Secrets of a Spotless Reputation
Mr. Black
Avocado’s trail ends here, at the home of the influential Tarns family. I’m investigating a possible connection between them and the perpetrator, and will try to catch him in the act. I’ll record everything in the Diary.
-
New Level of Mastery
Detective
Do you remember the case of the Borgia’s treasures? I think we have missed some important details. I desperately need to find a new piece of evidence. The item I require is at the %s location, but it will be hard to find. Reach %s level to find the new evidence.
Great! Partner, you have become more and more important to my investigation. With a new rank, you will be able to find new items that were hidden from you previously.
-
An Unexpected Event
Mr. Black
We might run into Avocado’s men here, so stay close. I’m armed and will cover you. But you must remain calm. Observe first, then act. Let’s go.
No signs of danger here. Nothing seems out of the ordinary. The Tarns have just gathered the upper crust of society for an afternoon tea party. And yet... why does Avocado’s Fog Door lead here? We’ll get to the bottom of this.
-
Elite Leisure
Mr. Black
We’re one step away from entering the location. What will we find there? New mysteries of the City are waiting to be uncovered. Go on, enter!
The location is now open! Do you feel the pull of new adventures? The magic of the City is calling out to us!
-
Storm Clouds Gathering
Lady Autumn
We need to be cautious about approaching the Barbecue Area. Stay quiet, and whatever you do, do not provoke the Thunderbird or it will cry out. I’ll take point. You follow me.
That rain cloud over the festival site looks heavy. But no sign of the Thunderbird yet, or the glowing sparks he emits. Let’s get a closer look. There may be something we’re missing.
-
Gifts for All!
Valerie
All the townsfolk received their dream gifts but the Mayor. Maybe Santa misplaced the Mayor’s gift by accident? That’s okay. We can make him one. Can you lend me some artifacts?
We’re all set! I wrapped the Mayor’s gift, and your artifacts helped me slip it quietly under the City’s Christmas tree. No one will be left without a present this Christmas!\n Oh, look! The Mayor’s already found it!
-
A Gift for the Capricious
Mistress
I can’t stand loud noises. All this laughing and cheering makes my ears hurt. Let’s see if my Christmas gift can take the volume down a notch. Can you fetch it for me?
Winter earmuffs? Not what I was expecting, but they do block out all the noisy Christmas cheer. I might even grow to like them once I adjust the appearance a little.
-
The Secret of Sleep
Detective
All I wanted was a good night’s sleep. I have enough trouble sleeping as is, and with so many late-night investigations recently, I’ve barely slept a wink. My gift was a nightlight. Can you find it?
It might seem childish, and I hesitated before turning it on, but once I did, I fell asleep instantly. And, hey, buddy... promise me you won’t tell anyone about this, alright?
-
Careful What You Wish For
Conductor
What did I get? Not what I asked for! Well, not exactly. I wanted a wool hat, since my old one is all worn-out. Instead, I received a sauna set. Take a look.
Technically, the set does include a wool hat. And honestly, it’s so much better than what I originally asked for. I’ve never felt so relaxed as I do after spending time in the sauna.
-
A Portable Wonder
Juliette
My gift was the Northern Lights themselves. I always wanted to see them. Are you curious how they managed to fit inside a gift box? Bring me the enchanted projector, and I’ll show you.
My gift was this enchanted projector. It doesn’t merely create an illusion of the Northern Lights; it shows you the real thing! Now I can see them whenever I want.
-
A Plush Friend
Valerie
Before checking out anyone else’s gifts, let me show you what I got. This year, I wished for a polar reindeer, just like Santa’s. Can you find him?
You found my reindeer! Isn’t he adorable? I know he’s just a plush toy, but that’s even better. I can take him with me wherever I go, and it’s too warm here for a real reindeer, anyway.
-
A Bright Sky Once More
Juliette
We’ve recovered the stars! Now, let’s return them to the night sky to light Santa’s way to the City of Shadows. Your artifacts would help. Can I borrow some?
Beautiful! Your artifacts scattered the stars across the sky, forming a snowflake-shaped constellation. That means only one thing: Santa is on his way!
-
A Bright Loss
Juliette
It’s getting dark. We need to hurry. With your grappling hook, I’ve managed to snag the sack of stars, but I can’t pull it out on my own. Can you help?
Bravo, mon ami! You pulled the stars out with ease, even though Krampus hid them deep inside the hollow of the Christmas tree. Look how sparkly they are!
