The Lodge is on grounds formally titled "The Waynesly Charter Club at Parkville." It's seemingly a very standard country club, most of its square footage golf green or gardens.
The stone wall surrounding the grounds is very low - only six feet high. Trees planted at the edges also try to obscure the doings within. It's well known that a secret society not unlike the Masons meets here, and that group is known as The Lodge, though sometimes the place and the organization are mixed up in the minds of Parkvillians.

Ian and Beef stood in the parking lot, wondering what to do next.

"Maybe we should watch and see what happens... Maybe it doesn't have to do with the cult and we can be all quiet-like." He says thoughtfully. He did bring a lighter, but that was all really. "..We need evidence if the police is going to catch them for anything, like poisoning people. What if we called the police here when we are sure something goes on, and don't cause a fuss?" "What did she say about the occult stuff?" He asks, frowning. "...I bet it is..it must be." He stares into the darkness.

Ian- "We wanna get in. I'm gonna die dude. Call me superstitious, but I bet Halloween is significant, like we're all gonna be dead by midnight - except you, of course..."

He puts an arm around Ian. "You're not going to die. Let's climb that fence and put an end to this."

Ian- "Ugh. Thanks man.... Hey, I wanna call Lucy and find out if there's anything we're missing out on since we've been running around. There's a pay phone..." He heads to a walled off utility area with a power station, near the gate. It has a small payphone on the outside. He looks at Beef earnestly while waiting for the phone. It doesn't ring long. Ian- "Hello? It's Ian." "No one home but we had an idea... Maybe her family has more to do with this than we thought... That secret society. We're at The Lodge right now." "Yeah, all that occult stuff she said... it's like her family religion, not just teenage hijinx." "I just wanna know what you guys know, and let you know what we think, but we're about to hop the wall here." "Well, I don't know, but we're all under the gun, and can't wait... I gotta find out if we can stop this." "Yeah, you know, Beef is a bad-ass, and I'm fast at least. We'll stay out of sight if we can..." "No, I- Just, OK, send someone if you want, but we're gonna do this. Did you find out if anyone else is dying?" "We're all gonna die by midnight, I bet, unless... I'm gonna go." "Sure, of course, just - be safe, Lucy. I care about you." "Bye."

Beef waits quietly. "Hey, maybe we should call the cops while we're at the payphone yeah? At the worst they'll think we're idiots, but this is serious buisness...also look, illegal drugs...I'll do it, I bet they won't think I'm lying...oh wait they will. You call the cops...won't you?"

Ian- "No... Not yet. Let's go." He jogged over some lawn near the inner wall, looking for a safely obscure spot to go over.

Beef certainly did not FEEL badass, but he looks for somewhere to jump over out of sight too.

They find a spot near the club house and throw themselves up partway, to where they can look in - and see people. They flop back down hoping they didn't get seen, and kept moving. Ian- "Too close to the building... fuckin' A..." They got to a new spot and leapt up, clambering on top of the wall. It was wide enough to comfortably stand on. The inside part of the wall was higher than the outside - like the club was inside a low bowl. They jogged the length a short bit and found a tree that made getting down easy. They were on a golfing green, in bushes near the edge.

Beef would try to get as close as possible, to the point he might be able to hear them under the windows. This was concerning, but he was also excited. He motioned to Ian subtly, and then his eyes flicked to the windows.

Ian nodded agreement, but got close enough to whisper. Ian- "I wanna do as much as I can before security throws us out, so if we don't hear nothin', let's check the rest of the grounds - away from the crowd." They got low and went right up beside the building. they were on the least used side of it, though really a servant on a smoke break or anyone at all might walk out randomly and find them. They were tense. The conversations within were muffled. "... new boat, you know? The hundred footer is just so... old." "Beluga caviar" "Geordi and Bianca went to" "His manservant was so..."

Beef listens carefully, and seems to pay attention to the conversations within, no matter what is going on. Maybe something more relevant would happen soon.

They listened for a solid three minutes until Ian broke away, too agitated to be patient. He went jogging back to the more rustic quarters of the country club.

Beef watches him go, and seems worried. What if they strike now? He continues to listen because something might happen! Something! He looks over his shoulder at where Ian went. He was worried. He was very worried.
