Sweet Vice
Valerie
Know what else I love? Cupcakes with Strawberries. You won't deny me this one little vice, will you? Bring me one pretty pretty please!
Here, try some yourself. Muffins with Strawberries are so delicious. There are other things I haven’t tried, you know, like chocolate fondue, almond shortbread, churchkhela... It’s time to make a list.
-
Varied Vittles
Valerie
I can't eat the same thing all the time on the cruise. If you could just find me one generously-sized traditional Dessert from Provence, I'd be in seventh heaven. Please...?
Mmm, the French sure know how to make desserts. This dessert is all the proof you need.
-
Sweet Treats for the Journey
Valerie
Thanks for the panna cotta, it was delicious! I know the sea voyage will start soon - I saw the captain gathering up provisions. Only, it's all meaty and spicy. There's nothing sweet, and we can't have that. What will I eat on the journey? Bring me some savarin, please. It doesn't take up too much space.
I told you, Savarin is small and won’t get in anyone’s way.
-
Favorite Treat
Alex
Let’s see if quantity can beat candy quality. Valerie really likes Panna Cotta with Raspberries. I beg you, please find some. The Captain’s good fortune may depend on it.
I’ll pray to Lady Luck that the Panna Cotta with Raspberries will distract Valerie from ideas of adventure.
-
Distracting with Candy
Captain Drake
Women on a ship are bad luck. I don’t like the idea of Valerie travelling on my ship at all. I think, if we bring something sweet like chocolate nuts for example, she’ll forget this idea. Can you get hold of some?
The chocolate nuts didn’t work their magic? Valerie is munching on them like a squirrel, but she still hasn’t forgotten her idea of going on a sea voyage.
-
A Dog’s Life
Cardsharp
We’ve gathered five dogs of different breeds to defend the cafe. Now I have... sorry, we have a whole pack of dogs. We need to house them somehow. Enclosures, cages... Can you take care of that? You can use magic to speed up the process. Artifacts that increase your strength and agility will come in handy. And I’m going to prepare several presents for you to show my gratitude.
I swear by my top hat, even I couldn’t have done better! Each dog has its own little house and the cages have been signed for. We could hold tours, for a price of course. Also, potential thieves will see what they have to look forward to.
-
Gladiator Dog
Cardsharp
I’m probably going to need a Mastiff as well. They’re a legendary breed of dog whose career began back in the era of Alexander the Great. The Romans saw fighting potential in these dogs. They dressed them in armour and used them as gladiators in the arenas, pitting them against bears, tigers and lions. Will you try and find one for me?
I didn’t believe before that the English Mastiff was the largest breed of dog on the planet, but now I see it. It’s no wonder these dogs were used to form battle units. They truly are invincible in armour.
-
Loyal Friend
Cardsharp
I’d be so happy if you could find a Pit Bull Terrier. These dogs are infinitely loyal, have a happy temperament and are very sociable.
Wonderful! This brown Pit Bull Terrier is a very clever and loyal dog.
-
Sheepherder
Cardsharp
Please find another breed of dog - the Anatolian Shepherd. In their homeland of Turkey, these dogs are used to protect villages from wild predators.
The Anatolian Shepherd is considered a national treasure in Turkey. The people there built a monument to these dogs in gratitude for their protection.
-
Bear Hunter
Cardsharp
For variety, I suggest finding a dog from Japan. How about an Akita Inu? This dog was even used to hunt bears. But don’t worry, the dogs won’t bother obedient customers.
In the land of the rising sun, the Akita Inu is considered a symbol of loyalty, and every Japanese child dreams of having such a puppy as a friend.
-
Trained Guard Dog
Cardsharp
Many people have become envious of me recently. On top of that, monsters are constantly wandering around outside the cafe and scaring customers. You need peace and quiet for good gambling, you know. So I’ve had an idea - I want to get a few well-trained guard dogs. They’ll be able to drive away the little monsters and envious people. Please could you find a few fearless hounds? I hear Central Asian Shepherds make good guard dogs.
What a great dog! Did you know that Central Asian Shepherds have been used since ancient times to protect farmland and flocks of sheep in Central Asia? They really live up to my expectations.
