspaper. An old man, dressed in a long black coat and hat, approaches her with his wife, who is wearing a modest black dress and holding his arm. He hands his luggage to Naomi.

"Father, Mother," she says in Yiddish. "It’s been a long time."

"Is what you said on the phone true? You are investigating the community of Chabad-Lubavitch?"

"Yes. I’m investigating a case that involves a missing child and the murder of a reporter. I need your help and guidance."

"And on which rabbi’s authority are you acting?"

A question she did not expect. "I-I haven’t consulted with any rabbi."

The man slaps her across the face. "Your behavior is not kosher. Only a rabbi can investigate a Jewish community, and no one else. I can’t believe I have spent so much money on your education, only for you to turn into a stupid little cunt."

They walk outside, where a limousine is waiting for them. "Step in. We are going to the synagogue to make up for this mess."

After a silent drive, they arrive in Crown Heights and enter the synagogue located at 770 Eastern Parkway. Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky stands near a carved ark, his back turned to them. The air is thick with solemnity, and Naomi feels terrified.

"Rabbi, we are here," her father says.

"Explain to me."

"My daughter, Naomi, has brought shame to our family. She has been investigating the synagogue without permission."

"A reporter has been making noise about us lately. I thought his untimely death would have put an end to this foolishness, but I suppose others have been replacing him."

"We are sorry about this. We seek teshuva."

Teshuva is the process of repentance and returning to righteous behavior in Judaism. The rabbi turns around and looks at Naomi from head to toe. "It is your responsibility to punish her. Your family must resolve its internal issues before you can seek teshuva. I can't punish her for you, because a rabbi cannot have sexual intercourse with a girl who is more than three years old. Is her orifice still obstructed by a hymen, at least?"

"Yes, rabbi. It is the case."

"You have caused great trouble. You are causing me to worry about the synagogue, and I’m ready to seal off the entrance to the tunnels so that the goyim can't cause trouble. If I do that, the synagogue will be cut off from its roots and perish. I suppose, if she spends a night underground, the problem will be solved. Whatever happens or does not happen to her, this will be the judgment of Molech, and I will not go against it."

The rabbi grabs a flashlight and opens a door, leading to a narrow staircase made of decaying wood, descending into the darkness. The walls are covered with peeling paint, giving the place a sinister feel.

They arrive in the basement, a chaotic mess of broken furniture, dirty clothes, and scattered debris.

“From here on, be quiet,” he says.

A jagged hole in the stone wall reveals a narrow, dark passageway, its edges crumbling and uneven, hinting at hurried excavation.

The faint light barely penetrates the passageway, suggesting a hidden network extending into shadowy depths. A child-sized mattress lies on the ground, soiled with blood and excrements.

"Your daughter may sleep here for the night. If she’s still here tomorrow morning, I will bring her back to the surface."

"Thank you, rabbi," her father says. "We are taking our leave now."

Naomi:

After Naomi’s parents leave, the rabbi returns with a plastic bag in his claw-like hand, and a cold shiver of terror runs through her at the thought of what it could be for.

"Put all your clothes and belongings in here."

"But if I’m naked, I’ll be cold," Naomi protests.

"Comply!" the rabbi shouts, his voice amplified by a magical echo.

Naomi reluctantly removes her coat and sweatshirt as the rabbi explains, "The normal practice in the mikvah is to be naked. Here, we are on sacred grounds beneath the mikvah, the energetic source of the mikvah. Your nakedness will inform Those Who Dwell Underground that you are a sacrifice, allowing them to take you and do as they please."

Naomi freezes. She had been following the rabbi's instructions without thinking, guided by his hypnotic words. But now, she recognizes the rabbinic technique of brainwashing being used on her. Realizing the danger, she grabs her taser from her purse and points it at the old man.

"Don’t touch me! I will defend myself!"

She bolts into the darkness, heading for the surface, stumbling over a baby carriage, and not daring to look behind. The rabbi curses and chants behind her, but she’s fast enough to escape his reach. Half-dressed in only her bra, she runs through the cold streets until she reaches Lincoln Terrace Park, a deserted park not far from the synagogue. An hour later, Jannali, who was coming to camp for the night, finds her half-frozen. She gently wraps her own coat around Naomi’s shoulders and brings her back to the hotel. After taking care of Naomi, the team gathers for a special debriefing.

