For all that talking we did at the table, it was ultimately decided to ignore the task of retrieving a book from the catskills and head off to the next target. Moira did some sort of ritual that gave her some insight into events deeper than my bone-rolling could offer and lets us know where the next town to be targeted was.
Alanna wanted to set out right away and not bother with the job Loki gave us. She and I got into it. Her solution was to just kill the professor and not waste time. I'm sorry, but what the hell? Outright murder someone? Is this woman completely amoral? According to Moira, it's all the Morrigan's "rearing methods" fault. My arguments that pissing off the Norse trickster God would be a bad idea also seemed to fall on deaf ears. Finally I managed to let Alanna give me a few minutes to convince the professor he was wrong and we could be on our way.
It was a simple matter to convince the professor that I was a fellow scholar and convince him his results with the Kensington Stone were wrong and set him on his quest for answers all over again.
We drove to the town and we stopped at a seedy hotel where Alanna had some personal business to take care of . She was out to off her grandfather who'd killed her father. Yes, I'm a little annoyed. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind that she's getting revenge for murder with murder, but it's okay for her to do her mother's personal errand but not my dad's? I think she just wants to spite Loki, regardless of the consequences.
So, I sat in the car where Moira and chatted about how messed up Alanna is. Alanna seemed to think I needed a talking to about "necessary evils". Did line's get crossed somewhere? Even Moira seemed to think I was mad about her wanting to kill her grandfather, but it was the willingness to murder the professor that had me angry.
Anyway, Alanna and Tetsuko came back after a couple of minutes, telling us to evacuate the hotel. So, Moira and I got people running off and we drove away. Then the upper floor of the hotel exploded. Just what the hell happened up there?