-
Balancing the Scales
Isabelle
We're a step away from getting the valuable Symbol of Balance amulet. It'll be very useful for doing rituals, and I can give it to you when you need it. Alright, now we place the map on one side of the scales and the City Codex on the other. Then we balance them with the weights. Great! Now we cover it with the jar. Let's get a few more artifacts to strengthen the magical field.
This is the Symbol of Balance. Take it and carry it with you. It will balance out your light and dark sides so neither will be able to influence you.
-
City on the Map
Isabelle
I have almost everything ready. There’s one last thing - a map of the City. Any will do, as long as it’s detailed enough.
Yes, this map will do. Now I have everything I need. Will you help me? Place the map on the table, put the balance scales on top, and don't forget about the scale pans.
-
Weighing It All
Isabelle
When weighing, we’ll need a set of weights. See if you can find some.
A brand new Set of Weights! It looks like they’re fresh out of a museum and have never been used.
-
Stopping the Wind
Isabelle
To ensure that the scales are accurate, we need to make sure there isn’t the slightest gust of wind. Vacuum Bell Jars are used for this. Another thing I don’t have.
I knew you’d find the jar. You always find things so quickly.
-
Pans of Balance
Isabelle
We’re missing something else. I have the Balance Scales, but the scale pans are lost. We need to find them.
You found the scale pans quickly. Let me guess – they were probably in some little Chinese store? Never mind, it doesn’t matter.
-
Codex of the City
Isabelle
While exploring the City's catacombs, I found an old ritual. It described a method of obtaining the Symbol of Balance. This is a very valuable amulet. It balances good and evil in a person and can also reveal special places where the balance of a magical field has been disturbed. Will you help me? First, find the old City Codex. It symbolises stability in the City and is an essential part of the ritual.
Yes, this is the very codex we need. It was written before the City of Shadows was founded.
-
Listen to the Heart
Isabelle
Another irreplaceable medical instrument is the Stethoscope. Do you have any idea how to find it?
You did well with the Thermometer. Now you also have a Stethoscope. Now listen to the Conductor’s heartbeat. Call me for help if anything’s wrong.
-
Temperature Measurement
Isabelle
Even though Paracelsus was self-taught, he was very talented - he used a lot of chemistry and alchemy in his work. His First-aid Kit made a diagnosis and prepared the right medicine by itself. The problem is that you can only find it by using several of Paracelsus’ medical instruments. The first of these is the Thermometer, of course. Will you find it?
You can test your find immediately. Measure the Conductor’s temperature. How is it? Is it critical yet?
-
Smoking Paraphernalia
Cardsharp
We have some wonderful things for the smoking club. Now all of these things need to be collected into a set. We’ll need a special handmade box.
Brilliant! This set will be a real magnet and will attract true gentlemen from the City of Shadows that appreciate the atmosphere of the club. And, once he has such clients, yours truly will not lose his nerve and will find a way to multiply his earnings. Thank you for your help, here's your reward.
-
Collect the Ash.
Cardsharp
Now, talking of ashtrays, I propose looking for something special, possibly handmade, with a beautiful picture.
You got everything right. You could just stand by this ashtray and admire its decorations.
-
Cut a Cigar
Cardsharp
Basically, I’ve become a bit absentminded as I’m so busy with the gaming business. I ordered some cigars, and you fulfilled this request. However, I didn’t think to order a Cigar Cutter. You will have to correct my mistakes.
That’s really good. The simpler and sharper the better. The cutter shouldn’t be covered in diamonds, or they might steal it.
-
Fire in the Pocket
Cardsharp
I have another little request. You found some cigar matches earlier. They’re good for pipes as well. However, some visitors can’t do without a Lighter for cigarettes. Will you bring one?
Looks like a rare Lighter of some kind. It also looks like it’s set with real precious stones. Everyone will be so surprised.
-
Tobacco Storage
Cardsharp
I’d also like to ask you to find some tobacco. I think you’ll need to gather a lot of different types to please all of the visitors. I think they’ll also need to be immediately put into a pouch. They will keep better and can be carried around if needed.