-
Made from Odds and Ends
Juliette
There’s a faint yellow glow shining from the hollow of that Christmas tree. Krampus must’ve hidden the stars inside. We’ll need a grappling hook to reach them. Can you make us one?
Magnifique! What a clever design for a grappling hook. We’ll use a candy cane to make the stars stick, and a Christmas ornament as the weight to reach the bottom of the hollow. Ingenious.
-
Abnormal Weather
Juliette
The stardust leads to a section of the Climate Center buried under loose snow. Oh, Saint Julie, how are we going to get past this one? Can you find us some wicker snowshoes?
Crossing even the deepest drifts is a piece of cake with these snowshoes. I’m sure Krampus conjured this snow to hide the stars he stole. We’re on the right track!
-
A Sparkling Trail
Juliette
If Krampus hid the stars in the Climate Center, then they must have left a trace of stardust somewhere. Find us a magnifying glass made of moon quartz, and we’ll locate the sparkling trail together.
Thanks! The moon quartz in this magnifying glass reveals the faint shimmer of stardust. The stolen stars must be nearby.
-
The Detective’s Protocol
Juliette
That sly Krampus! The sky is pitch-black. Not a star in sight. Where do we even begin our search? Hmm. The Detective would start by inspecting the scene. Mon ami, can you find the celestial binoculars?
Merci! You found the celestial binoculars. I searched everywhere and found nothing. Oh, wait! There’s a single star hanging from the ledge of the Climate Center. Let’s check it out.
-
A Loyal Companion
January
We’re almost done getting Christian ready for his holiday, but there’s one last thing I want to do. We’ll need to borrow a little extra magic from the City to pull it off. Lend me some artifacts?
Your artifacts helped tremendously. I booked Christian a peaceful, snowy hike through the mountains, accompanied by a furry guide. His vacation will be truly unforgettable!
-
An Evening Activity
January
Christian loves to read, but he hasn’t had the time lately. I’ve put together a list of winter-themed books for him. Can you help me collect them?
Thank you! Christian will be thrilled by such a tall stack of Christmas books to read. Long winter nights are the best for curling up by the fireplace with a good book.
-
The Life of the Party
January
Christian plans to spend his holiday break with friends. I want to make sure they have fun, so I set out a pile of tabletop games for them to play. Can you guess which one is my favorite?
Yes! I love this game. Can’t tell you how many hours I’ve put into it. Christian and his friends will have a blast. And once he’s got the rules down, I plan on challenging him to a match. May the best mage win!
-
Meditation on Ice
January
I’ve planned a bunch of things to make Christian’s vacation more enjoyable. For instance, ice skating. Unfortunately, his ice skates are in terrible shape. Can you help me fix them?
Thank you! You’ve done a beautiful job repairing Christian’s skates. He says there’s no faster way to clear your mind than gliding across the open ice, catching snowflakes on your face.
-
A Cold-Loving Plant
January
Christian was so absorbed in his work that he neglected his favorite plant. His chillbloom should’ve already bloomed! But I know what we can do. Let’s give it some ice irrigation.
I’m not much of a gardener, but I do know that a bit of ice irrigation helps chillbloom blossoms faster. And look, it worked! Now Christian won’t need to worry about his favorite plant while he rests.
-
A Frosty Life Hack
January
Christian worked around the clock to fix the chaos Krampus caused. Let’s make him a frosty sleep mask so he can finally get some good rest.
You finished the sleep mask. Thanks! I’ve stitched a touch of crisp, chilly air into its fabric. The cool will soothe Christian’s tired eyes and help him greet the new day completely refreshed.
-
A Frosty Creation
January
I heard the Detective was planning to give his lady slippers, but all the shops are closed. That’s alright. I’ll conjure him up a pair of crystal ones, but I’ll need some artifacts to warm them.
Wonderful. Your artifacts made these crystal slippers as warm as they are beautiful. Now the Detective has a nice gift for his beloved. Any idea who she is? We’re all wondering. He’s so private about his personal life...
-
A Celebration Saved
Detective
We found the missing December Coordinator, and with his colleague January’s help, restored the winter weather. Santa’s gifts arrived on schedule, and now it’s our turn to enjoy Christmastime!
-
The Main Attribute
January
The City is filled with Christmas cheer. There’s only one thing left to do. Can you use your artifacts to light the fireplace?
Thanks! Your artifacts lit the fireplace. Everything feels warm and comfortable now... the very spirit of Christmas!
-
A Holiday Tune
January
The Christmas preparations are well underway, yet the festive spirit still doesn’t feel quite right. I know what will help. Jingle bells! Let’s try to find some.
