003-Walkthrough
-----------------------------------------------------------
003a-Case One: The Mummy's Curse
-----------------------------------------------------------
The game begins with Dr. Watson complaining about rubbish
in the London Times. Specifically, he is upset that the
Times has run a sensationalist story about the Mummy's
Curse, which has recently killed three men.
Go to the newspaper section to read up on the case. The
mummy in question is called Katebet's mummy, and it has
been taken from Egypt to London for an exhibition.
The three men who died within the past six weeks were James
Windibank, Dr. Ebenezer Turnbull, and Andrew Weatherby.
Windibank was killed inside the British museum. Turnbull,
the organizer of the expedition, was killed inside the
mummy's tomb. Weatherby was killed on the ship, as it
returned to England.
The ship is called the Eastern Empress, run by Captain
Herman Ramsey and first officer Luther Tenney.
Leave the newspaper and go to the directory. Most of your
investigation will take place here. You can look up all the
names in Holmes' files, and you can send the irregulars to
these people in hopes of finding out more information.
Sometimes this is helpful, and sometimes it is not. For
example, if you sent the irregulars to Weatherby, you learn
nothing at all. If you send them to Captain Ramsey, you
learn that Tenney was put in charge of the investigation.
Your goal in this game is to investigate the murders and
determine who the culprit is.
Weatherby's Death
-----------------
Weatherby died on a boat, so the murderer must be one of
the other passengers. Go to the Shipping Company, Jardine,
Matheson & Co., for a list of passengers. You can
alternately send the irregulars to get the list.
If you visit Captain Herman Ramsey, or send an irregular to
him, you learn that Luther Tenney was put in charge of the
investigation.
Visit Luther Tenney. He will explain about finding the
corpse in some detail. The entire journey was rather
unpleasant, because people were afraid of the mummy.
There was also some fighting going on, during the voyage.
Windibank fought with a reporter named Travis. Weatherby,
the victim, fought was a man named Uruburu, because Uruburu
was spending too much time with Weatherby's wife.
Two Arabs, named Fahmi and Al-suad, were on the voyage.
Fahmi was protective of a box he always carried, with Al-
suad spent most of his time keeping an eye on Fahmi.
A bowl of ashes, found next to the corpse, went missing.
This is the last thing that Tenney mentions.
If you go to visit Mr. Uruburu, he will claim that he spent
most of the voyage drinking. He admits to carrying on an
affair with Mrs. Weatherby. If you visit Mrs. Weatherby,
she gets uncomfortable when Holmes mentions her affair, and
she admits nothing.
Philip Travis happens to be the same reporter who wrote the
article for the times about Windibank's death. You learn
this if you visit Travis or the London Times (under
newspapers), or if you send an irregular to Windibank. When
you visit Travis, you learn that he believes the Egyptian
gods are real, and they are responsible for the deaths.
If you visit Fahmi, Holmes and Watson discover that he is
dead. He was stabbed in the back with a knife. Holmes
quickly solves the case, deducing that the butler is the
culprit. If only all his cases were this simple!
If you visit Al-saud, you learn that he is not at home at
the moment.
If you visit the final passengers on the ship, Louise and
Merril Fenwick, you learn they are quite eccentric.
Windibank's Death
-----------------
Visit the British Museum to speak with one of museum's
leaders. He says that Windibank's corpse was found inside
the sarcophagus, along with the mummy.
A guard, Henry Witherspoon, was making his rounds when he
saw Windibank's hand sticking out of the sarcophagus. That
was when the alarm was raised.
The exhibit was being put on by the museum and the London
University. If you visit the University, Holmes speaks with
Lawrence Feld, the chairman of the Egyptology department.
Feld explains that Turnbull organized the expedition. It
was his first time working with Windibank, a popular
lecturer. Many students applied to be an assistant on the
expedition, due to Windibank's involvement.
Travis (the reporter) was rejected as an assistant, and he
took it personally. Peter Smith was accepted, but he turned
down the position and joined another expedition. In the
end, Weatherby was chosen as the assistant.
If you visit Smith, you learn that he's been out of the
country for a while.
Trial
-----
When you think you're done investigating, go to trial. If
you don't have enough clues, the Judge will send you back
to investigation.
The judge asks you a series of questions.