You haven’t just found some elite tobacco, you also found a handmade, exclusive pouch. Excellent.
-
Smoking Pipe
Cardsharp
There are many details to think of in order to create the right kind of atmosphere in a gentlemen’s smoking club. First, we need some pipes made out of valuable woods. Could you find at least one for me?
You’re really quick on the uptake. There are brier, pear and oak pipes in the collection! There’s even a meerschaum pipe. We’ll have something to surprise the most sophisticated of visitors.
-
Gaming for the Chosen Few
Cardsharp
I’m going to entertain the most talented players personally. Can you imagine - a separate room with quiet music; where all drinks are on the house. With green baize and unlimited bets. And then I, Cardsharp, will face worthy opponents at last. That’s it, that’s what I’ll call this stage of the game, for advertising purposes of course. I’ll call this stage ’The Battle at the Champions’ Table’. I would like to offer the job of designing and constructing this table to you.
I don’t just see, I can even feel the way I’m going to outplay these lovers of quick profits. The Champions’ Table! What a great idea. I feel unbounded gratitude towards you. Here’s your reward for your time. Unfortunately, I have to say my farewells. Time is unearned money for me. All the best.
-
All Bets Are Down
Cardsharp
We also need a more serious game for real players. I’m talking about roulette! Do you know the thrill of playing roulette? Your heart pounds and skips a beat... Then when you win, you jump for joy and are ready to make more and more bets. I propose that we put a roulette table right by the craps table. Let the visitors choose where to play.
Thanks to you, my dreams are coming true very quickly. Only a few are able to continue to play after roulette. But these few are unique talents!
-
Group Game
Cardsharp
I propose that we should have a separate room with a table for playing Craps. Many players will be able to play at the same time. I’m sure that you support this idea.
I was not mistaken about you, dear friend! I’m sure that the excitement of Craps will make players look for a more serious game.
-
I’ll Be in Luck.
Cardsharp
If someone has come to play, we must provide them with everything that they haven’t even thought of. For example, there’s a little Blackjack box by the Lottery and the Slot Machines. The visitors will want to test their luck... I can see that you understand and support me.
Brilliant. Blackjack is the first stage of increasing bets.
-
A New Entertainment
Cardsharp
Oh, by the way, about the Mayor. I think he’ll be very happy to see something from his past. I propose that we put a Slot Machine in the hall of the bowling club. Retro-style, of course. This will cheer up the Mayor, attract visitors and increase income. Or should I say, our income...
How grand! How absolutely grand! This ancient one-armed bandit belongs in a museum! Hopefully we'll manage to get a bit of a profit from it.
-
Lucky Ticket
Cardsharp
Now I understand that you can’t earn much with bowling. An entry ticket and some drinks are the only sources of income. I thought about how to raise the profitability of the venue and I had an idea. Why don’t we set up a casino in the neighboring hall? You must admit, it’s a genius idea. Help me to organise this and I’ll be in your debt. First, you will need a lottery ticket. Where could a working Lottery Machine be found?
You’re doing magic. I’m sure that the income into the City treasury, even from the sales made by the Lottery Machine, will even make the Mayor accept this new plan.
-
Combat Arsenal
Huntress
So, let’s look at the results of the first training session. I have to admit that Cardsharp has worked hard. He managed to surprise me. Let him keep this Arsenal of melee weapons then.
I don’t know if Cardsharp has enough willpower to train on his own without supervision. It isn’t something that puts money in his pocket. If it’s like that, he has no need for this whole Arsenal.
-
The Art of Fencing
Huntress
The pinnacle of fencing mastery is epee fencing. I would like you to find an Epee for this pupil. While we wait, I’ll teach him the correct stance. It’s not as easy as he thinks. If Cardsharp doesn’t ask for mercy after ten minutes of simple movements, while holding a stance, my opinion of him will change.
Unbelievable! Herr Cardsharp has hit the leather target on his first attempt! He definitely has talent and willpower.
