The present: Johnny Diamond is still a guest of the Imperial Eye in Tour Vauban, but Winterberry keeps him company. Doc Celyddon and Sebastien investigate the death of Carl Lutz, former head waiter at the Cafe Azure Americain. The trail leads to the chairman of the Camaret-sur-Mer chapter of the French Section of the Communist International (SFIC), Pierre Naville. They learn that Naville hired a necromancer to pressure Diamond into not investigating the Bonnaire will, but that something went wrong. They head to the palatial estate of the necromancer himself, Morten Grunwald, who is surprisingly forthcoming about his role in the death of Carl Lutz. Diamond and Sebastien are then visited by Anna Petronevich, Deputy Director of the Société Impériale de Thaumaturgie, who asks them to find a way to get Johnny Diamond released from the DST. Sebastien wants to stay off of the Imperial Eye's radar, but Doc Celyddon is already a person of interest, so he has nothing to lose. Doc Celyddon visits Wilhelm von Kortzfleisch and suggests that Diamond may give away more information if he is freed. Von Kortzfleisch agrees, and releases Diamond. | |||

Gaston Ghrenassia is behind the whole thing. He had done extensive work for the Bonnaire family, and had thought that he was a family friend. When Ghrenassia announced his intention to run for the office of City Clerk of Camaret-sur-Mer, he expected Patrice Bonnaire to back his election -- but that didn't happen. Patrice Bonnaire put him off and put him off, never really giving him a solid answer. Even Sabine Bonnaire disappointed him. She promised to speak at a fundraiser for his campaign, but she never showed up (she simply forgot about it, and went to Athens, instead). As revenge on the Bonnaire family, Ghrenassia reached out to the Pied-noir faction of the Milieu, and had them plant a forged will in the offices of Favarel & Associés, who had been the attorneys for the Bonnaires until there was a falling out between Patrice Bonnaire and Serge Favarel (now deceased). The signature on the will is actually Patrice Bonnaire's signature -- it from a contract for pine straw that Ghrenassia drew up for Bonnaire years ago. However, the original contract has been chemically erased, and Ghrenassia used the paper to write the new will, dating it to five months before Bonnaire's death -- the date the city elections were held (which is always on a Sunday in France). | Gaston Ghrenassia is behind the whole thing.

Magic, mystery, and guns in 1960s Europe.
Setting
Camaret-sur-Mer is the setting of Rough Magic, a film noir role-playing game of magic, mystery, and guns. Fog enshrouded cobblestone streets wind between Camaret-sur-Mer's tall art deco and gothic skyscrapers, and mysterious figures skulk beneath gargoyles, ornate ledges, and other architectural flourishes. Disreputable characters on streetcorners sell cheap amulets and potions to those who want love, protection, or success. In the sky above, grand passenger zeppelins carry the well-to-do to far off ports like St. Petersburg, Istanbul, and New York. In the city below, the monorail connects Camaret-sur-Mer to the rest of the Empire, from Berlin to Rome, from Paris to London.

It's a memorial service for Patrice Bonnaire, and everyone's invited. Two new characters (Sergio, played by Craig, and Wilhelm von Kortzfleisch, played by Udo Kier) make their debut. Johnny Diamond trades bon mots with Sabine Bonnaire. Carol leans that investigator Racheboeuf of the DST has the Deputy Director of the SIT in his sights. Doc Celyddon and Sergio overhear Sabine getting the bad news that her father has a second will that cuts her out of his fortune. The next morning, Johnny Diamond learns that investigator Racheboeuf of the DST has been cut into ten thousand pieces and dumped in the Place de l'Espérance, a pedestrian square located in Camaret-sur-Mer's Prefecture district.

Johnny Diamond is approached by Benjamin Bonnaire, who wants to prove that his father's "new" will is a fraud. Doc Celyddon is invited to a meeting with Kemal Reis, who demands recompense for the death of Bernard Gerard ("the Count"). Carol is apprehended by the Imperial Eye, and interrogated by Wilhelm von Kortzfleisch, who appears to believe that Johnny Diamond had something to do with the theft of the DST courier bag and the death of Samuel Racheboeuf, Investigator for the DST. However, she is released from custody due to the intervention of the Deputy Director of the SIT, Anna Petronevich. Johnny is accosted by an unkempt man (Pierre Naville), who demands that Johnny not investigate the "new" will of Patrice Bonnaire. Finally, Johnny and Carole have an early dinner with Sabine Bonnaire and her new friend, "Marcel" (Raphael).

Johnny Diamond is approached by Sahar Kian Afshar, an investigator for attorneys Bailey, Dykstra, Ehrlich, and Vega. She (on behalf of her employers) wants him to cease investigation into the wills. The PCs discover that the new will was found in the files of Serge Favarel, founder of Favarel & Associés. Serge Favarel has since passed away, leaving the firm to his partner, Stéphane Maupard, and his daughter, Marie Favarel. Later, Johnny Diamond is abducted by the DST, questioned, and thrown into a small stone room with no windows, lights, or furniture. Finally, Doc Celyddon and Carole go to check on Carl, who left some urgent messages for Johnny Diamond, and arrive at Carl's house just after he is killed by a necromantic apparition.