Thanks! You can hear the bells’ silvery ring throughout the City. Isn’t that melody pure joy? It’s like the sound of Christmas itself.
-
A Ginger Reward
January
A starry, snowy Christmas will be nice, but it wouldn’t be complete without fresh-baked gingerbread. I ordered a gingerbread cake, but I’m running out of time. Can you go pick it up?
What a beautiful gingerbread cake. I’m tempted to take a bite, myself. But let’s save it for later, so we have a nice, sweet treat waiting for us after all this hard work.
-
A Holiday Atmosphere
January
How can Christmas be so close, but the Climate Center still isn’t decorated? Let’s set an example for the townsfolk with some festive décor.
Excellent choice! The decorations you found brighten the halls and fill the air with a festive mood. Now the Climate Center feels so cozy, I don’t want to leave!
-
Magical Lights
January
Snowflakes may sparkle, but no Christmas is complete without starlight. Christmas Eve is near, yet when I look up, I can’t see a single star. Can you?
You found the shining stars! Thanks. I’ve cleared away the clouds; now the stars are shining brighter than ever, like heaven itself is eager to join the festivities.
-
The Scent of Christmas
January
Christian loves being warm and cozy. To truly feel Christmas is coming, you need something that warms you to the soul. Let’s brew a drink that will spread the feeling of festive cheer.
Thanks! This fragrant, heart-warming drink lifted the townspeople’s spirits. You can see how eagerly they’ve begun preparing for Christmas now. We’re on the right track!
-
Polar Delivery
January
We’ve created the right weather, and Santa’s sleigh is en route. All that’s left to do is signal that the City is ready for Santa to land. Do you have any artifacts with you?
Your artifacts sent the signal straight to Santa’s station. Look, his sleigh is already racing over the City! The townspeople will receive their Christmas gifts on time.
-
Invigorating Coolness
January
Santa’s sleigh is pulled by hardy reindeer from the North Pole, and warm air makes them sluggish. Please find the outdoor thermometer so we can check if it’s cold enough for them.
The thermometer confirms the temperature is perfect for Santa’s reindeer. They’ll be lively, fast, and ready to deliver gifts across the City.
-
Landing Control
January
Ugh. Not again! I miscalculated, and the streams of frost magic have whipped up a full-blown blizzard. Santa’s reindeer won’t be able to see where they’re going! Quick, let’s find the marshalling wands.
Thanks for finding the marshalling wands. I’ll meet Santa’s sleigh and guide it down myself. With these wands, the presents will be delivered right on schedule. Christian would be proud.
-
Perfect Snow Recipe
January
Oh, no! The sudden drop in temperature is causing too much ice to form. The snow is frozen solid. Santa’s sleigh runners can’t land safely on icy rooftops, meaning the presents could be delayed. Can you get the snow softener?
Thanks for finding the snow softener! I spread it around with a frosty gust, turning the snow into light, powdery drifts... the ideal conditions for Santa’s sleigh to land.
-
Weather Life Cycle
January
We have snow for now, but it won’t stick around long before melting. We need a powerful freezing machine to hold the temperature at a nice, low chill. Can you find it?
Nice work! You found the freezing machine. I’ve changed the temperature setting to "Winter," so the snow won’t melt until spring. Santa’s helpers should arrive right on schedule.
-
Snowstorm Magic
January
I was so worried about Christian that I forgot to check the weather. Still not a snowflake in sight. How will Santa’s sleigh navigate the City? We need snowfall, and fast. Turn on the snow cannon!
Thanks. That’s better! The burst of snow from the cannon has transformed the City into a winter wonderland. Now Santa’s sleigh will be able to glide safely from rooftop to rooftop.
-
A Feathered Mail Carrier
Detective
We’re close to solving the mystery of Christian’s disappearance, but when I try to piece the clues together, the answer still eludes me. Lend me some artifacts to point us in the right direction.
Look, buddy. We’ve got a visitor. This polar owl just swooped down to deliver an envelope to us. Since it appears to have been summoned by the artifacts’ light, the letter must contain the truth about Christian.
-
An Urgent Matter
Detective
We need more evidence to confirm my theory about Christian’s disappearance. But if I’m right, there should be a valise around here somewhere. Can you find it?
Well done, buddy. This valise will help move the case forward. Christian must’ve taken a smaller bag and left this one behind with his extra stuff in it. But where was he headed?
-
A Change of Style
Detective
I have a theory about where Christian went. I found a receipt for several Hawaiian shirts with a recent date of purchase. Not exactly winter clothes! Can you find one?