-
Spear Throwing
Huntress
I don’t think we should get distracted by minor matters, pointless complaints and whining. There’s no time for that in a real fight. So it’s time to start on preemptive tactics. Striking at the enemy from a distance achieves the best outcome in a fight. Give Cardsharp a spear and I’ll put up targets. Let’s see if he’s as accurate with a spear as he is at throwing dice on a gaming table.
Incredible! The spear doesn’t even reach the target! I measured the distance at which all of the children of ancient Greece used to train. This was a compulsory part of their training. This is where Mr. Cardsharp should focus his efforts. Or should we postpone the training for several days because of this?
-
Training Axe
Huntress
After the battle hammer exercises, it is just the time to practice with an axe. This will be the first step in teaching Cardsharp fencing. Find a Training Axe.
Cardsharp seems uncomfortable with the axe exercises. Maybe we should up the tempo? Or make him fight a moving target? This should make him more enthusiastic... I doubt he’ll want to get hit back, even with the flat of the blade...
-
Heavy Weapon
Huntress
It looks like Cardsharp thinks himself a real warrior. Now he wants to learn how to use a Hammer. Can you find an appropriate one?
The Hammer is so huge that I doubt Cardsharp will be able to pick it up. I think he’ll use it as a weight to get into shape first.
-
Knife Skills
Huntress
Mein Gott! Have you thought it through? This is Cardsharp! Who knows what he needs this for. The use of melee weapons is an art form! I don’t know where to start - perhaps the Combat Knife? Find the knife and we’ll start the lessons.
I never thought that Cardsharp could do such tricks with a knife. He really is talented at everything.
-
Speleological Expedition
Huntress
We’ve finally collected a decent kit ready for our underground expedition. All that remains is to find several rare tools and to pack all the equipment into two tactical backpacks. Find the items that we still need and get them packed.
What a heavy load! It’s almost impossible to pick up these packs, but we’re well prepared. A dangerous adventure awaits us below. When we come back it will bring us fame and the gratitude of the citizens. Take these rare artifacts that I found in the dungeons for your help in organising the expedition.
-
Staying Still in the Water
Huntress
There’s another thing we must take. As the size of the lake is unknown and we don’t know anything about its currents, we may need an anchor. Will you look for one?
Oh my! Where did you find such a light Folding Anchor? I hope it won’t fail us in a difficult situation.
-
Safety Measures
Huntress
Now, we need to find some protective Life Vests. They should be reliable, float well and have lots of places to attach tools. We could end up in the water at any moment.
Let’s have a look at these vests. Reliable, durable, lots of mountings... These are great!
-
Head Protection
Huntress
No speleologist will go underground without Safety Helmets and flashlights. Many dangers and ferocious beasts await us below. Find the helmets. Make sure their batteries are fully charged.
Did you find these multi-coloured helmets on purpose? Is this bright one especially for me? At least it’s not pink.
-
A Rower’s Tool
Huntress
We will need at least two oars if we’re to cross the underground waters. Find the right oars for our expedition.
What light and practical oars. This set will be suitable to row singly or in pairs.
-
Inflatable Vessel
Huntress
We will need some special equipment to explore the underground lake. I’m going to rely on your help for this. First, we need an Inflatable Boat. It’s not too heavy to carry and it doesn’t take up much space. Find the boat in the City.
Oh my! I think I’ll take this boat for myself afterwards, if we don’t puncture it and if some monster doesn’t rip it up. However, there’s a pump and repair kit that comes with it, so we’ll be able to use it even if it has holes.
-
The Best Present
Juliette
It looks like everything’s ready for the gift. But where can I put it and how should it be wrapped? What are your thoughts? Should I put it in a case bag and tie it with a ribbon? I don’t know. A case bag is a good idea, but I’m not sure about the ribbon. Have a look for the bag while I think about how to present it.
I'm not going to show you how I decided to pack it. The Shaving Kit that you collected is a true masterpiece. The leather case is even handmade in the Florentine style. I'm sure the Detective will fall head over heels for a gift like this. Please take this rare artifact as a token of my gratitude.
-
Chrome-Plated Stand
Juliette
The last item in the Shaving Kit is the Brush Stand. Please find it for me.
The stand is made of expensive gold and silver. What a beautiful item.
