Investigation location: Library


Investigation Options:

Sift through the bookshelves

LEFTHAND LEARNING

With great diligence you set yourself about pulling out and thumbing through most if not all of the books in the library but not into the investigation a few too many books are still in a plastic sleeve... It seems Hammerbottom is less of a reader than he would let on! He notices you've caught on and for your silence you've been often a selection of your favorites from his shelves.

Creep along the catwalk

PALE NETHERWORLD MASK BLACK

From the ground floor it doesn't seem like such a tight fit but once you're up there on the catwalk you notice that squeezing past the displays is a bit more challenging than originally promised. You almost make it to the doorway on the other side from where you started and accidentally bump a trophy skull off of the wall and... kinda busted it. Whoops!

Poke around the coffee table

EVIDENCE (+1 ticket)

It doesn't take much to notice the bright red teacup on the coffee table. It's clearly one of the pieces of the finer china. You can tell by feeling the side that the tea inside is still hot so it almost definitely belongs to one of the party-goers.

Investigate the armchair

ELEGANT GOLD POCKETWATCH

At first glance nothing seems out of the ordinary but you don't leave things to that now do you? You shove your arms- your ENTIRE arms- down into the grooves around the cushion and dig until you find an antique pocket watch which eludes even Hammerbottom's memory!

Fiddle with the windows

EVIDENCE (+1 ticket)

There are a few things which are evident as you approach the windows... they aren't locked, they face toward the fence and, most notably, seem to have grown a white button and blue thread.

Comb over the floor

WIZARD'S WISH

There isn't much in the well maintained floors but as you work your way to the wall you notice that there is a strange bit of wood tucked under a lip in the molding. You pick it up and find yourself surrounded by swirls and sparkles like... well like magic!