Yep. This is one of Christian’s new Hawaiian shirts. January says they aren’t the kind of thing Christian would normally wear. But he still bought them. Why?
-
Winter Amusement
Detective
January insists Christian likes everything in order, but his belongings are scattered everywhere. I even tripped over a Christmas wreath left lying on the floor. Luckily, it was soft! But... why?
Turns out, the wreath is actually an inflatable ring. But why would Christian need that in December? It’s not something you would use in the snow.
-
An Impractical Accessory
Detective
I noticed Christian had a pair of snow glasses earlier. The lenses are coated with a special anti-reflection tape to protect the wearer against snow blindness. Clever, eh? Can you help me find them?
At first, I didn’t think much of these snow glasses. But January says Christian never goes outside without them during winter... until now, that is. Very strange.
-
Hot and Cold
Detective
We need to figure out where the December Coordinator has disappeared to. I noticed a strange drink near Christian’s chair while I was searching earlier. Can you find out what it is?
It’s... a cocktail? Mmm. Smells refreshing. But who drinks these in the middle of winter? January just confirmed my suspicion that Christian doesn’t even like cold drinks. So why’d he decide to make one now?
-
The Whole Truth
Detective
Though it’s clear January likes Christian, it seems like she’s guarding her answers about him. She may be hiding something. Could you lend me some artifacts, buddy? I’d like to shine a light on her true intentions.
Your artifacts’ glow revealed a mailbox containing two theater tickets. January sent them. So, she invited Christian to a play. But why would she hide that?
-
The Coordinator’s Secret
January
I stopped by the Climate Center because I wanted to talk to Christian about a puppet theater he built recently. Have you seen it?
Isn’t this puppet theater marvelous? The sets and weather effects are Christian’s pride and joy. If you look closely, you can see his initials hidden at the edge of the stage. I’m the only person he ever showed that to.
-
All in Their Place
January
Christian and I made an amazing team. He created the winter weather, and I held it steady. I don’t know why he was in a rush to leave. His timing was usually perfect with everything. Have you seen his timer anywhere?
Yes, that’s Christian’s wind-up timer. He swore by it; he said time management was just another kind of magic, the only way he could get everything done before Christmas.
-
The Warmth of Friendship
January
I’ve always appreciated Christian’s caring nature. I made him a gift, too. Even winter mages get cold sometimes, so I knitted him a vest to keep warm. It’s on the hanger. Can you get it, please?
I added sunbeams to the yarn in this vest to make it extra warm. I was saving it for Christmas, but then Christian disappeared.
-
A Gift from a Friend
January
What was my relationship with the December Coordinator like? It was great. Christian is a dear friend. We talked frequently. He even gave me a cardboard nutcracker. It’s around here somewhere.
This cardboard nutcracker is actually an Advent calendar. Christian made it for me, filling the drawers with my favorite sweets. He was very thoughtful.
-
A Business Lady
January
Of course I’ll answer your questions, if it helps us find the December Coordinator. It’ll be a nightmare getting the City ready for Christmas without him. But before we begin, let’s light the first Advent candle.
Thanks! With the first Advent candle lit, Christmas already feels a little closer. There’s so much still to do: conjure the festive spirit, summon the winter snows... Gosh, how did Christian manage to do all this on his own?
-
A Planned Absence
Detective
From the evidence, it seems the December Coordinator may have been kidnapped, but there’s still no definitive proof. If only we could shed some light on the case. Hey, buddy, can you lend me some artifacts?
The artifacts shed their light on the desk calendar. I thought it was just outdated, but there’s a hidden compartment with Christian’s notes inside! This is exactly what we need.
-
A Secret Message
Detective
Found something, buddy: a pneumatic mail capsule. Christian must have written a message, but for some reason, didn’t send it. The lock’s jammed. Can you open it?
Thanks. You opened that capsule faster than I could blink. Let’s see. There are reports inside and not much else. Christian filled all of these out ahead of time. January has verified this is his handwriting.
-
A Holiday Shake-up
Detective
It’s chaos in here, like someone turned the whole place over: the boxes have been rifled through, the decorations scattered everywhere. Let’s take a look at that box of ornaments.
Nothing unusual here. Just ornaments waiting to be hung on the Christmas tree. But according to January, Christian always decorated ahead of time. He wouldn’t leave such an important task unfinished.
-
A Box with a Surprise
January
I was searching for December’s weather forecast when I noticed a strange box on the cupboard I’d never seen before. Could it hold a clue to Christian’s fate? Think you can get it down?
