I told you not to touch the starfish!

If all continued to go as planned, they would be in the Port of Koltur before the pirate crew suspected anything was amiss.

Clever Jeanette's pulse quickened as a discreet peep through the aperture confirmed her suspicion that at long last she had found an entrance to the nefarious Dr. Whittlestone's laboratory.

"I didn't know those could fly!"

Suddenly, Clever Jeanette noticed the draperies were damask. She began to form a plan.

The items in the safe...weren't.

Clever Jeanette wondered if now would be a good time to tell Dark Charity the gun was not loaded.



After thorough inspection and testing, Dark Charity and Clever Jeanette concluded beyond doubt that the suspicious object dropped by Col. Whisperthorn was, in all manner of discernible fact, a handkerchief.

The trail had come to a fork.

The knowledge of what awaited her on the second floor gave Clever Jeanette pause.

Ghost Code Section MMMDXCII, Paragraph 31, Item 7 did indeed state, On Thursday afternoons between the hours of 2:53 pm and 4:27 pm on the eve of a Vernal Equinox, Ghosts may remain ensconced in garden without retribution.

Dark Charity's new listening device worked a bit too well.

Extra! Extra! Rare golden egg missing! Police baffled!

Even after being presented with photographic evidence, there were those who remained skeptical towards Clever Jeanette's account of her encounter with the Kraken.

The ghost soon appeared just as Dark Charity predicted, for she knew no lingering spirit could long resist a rousing rendition of In the Sweet By and By.
