Mission:Madeleine Casey - Make sure Alfred is safe from the Carnival of Shadows

Make sure Alfred is safe from the Carnival of Shadows

Briefing

I just got a call from Alfred van Bortel, a lawyer who I've been friends with for some time. He seemed to think he was in danger! He was too flustered to say much on the phone, but I gathered that it had something to do with that strange Carnival of Shadows. Will you get over there and make sure Alfred is safe?

• Make sure Alfred is safe from the Carnival of Shadows

For the life of me, I can't imagine why the Carnival would want to harm a middle-aged tax attorney. Can you?

Alfred van Bortel's story

When you rescued Alfred van Bortel from the Carnival of Shadows, he told you: 'It started last week, when I noticed some unusual charges on the credit card of my client, Adrianna Hollister. Adrianna's a bit of a playgirl, so it wasn't too unusual to see her spend a lot of cash. But these charges! Thousands of dollars funneled directly from Adrianna's credit card to a numbered Swiss bank account. Something wasn't right. I think Adrianna's being blackmailed! But when I started asking questions, these strange clowns came after me! 'The last I heard of Adrianna, she was going to a rave in Brickstown. Please help her, Taosin! She could be in real trouble!'

Lady of Pain dialogue

Alas, poor Alfred must be no more!

Unnecessary Solicitation

It sounds to me as if Adrianna Hollister may be in over her head. If I were you, I'd find her before it's too late.

Carnival Sentries

Carnival Minion 1: Our new lady is most radiant!

Carnival Minion 2: Quite so. I'm sure she will easily become a favorite.

Combat Start

Carnival Minion 1: Hey! No heroes allowed!

Hypnotized performers

Upon Rescue

Hypnotized performer 1: You're saying I have to go home? But why?

Hypnotized performer 3: Where am I? Who am I? What am I?

Adrianna Hollister dialogue

Before Combat: Life has never been sweeter!
Combat Start: You came here to save me? How sweet!

Debriefing

It sounds like Adrianna Hollister gave her money to the Carnival of Shadows quite willingly. In fact, a lot of young, moneyed singles have been getting into the Carnival's act lately. Perhaps they're being targeted for recruitment? The Carnival does like to lead life on the wild side, and that doesn't come cheap.
