"We should rest for now. Nothing significant has change at the casino, and there likely won't u til we crash in to make waves. When we do, I've finished instruct instructing the White Lady on how to mask your presence. It won't last for long, so I hope you make good use of it."
The night comes to an end. A few hours ago, three of you were in prison. One of you were captured and arrested. Now each of you are getting ready to infiltrate a casino and find the enigmatic leader of the criminal organization. The sun rises and plays on your windows. The radio alarm begins playing the weather report. Tomorrow will be another hot day.

The man walks out of the bathroom, towel around his neck, clean and refreshed for the day ahead.

"You. Check what's happening in the casino right now." He told the little girl's spirit, who obediently fled the motel for her destination.

"Breach, I trust you're prepared for the day?" He asked of his temporary roommate, the alien and fey-creature having used the other room.

"I suppose so," Breach says. "Not sure what our plan is yet though. For all we know, the bosses aren't even on the premises."

The little girl gives a slight whimper before your will overrides hers. She quickly makes her way to the casino. It is bright outside and the glass front shines. From outside, you see several people in front. Two people are manning the front desk of "Quantum Investments". Both are young women, dressed professionally. There are three men, large security types. [OOC: Perception DC 15. They are armed with uzis and one has a shotgun.] There is another man, hispanic and young. He wears his $1000 suit like a used car salesman. From the demeanor of the others, he seems to have some level of respect.

"Our prospects as of late have been lackluster. Remember to do a bit of vetting before you pass someone on to me. The last few fighters haven't lasted very long."

"Sorry Mr. Herrera." The woman of vaguely Asian features said.

"Please. Call me Quinn."

"Yes sir."

"Also, do we know if our security man has come in yet?"

One of the guards spoke this time. He was a tall, bodybuilder type, and seemed to be naturally on edge. "Trevor Illesly hasn't come in yet. A few of his contractors are her though. They are putting up some more of that heavy plating stuff today. They are supposed to finish the downstairs. Also, the guys painting the weird symbol crap are supposed to start in the arena."

"I told that... I told the staff to avoid that arena. I don't want the painters to get in the way of a good show."

"We need to do it eventually. The longer we wait, the longer they will be here. It can get expensive."

"Just... Tell Mr. Freedman to avoid disrupting my business operations."

Assuming all this was relayed to her, Breach says, "Do you think this Quinn Herrera is a boss or an underling?"

"Damnit, they must be the warders..." Vincent mumbled to himself after he finished talking, thinking back to what the man said about the 'weird symbol crap'. "Hm? Ah. Well, if he's not the boss then he' certainly higher up. Hmm... Perhaps some local spirits know a thing or two about him. If you give me some time I'll see about asking around."

The spirit of the girl continues to observe, her master having not though to change her orders yet.

Poltergeist begins to mutter a few words of a familiar incantation. A quick ping comes into his consciousness. It is the fighter from last night. Apparently he did not survive his bout last night. There are several spirits like him. Desperate in life, restless in death, they all know the man you ask about. His name is Quinn Herrera. He is the most visible of the managers of the casino. In charge of the talent portion of the fighting ring. He is the one who promises up and coming fighters from all over Los Calido money for just a little bit of their effort and blood. It rarely ends well for them though. Most survive the bouts, with varying levels of injuries. For those who do not, they are cleaned up and room is made for the next fighters. It is expensive to keep finding new talent, but it is also very lucrative for those who can survive more than one bout.

[OOC: Make an investigation check against DC 15/20]

He cups a hand to his chin, momentarily ceasing his talking at nothing to talk to Breach instead. "He's a talent about for the fights the casino hosts, as well as one it's more visible managers. Seems he has trouble keeping a constint throng of fighters that actually survive past their initial bouts. Hm... We might have an in for our alien companion, who just so happens to be a tad bit biologically immortal."

He continues to probe the spirits for some more information, curious just what else it may reveal.

Investigation: 20(dead on the mark)

You manage to find a fighter from the early days of the casino. During those days, Quintero Herrara (later called Quinn) also ran the casino portion. He isn't the main leader of the casino, but the fighter once heard a conversation between him and another individual. While the fighter doesn't remember the conversation, he remembers than Quinn knew the name of the main leader.

[OOC: For the DC 20] You also manage to get the fighter to tell him how he died. Unlike many other fighters there, this one was killed because of the conversation he listened in to. The person who killed him was Omar Freedman. At the time he was the ex-leader of a gang. Not much else is known about him except he was in charge of security at the time. Most fighters die by being bludgeoned. This one was shot in the face. It shows in his spirit form.

"So we need to get Quinn to talk or just finger him and hope that's enough," Breach says. "Do you think me trying to fight would be helpful for getting more info?"

He shakes his head, "Not looking at you to fight, but our big brutish alien friend in the other room. She described herself as 'immortal', yes? Then that's exactly the type of talent this Quintero is looking for. If she wins big, then we might have something we can exploit." He waves his hand around, "Such as, for instance, getting some alone time with the man so that you might... 'work your magic'."

*Knock Knock*

Scylla's voice rings through the door. "Oh no. I seem to have misplaced my clothes! I hope someone opens this door before I am seen."

When the door is opened, both Scylla and Massari are present, and fortunately fully clothed. Massari asks, "Ssssooo... Do we have a plan? I am ok if you want me to, how do you say? improvise?" Massari smiles wide.

"We have the start of one. How do you feel about doing some prize fighting? Seems that dying is part of the risk too, so you might enjoy that." Vincent asked without looking up from the notebook in hand. He was going over the sketched map of the casino areas he could locate again, along with some of the notes he made about the notable staff.

"That soundsss delightful. I was getting bored with always being put aside. Just to be, as you humans would say, clear, I am allowed to kill these people? Is eating permitted? Weapons? There are many fights, and I am good with all of them." Massari purred with delight.

"I don't know if weapons are allowed. But eating is certainly not allowed," Breach says. "Killing, as long as you don't do it after you win, is probably fine. In other words, if they are down and out already, killing is probably not okay. But if they are still fighting and you manage a killing blow, that's just fighting."