Q: Who killed Turnbull?
A: Philip Travis.
Q: Why?
A: Turnbull publicly lambasted Travis for questioning the
doctor's credentials.
Q: Who killed Weatherby?
A: Phillip Travis.
Q: Why?
A: Travis was angry that Weatherby was chosen for the
expedition instead of himself.
Q: Who killed Windibank?
A: Philip Travis.
Q: Why?
A: Windibank did not choose him for the expedition.
That's the end of the game. See how many detective points
you got! Your goal is to get as few points as possible. You
can also see Sherlock Holmes' personal solution to the case
at this point.
003b-Case Two: The Tin Soldier
-----------------------------------------------------------
Inspector Smythe visits Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. He
tells them that General Farmsworth Armstead has been
murdered. This murder is of particular note, because
General Armstead was the youngest member of the Waterloo
Tontine.
The Tontine was a lottery, set up for the veterans of the
Battle of Waterloo (and their relatives). The person who
outlives all the other ticket holders gets all of the money
(which has been collecting interest in a bank for decades).
With Armstead's murder, there are now five people still in
the running to win the lottery: Robert Juergens, Anita and
Claire Thomas, William Roland and Peter Dudley. They are
all expected to attend a dinner at the Langham Hotel on the
18th, which celebrates the 75th anniversary of the battle.
Inspector Smythe discusses the details of Armstead's death.
Armstead collected art and published a book of some note on
the subject. He was working on a revised edition of his
book, featuring a new chapter about the Polar Star Diamond
(owned by Napoleon's brother).
An elderly Frenchman appeared at Armstead's house at 10:00
AM. The valet, David Sennett, tried to dismiss him, but the
man insisted he had an important letter for Armstead.
When Armstead read the letter, he insisted on meeting with
the Frenchman. They met in a locked room, and a swordfight
broke out. The valet ran in through the back entrance, in
order to see what was happening, but by the time he
arrived, it was too late. Armstead was dead, and the
Frenchman disappeared, along with his letter.
Seems like quite a case!
The Regulars
------------
Let's see what the regulars have to say about this case.
Ellis talks a bit about the history of the Tontine Lottery.
25 years ago, there were 204 people still in the running.
Now, there are only five.
Quentin Hogg knows the deceased, by his connection to the
Polar Star Diamond. The diamond belonged to a rich Russian,
and it was stolen by a French thief named Andre Matin.
Matin was later found dead in the Thames; the diamond was
not found.
Inspector Lestrade does not want to talk about the murder
investigation. He has a list of suspects and is currently
planning on checking alibis. It does not occur to the
Inspector that the culprit might create a fake alibi.
The London Library explains that the name "Tontine" comes
from Lorenzo Tonti, a Neapolitan banker who introduced the
system into France. It also explains about Waterloo, which
was Napoleon's final and worst defeat.
Sir Jasper Meek explains that the death was due to an
upward thrust of a sword, which pierced the victim's heart.
H. R. Murray has the saber which was found in the victim's
hand. There was dust on the saber, indicating it hadn't
been used in some time. There was blood on the tip, which
indicates that the victim managed to scratch his opponent
with the sword, but not seriously.
Langdale Pike says that the victim married into money, by
wedding Lord Finch's daughter Mary. Malcolm Fitch (the
woman's brother) objected to the wedding, due to the
victim's reputation with the ladies. Lloyd Shoemaker would
know more about that than Pike; all Pike knows is that
Fitch and the victim owned stock together.
Pike also mentions that the victim's book on art upset
Carson Cabot. Cabot is a gem collector, and the victim's
book suggested he got some jewels illegally. Cabot got in a
fight with the victim and broke his collarbone.
Shinwell is running bets on the Tontine Lottery. Captain
Juergens is a long shot, at 25 to 1 odds. The only person
betting on him is his nephew, Booth Lacey.
The Other Tontine Ticket Holders
--------------------------------
If you visit Captain Robert Juergens, the oldest Tontine
ticket holder, he says that he hasn't seen Armstead in 25
years. If Juergens wins, he plans to NOT share the money
with his good-for-nothing nephew, Booth Lacey.
If you visit the Thomas twins, the two of them are sorry to
hear of Armstead's death. If they win, they'd leave the
money to the Ladies' League for the Preservation of
Finches.