-
Shaving Brush
Juliette
Another couple of items are needed to make the present into a full set. Have you guessed already? A Shaving Brush, of course. A very, very soft one.
Amazing! A Shaving Brush that even comes with its own handmade leather case! There are some instructions here... Let’s have a read. “This shaving brush has been made by hand from the highest quality badger hair. After shaving, the brush must be washed in water, shaken out and put to dry, hair downwards, onto the stand.”
-
Straightening Tool
Juliette
I read somewhere that the razor must be sharpened. Special strops are needed to do this.
That’s the right belt! It’s made out of specially cured ox leather. I’m forever in your debt.
-
Razor Case
Juliette
This sort of razor really must have an exquisite case. One that is nice to just hold in your hands?
Yes, this case was made by a real master. It’s a work of art.
-
Sharp Gift
Juliette
Bonjour. I have a little free time today and I came to ask you something. Do you think it will be okay if I give some men’s accessories to the Detective? Maybe some shaving accessories. The Detective has been so nice to me and even gave me flowers recently. They were really beautiful. The Mistress was green with envy when she saw them. Please tell me, will you help? Imagine me giving the Detective an exquisite shaving kit. Could you please help me find the best razor in the City?
What a well crafted razor! Did you know that these razors are handmade in my beloved France? It’s so sharp that you could cut a piece of dust in two!
-
Restored Phone Book
Martha
All that’s left is to restore the Phone Book. Don’t forget to add this missing page and insert the Bookmark. As always, we’ll need the magic of the City. We need several powerful artifacts.
I understand your desire to use the Mystic Telephone and Phone Book to make a call right now. However, it’s not yet known what changes will happen in the astral spheres after such a call. I’ll study this issue and I promise to tell you what I find. Thank you very much. A reward is already waiting for you and I’m faced with beginning to study the Mystic Telephone.
-
Sentient Phone Book
Martha
The Phone Book is supposed to help you find the right number. An owl-shaped amulet was responsible for this useful function. It would be great if you could find it. Otherwise all our efforts will be in vain.
The owl amulet will help with who we need to talk to in the real world.
-
Special Bookmark
Martha
It looks like a conjurer needed the Phone Book. But what for? Let’s have a look at what else has been damaged. There’s no Bookmark. It’s been torn out. We really need your quick thinking here.
You’ve found the Bookmark for the Phone Book! It isn’t even damaged. It looks like luck is on your side.
-
Broken Lock
Martha
Someone broke off the lock on the Binding as they couldn’t open it. O tempora, o mores! Even a Phone Book bothers some people. It seems like even a small thing like a locking clasp needs to be found.
What was the point of breaking the lock on the folio? Didn’t they believe the writing that said, “Phone Book”? Or did they believe it and needed to look for something?
-
Leather Binding
Martha
You can see that this is the Binding for an important folio. The Mystic Phone Book is no ordinary book.
-
List of Subscribers
Martha
I’m attempting to communicate with the real world by using the Mystic Telephone. I only need your silence and your searching abilities. Simply assembling the phone is not enough if you don’t actually know who to call. We’ll also need a Phone Book. Find at least one page to start with.
So… Where did you find this page? Even though it's from the Phone Book, it's practically illegible.
-
The Complete Telephone
Martha
We’ve found all of the parts in the blueprint. There are a few notes from Bell at the bottom of it, which are about artifacts that have special energy. It’s these artifacts that give mystical abilities to an ordinary telephone. Help me find the artifacts required and to assemble the Mystic Telephone. I’ll give you a very useful item in return.
Unbelievable, but we've managed to reassemble the legendary Mystic Telephone. I am wracked with doubt whether to switch it on or not. What could the consequences be for establishing contact with the outside world? I will do some more magic with the telephone. Here is a valuable artifact for your services.
-
Buttons or Disc
Martha
Only the most important thing remains - the Rotary Dial of the Mystic Telephone. Find the missing part.
I can feel hidden magic in this Rotary Dial. It's like it contains the magic of the City.
-
Telephone Cord
Martha
According to the blueprints, we'll need a Telephone Cord to connect the handset to the phone. Will you find it?