Inside the box were stacks of signed Christmas cards. That’s just like Christian to be prepared so far in advance. But why didn’t he send them? I hope he’s alright.
-
A Second Home
Detective
I’ve searched through Christian’s personal belongings. January says he practically lived at work this past holiday season. Look, his house slippers are still here... but what happened to them?
The slippers are a little worn, sure, but that’s normal. What is suspicious is that one shows recent damage. Could be evidence of a struggle. Did someone drag Christian off?
-
Cold Tea
Detective
Where is the December Coordinator? Was he really kidnapped? The crime scene might be able to point us to where he went, if we look closely. What do you make of that tea set, buddy?
This Christmas tea set was arranged for a small tea party, but one cup was knocked over, nearly drenching the papers on the desk. Good point, buddy; looks like someone left here in a hurry.
-
Rushing for Christmas
Detective
It’s almost Christmas, but almost nothing is ready for Santa yet. The December Coordinator going missing has put the entire holiday in jeopardy. We need to find him. I’ll write our notes in the Diary.
-
New Level of Mastery
Detective
Do you remember the case of the Borgia’s treasures? I think we have missed some important details. I desperately need to find a new piece of evidence. The item I require is at the %s location, but it will be hard to find. Reach %s level to find the new evidence.
Great! Partner, you have become more and more important to my investigation. With a new rank, you will be able to find new items that were hidden from you previously.
-
An Impressive Place
Detective
From the outside, the Climate Center looks like any other reputable institution. I wonder what the inside looks like? Lumica included an entry pass with her letter. Let’s use it.
The Climate Center is bigger than it looks from the outside. It’s clearly enchanted. But there’s more at work here than just magic. There’s a ton of machinery, too. Check out that snow cannon.
-
Heavy-Duty Surveillance
Detective
We’re one step away from entering the location. What will we find there? New mysteries of the City are waiting to be uncovered. Go on, enter!
The location is now open! Do you feel the pull of new adventures? The magic of the City is calling out to us!
-
A Bountiful Harvest
Mr. Rain
I made Peter and Dorothy’s grandparents an enchanted Rainwatering Can. It never runs out of water. But it’s fragile. We need to fortify it with the City’s magic so it doesn’t break in transit. Can we use your artifacts?
Thanks! Now Peter and Dorothy’s grandparents will never fear droughts. I hope this is enough to make up for their missing turkey. Though truth be told, Cliff is so much more than that. To me, he’s priceless.
-
When the Sky Cleared
Lady Autumn
It took some effort, but we freed the "Thunderbird," cheered up Mr. Rain, and made this Thanksgiving one to remember for the whole City. I’d call that a success.
-
A Natural Thrill
Mr. Rain
As happy as I am to be at this festival, my droplets are flooding the pumpkin bowling alley. No one is able to play a complete game. I wonder if your artifacts could dry it out? Lend me some?
Thank you! The radiance of your artifacts dried up the flooded parts of the pumpkin bowling alley. I even bowled a strike. I feel so content. The clouds have scattered, and... ooh, look! A rainbow.
-
A Splash of Color
Lady Autumn
To brighten up this rainy Thanksgiving Day, I’ve painted raincoats with autumn colors for the townsfolk. Go ahead and grab one. Remember, our goal is to be as festive as possible today.
You look fabulous in that raincoat. The other guests all have one, too, so everyone stays cozy and dry with Mr. Rain around. Oh, look! The clouds are already parting. See that patch of blue sky?
-
Bullseye!
Peter
Every year during the first autumn rain, I like to sit in the gazebo and shoot down chestnuts with a slingshot. I can’t seem to find my good one. Have you seen it?
Aww, my old slingshot! Thanks. I told Valerie about our game. We’re going to hold a chestnut-shooting tournament. How many do you think you can hit?
-
The Half-Full Umbrella
Valerie
Here’s another game for a rainy day: catching raindrops in an umbrella. Whoever collects the most, wins! I only have one umbrella, but if you can find one for yourself, we can play!
You won! Good game. By the way, did you notice that Mr. Rain himself was moving the clouds, so we could chase the drops? He was playing with us. I even caught him smiling.
-
Fall D.I.Y.
Dorothy
Whenever we need a quieter activity, we sit by the fire in the gazebo and make art projects with fallen leaves. I saw a big pile over there. Let’s weave them into a garland.
What a beautiful garland! See how festive the gazebo looks now? Mr. Rain is going to love it... if he ever gets out from under his cloud of sadness.