If you visit William Roland, you learn that he has been
suffering from gout for the past two weeks. He enjoys
eating food, and his two sons own a successful import
company in America. His daughter is married to a poet named
Wentworth Cobbett.
You can visit Wentworth Cobbet (and his wife). Wentworth
works on poetry every day, from ten until noon. That gives
him a solid alibi.
If you visit Peter Dudley, he seems unlikely to have killed
anyone. He is a poor worker, and he tries to keep positive
by saying that he is now the youngest ticket holder.
Investigating the Victim
------------------------
If you visit Lloyd Shoemaker or Malcolm Fitch, he confirms
that the victim had an affair with a woman in France, after
preparing his marriage. The French woman gave birth to
Armstead's son.
If you visit Booth Lacey (the nephew of one of the lottery
ticket holders), you learn he is at the Red Bull Inn. If
you go there, you learn that Lacey is a con artist, working
at London Bridge Station. He has an alibi for the murder;
he was conning a free meal from the people at St. Mary's
Church. If you go to the church, you can double-check with
the priest, who confirms the alibi.
If you go to Carson Cabot, who once fought with the victim,
you learn that he has an alibi. He was at home all morning,
and Holmes quickly confirms this.
If you go to Armstead's home (or to David Sennett), the
valet explains more about his death. The saber he died
holding was usually kept above the display case, showing
the Battle of Waterloo. For some reason, the figurine of
Napoleon has been turned backwards.
The portrait of Armstead's deceased wife is above the
display case. The valet talks about her. She was a nasty
woman, and Armstead seems to have married her, just for her
money. The valet confirms that Armstead and his brother-in-
law owned joint stock together.
On the day of his death, Armstead was working on his
writings about the Polar Star Diamond. He was scheduled to
meet Pierre Matin, about the diamond's current whereabouts.
Armstead's old friend Jean Paul Gerard is in town, and he
is staying at the French Embassy. The valet concludes the
discussion of Armstead, by gibing more details on the
murderer. Holmes notes the difficulty the culprit must have
had in escaping.
If you go to the French Embassy, you talk with Armstead's
old friend, Jean Paul Gerard, about the time Armstead spent
in France. Armstead had a liason with a young girl during
this time, because Armstead disliked his fiancé (whom he
called "Horseface"). The previous week, the two of them saw
a play headlined by Phillip Arneau.
If you visit the Princess Theater, the manager talks about
Phillip Arneau. He portrays Napoleon in their popular play.
Arneau had a hard life; his sister died years ago, under
tragic circumstances, and his mother died recently. Arneau
is staying at the Grand Hotel.
If you go to the Grand Hotel, Holmes and Watson get
permission from Inspector Lestrade to examine the room.
There, they find a sword disguised as a cane. There is a
very tragic letter on the table, which appears to be the
one the victim read before his death.
If you go to the Bridgehouse Hotel (under hotels) to speak
with Pierre Matin, you learn that he has just been killed,
shortly after getting a telegraph. The telegraph appears to
deal with the fact that Matin knows who has the Polar Star
Diamond. The hotel clerk says that Matin's last visit was a
large Russian man.
If you visit the Russian Embassy, you learn that Count
Rostov (a former owner of the Polar Star Diamond) is in
town, at the DeKesyer's Royal Hotel. You can visit him
there. The Count claims that his valet, Vladmir, found
Matin dead at the hotel.
Like Quentin Hogg, the Count believes that Pierre Matin's
brother, Andre, stole the Polar Star Diamond years ago. The
Count came here to London to talk to Armstead about the
diamond, once he caught wind that Armstead was writing
about it. The Count is unhappy that both men who knew about
the diamond have been killed.
If you go to Norgate and Co. Publishers (under newspapers),
Wells Osborne talks about General Armstead's book. The
first version of the book was very successful; the libel
suits that were filed against the book only seemed to
increase its popularity.
The man talks about the upcoming revised edition, with a
chapter on the Polar Star Diamond. As far as the publisher
knows, Pierre Matin was going to reveal the location of the
diamond, in exchange for money. Unfortunately, it seems
both men were killed before they could meet.
Trial
-----
When you think you're done investigating, go to trial. If
you don't have enough clues, the Judge will send you back
to investigation.
