Shadows

If I'm right, that page wasn't written by Faisser but by whoever originally took the treasure from wherever it was before. It seems to have a history of leading to madness. Sometimes, I can almost feel it myself, but just a tiny bit. *tosses the found ruby into the corner* That's better. Ooooh, upstairs door!

Lt. Cmdr. Susan Antares, checking in. It's funny, I don't remember a pumpkin being assigned to this crew...

... and done!

Right! The basement! That's where the treasure has to be! Just before everything went dark, I privately asked the Father to let me read the last few pages of the journal, and as I have a photographic memory, I'll quote them now: "13th June, 1886: My guides refuse to continue on, seemingly concerned for their safety as we near the sacred temple. Obviously it's nothing more than local superstition and mumbo jumbo, but there is no reasoning with them. As a result, I will be making the final part of the trip on my own, mapping my progress as I go." "18th June, 1886: I cannot being to describe the horrors that I have seen, but I have begun to believe that I am beset with madness. The whispers are getting louder, I can almost hear them forming words in my mind, evil words..." "20th June, 1886: It's mine, it's finally mine, and it's more than I'd ever imagined! NO! I will not share it! I don't care what you say, you can't convince me. Why won't these damn voices stop screaming in my head?" The rest of the journal was filled with unintelligible writing: a mixture of scratches and babbling, like it's writer had gone completely mad. Whatever this treasure is, I suggest we be careful. I'm starting to suspect that Lord Faisser is under it's influence...

Right. LDraw doesn't need to actually stock parts like LDD, since you can't order your creations, so it can include anything that's ever been added to it. Lots and lots of files. Parts, programs to do things, more parts, spyware, spam bots, viruses. Never had a single problem with it. Ah, you discovered their nasty little secret. POV-Ray is an ancient weapon capable of yielding catastrophic destruction upon anyone at which it is aimed. Or it might just be a program to render your LDD creations at a more professional quality. I like the former, but the latter is useful too. Have fun and stop worrying so much!

It's funny because it's true. I actually knew you were the sorcerer because of the hat. Once a witch, always a witch.

... the rain fell in torrents, except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness. - Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton, Paul Clifford (1830) Perhaps, instead of starting a Halloween story in the post Halloween period, we could instead devote ourselves to literary pursuits of another kind... The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest! Past winners! Just an idea, feel free to ignore and carry on, I couldn't let the opportunity pass without promoting one of my favourite online literary contests.

Shame the goofy little Sorcerer had to try to kill me on night 1, huh? People who do things to me on night 1 always suffer! ANY OTHER PERSON Just felt that needed repeating. Doofus. Next time just get yourself killed, I don't need the help, I've got plenty of other people who are perfectly willing to kill me for no good reason.

Interesting. Personally, I say gather up the marbled bricks in your reject pile, take a pic and send it to me, I might want them. Otherwise, unless you can pinpoint something specifically wrong that this seller is doing, you're just giving them free advertising. I want to buy a lot now just to see what I get, like LEGO gambling. Are you sure we're not the same person?

Well, if the witch is in, I'm in!

What kind of madhouse is this? Athranhart and Florance are killing and poisoning and whacking people, Faisser or someone wanting us to think it's him is hacking people up, and you people are worried about the journal? Sure, it probably leads to the treasure, but what good is treasure if you're cut up in little pieces? Oh, and for the 15th time Amelia, I didn't grab your ankle intentionally, I grabbed it in the dark while feeling around for a weapon. Now get over it. Oh, and tell us why Clarance says you punched him in the stomach while you're at it.

Haha, this was pretty funny at first, but maybe it's time to move on to other things, right? Yeah, it is. Thanks!

Exactly. I tell you, I picked the only profile I didn't think anyone would notice leaving it parked on, and it lasted 2 hours. Stupid 'newest member' notification.

Great news, we need more stores and this sound like it will be grand! I hope it includes a chandelier!

No, she slapped me when I grabbed her ankle. If he was punched in the stomach, it was for another purpose. The one Clarance was reading in the basement before everything went dark and we were locked in. My mistake. I glanced over the pictures quickly and am used to that kind of damage being the result of a shot to the gut. I see now that it's a hatchet, it just didn't look like one to me before. That book. I'm not all that thrilled about you having the gun given that you drugged me on the first night.

New LEGO Video Game Themed Nintendo DS Cases Here's are a couple of interesting little additions to the world of LEGO Collectibles, Nintendo DS cases complete with 21 unique printed tiles forming a familiar scene, X-Wings flying with the Millennium Falcon or Indiana Jones cracking his whip. Star Wars Indiana Jones Rumour has it that they'll be about $15 and will likely appear wherever the Nintendo DS is sold (Toys R Us has specifically advertised them thus far). Discuss the SW case and give your opinion on it and future items of the same kind. Discuss the Indiana Jones case and give your opinion on it..

Despite the way the photography was done, I'm the one sitting in the chair in black, Athranhart had already left. I had specifically asked to find the clock we heard earlier, and you'll see where I mentioned that fact. The figure walking in the room is Clarance, and as you will note, he was muttering about what the maid had done to him. Unless he was trying to say that Amelia was the one to punch him in the stomach... That's interesting. At which point he passed out on his own and I didn't want another situation like the last time I found a body, so I got the hell out of there. I sent you to check on Clarance to get you out of your room, which I then searched looking for the missing book. I never found it. That means that there was another person in the basement with us or either Amelia or Clarance have it. Given the sequence of events, Clarance couldn't have committed the murder, he was passed out. I had left the room to find Morrison, and since I was sending him back to check on Clarance, I am fairly certain he didn't commit the murder either, unless he did it when he returned, but I would have noticed him carrying a rifle/shotgun. What the hell are you talking about?

Stop bumping your own topic, this is ridiculous.
