Bring it on!

Hinckley, Siegfried, JimButcher and Erdbeereis have all received mysterious invitations to a fancy dinner party. Hinckley: "Where's my vest? " Siegfried: "What happened to my eyes? " Erdbeereis: "Why is my envelope different than everyone elses?" JimButcher: "Why am I out of focus?" Hinckley: "I never noticed before that my sleeves were a different color than my shirt. I miss my vest. " Siegfried: "Everything is so much clearer now. Except JimButcher, he's out of focus." Erdbeereis: "I think I'm at the wrong party." JimButcher: "Where's our host? I'm hungry!" Little did they know that their host, FallenTomato, had already arrived and he had a big surprise in store for them... WHACK!!! See larger pics on flickr

Is anyone noticing a pattern there? Jack, Willoughby and Stanton are the three people who touched the dark gem and are the three people who have perished. Maybe we should stick to looking for the pure bright shiny gems. I think this dark gem may be more cursed than the Hope Diamond *Opens all the dark tan compartments and takes out any scraps of parchment.* *Picks wolfs head off the floor and puts it onto the handlebars of the bicycle* Now it's a Demon Bike! You don't seem to be all that concerned with where your wife is.

*Once Diesel put the torches and swords in place, I go to the locked 2x2 cabinet and try to open it and remove whatever lies inside.*

That might just be my sexy new bowite *Checks all sides of fountain* *Tries twisting the fountain* *Kicks the fountain* *Clutches foot in pain*

Alright team! I know we're all frustrated because we can't find those torches and scared ****less because someone or something is picking us off one by one , but let's put out heads together and solve this thing! Maybe the problem is low morale and lack of leadership (and emoticons ). *takes Johnson's bowtie from Sylvia's purse and puts it on* Well now I'm taking charge! Let's look around the room again and see if we can see anything we've missed. I don't think anyone explicitly looked inside the fountain yet *Peeks inside fountain* We still have that mysterious blank parchment and what about that quill? Is there anything unusual about it?

I've never done mini-fig lip-syncing myself, and this isn't a software based solution, but this tutuorial might be helpful.

*looks in the spaces behind the three statues*

You mean aside from the people who have been brutally murdered?

Did we already have Samantha take a picture of the "blank" scroll? That has revealed invisible things before. Well then even if we do find it, it may be too pee-stained to read! *Checks the corpse for a piece of paper/roster*

Did no one read the de-cyphered hint? "The statue on the left holds a torch in his left hand The statue on the right holds a torch in his hand The center statue holds two swords The sword are crossed" *Goes and grabs two torches from the main room and brings them back and sticks them in the appropriate hands*

*Looks on the inside of the compartments and back of compartment doors for etchings/carvings/fingerpainting/other clues*

Let's stop pointing guns/fingers at each other and focus on the hooded dude. *Looks around to see if anyone is missing from the tour group* Maybe this "blank" parchment is written in invisible ink of some kind. Maybe Samantha could take a photograph of it? *looks under the two stone benches and pulls out any interesting objects*

*Stands next to Diana and holds rifle at the ready*

Alright, so obviously one of us took the key. Do I need to do a pat down? If so, I think I should start with Zachary Fortem. He's been sneaking off away from the group and seems to be looking out more for himself than the group. Is anyone going to fess up so I can avoid groping everyone?

The evil guy is Commodore Creamsicle. The gold stud is actually New Block City, which isn't the capitol, but is definitely the most important city in Figuria.

Yes, in fact I am already working on producing a DVD of Chapter 1 so I will have something to sell at Brickworld. I'll be sure to let you all know when it's available. Glad to hear you all like Zundar! I'm glad I was finally able to share him with the world. I wrote the script for this episode a couple years ago and he's been bounding around my head ever since waiting to be unleashed.

The official website This took a long time to put together. I did a lot of lip syncing and blue screening. Hope you like it

I already suggested pushing one of the torch bearing statues on to it. I just don't think bending a gun is a good way to solve it. That was part of the contract you signed when you agreed to go on this tour. Pardon me for do my job. Also you have it back now, so quit your whining. *Is in a grumpy mood. It's almost as if in some other life it was Monday morning*

If by shotgun you mean my rifle, you can keep your grubby paws off it thank you very much. I am quite fed up with people using my items without asking first. *Grumbles about matches and shakes his fist at Jack Baxter's corpse*

Maybe we could push something heavy on to the lever? Like one of those statues with the torches? I have a feeling that might still end with us being crushed, so lets try to think of a better idea. *Sits and thinks at a safe distance from the crack in the wall*

I saw we investigate the library. We already know the statues aren't here and there might be ancient texts there that help us figure out what we're up against. As for the murder of Jack Baxter and Stanton... there were people missing from the group when we went to the courtyard to look at the eclipse - Sylvia Berent, Siegourney, William Falcon, Diesel Nolan, Sandy Sanders , Sheldon Wills. Maybe they could give the rest of us their alibis again.

Oh yeah! Whack me! Whack me! err... I mean...something with less innuendo... This isn't my avatar right now because of Red Moon but my sigfig tends to be a dark gray legshark. The legs are attached with a jumper plate. I suppose other types/colors of sharks with legs could still be considered me, but I don't know that I would really feel it. My potential hit list: -Hinckley (he's just got it coming) -Siegfried (I've got a walrus so I might as well) -Erdbeereis (That smug little grin needs to be whacked off his face) -JimButcher (I'm still angry about him wasting my matches in Red Moon, even if he was just killed off) Hmm... only one entry... I might need some kind of Whack-O-Matic to get them all

I finally animated my first scenes with Zundar Silverspine, Weatherdragon Extraordinaire, today. I'm really pleased with the results. Check it out Should have the full episode done next weekend

*Looks at the bottom of the head to see if it is clearly broken off from a larger statue* Very interesting. I'll hold on to this in case we need it in a puzzle later. Maybe now we should explore the other rooms? Maybe we can start with one of the libraries? Or do we want to look around for Jack's legs at all?