The judge asks you a series of questions.
Q: Who killed General Farnsworth Armstead?
A: Phillip Arneau.
Q: What was the motive?
A: To avenge the honor of Arneau's sister.
Q: Why was the figure of Napoleon turned around?
A: His murderer was the actor who was portraying Napoleon,
Pillip Arneau.
Q: What name did the General call Mary Fitch?
A: Horseface.
003c-Case Three: The Mystified Murderess
-----------------------------------------------------------
Watson is reading an article in the paper about a series of
burglaries. The seventh burglary took place at the home of
Sir Sanford Leeds. The burglar only steals one valuable
item from each house, and he seems to know where the item
is located ahead of time.
After this, a man named Gerald Locke comes in to see
Holmes. Locke is courting Miss Frances Nolan, who was
arrested for the murder of Guy Clarendon (a second suitor).
She was found with a pistol in her hand, near Guy's body,
but Locke is convinced she is completely innocent.
Clarendon, the victim, was a noted athlete, but a bit of a
bounder. His father all but disinherited him, and Locke
believes that Clarendon's bad actions are the cause of his
death.
Watson inquires about Miss Frances Nolan. Her parents were
killed, when someone bombed their carriage. Their other
daughter, Loreta Nolan, managed to survive. The two sisters
are the only heirs to Malcom Nolan's company.
The Regulars
------------
Let's see what the regulars have to say, eh?
Edward Hall, being the barrister at the place where Miss
Nolan is being held, is able to let Holmes and Watson in to
see her. She claims that she remembers nothing, besides
waking up at Halliday's with a pistol in her hand, standing
over Clarendon's body. The only thing she remembers before
then is having dinner with Dr. Trevelyan.
Miss Nolan says she first met Clarendon at the estate of
Cornelius Oldwine. She went there to pick up her sister,
and she was surprised when Clarendon professed an interest
in her. The two soon fell in love, and he proposed on June
5th.
Frances says that there are two other times she has had
memory loss. The first time, she suddenly awoke on a horse,
despite the fact she is terrified of them. The second time,
she woke on Newgate Station.
Quentin Hogg and Inspector Lestrade think the Clarendon
murder is pretty open and shut.
At the London Library, Holmes and Watson read up a bit on
hypnotism, as a medical practice.
Sir Jasper Meek knows the man was shot at close range. He
believes the murder must have occurred somewhere between
three and nine in the morning.
Murray confirms that the death was due to a shot to the
chest, from a low caliber bullet. He notes that the lower
part of the victim's shirt had traces of wine.
Disraeli O'Brian notes that the victim and Loreta Nolan
have had several complaints filed against them. They were
cited for public drunkenness and unusual pranks, but no one
ever pressed charges.
Langdale Pike elaborates on the victim and Loreta Nolan,
calling them "The Terrible Twins" due to their habit of
pranking others. Guy and Loreta were not romantically
involved. Pike does not believe Clarendon was sincere when
he proposed to Frances; Holmes concludes that his interest
in Frances was limited mainly to her sizeable bank account.
Porky Shinwell knows that the victim owed seven thousand
pounds to Kilgore, the owner of a local gambling
establishment. Gus Bullock, a guard at Kilgore's, was
instructed to throw the victim out, should he ever try to
end the establishment.
A month later, though, things turned around completely.
Kilgore and the victim were seen having a grand time
together, as if they were good friends. A third man, a
thief named Calvin Leach, was part of their little group.
Sommerset House has the will of Malcolm's Nolan. His money
was separated equally, to his two daughters. This means
each daughter received one sixth of the Aberdeen Navigation
Company.
The Society Burglar
-------------------
The Times contains more details about the Society Burglar.
This includes a list of victims.
When you visit the latest victim, Sir Sanford Leeds, he
mentions that his wife is distraught over the theft of her
tiara. She last wore it at a party, during which Clarendon
poured champagne on her gown, as part of a prank. She kept
the tiara in the bottom drawer of her bureau. The thief
took nothing besides the tiara.
Roger Baker was able to replace the stolen item, without
much trouble, so he is hardly bothered by the theft. He
confirms that the thief did not search around for the item.
