Part One: Death: A Novel Idea
Briefing
As with any problem, we need to first identify exactly what we are dealing with before we can proceed with any confidence. There is a tome that may contain the answer to that question. It is called Tremaine's Manual of the Dead.
While the manual lies within the hidden vault of this very mansion it is also protected by many and varied magical wards which are now, as you can imagine, Animus Arcana and quite uncontrollable.
- I know this drill. I retrieve the manual, you read it.
Retrieving the Manual will not be so simple. Tremaine's Manual is itself warded and protected by many spells. Even if you can find it you will need to circumvent these mystical protections before the book can be safely recovered.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Find the Manual of the Dead so we can learn what ill has befallen the spirit world.
Mission Objective(s)
Map: NW_MIDNIGHTMANSION_VAULT
You become keenly aware that the magical defenses of the Midnight Mansion's mystical vault are aware of you, and they want to kill you.
- Recover the Manual of the Dead
- Retrieve Tremaine's Manual of the Dead
You've recovered Tremaine's Manual of the Dead!
Animus Arcana Chatter
Tremaine's Book of the Dead
Briefing
"The spells placed upon the book appear to be missing..."
- Snatch up the Manual
- "You snatch up Tremaine's Manual of the Dead only to discover that the guardian spells were simply hiding from you and they attack!"
- Defend yourself!
- Proceed with Caution
- "You look over the book and realize that the magical spells in place to defend it are hiding, waiting for you to try and pick up the book!"
- Pick up the Manual and prepare for battle
- "You pick up Tremaine's Manual of the Dead and ready yourself for battle. As you expected the guardian spells emerge from between the pages and attack!"
- Attack!
Mission Objective(s)
- Recover the Manual of the Dead
- Defeat the Guardian Spells
You've recovered Tremaine's Manual of the Dead!
|
Ambush! Three waves of Animus Arcana spells will attack. |
Tremaine's Book of the Dead

"You have claimed the Manual of the Dead."
- Leave
Enemies
Debriefing
You've recovered the Manual!?
Excellent!
Within its pages we can determine what wickedness is at hand here. I'll have some answers for you in a few hours, and more than likely, need of your help once again.
In the meantime, I've discovered something of interest that I think might solve our problems with these Animus Arcana...
We're making great progress, but we cannot let up now. I knew this would be a wildly successful venture together, and I am grateful to be a part of it.
