Wing Cong Headquarters
The Wing Cong Headquarters is also the home of the Tong's boss.
The general description is given on the main adventure page - what's
here is a bare-bones room by room description. Feel free to flesh it
out as you like.
Floor 1
Notes
- Lobby. Scruffy painted walls, a battered desk and a few
posters on the walls. Two mooks, dressed as security guards
- Security backup. A scarred table littered with empty takeaway
food cartons, some battered easy chairs and another 4-6 mooks
sitting round smoking and talking.
- "Sitting around" room. Tables and chairs where tong members
come to sit, smoke, drink and play mah-jong. This room smells very
strongly of old beer and cigarette smoke. There are usually some
mooks here.
- Kitchen. Used mostly to reheat food from the night market and
to make tea - the fridge is filled with beers. empty cans, and
empty takeaway food cartons litter the bench
- Office. Used to transact routine tong business - taking in
payoffs from merchants, discussing minor business. The grey metal
filing cabinets are mostly empty and contain nothing particularly
incriminating.
- WC - standard office building toilet setup.
- Chem lab. This, on the other hand is VERY incriminating - the
door is kept locked. A fairly clean and well set up lab, used for
producing methedrine for sale in the US. There are plenty of
flammables in here, if you know what to look for, and hidden in a
drawer a couple of red distress flares - if there is ever a police
raid, the chemist is supposed to spill some acetone, throw a flare
and the room will be an inferno in seconds, destroying any
evidence.
- Bedroom. Fairly spartan, with an iron-framed bed, a wardrobe,
easy chair and a grey metal filing cabinet (locked) holding some
whiskey, and a collection of pornographic magazines. This is where
the chemist sleeps - he works nights a lot.
- Bunkroom. Just a collection of iron-frame beds, the tong
bought up cheap somewhere. No-one actually lives here, it is
simply a place for members to sleep if they need a place for a few
days, are hiding from the cops or are too drunk to walk home.
- Storage. A cupboard empty except for some mops and
buckets
- Electrical cupboard. Fuses and power boards - a clever player
could plunge the place into darkness here....
- Loading dock. Mostly used as safe place for the boss to park
his expensive Mercedes. There are several crates of stolen TVs
awaiting pickup
- Graveled yard - used basically as junk storage - old tyres,
truck parts, non-working TVs and boxes of empty bottles.
Second Floor
Notes
- Meeting room. This is where the tong transacts its business -
only senior members sit at the table, the rest stand. This room is
somewhat cleaner than the rest, and has poster with Chinese
characters exhorting the readers to be loyal and develop strong
moral character. There is a water cooler and a large metal cabinet
used to store plates and glasses, for big dinners (the food is
cooked upstairs)
- Small meeting room - where the underboss or the boss's
lieutenants meets visitors not deemed important enough to come
upstairs.
- Bunkroom. Just a collection of iron-frame beds, the tong
bought up cheap somewhere. No-one actually lives here, it is
simply a place for members to sleep if they need a place for a few
days, are hiding from the cops or are too drunk to walk home.
There are often some mooks sitting around here, smoking and lying
about women.
- Armoury. A collection of battered metal cabinets (locked)
holding a variety of small arms and ammunition.
- Office. This is where the Boss's lieutenants do most of the
tong's business - accounts, meeting people, dealing with
inter-tong disputes, hearing complaints, etc. The three (locked)
filing cabinets hold plenty of information on the tong's dealings,
but mostly petty crime (prostitution, pay offs and so on - not the
names of major contacts, or anything dealing with serious crimes
like murder)
- Tong Shrine - a shrine with a picture of the founder of the
tong, and photos honouring past members, more scrolls exhorting
moral behaviour and some low tables with bowls of sand holding
incense sticks. There are a couple of polearms and flags leaning
up against the wall.
- A large expensive TV sits on a low table, facing some chairs.
There are usually some mooks sitting in here.
- Storage. Right now full of crates of cheap radios. When the
next lot of drugs are ready, they will be packed inside radio
cases, hidden in the middle of a mass of real radios, and taken to
the docks for shipping.
- Air conditioning and generator - emergency power for the
building if the power is cut off from outside.
Third Floor
Notes
- Antechamber. Thick red carpet, wood-panelled walls, carven
doors and Chinese paintings on the wall.
- Receiving room. Finely appointed furniture, Chinese sculpture
and vases on low tables, paintings and scrolls on the walls. Where
the tong boss greets those guest important enough for his
attention, or his lieutenants meet other favoured visitors.
- Shrine. A better-appointed version of the one downstairs
- Dining room. Large lacquered table, fine chairs and tasteful
scrolls on the walls. Where the tong boss entertains other tong
notables and his rivals and colleagues in crime
- Kitchen. Large kitchen with lots of stainless steel. It looks
like a restaurant kitchen, with a large fridge freezer. Not a lot
of food storage since food is bought fresh daily by the servants.
Plenty of cleavers, pots, and glassware!
- Servants' Room. Where the boss's two servants sleep when they
are not cleaning or serving food and drink. Simply but tastefully
appointed. the servants are devoted to the tong so will be
uncooperative if captured, but are elderly normals so will flee
combat if at all possible
- TV room. Where the Boss relaxes with his friends and
lieutenants. the "Chinese high art" style of the public rooms on
this floor is muted in favour of a large stereo, TV, video and
cushy leather chairs.
- Office. This corner office is where the boss's lieutenants
conduct the most serious tong business - the locked filing cabinet
is of high quality steel and rigged to explode if the draws are
forced (2d6 RKA, explosive). It holds plenty of incriminating
evidence on Tong partners.
- Boss's Study. The boss's private withdrawing room and library.
His tastes in literature run from popular novels through books on
police procedure, law case books and management technique books
from Japan.
- Boss's bed room and bathroom. Pretty self-explanatory - also
lavishly furnished in a more western style than the public
rooms.
- Office. The office next to the stairs is where money coming in
is tallied and money going out, dispensed. Cash on hand is stored
in a heavily armoured strongbox hidden behind a secret door
disguised as a painting. The strongbox also holds the most
important tong documents - membership names, important contacts
and so on, as well as stolen jewellery and spare drugs.
- Balcony. Iron railings to waist height, downward point
stanchions below the balcony holding strands of barbed wire to
discourage climbers. Above this floor is a flat concrete roof,
reachable by a ladder from the balcony