H. C. Hardinge says that his wife debated whether or not to
wear her bracelet to a party. She decided against it, and
when they arrived at home after the party, the bracelet had
disappeared from her jewelry box.
Otis Richmond thought a servant was the thief, as there was
no sign of a search, nor was anything disturbed. He didn't
realize it was a genuine thief, until he learned of the
rash of thefts through the Times.
Bradford Lewin says they were at a reception at Buckingham
Palace. Returning home, the wife's favorite ruby earrings
were missing.
Bessie Dearth, a widow, received the necklace for her 50th
anniversary. The house was empty, as she and Sibyl (her
housekeeper) were at a charity event during the theft. She
kept it hidden inside a book, but the thief went right to
it.
Nancy Judd's pendant was a family heirloom. She kept it
hidden inside a shoe, and she doesn't recall telling anyone
about it.
Investigation
-------------
If you visit Gerald Locke (who brought the case to Holmes'
attention), he confirms his belief that Clarendon was a
scoundrel who was only after Frances' money. Frances and
Locke fought over Clarendon. Locke has an alibi for the
murder; he has been on holiday all week, playing in a
cribbage tournament.
Sir Francis Clarendon (father of the victim) confirms that
his son was a ne'er-do-well. He disliked his son's gambling
habit, and he disliked the fact that his son spent so much
time with Loreta Nolan. Once Sir Francis refused to give
his son any more money, his son stopped visiting him.
The butler at the estate mentions that, a few weeks ago,
Guy appeared unexpectedly. He was badly beaten and refused
to say who hurt him.
Halliday's Private Hotel (under hotels) is the scene of the
murder. Clarendon had lived there for a while, though at
one point, he asked to switch rooms. Loreta Nolan visited
him often. Once, an angry man came to visit him.
On the night of the murder, Frances murder came in. She
went directly up the staircase. The clerk heard a gunshot
shortly afterwards, and he ran upstairs to find the corpse
and Frances' unconscious body.
Surprisingly, I would say, Mr. Clarendon was always at home
before ten o'clock, when the front doors of the hotel are
locked.
Inside the room, Holmes and Watson find a bank statement,
as well as a blood stain and a sherry stain. The victim had
an outfit which was all black, include a pair of shoes that
were dyed black. There are ivy vines, leading up to the
window.
You can go to Frances Nolan's house to talk to her maid,
Grace. She talks about the night of the murder. Everything
was normal, and everyone went to bed after Dr. Treveylan
left at 10:00, after the dinner. Late that night, the maid
was awoken by a noise, but she went back to sleep.
She saw Miss Frances leaving early the next morning,
sometime between 7:30 and 8:00. It struck her as unusual,
as Frances never leaves before breakfast.
When you visit Loreta Nolan, she does not seem to be
particularly disturbed by the recent events. She last saw
the victim at a party, the previous week. She doesn't
believe Clarendon was going to marry her sister, and she
understood that Frances was going to talk to Clarendon
about the marriage.
Doctor Percy Trevelyan is Loreta's doctor. He dines with
Frances every Sunday, and he visited her the night before
the murder. He speaks mainly about Loreta, who has some
psychological issues as a result of seeing her parents'
death by explosion. Loreta has created a fantasy world, in
which she is a princess.
Doctor Jerrold Mason is Frances' doctor. He does not
understand the cause of her blackouts and loss of memory.
If you visit Cornelius Oldwine, he talks about the party
where Clarendon and Loreta Nolan swam in the fountain.
Loreta later got pneumonia, forcing her sister Frances to
come and bring her home. That is where Frances first met
Clarendon.
Claude Kilgore, the gambler that Clarendon owed a debt to,
admits to meeting Clarendon a few times. He claims he does
not know Calvin Leach. If you visit Calvin Leach, he makes
the same claim. Was Porky Shinwell mistaken when he said
all three men were friends?
Gus Bullock, the guard at Kilgore's, is a rough fellow. He
seems pleased by Clarendon's murder, saying he got what he
deserved.
The final place you must visit is S. Goff's gun shop. He
remembers a woman named Frances Nolan, who arrived to
purchase a gun. Curiously enough, he gives a description of
Loreta, not Frances.
Trial
-----
When you think you're done investigating, go to trial. If
you don't have enough clues, the Judge will send you back