-
Ready, Set, Go!
Peter
I know a game: Puddle Tag! Dorothy and I are really good at it. You’ll need waterproof shoes, like our galoshes, or you won’t stand a chance. Find yourself a pair!
Nice galoshes. With those keeping your feet dry, you’re ready for a game of Puddle Tag. This is a game of speed and powerful splashes. But don’t forget to have fun. Ready? One, two, three... yippee!
-
Whole Again
Valerie
I was petting Cliff just now and found the other half of the amulet. It was stowed away under his wing. So, that’s who opened the portal to the City! But the fragment doesn’t look magical. Strange. Let’s reassemble it with some artifacts.
Wow. That was bright. But the artifacts worked and fused the two halves of the amulet back together. Now that we know what happened, we can finally celebrate! Just as soon as this rain lets up...
-
Broken Memory
Dorothy
While I was helping Cliff, my purse opened by accident and the amulet from the City of Shadows fell out. Cliff, being his curious self, started pecking at it. But... oh, no. Where is my purse? It’s not here. Can you help me find it?
Thanks for finding my purse. Half of the amulet is still inside. It broke when Cliff pecked it, and a portal opened. Cliff jumped inside, we followed him, and here we are.
-
A Keepsake
Dorothy
I wanted Cliff to be safe, so I made him a beaded pet tag with his name to identify him in case we got separated. Here, take a look.
I carved these beads by hand. Eventually, we had to let Cliff go. He didn’t do anything wrong. He would’ve come to you if you’d called for him. Like I said. He’s smart.
-
A Friend’s Duty
Peter
The latch broke while we were getting Cliff out of his pen. I put the latch in my pocket to fix later, so Grandpa wouldn’t be angry with me, but I must’ve lost that while we were on the run, too. Can you help me find it?
Yep, that’s the latch to Cliff’s pen! Thanks. I’ll fix the pen later. Once Cliff was free, I told him to run away, but he wouldn’t go, and Dorothy refused to leave him.
-
A Tasteful Escape
Peter
We had to save Cliff from becoming dinner. We took off with the menu, as well as Grandma’s cookbook. But I lost the book somewhere on our way here. Could you help me find it?
Yes, that’s my Grandma’s cookbook. The moment I saw that she’d circled all the turkey dishes, I knew we had to save Cliff. But things didn’t go as planned.
-
A Memorable Landscape
Dorothy
We never wanted to eat Cliff. He’s our friend. He lived on our grandparents’ farm. I drew a picture of it, but the wind blew it out of my hands. Mind helping me look for it?
Thanks for finding my drawing! It must’ve gotten wet, but you can still make out the farmhouse and all the pretty colors. That was Cliff’s home. See? I told you.
-
Connected by Friendship
Lady Autumn
We’re ready to lift the spell. When the turkey sees its friend and gobbles in harmony with the yazh harp, the thunder will be drawn out of its voice and be redirected into the vessel. Lend me some artifacts.
It worked! The yazh harp resonated along with the turkey’s gobble, and the artifacts’ glow guided the energy of its voice into the vessel. Cliff has been successfully disenchanted. But the rain hasn’t let up yet. Did we miss something?
-
An Unusual Seal
Mr. Rain
The yazh harp will draw the thunder energy out of the turkey’s gobble. But we need a vessel to catch it in, and a stopper to hold it. I’ll take care of the vessel if you find us a stopper.
Ah, yes. This stopper will contain the turkey’s call, though whether or not the process leads to a new friendship remains to be seen. If I don’t have any friends, how could this bird...?
-
The Power of Sound
Mr. Rain
Hopefully, disenchanting the turkey will finally put me on the path to making new friends. First, the volume of the yazh harp must be raised to match the turkey’s gobble. Please, find me an amplifier.
Thanks for finding the amplifier. Let’s connect it to the yazh harp. Now the instrument can equal the turkey’s gobble. But, we’re not finished. There are a few more steps.
-
A Thunderous Accompaniment
Mr. Rain
My yazh harp, a magical instrument, transforms thunder into friendship energy. But when that turkey became enchanted, it unleashed chaos on the entire festival, and the yazh harp was lost in the commotion. Help me find it?
The yazh harp could’ve helped me make a new friend. Oh well. To disenchant the turkey, the bird and harp both need to sing in harmony. But the harp is too quiet, and the turkey’s gobble too loud. It needs more power.
