Page 01[edit]
Lady Dahlia's Letter[edit]
"A most fascinating letter found its way to me the other day. It came to me from one Lady Dahla, widow to Baron Augustus Reinhold. Her letter details how an unusual object known only as the Golden Apple is to decide how her late husband's fortune is split up. The entire matter sounds terribly interesting, and I've arranged for Luke to accomplany me on a visit to St Mystere, the site of the whole incident."
Chasing Claudia[edit]
"A thunderous noise rang out during my conversation with Lady Dahlia. The din was so deafening that it caused her cat, Claudia, to run off. Losing her cat put Lady Dahlia in quite a temper, so we have to taken on the rather irritating task of chasing a wayward feline. But enough of cats. Just what was that noise?"
Looking for the Inn[edit]
"Some rascal has made off with the crank to the village drawbridge. For the moment, it seems that we are unable to leave St Mystere. Though we're still out looking for that cat, I've decided we should make lodging arrangements before it gets too late. I recall seeing an inn around the village entrance."
Back to Chasing Claudia[edit]
"We've succeeded in procuring rooms for the night, but the village's only inn is undergoing renovations. As such, we'll stay in the attic. At least I know we'll be safe; the innkeeper is a sturdy woman who no doubt know how to wield a rolling pin should the need arise. Now back to looking for that cat..."
Claudia Found![edit]
"It was a long struggle that cost Luke some scratches to his face and perhaps his pride, but we finally managed to catch Claudia. I think now it would be appropriate to make our way back to the mansion and inform Lady Dahlia of our success."
The Murder[edit]
"Upon our return to Reinhold Manor, we were greeted with the awful news of Simon's murder. Ramon was also subsequently nowhere to be found. Seeing Lady Dahlia's distress, I've agreed to search the village for her missing servant. The inspector investigating the murder seems to think I had something to do with it."

Beyond the Clock Tower[edit]
"A large gate bars the way through the base of the clock tower. In order to investigate the north side of the village, it is imperative that we make our way through that gate. But how do we get through?"
St Mystere's Puzzle Obsession[edit]
"A positively gargantuan gentleman named Deke stands in front of the clock tower gate and refuses to let anyone through who hasn't solved 12 puzzles. That's easy enough, but it is a bit odd... Everyone in this village seems to have a curiously strong affinity for puzzles."
The North Side of St Mystere[edit]
"We've finally succeeded in passing through the gate and have made our way to the north of the village. The roads here are winding and narrow. Surely one of these people knows something of Ramon's whereabouts. I'll be sure to ask around."
Gathering Information[edit]
"After talking with that boisterous fellow Jarvis, we learned that a man by the name of Zappone may have some information for us. He's apparently hanging about the area past the gate, where the road forks."

At least he let us know we should seek out Crouton, the owner of the restaurant down by the park, for more information."
Rumours at the Restaurant[edit]
"The rumour mill is churning. Feeding the frenzy are the disturbing number of disappearances and the thunderous booming that is said to emanate from the tower above St Mystere. To top it off, Crouton says there is a shadowy figure running around kidnapping people. We meed to visit the local cafe to find out more."

Gerard's Request[edit]
"Our investigation continues even as night falls upon St Mytere. We were on our way to the cafe through the passage below the clock tower when we bumped into Gerard, who was in a spot of bother.

To the Cafe[edit]
"With Gerard's watch returned, we are finally free to return to our investigation of Ramon's disappearance. I must admit that I'm feeling a bit weary and do hope we will find him at the cafe."
Talk of a Kidnapper[edit]
"The cafe owner, Crumm, was extremely helpful. He told us where we can find a man who had a run-in with the aged kidnapper. This witness lives just north of the cafe. I hope against hope that Ramon is merely off somewhere napping, but I have a dreadful feeling that the worst has happened... In any case, I must talk to this Prosciutto."