This is definitely a Telephone Cord and it's in excellent condition. We've almost found all of the parts to the Mystic Telephone.
-
Telephone Hook
Martha
Every telephone has a Telephone Hook. Our Mystic Telephone is no exception. Find the Hook, it must be at one of the locations.
Is this a Telephone Hook? Are you sure? I would’ve walked past it without a second glance.
-
Hear the Caller
Martha
It’s obvious that any telephone needs a handset if you want to speak to someone and hear their replies. Look for the Handset of the Mystic Telephone.
This looks like a standard handset. I hope it will fit the Mystic Telephone and make it work.
-
Antique Speaker
Martha
We need to find the five main parts of the Mystic Telephone. The blueprints show that the first part is a special Microphone. I’m sure finding it won’t be easy - there aren’t many things like that in the City.
It seems you found the right Speaker even though I’m not good with technology.
-
Return What Was Stolen
Detective
The items from the Tea Set got slightly damaged during the robbery. The scratches are almost unnoticeable but even they are enough for the Mistress to fly into a rage and punish Juliette. This must not happen... Find several artifacts that will return the Tea Set to perfection.
All of the pieces of the Tea Set are in place and it looks perfect. I analyzed the facts and think that it was not a robbery but an imitation. See - the Teacup, Kettle, Jampot and Sugar Bowl were lying almost along a line, as if the thief ran and threw out what he stole. This can’t be! Time to talk to Juliette!
-
The Last Loss
Detective
The only thing that can’t be found is the Creamer. Let’s have a look around. I have a very interesting version of how this all happened.
Exactly as I thought. The Creamer is just laying under the table. It looks like it wasn’t even stolen, just hidden a little.
-
Oddities in the Investigation
Detective
This is really unusual. Circling around the crime scene, I found everything quickly. I have a feeling that the Sugar Bowl will be found by the Teacup.
So, my nose really is like a bloodhound. Just look! The Sugar Bowl is almost in the same place as the Teacup. Well, just a bit further on. But why throw all this away?
-
Searching for Trifles
Detective
A lot of attention is needed when looking for the silver Jampot. It’s really small and inconspicuous.
Just look at that! The Jampot was lying near to the other items that were found. What a strange thief that visited the Manor today. I’m afraid he might have had other motives than silver, and this was just a distraction.
-
The Lost Tea Kettle
Detective
What do we have next? A Tea Kettle with a stand? No problem. We’ll find it right away.
And here’s the silver Kettle. It was lying a little further away than the cup. Doesn’t look like it’s been polished, either...
-
Start of the Search
Detective
Juliette says that the Tea Set is made of pure silver. It’s unlikely that the monsters in the City would go for that, especially in the Mistress’s Manor. Looks like it’s a real person. Time to get to work. We’ll start with the Teacup and Saucer.
It didn’t take much time to find this silver Teacup and Saucer. It wasn’t far away either.
-
Sweet Mixed Chocolates
Martha
Just one small thing remains - all of the sweets that have been found need to be put into the gift box, and a few rituals need to be performed to make it look the way it was. Witches are very sensitive and they won’t touch sweets that were in the hands of anyone apart from the masterful Ghirardelli.
This unpleasant theft of the sweets has ended very well. We will do some magic over the sweets. What if the thief wanted to poison us? We’ll also try and find the thief. Take this artifact as our token of gratitude for your help.
-
Nuts ’n’ Chocolate
Martha
The hazelnut chocolate that was also in the box was covered with tiny nuts. I don’t know which small nuts, but they were tasty. Will you find it?
I think you found just the right thing. There are nuts all over this chocolate candy and hazelnuts inside. Anyway, I think it’s hazelnuts. Let’s refrain from tasting it.
-
Grilled Nut Candy
Martha
If you find the Grilled Nut Candy, I promise you a really lovely surprise as a reward.
This isn’t just a simple candy. It’s a culinary masterpiece. This Grilled Nut Candy also contains sweetmeats and century-old cognac.
-
White Chocolate
Martha
Since you’re so lucky, maybe you can find the white chocolate candy from the famous chocolatier?