-
Not a Sound
Mr. Rain
The turkey’s gobble is as loud as a thunderclap. That part isn’t my fault. You’ll need to shield your eardrums if you’re going to help me break the spell. Try to find some form of hearing protection.
Great. These headphones should provide ample hearing protection. It’ll sound just like the moment I arrived at the party, when everyone fell dead silent. That’s why I built an instrument to turn thunder into the energy of friendship.
-
Familiar Sounds
Mr. Rain
I never meant to enchant the turkey. I just didn’t want to wait around forever to be invited to the festival. But, let’s keep our focus on the bird. I’ll need a turkey whistle to calm it down. Can you find one?
Thanks. This whistle should work. The turkey’s stopped flapping its wings, but I can still hear its gobble. Harsh, just like the people at this festival. As soon as I showed up, everyone ran for the hills.
-
On the Front Page
Adeline Svensson
Mr. Rain will surely stop by your art exhibit once he reads about it in the newspaper. But it’s too overcast to take a decent photo. I need a stronger flash. Mind lending me some artifacts?
Cheese! Your artifacts made the flash bright enough to capture an excellent, newspaper-worthy photo. See? The latest edition will be out before you know it.
-
A Welcome Guest
Valerie
It wouldn’t hurt to send a direct invitation to Mr. Rain, so he knows the art exhibit is open to visitors. I’ve prepared a golden invitation, but can’t remember which folder I put it in. Can you find it?
Thanks. This is the invitation I made for Mr. Rain. But how should I deliver it to him?\n On second thought, it might be better to make an announcement in the newspaper. I’ll ask Adeline to write a press release.
-
While My Violin Gently Weeps
Lady Autumn
Let’s add some background music to really draw Mr. Rain in. He once told me he could listen to a maple violin for hours. Just so happens we have one. Think you can find it?
You’ve found the maple violin! Its tone is like a crisp autumn morning. I’ll play it for Mr. Rain; something melancholy. Maybe it will move him enough to confess why he enchanted a Thanksgiving turkey and ruined our festival.
-
A Verbal Genius
Valerie
We need a few more pieces to make our exhibit truly irresistible. Mr. Rain must be a fan of sculpture. I once found the bust of a playwright left behind by the fog. No idea where it’s being stored now. Can you look around?
Hurray! You found the playwright’s bust. It fits the vibe of our exhibit, don’t you think? I’ve placed it next to the straw turkey. Now we have a sculpture corner.

Rays of Fall
Lady Autumn
We’ll need better lighting to up the fall factor and make the exhibit more aesthetic. Mr. Rain feels inspired by the glow of sunlight on autumn leaves. We could recreate the same effect with a stage light and a leaf stencil. Can you find the light?
Perfection! This stage light casts just the right amount of warm light. Let’s place it so it illuminates all of our little impromptu gallery. Mr. Rain is an old soul. He’s not going to miss out on this. I promise.

Autumn Palette
Lady Autumn
What if we organize an art exhibit? Rain loves art. He’d surely take human form to attend. Then, we could speak to him face-to-face. A watercolor of autumn would make an excellent centerpiece. Can you locate one?
Thank you for finding this beautiful fall painting! Watercolor is Mr. Rain’s favorite technique. He tried it out for a while, but never got past the mixing stage. Always added too much water. I’m sure he’ll come to admire this piece, though.

A Caged Bird
Lady Autumn
The Thunderbird wields the power of three different elements, along with the Magic of Nature. I fear my charms alone won’t be enough to restrain him. I’ll need to draw some power from the City, as well. Lend me some artifacts.
We’ve got a live one! Your artifacts cast the Thunderbird in a whole new light. But will they be able to contain his storm? Wait. Nothing’s happening. Oh, no. That’s not the Thunderbird inside the cage. It’s... a turkey. Still, its gobble is pretty loud.

Trilling in a Box
Lady Autumn
I just saw a flash of lightning. The Thunderbird’s close. We need to conceal our trap so he doesn’t spot it from a mile off. We could use that roller organ to mimic the sound of a bird and draw him in. Quick, wind it up!
The chirp of this roller organ sounds pretty authentic. The Thunderbird won’t suspect a thing. The moment he steps into that cage for a treat, we slam it shut and lock it. Just be sure to cover your ears.

Tasty Bait
Lady Autumn
According to the legend, the Thunderbird prefers to eat overripe grain infused with the power of earth and sun. It must be hungry by now. Its favorite food would make the perfect bait. See if you can find some.
