  1. As I thought. Every oubliette has the same easily exploited flaw...Okay, I have really caught something's attention now. Is it the Castle?
  2. I turn back and there is nothing but blank walls. I am in an oubliette. It's about two meters square. Like this has never happened before.
  3. I turn around and the corridor I came in through is gone. There's nothing there but an unbroken wall. This is going to be one of Those days.
  4. Got to the end of the corridor! A sad accomplishment when you realize it's only 7 meters long. But it's not like I'm being paid by the hour.
  5. That was tricky. How odd. I feel like...something has...noticed me. But I don't see anyone. Even a Gentleman Adventurer can get the willies.
  6. Ho! Another trap, positioned so that the only way to enter it is by escaping from the last one. Those old Heterodynes were twisted devils.
  7. Interesting. Have encountered my first trap. A rather crude deadfall with electrified spikes. This actually surprises people? Oh, please.
  8. Finding young Wulfenbach will be a challenge. Perhaps I can enlist some of the prisoners. This will be a chance for them to Do Some Good.
  9. Castle Heterodyne is big. Piranesi big. I like it. It's a place where you can install a gigantic killer clank and it won't seem 'cramped'.
  10. I am delivered to the gate by a guard unit. Once there I'm unshackled. Tempted to take a few of them down, but they're just pawns. Like me.
  11. Like all prisoners in the castle, I'm outfitted with an exploding collar. Ha! The fools, my head is the least dangerous part of my body.
  12. I have been charged with going into Castle Heterodyne and retrieving the Baron's son; Gilgamesh. Alive. Unharmed. Sane. Two out of three?
  13. I don't remember much about Grantz capturing me. It was fast, confusing and rather unsporting. Probably a perfect job in her eyes. Now what?
  14. My hands are released. Tingly. Grantz, the Baron's monster hunter, keeps a gun on me at all times. Very professional. I'm given a recorder.
  15. I have been having a great deal of trouble with this recording device. I have banged it on a variety of different rocks to little effect.
  16. Been too long since I saw so many people. My host says that I collapsed on the road, they robbed me, and put me to bed. Charmingly honest.
  17. Now I have to try and remember what that Tarvek fellow said. I think I have to head to the East. He said something about Mechanicsburg.
  18. Perhaps this isn't an "either/or" situation. I can leave Oslaka in the sewers of Paris, thrash the Other, and be back for her by Christmas.
  19. But...then the Other will devastate the world. It might do so anyway, but I KNOW what will happen if I go to Oslaka. But I was so happy.
  20. This is wonderful! I can see her again! Of course she won't know me. She's still living in the sewers of Paris. I...I could do it all again.
