Case of the Golden Idol: Case 7 Walkthrough
Case 7: The Strange Practices of a Secret Society
Nobody needs a name here. Instead you identify masks and robes, the rite and each member’s house and rank upstairs, the person in the woods, and the ritual downstairs.
Words:
Woods
- Pocket watch in the green bag: David, Gorran
Headquarters
- Red banner: Darkhands, Proudbeast, Watersnake
- Blue banner: Master, Steward, Initiate
- Scrolls on the right: Walter, Keene, Lazarus, Herst, Jeffery, Sinclair
Lower room
- Man on the right: Signaled
- Scroll around the statue’s neck: Inception, Evaluation, Transition, Admission
Upper room
- Top poster: Challenged, Poison, Drank
- Left poster: Squabble, Conflict
- Right poster: Dispute, Discord
- Man on the left: Tray
- Centre altar: Cup
- Green mask: Tankard
- Red mask: Sword
- Blue mask: Scepter
Hints:
- There are two sets of footprints in the woods, so more than one person is in on something.
- Members are branded with their house and rank. You have seen these marks before.
- A full rank reads house first, then rank, for example a Watersnake Initiate.
- The pictures in the lower room are small riddles. You only need three of them to name the rite.
- A scroll tells you which house Walter Keene belongs to, and who is challenging him.
- Junior members would not be trusted with the important jobs, and senior ones would not be handed the menial ones.
- Look at how the members stand and which decorations are on display to rule out the wrong rituals.
- Ask who would brand a new initiate: anyone, or a member of the house they are joining?