"You should have cracked that motherfucker’s head open,” Tyrone interjects.

"Hold your horses," you say. "We’re not here to say what should or shouldn’t have been done. Besides, that rabbi cast a voice spell effortlessly, so we can conclude he can cast several spells per day and is much more powerful than us."

"What do you think Those Who Dwell Underground refers to?" Father Darragh asks. "I’ve never heard of demons being referred to in such a manner."

"It seems to be a form of censored expression, like how they avoid using the name of God. This could refer to DUMBs, extraterrestrials, or something else. We don’t know what lies in those tunnels, only that they are very deep. It should have been obvious they have residents, too."

Knowledge (politics): DUMBs, or Deep Underground Military Bases, are covert facilities used by the US government for top-secret operations and research.

"May the Lord help us," the priest says, crossing himself. "The rabbi sorcerer spoke of Molech. This is an ancient Semitic deity associated with child sacrifice. Whatever lies below is definitely demonic in nature."

Father Darragh meets with Father Brennan, the Irish bishop of the Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph in Crown Heights, amid the cathedral’s grand, vaulted arches and stained glass windows, where the architectural beauty makes the spirit of God palpable. After a brief chat, the bishop arranges a meeting for him with John Bokun, the leader of the Westies, an Irish gang based in Hell’s Kitchen.

The meeting takes place in Rumours Bar & Grille, a cozy, old-school Irish pub that stays open late. John Bokun, a solidly built man with the physique of a boxer, specializes in loans and the marijuana trade. He sits confidently in a booth, accompanied by a beautiful blonde woman, elegantly dressed in a black evening dress, with a noticeable scar running across her face.

"Order what you want, Father. It’s on me."

"Excellent. I’ll have Irish pork sausages with gravy, and a few Guinness."

The food is delicious, making for a pleasant meal. Their conversation drifts through their shared Irish ancestry and the ongoing feud between the Kinahan and Hutch families back in Ireland.

"You’re nice and all, Father, but tell me, how can I trust you?"

"Jesus said, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also.’ But have you ever seen anyone who actually has the gift of healing?"

"Of course not," the mobster responds. "That kind of thing only happens in movies."

"The young lady here, if I heal her scar, will you trust me?"

The mobster scoffs. "Father, I think you’ve had too many Guinness. But sure, if you can do that, I’ll definitely believe you."

Father Darragh stands and moves beside the lady. "Ma’am, if I may."

He lays his hands near her face, reciting the Pater Noster several times, his voice filled with conviction. After a few moments, a light blue energy begins to emanate from his palms, slowly enveloping the woman's face. As the energy flows, the scar starts to fade, the skin knitting itself back together. When he finally removes his hands, it is clear that her skin has healed and the scar is completely gone. The mobster, unable to contain his shock, spits out his beer, eyes wide with disbelief.

"I was excommunicated from the church for heresy because I rejected the Old Testament as false Jewish Scriptures. On the very day I fully rejected those Scriptures, without any doubt in my heart, I suddenly felt closer to Jesus. That’s when the Spirit bestowed the gift of healing upon me. This is a true miracle, performed only by the true followers of Jesus Christ. It came at the cost of my status and reputation."

The woman checks herself in her pocket mirror and exclaims, "John, it’s true. My face! What the hell!"

"This is not the work of hell, but of heaven," the priest responds. "Now, as for what I wanted from you. It is not much. Only to buy weaponry at a fair price, to help in my crusade against the Jewish devils"

>Interpretation: magnificent doors, desolate tunnels

January 5th, 2024, D-3 until the entrance tunnels are cemented off.

The team is driven by a sense of urgency, as Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky has mentioned sealing off the tunnel entrance to prevent any investigation. Despite this, you have waited one day before entering so that Father Darragh could restore his mana. Jannali has bought basic supplies for survival, mainly water and food, and is carrying your packages. It’s 2 AM, and you’re heading toward the metro station, with the priest’s newly purchased Irish Terrier tagging along, well-behaved and alert. Eun-Ae guides you to a door that opens into a seemingly abandoned maintenance room. The room is cluttered with old, rusting tools, and cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. Another door inside this room leads to a narrow passageway. The passageway is lined with three metal pipes running along the left side, and the floor is crawling with cockroaches. The walls are damp, with mold creeping along the edges, and the air smells of decay.

