Three Clues - Who Am I?

[Rath Darkblade]

So ... are you part of the background?

And ... are you found on the grounds of the mansion (as opposed to inside the mansion)?

[notbobsmith]

Are you part of the background (e.g. scenery, a picture, a statue etc.)?

I'm going to say no, but it depends on how you define background.

It's quite simple. Every screen that you're in has background scenery (e.g. there are any amount of knick-knacks in Colonel Dijon's bedroom). You don't interact with them all, but they are there, just for decoration. That's what I mean by "part of the background".

Then, yes.

Are you found in the chapel?

No

And ... are you found on the grounds of the mansion (as opposed to inside the mansion)?

No (remember, inside a building)

[Tawmis]

Dang it - the scared clue thing - made me think chapel because of the floor.

Are you in the... secret passage, I guess you could say, accessed from the garden?
(Where all the bodies are found eventually)

[Rath Darkblade]

Hmm -- are you the collection of bodies?

I am stowed away ........................................................ yes, because the killer dumped them down the laundry chute
With courage I won't be lost ............................................ yes, if Laura solves the mystery
Look inside and... GASP! ................................................ yes -- if Laura makes it that far

No

New clue:
I am a location for a victim.

[Rath Darkblade]

Sigh. I only played this game through once, and I think one of the victims (Clarence?) changes location from game to game.

Are you the Murphy bed?

I am stowed away ........................ yes, in the wall
With courage I won't be lost ............ ???
Look inside and... GASP! ................ yes -- the dead Clarence is on the bed

[Tawmis]

Are you the well?
Stowed away (a body is), the courage and won't be lost is throwing me off, but look inside (when you pull up the bucket)...

Scratch that. Forgot - inside.

Are you inside Lillian's Play House?

[notbobsmith]

Sigh. I only played this game through once, and I think one of the victims (Clarence?) changes location from game to game.

No (not in the Mansion)

Are you inside Lillian's Play House?

No

[Tawmis]

Wait.

Are you the boat in the barn?

The boat is stowed away...
The courage won't be lost is a reference to Gilligan's Island theme song "If not for the courage of a fearless crew the Minnow would be lost..." (I can't remember if the boat in LB is called "The Minnow" as a reference, which would be great, if it was!)
Look inside - and there's the body of one of the victims!

[Rath Darkblade]

I think Tawm may be right, since the LB boat is called "Minnow". Sigh.

[Tawmis]

I think Tawm may be right, since the LB boat is called "Minnow". Sigh.

Is it really called MINNOW?

Hah, I did not remember if it was or not.

[Rath Darkblade]

One sec, let me find it ... ah, here - from the Sierra Chest:



Trust me. Minnow. (All right, that pun was bad, even for me...) *blush*

[notbobsmith]

Wait.

Are you the boat in the barn?

The boat is stowed away...
The courage won't be lost is a reference to Gilligan's Island theme song "If not for the courage of a fearless crew the Minnow would be lost..." (I can't remember if the boat in LB is called "The Minnow" as a reference, which would be great, if it was!)
Look inside - and there's the body of one of the victims!

Yes I am!

And correct on all three counts. And, as Rath pointed out, the boat is named the Minnow.

[Rath Darkblade]

Hey, no fair! I never found the body of any victim in that boat.

[Tawmis]

Hey, no fair! I never found the body of any victim in that boat.

Where the bodies are found can change.

For example - I can't remember who ends up dead in the gazeboo - but there's a chance of instead of being there - they end up in the well, if memory serves me right.

So if you didn't find the body in the boat, it was already moved, or the body that's in the boat was in a different location.
