It was morning, at least according to the clocks. Sunlight didn’t penetrate the metal fortress the guests had begun to call ‘home’. As the guests descended the staircase it was clear that the Library was where the night’s dastardly deeds were carried out.

Two bodies lay in a macabre embrace on the Persian rug before the fireplace. One, the unfortunate Mr. Almond, had several crossbow bolts embedded in his chest; it was unclear what had befallen his partner in death, Monsieur Ivoire- though it had certainly left him fittingly pale. On his person was a small bottle of Paraffin, seal unbroken. It was clear neither of the pair had been working with the murderers.

Then, in the ashes of the fireplace the guests noticed a charred leather-bound journal. Though most of the contents had been destroyed there were some strange jottings and diagrams that had survived, and partial references to some of the guests.

After a time Madame Chartreuse was able to translate an unburnt passage that revealed that Monsieur Ivoire had been none other than famed crime-solver Inspector Clouseau, French Detective Extraordinaire. “Merde!” she cried, “ ‘owever shall we ‘ope to uncover ze murderers now?!”

The guests quickly located the rest of the Inspector’s belongings in the Ball Room, but there was no information to help them there, either. Whatever the good Inspector had found, the knowledge died with him.

Mr. Almond's remaining belongings were found in the Lounge, and revealed him to be an agent on assignment from the CIA. It seemed almost every world power was in attendance, hoping to leave with Mr. Black’s invention.

The remaining guests looked at each other with scarcely masked terror and suspicion- some of those here thought it was worth everyone else’s lives to get their hands on, and unless the guests could stop them soon, they would never again see daylight.