You follow it south until you arrive in a crudely excavated passage."This looks like the tunnel I was brought into," Naomi says.

You are now in enemy territory, and anything could happen. You proceed cautiously until you arrive where the soiled child-sized mattress lies. "Past that wall is the synagogue’s basement," Naomi says, pointing to the hole in the stone wall.

"That matches up with the map," Eun-Ae confirms. "If we continue walking south, we should hit the interceptor sewer line."

"So, what, it’s just a tunnel and a mattress?" Tyrone asks.

"Let’s keep going," you say. "So far, we know absolutely nothing about what’s going on down here. After all, all the information we have comes from a few tarot readings."

You continue following the tunnel until you arrive at a pair of magnificent double doors. They are carved with a depiction of the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden, their beauty contrasting with the desolate surroundings of the tunnels.

Quest Information

Up until now, I've focused on describing all locations accurately. From this point onward, we'll be venturing into unknown territory, and the environment will be generated using random tables. The system I’m using is much like divination.

Spoiler: IRL, Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky died on June 4, 2024. Consequently, his spirit is free to haunt and interfere with the quest.

For boss battles, we'll switch to tactical mode, where it takes two hits to die unless there's a critical hit, in which case death is instant.

All other battles will be abstracted with a single die roll. If you fail the roll, the character will die. This is brutal but will ensure a faster-paced story.

"So, what are you going to name the doggie?" Tyrone asks.

"He should be named Goldi," you answer, "in honor of Adolf Hitler."

"I was thinking more about St. Patrick," Father Darragh says. "St. Patrick banished snakes from Ireland, and it would bring us good fortune."

Eun-Ae looks at them, annoyed. "Guys, can you stop the useless banter? I’m trying to concentrate on my work."

Father Darragh moves closer to the door and examines the engraving. "Hold on, Eun-Ae. Don’t touch anything yet. By St. Patrick! There’s a snake in this depiction. Is this meant to represent Jews?"

He runs his hand across the wooden surface.

Eun-Ae says, "Perhaps it is meant to be pressed? I have seen a similar device in a mansion once."

The priest ponders, "Maybe. Regardless, I don’t think Jews perceive themselves as snakes. It’s how we perceive them. Likewise, they wouldn’t associate with the forbidden fruit, because they think of themselves as good followers of God." He pauses. "We have to think like a Jew to understand the symbolism. The logical culmination of their religion is Frankism, the reversal of all moral norms. It’s based on Frankism that Jews created the sexual revolution and the pornographic industry. When seeing the scene of the Garden of Eden, a Frankist’s attention would be on Eve’s sexual parts, and he would think about defiling her. This is how the serpent is thinking."

Knowledge (theology): Frankism is a Jewish movement from the 18th century, led by Jacob Frank, promoting the inversion of religious and moral norms.

He presses on Eve’s pubic hair, and the part sinks into the wood as a mechanism activates.

"Fuck! Everyone step back," Eun-Ae yells.

Slowly, the door opens. She examines it carefully for several minutes. "If I had picked the lock, or if Father Darragh had pressed the wrong part of the scene, it would have activated a fireball trap. And we would have all been burned to ash. Good job, Father, but next time, let me examine the device before you press anything."

Inside is a small room, not wide enough for everyone to stand in comfortably, with damp, concrete walls and a musty smell. In the center of the floor, there’s a circular metal grate, and directly below it is a vertical tube descending into the darkness. The tube has an old, narrow ladder bolted to its side. The walls of the tube are smooth and slightly moist, and the ladder's rungs are cold and slippery to the touch. Even with the light of your Maglite, you can barely see the bottom.

"Let me try something," Father Darragh says. He wraps his rope around the torchlight and slowly lowers it down the tunnel. After approximately 30 feet, it hits the bottom.

"So, how are we going down this? It’s probably trapped too."
