Charles Muhsuhtuq Hotel

The Charles Muhsuhtuq Hotel is a location found within the Commonwealth in 2287. It is located immediately south of the Cambridge Construction Site and directly north of Monsignor Plaza in the city formerly known as Cambridge.
== Background==
Before the Great War of 2077, Cambridge was a major suburb of Boston. It is a sprawl of college structures, new constructions, and old homes dating well before the 21st century. The Charles Muhsuhtuq Hotel is one such of the latter, and records before the war suggest the original structure’s first floor was built around the 1800s as a library. The construction of more floors began in 1916 when it was purchased to be converted into a hotel. Many delays plagued the transition to a hotel, and while the construction of more floors was finished in 1930 it led to the bankruptcy of the owners. Since then several companies purchased and attempted to renovate the building, although their subsequent bankruptcies have led to various myths and rumors of a curse plaguing the building. 
In 2068 the building was purchased by a shell corporation of Dunwich Borers LLC. Officially this corporation was to refurbish the building into a functional hotel, however in truth it held a much darker secret. Some time in the late 2050s Constance Blackhall became aware of something buried beneath the site, since before even the original 1800s construction. Still grieving the loss of her husband to the New Plague in 2058, she relayed this to her brother Richard Dunwich, owner of the Dunwich Company. By 2068 the siblings had the building within their grasp and set to work with their plans for excavation. In order to get the specialty drilling equipment to this site, supplies were first shipped to the nearby Dunwich Borers and then discreetly moved to the hotel. To give the illusion that refurbishment was actually being done on the building, the seventh, eighth, and ninth floors were repaired and furnished. These three floors were later used by the Dunwich and Blackhall’s inner-circle while visiting this site as well as Dunwich Borers, with Constance Blackhall notably having a room of her own. 
In 2079, Blackhall made one final visit to the hotel. She had travelled from Point Lookout to Boston in order to reclaim a book that had been stolen from her, and looted the hotel for military equipment the Dunwich Company had hidden here “just in case”. 
As of 2287 it is unknown exactly what, if anything, the Dunwich Company found here. A door within the basement remains completely sealed, but perhaps a resourceful scavenger or survivor might find a way past this barrier…
== Layout==
The hotel is entered through the main floor lobby, where a grand chandelier hangs over the dimly lit reception desk and a well-furnished sitting area. To one's immediate right after entering the lobby, an Advanced locked office contains a working terminal along with a revolutionary sword, a colonial hat, and the unique antique suit. Behind the reception desk an Expert locked security gate contains a suit of security armor and three security helmets, as well as some ammunition and miscellaneous supplies. Two elevators can be found on this floor, with one leading to the ninth floor seating area. The other elevator shaft is locked with a key and requires a one-way, precarious jump down scaffolding to the basement floor.
The top floor seating area contains several bottles of unopened wine, an exit to the building’s rooftop outdoor seating area, and a staircase down to the hotel’s bar. The bar and its kitchen have been picked clean, but a functional radio wafts old 1930s big band and jazz music through the air. A large hole in the bar’s floor leads to the seventh floor and Constance Blackhall’s room, which contains the unique Constance’s outfit, several notes, a key to the second elevator shaft, and the disturbing imagery of some type of ritual.
The basement is quite small and sparse, containing only a small stash of weapons and a sealed off door to deeper within the building.
==Notes==
*The Charles Muhsuhtuq Hotel is named for the two rivers it is situated between, the Charles and Mystic rivers. Interestingly the hotel uses the original aboriginal Wampanoag word Muhs-uhtuq for the northern river, rather than the English butchered name of “mystic”.