White chocolate, filled with almonds in caramel. So tasty! I think the congress will continue, and the bad memories will be erased from my mind.
-
Milk Chocolate
Martha
There were other sweets in the box made of milk chocolate. The filling is yogurt and strawberry. I hope the thieves have not eaten them yet - hurry up.
I’m really happy that the milk chocolate candy wasn’t eaten.
-
Black Chocolate
Martha
There were all sorts of sweets in the missing box. Here’s one made of pure black chocolate with a rum cherry inside. An unforgettable taste.
Oh, a sweet made of bitter black chocolate! Thanks for helping so quickly.
-
Gambling Lessons
Cardsharp
Now, everything is ready to quickly teach you the intricacies of the game. We need several artifacts to give the gaming set several unusual attributes. Hurry and collect the gaming set.
What an excellent gaming kit! Everything is ready for your lessons. First we’ll exchange money for chips. If there’s no money, something else will do. But it must be valuable. When the game ends you will exchange the chips for money anyway. That’s if you win, of course. Do you agree?
-
The Croupier’s Sentence
Cardsharp
There’s another important tool when playing roulette. It’s like a court sentence, or a nail in your coffin. Can’t you guess? Yes, it’s the marker. It’s also needed for your lessons.
A small and simple looking marker. I have one image still floating before my eyes. Bang - the marker is on the table. Bang - I’m poor again. So sad.
-
Devil’s Wheel
Cardsharp
The next game, the “Devil’s Wheel,” is also known as roulette and is in the realm of Lady Luck. The result of this game has nothing to do with me! It’s a game where chance decides everything, depending on the pocket where the ball falls. The ball is really important - find it.
Yes, it’s well polished and shiny. When the ball runs around the wheel you can’t take your eyes off it and your heart skips a beat.
-
Training Cards
Cardsharp
Now we can move on to more complicated games. I believe you’re familiar with Playing Cards. Is there anyone that hasn’t played with them? The origins of this game are from China, where fortune telling turned into an exciting game. Find a pack of cards to continue your lessons.
This pack of cards will be fine for learning. You’ll get used to them and can even then take them with you.
-
Pair of Dice
Cardsharp
Let’s start teaching you about playing dice - it’s the easiest. They say that even the ancient Egyptians liked this game. We need to find at least two Dice. It’s not really interesting to play with one.
Excellent! These Dice look like collector’s items. Beautiful. Looks like they’re also handmade.
-
Casino Token
Cardsharp
Oh, Chips! They’re in all sorts of colors, but there aren’t many black ones. My favorite colors are black and orange. Although you can still make bets with these too.
-
Wolf Training
Huntress
So, I’m beginning to like the idea of training the werewolf cub more and more. Let’s put everything we gathered into a circle. Let’s use a few spells and put this harness on the cub.
Lovely Rudolf! This name really suits him. I hope he won’t turn into a huge and ferocious werewolf. I only interact with werewolves in one way - with my dagger or my taser. I hope it won’t come to that. Take this little thing for your efforts.
-
Tasty Toy
Huntress
Every student needs free time. This is why I want to ask you to find a Bone for my cub. Let him chew on it when he’s free.
A Bone! It even smells of meat. How will I manage to take it away from the cub? I’ll have my work cut out for me.
-
Teaching through Play
Huntress
I know for a fact that they start training puppies by playing. Could you bring me a Ball? Not too big or too small, just the right size so that it doesn’t fully fit into the puppy’s mouth.
How do you manage to find things so quickly? One, two and here’s the Ball. Perhaps you were a Bloodhound in a past life.
-
Named Medallion
Huntress
I want to officially start training the Wolf Cub. So I’ll have to register my pet. Will you bring me a Medallion with his name and registration number?
Everything is coming together so well. Let’s see - is the name on the Medallion correct? Rudolf. A beautiful name, isn’t it?
-
Freedom on a Leash
Huntress
I also need a Leash to walk my pet. One that’s long and strong. Don’t be sarcastic - a steel cable is more appropriate for an adult werewolf. I need one made out of rawhide.
Danke schon! What an excellent Leash. I hope the price was reasonable.

