[ The founders who wanted to decide who was "worthy" of saving were probably trying to keep riffraff like this out, tbh. ]
Just think of it as one big tabletop campaign with us as the adventurers and Vanderweele as the Dungeon Master that we have to defeat: the first step towards finding his boss character is to gather more information about where he's actually located. That's something that Zee, who's something of an NPC in this game, is probably working on already, so staying in touch with him -- and, by extension, keeping him alive this time -- is going to be pretty important.
[ What a goddamned nerd.
But it's the easiest way for him to approach the problem at hand. ]
However, that doesn't mean that we can't still contribute towards that important first step -- it's just a matter of, as others have already mentioned, gaining access to Retrospec headquarters, as that's most likely where Vanderweele is going to be hiding... but only after we've built up some kind of army, of course.
Unfortunately, recruitment is something that's going to require people skills that I simply don't have no matter how riled up I might be over both Retrospec and Vanderweele... that being said, I do have some magic at my disposal now that I can fight back with when the time comes.
I'm also not opposed to breaking into the Retrospec building by whatever means necessary.
[ Finally, his former pickpocketing habit is going to come in handy! ]
