Additional Game Background: Guatemala Govt & LoN Commitee[spoiler]
Some OOC questions:
1) Do we have any information on our employers and their organisation the League of Nations?
2) What do we know about the political situation in Guatemala. Who rules? How is his relationship with the Germans?
1)League Recent history:
...As the situation in Europe deteriorated into war, the Assembly transferred enough power to the Secretary General on 30 September 1938 and 14 December 1939 to allow the League to continue to legally exist and to carry on reduced operations. The headquarters of the League, the Palace of Peace, remains unoccupied.
In this version of history, a secret multi-national committee was formed to key a close eye on the Nazis interest in the occult. You'd been contacted by mail, then members of the committee came to meet with you. Any looking into the background of these men has shown them to be legitimate members of the LoN and prominent in their own countries as well.Though the LoN is clearly faltering in strength at this point, some members are still striving to do what they can for humanity.
2) Guatemalan Knowledge:
Once the site of the impressive ancient Mayan civilization, Guatemala was conquered by Spanish conquistador Pedro de Alvarado in 1524 and became a republic in 1839 after the United Provinces of Central America collapsed. From 1898 to 1920, dictator Manuel Estrada Cabrera ran the country, and from 1931 to 1944, Gen. Jorge Ubico Castaneda served as strongman.
Much of South America was friendly towards the Nazis, in this version of history I'm extending it into Guatemala. Jorge Ubico Castaneda has no problem allowing Nazis on Guatemalan soil. Greed and Strength are high up on this dictator's list.

2. The Market Bazaar - [spoiler]The market bazaar has taken over the main road of Puerta de Santa Boca. Throngs of people weave in and out as they go about buying and selling wares. Along the walls of the buildings, booths have been set up. These booths sell anything ranging from Livestock to Mayan trinkets. The Bazaar area is ripe with human body odor. The humidity makes you feel as if the stench is sticking to you as well.
Many booths and stores carry much of the same thing. The prices listed are the best prices offered amongst the traders.

The Office is a really just a waiting room with a desk. It is dusty and dry. There is a rusting fan blowing air at a sweating over-weight Guatemalan man. He sits in a wooden chair. Behind him the wall is lined with filing cabinets in various shapes of repair.
There is a bulletin board on the wall near the entrance, quite a number of messages in a variety of languages are tacked into place. [BULLETIN BOARD:

Orino Perro[spoiler]
ORINO PERRO ~ Places of note:2. Some congealed soup in a cook pot over a long dead fire, flies buzz all around it, and crawl about stepping out of each others way or flying off when facing another, a brief peek inside the pot reveals a squirming moldy surface.
The place was well-maintained, if sparse. A single bed was built into the wall. Below it a low-closet door hung open, inside herbs hung to dry.
3. "Everything is smashed up in this place!" It is clear that there were signs of a struggle in this shack; the fabric door-hanging lay on the ground, torn from its place. A wooden table laid in 3 sections, shattered. A fire pit was also in this room, but it looks like someone had kicked through it. Dead coals lay scattered in an array out from the pit.
3 Mules had been brought into this building as per Loder's instructions.
4.11. The noises continue from inside. The sound of things being knocked aside. Once the entire shack seemed to shake, Richard had to grab at the roof to not fall off. Something somewhat large was inside, but thanks to the hanging curtained door and windows, there was no way to see what lurked just beyond. The sound of metal-- a tin clunking sound can be heard jangling occasionally.12. A hanging blanket in the door. A hard packed dirt floor. There is one window per side of the house except for the side with the door.The furnishings are spare. A wooden table. 3 stools each made from a section of cut log. A simple wooden bed with a lumpy mattress covered in colorful woven blankets, a hammock hanging in the corner. On the floor in the center of the shack a fire pit has been dug. It is currently filled with the ashy remains of its last use. A wooden toy, carved to look like a dog lays on the floor nearby.
13. The interior looked messed up. Furniture in disarray and toppled over. There definitely was a struggle in this room. As with other homes, this place to had a fire pit in the center of the living space.
18. Nothing special. As if the people that had lived in them had simply walked away.
21. Nothing special. As if the people that had lived in them had simply walked away.
28. The Grateful Goat tavern
The bar has perhaps six round tables, each with at least four chairs. One table is overturned near the far back of the establishment. At current there is the dirty unconscious form of the chief's son Muta laying next to the bar. And a dead man, laying in his own decomposition behind where the overturned table is. The stench is horrendous. All 6 donkeys, are inside. The horse is tied to a hitch outside.
w. The Well
It's a well. It is deep. There is water at the bottom. A wooden bucket tied to a slimy rope sits in attendance.
26. Village Chief's home
29 The Dock
The dock was a series of logs, cut down from the forest and tied together using heavy twine, also likely made from the plants in the forest. It was a good dock. Sturdy.
There were no boats of any kind moored to the dock. Nor any visible to ether direction of the river, at least as far as Eisen and Max could see before the rivers natural twists made it impossible to see what was around the bend.
The water itself was a brown color. It flowed from east to west, and somewhere to the north it joined with the Pasion River, or so Bones had said once during the journey to Orino Perro.[/spoiler]