Power Containment
Huntress
I decided to learn how to train pets! Oh, stop worrying so much, I’m going to train a Wolf Cub, not a huge werewolf. Maybe you can help me find a couple of items I need and put the right enchantments on them? The first thing I need is a Collar.
Excellent! This Collar looks durable enough even without enchantments.

Send collection requests to 3 friends
Juliette
Mon Ami, if luck isn’t on your side in finding required collection items, you can always ask for it from your friends. They will see your request and share the rare item with you if they have it. Because a friend in need is a friend indeed.
Great, the request has been sent to your friends. Here’s a little tip: your friends might not have the item you need, so they can’t always help. But don’t worry! Add more friends - other discoverers might have the item you need. The more friends you have, the faster help will arrive.

Seeing into Infinity
Martha
Solving the puzzle with the Möbius rings took a lot of effort, but it wasn’t in vain. I got the chance to look into infinity and now I know why the Collector created this puzzle. He hid an artifact, the "Golden Horoscope", within infinity. I’ve heard a lot about it, but I thought it was a myth. Now that I’ve seen it with my own eyes, I must find a way to get my hands on it. I’m going to need a lot of energy and some powerful artifacts.
I can’t believe I’m holding the "Golden Horoscope"! In the right hands, this ancient artifact can be used to foretell the future. You must understand how important this is for me as a medium with two centuries of successful practice. You’ve done me a great service - take this rare item as a gift.

Ring of Infinity
Martha
You’re doing a great job at winning all the Collector’s puzzles on the game machine. Inside the machine is the "Möbius Ring" puzzle, and it’s especially interesting to me. Please find it.
Have you heard of the Möbius strip? It’s a geometric paradox - as the strip only has one side. If you start at one point, you’ll return to it without crossing any edges. Based on this paradox, the Collector created a puzzle that allows you to look into infinity - that’s why it was so important to me.

Metal Puzzle
Martha
The "Metal Puzzle", another of the Collector’s inventions, is hidden inside the game machine. Find it.
At first sight, the puzzle looks very difficult... But the person who manages to solve it will always be able to free himself from any handcuffs or chains. There are rumours that when creating this puzzle, the Collector consulted with Houdini himself.

Golden 15-Puzzle
Martha
If I didn’t know the Collector, seeing this puzzle would make me think that he’s a very empty-headed person. But the inventor has never made anything ordinary. Get your hands on the "15-Puzzle", our next challenge from the Collector.
This is so beautiful, and won’t be too hard to solve. I can see how easy it is to make the letters into the phrase "I love you". The magic of this puzzle is capable of casting a love spell on a beautiful stranger.

Chinese Rings
Martha
Since we’ve decided to get into these puzzles, let’s find the next one - it’s the "Ring Puzzle". This puzzle is also called "Chinese Rings". Let’s see what properties the Collector bestowed on it.
This is a complex and entertaining puzzle whose solution causes a change inside the Collector’s room, opening drawers and recesses. It’s the key to controlling the hidden mechanisms. But I still have to figure out how to use it.

The Collector’s Puzzles
Martha
I looked through lots of tomes in City Hall. The game machine is an invention of the Collector, the researcher of the City’s secrets. The notes say that along with the machine, the Collector created puzzles that bestow special abilities on anyone who manages to solve them. I really want to get my hands on the Collector’s puzzles. Judging by the notes, you can get them from the game machine. Help me get the first puzzle - the "Collector’s Cube".
What a wonderful puzzle! It’s an ordinary Rubik’s Cube, but there are letters and symbols on each square. If you run into a dead end, use a hint. After assembling the cube, you’ll be able to read the phrase. The puzzle will be very useful for an explorer of caves and tunnels.

ICE BARRIER
Valerie
A real Christmas miracle happened: the blizzard subsided as suddenly as it started. Well, now nothing is preventing us from finding my gift. Take a look here, and I’ll search inside the shop.
The shop’s door has been frozen shut. How will the citizens get their gifts now? And what is that over there on the left? Ice statues of a lady and her suitor. The figures are so realistic, as if they’re real people frozen in ice. Oh, I have a bad feeling about this...
