Captain Braunsfeld Posted February 11, 2023 Chapter 2: (Still at Quaker Street 9 3/4) - see previous chapter. Sholmes: “What exactly did your butler say?” Rushinthought: “He said that I had taken the bag with the money myself. But, of course, I hadn’t.” Sholmes: “I accept the case. Can we take a look at the crime scene?” Rushinthought: "Yes, yes, of course." (A few minutes later at the home of Lord Rushinthought) Sholmes: “Here we are now. Entertain us!” Rushinthought: "Yes, yes, certainly. This is my study. This is where it happened. When I came back from the horse races I put all the money on this table. Then I left to the city for further business . And when I came home, it was gone.” Dr. Sonwat: “I think we should talk to the butler.” Sholmes: “So you are the butler?” Butler: “Yes, Sir.” Sholmes: “What is your name? Butler: “My name is Thomas. I spell it Fdaines.” Sholmes: “I deduct that you must be from celtic origin.” Butler: “No, I am just bad at spelling.” Dr. Sonwat: “Tell us exactly what happened to the bag that Lord Rushinthought had placed here.” Butler: “Certainly, Sir. But that was very simple and straightforward.” (The butler describes in great detail what he had witnessed.) Butler: “Just a few minutes after he had left, the master returned. I was just cleaning the study.” Sholmes: “What happened then?” Butler: “The master gave me a nod so much as to appreciate my work, went to the table and took the bag that was lying there.” Dr. Sonwat: “And then?” Butler: “Then the master left again and I continued to clean the study.” Sholmes: “And what happened after that?” Butler: “Then the master returned home again and asked me where I had put the bag. But, of course, he had taken it away himself.” Rushinthought: “I most certainly had not!” Sholmes: “Fascinating. Robert, how long has Fdaines been in your service?” Rushinthought: “For more than 15 years now.” Sholmes: “And his service was always impeccable?” Rushinthought: “Yes, yes. But now he has gone mad, as you all have heard!” Sholmes: “Fascinating.” Dr. Sonwat (to the butler): “Did you know what was in the bag?” Butler: “Of course not. I do not spy onto my master.” Sholmes: “Robert, I think the bag with your money was stolen – but not by your butler.” Rushinthought: “But then how did it happen?” Sholmes: “This is what I will soon find out!” (to be continued) This episode's hidden song reference: Spoiler "Here we are now.

NOD Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) Exciting and interesting second part. A very nicely built study. The elegant table and the secretary desk show that the lord is a wealthy man. The thief is a master of masquerade. He masqueraded as Rushinthought and stole the bag. The dressing was almost perfect. But when he stole the bag, he was wearing beige pants and boots. This is also explained in the prelude at the beginning of chapter 1.: A man in his home. He hears a noise and turns. "Who are you?" The man was startled when he saw the face. It was like looking in a mirror and seeing himself. Who is the master thief? Where is he? How can you catch someone who is so good at masking?

Thanks. I am trying to stick to the "new chapter every weekend" formula. (This might get tough when the story demands larger buildings...) On 2/11/2023 at 7:16 PM, Yperio_Bricks said: More, more!!

Garmadon Posted March 15, 2023 Ooh, the plot begins to unfold - that's a lovely room, by the way! (well both of them, but I meant the blue one ) The windows are great, and the quarter tiles work so nicely as well, so great that you angled the walls for a better scene too! It's almost unnoticeable, but it makes it so much more alive than ninety degree angles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most sets are just backdrops and should not be viewed from different angles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
