Hinckley

*Samantha's picture only reveals a blank scroll.* *There is nothing on Johnson's body. It appears he has already been searched.*

*Johnson always kept the roster on his person.* *Donna tries to shake the door. It doesn't budge.* *The blade is too thick to get behind the drawer...or some other excuse. Stop it. Stop using logic. *

That's a donut...

*Um...why? Do you remember a clue deciphered saying that the swords go in the center statue? * *Thank you. However, the torches in the main chamber don't go in the statues in the library. The statues in the library have their own torches. You have to find them.* *Right, so find one! * *Pull out your bone?? What the...??* *Zack arms himself with the rib he pulled off of Stanton's skeleton and goes to read the roster...if he knew where it was, anyway. Where is the roster, smart guy?*

*Sheldon and Siegourney cross the swords and shiver in anticipation.* *They shiver in vain.*

*Sheldon and Siegourney stick the swords into the hands of the center statue.*

*That's correct. The panels pops open and reveals a compartment containing two stone swords.* *Your superior brain didn't solve the reverse mirror. *

*Duplicating Siegourney's earlier efforts still produces no results...*

*4 dark gray 4 light gray 4 white*

*The group starts to think about how to solve the mosaic puzzle.*

*Sheldon gets slapped again. *

*You don't have a torch.* *A logical yet invisible hand slaps Sheldon in the face. Sheldon realizes that it'd be much quicker to find the torches and swords then to be a jerk and try to pull on the arms which may result in the disrepair of the statue making the solution of the puzzle impossible. So shut up. *

Well, great job. For a quicker solution check out this link:

*That solution is correct. (Holy crap)*

No worries! Post however you need. If you double post, it's fine. In this game only... ! Wow wow wow. How did you find the cipher?

*Fred Thomas checks the inside of the compartments and finds nothing useful. However, he find this message etched onto the back of one of the compartment doors:* *Diana examines the compartment that won't open. It is thicker than the others. Possibly this compartment was blocked by a thick square peg or something clever mechanism opens it...* *Diana feels around for levers but only finds a gigantic scary spider. She jumps into Quentin's arms for protection.* *How about it? * *Donna reveals her hatred for the color rouge.*

*Richard opens the letter and reads it out loud. "…wasn’t able to save Mr. Harcourt in time. If we see him again though, we know what to do. Hang onto the swords. They have several uses. It took us a while to realize that the altar in the Grand Chamber isn’t the altar. The little bench in the courtyard is the actual altar. It said so in the Scriptures. Even the tour guide didn’t realize…The point is, if somebody in your group goes missing, check the courtyard. Not to mention what waking the demons does to the Ceremony Chamber. But I’ll get back to that later. The Brotherhood came out of the forest shrouded in cowls and robes and dragged several members of the group into the jungle. We found two of our group, dead, on the altar and that’s when the statues started moving. It wasn’t until the third sacrifice… " The letter is, again, not complete. This seems to be another small portion.* *Even though the compartments have nothing in them doesn't mean they are done giving up any clues they may hold...*

*All of the compartments open revealing nothing, except for two. Most compartments hold the dust and deteriorated pieces of old parchments. None have any discernable information on them. There is a letter in one compartment and one compartment will not open.*

*Diesel walks opposite where the opposite the statue and pushes the wall. Nothing happens there.* *Diesel moves the arms of the left statue up and down. A pulley is heard moving behind the walls, but since Diesel is moving both arms, it's hard to tell which arm is causing the sound.* *Diesel then fiddles with the 2 x 2 dark tan tiles on the wall. They are all compartments that can easily open.* *You can fit your head through, but as the hole is (in LEGO scale) a little less than 2 studs wide and a little less than 2 bricks high, a person can't fit through. The opening is created by two 2 x 2 c panels.* *Nobody is missing except those previously found dead or skeletonized/missing.* *There are no interesting objects under the benches.* *Penny holds the blank parchment up to the moonlight but no words appear.*

*Sylvia turns the hand of the statue that she has just added. It makes a scraping noise and then seems to catch something. A familiar squeaky pulley noise is heard behind the wall...* *Sylvia looks out through the broken wall and is shocked to see a person starting back at her. She thinks it was a man but didn't get any more detail than that. He is gone before she can see any other details. He appeared to be wearing a hood or cowl...* *Sheldon points his gun at Sylvia.* *Sylvia makes a wacko face at the prospect of death...*

*Sylvia takes the stone hand and puts it into the arm of the statue on the right. It fits.*

*Sheldon places the tooth into the wolf head and something falls out of the mouth. Examining the fallen object reveals a stone hand and a letter. Sheldon reads the letter: I fear for my life. I am here to see the lunar eclipse over the temple. Strange things seemed to be happening and I was scared for my soul, but now I know who is behind it and now I fear for my life. A goofy woman named Monica Maltese is robbing the place blind, scaring the wits out of anyone who will listen with some cacamamey story about demons. Meanwhile, she and her friends are running around opening weird doors and digging through things. They are obviously looking for some sort of treasure. They have some rag-tag group of hoodlums running about trying to scare everyone. Clearly these people were waiting in the jungle to scare us and help Monica and her friends with their theft. They are playing a very dangerous game. One of the tour guests is already dead. Nobody suspects Monica and her group but I can tell sheisters when I see them. If I don't survive, I hope this note ends up in the right hands. -Robert Mantino*

*Well, don't mind me, I just narrate things. *

*Sylvia remove Johnson's bowtie and stows it in her purse, cursing it for its flamboyance. The movement causes Johson's torso to slip in the pool of blood and reveal the word "Roster," written on the fountain, apparently by Johnson in his own blood.* *Sylvia find the tiles on the right-hand mosaic un-removeable.* *It is a wolf head...or an upside-down dragon jaw, but in this case...a wolf head.*

*Donna picks up the parchment. There is an old quill wrapped in it. The parchment itself appears completely blank.*