That grain you found is well past its expiration date. Exactly what the Thunderbird craves. I’ll pour some into this enchanted cage. It should be strong enough to withstand a storm. Then, we’ll place it somewhere the Thunderbird can’t miss it.

Chasing the Wind
Valerie
I’ve found tracks leading toward the grain sacks, and a sparkling feather lying smack-dab in the middle of a fresh puddle. Those must be from our Thunderbird. The wind’s picking up. Can you grab that feather before we lose it?
Beautiful. This feather must have fallen off while the suspect was stuffing his beak with grain. But Lady Autumn doesn’t think it belongs to the Thunderbird. Certainly looks like it could, though, right?

Coming Home to Roost
Valerie
If the Thunderbird actually did escape from the Spirits of Nature, he could be trying to hide among the farm’s laying hens. We should easily be able to spot an intruder with a quick headcount. Would you fetch the bird-counting abacus?
What a handy, uh, device. I’ve counted the hens with the bird-counting abacus, but there’s nothing suspicious. The numbers are correct. However, the hens are out of food. So, the Thunderbird wasn’t hiding here, after all. But he did stop by for a quick meal.

Following the Thunder
Lady Autumn
Catching the Thunderbird will be no easy task, but the future of the City depends on it. Valerie has already drawn us a map showing where that feathery menace was last sighted. Can you pick it up so we can take a look?
Excellent. This map will point us in the right direction. Looks like the Thunderbird was first spotted on the farm, near the pen, during the egg-laying competition. Let’s start there.

Holiday Plans
Valerie
The Thunderbird himself has disrupted our Thanksgiving festivities. But where did he come from? And is he the cause of all this rain? Only one way to find out. I’ll record everything we learn in the Diary.

The Abode of Darkness
Valerie
This Hotel takes "gloomy" to a whole ’nother level. Still, I’m not spending Halloween in my pajamas whispering incantations into a mirror like last year. Come on!
Looks like the Detective’s been given special permission to enter the Hotel. What if we pretend to be his assistants? Hurry! I can’t wait to see a real-life "monster mash" from the inside.

You Reap What You Sow
Mr. Rain
You want to know what I’m searching for? My rainbow grains. They fell out of my pocket while I was bowling, and now they’re scattered among the fallen leaves. Could you use your artifacts to reveal them?
Your artifacts revealed two rainbow grains. But where are the rest? Ah, I see. They dissolved into the animals and objects around us! But don’t worry, they’re completely harmless.

A Loyal Friend
Valerie
I overheard someone say they’d seen a blue dog near the kids’ table at the picnic. It could be the next clue in our color mystery. At the very least, we should take a look.
Aww, what a sweet doggy. And a perfectly normal doggy, except for his sky-blue fur. Oddly enough, Mr. Rain is searching here, too. Could he be involved in this?
-
A Vagrant Bird
Valerie
The picnic is overflowing with unnatural colors. There’s a goose wandering around that’s as yellow as a lemon! That has to be magical. Let’s try to catch it. You go right. I’ll go left.
Good job! But it turns out the goose you caught is just an ordinary goose. Maybe a little yellower than usual. I wonder if it ate something. I’ll check its feed.
-
A Bright Flame
Valerie
Okay, this picnic is clearly enchanted. The proof? That campfire is burning bright green! Those appear to be ordinary logs, but the flames are the color of glittering emeralds. You see it, too, right?
So, I’m not imagining it. The fire really is green. No doubt, there’s magic at play. We have to uncover the source of these unusual colors. The City could be in danger.
-
A Purple Harvest
Valerie
Get this. One of the picnic guests was eating purple corn. Not purple maize. I mean, bright purple, almost glowing. I wonder what it tastes like. Maybe there’s another ear of it somewhere.
Excellent. You found the purple corn! Yum. It may have grown that way due to the soil. Although, considering this next piece of evidence, probably not.
-
A Scarlet Harvest
Valerie
Is there some kind of modern art thing going on at the picnic? One of the bales of straw is glowing bright red. Think you can find the one in question?
That’s the one. Not your usual bale of straw, is it? No. It’s blood-red. Something unusual is going on here. But are these just party tricks, or is it something more sinister?

All Under One Cover
Mr. Rain
We’ve collected all of my poems, but they’re just scraps and scribbles. I don’t think Adeline will accept them in this disjointed state. We need to transfer them onto clean paper, but my magic isn’t dry enough for that. Can you lend me some artifacts?
Your artifacts have bound my verses safely in this elegant notebook. Every word is intact. The paper absorbed my poems like the earth drinks the rain. I am ready to give my work to the world.
