+ | The solution to [[the Hangman]]'s first puzzle was both cryptic and disturbing. It also told us where to go next. Solving it had taken too much time. At this rate, we would not likely finish in time before midnight. We would have to work more quickly. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Just as we were preparing to leave the Reception Room, [[Marta Perez]] burst into the room, breathless. During their search of [[Bedford Manor]], they found [[Robert]]'s body in the Head Butler's chamber. Like [[Johnson Savage|Savage]], he was hung from a rafter by a noose around his neck. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[Marta Perez|Marta]] told us that [[Grace Whittington]] had panicked, locking herself in her guest room on the second floor and refusing to come out. [[David Denton]] had left to find the group searching the island for [[the Hangman]]. Marta insisted on joining our group to solve the Hangman's challenges. We were happy to have her help. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Our newly expanded group proceeded to the second location in search of the next challenge. There, on an antique Victorian desk, we found a letter bound notebook surrounded by some interesting items. On the first page of the notebook were a series of handwritten symbols that looked like stick figures. This was the [[the Hangman]]'s second puzzle. We quickly went to work. | ||

+ | It took us about an hour to solve [[the Hangman]]'s second puzzle. Ultimately, [[Marta Perez|Perez]] had the insight that led us to the solution, so we were thankful that she had joined our group. Over the preceding hour, there had been no contact from the other group or from [[Grace Whittington]], who presumably remained locked in her room. There also had been no sign of the Hangman. Was he watching us, even now, from some unseen vantage point? | ||
+ | |||
+ | From the solution to the second puzzle, we were able to move to the next location to find the third puzzle. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When we reached the next location, we found two pages displayed in plain view. On the front of the first page was a poem above some items common to the room. On the back was a grid of letters. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Next to this puzzle, on a second page, was a photograph of the room. Both pages appeared to be important to reach the solution to the third puzzle. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We started working on it immediately. | ||

+ | The third puzzle proved to be more difficult to solve than the first two. It was nearly eleven when we finally cracked it. The solution to the third puzzle gave us the location of the fourth challenge. With no time to waste, we ran toward the next location. As we passed through the Entry Hall, [[William Thorn]] burst in through the front door. His face was pale and he appeared quite shaken. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once we were able to calm [[William Thorn|Thorn]] down, he gave us a most disturbing account of the fate of his group. During their search of the island, they discovered the old fishing camp used by [[William Savage]] before the island was sold to [[Nathaniel Bedford]]. It consisted of several cabins and a lodge connected by wooden walkways above the tidal flats along the shore. The group split up to search the buildings more efficiently. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When [[William Thorn|Thorn]] finished searching his designated cabin, he returned to the walkway to find [[Julie Bull]] floating face down in the shallow water below. She had received a grievous wound to the back of her head, and there was no chance she was still alive. Thorn called out repeatedly for [[Robert MacKenzie]], but after hearing no response, he ran back to [[Bedford Manor]] to find us. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[William Thorn|Thorn's]] group had seen no sign of [[David Denton]]. We then appraised Thorn of our progress and stressed the short amount of time left before midnight. He decided to join us as we tried to solve the next puzzle. We ran to the new location where we discovered a vintage piece of furniture with rows of small drawers. On some of the drawers were strange symbols. I took a picture on my phone in case it might be useful later. We quickly got to work trying to figure out the nature of this new challenge. | ||
