OK, this is really just noodling a little about possible scenarios so; You are Sir Gad Zooks and the Prince of Wales trusty " Inspector of Skullduggery". The Prince is concerned because his good friend Lady Margaret of Devonshire has confided in him that she is very worried about the disappearance of her two third consins, Eddy the fifth and his brother Richie, the Prince of York. They were staying at the Tower of London with their Uncle Dick, Duke of Gloster. The boys usually pop over to Maggy's place once or twice a week, but as of late they have made no visits. She sent a courier over to check on the boys, but Dick said they where off to visit their cousin Phillip in Madrid, Spain. Maggy was a little put off by that response due to the fact that the boys had always detested their cousin Phillip. So your job as Sir Gad Zooks Inspector of Skullduggery is to find the boys or discover whatever became of the two brothers. (next page) You ask the Pantry Maid "when was the last time you saw the boys?" "What where they wearing at the time and was there any reason to beleive they where in any danger." (picture or cartoon of the two boys wearing hats with feathers per the Maid's memory) then Q&As (her responses) (bullet check off list-one correct answer only).
(A) Saw them last Thursday
(B) Wearing blue velvet hats with feathers
(C) Dick's a nasty guy sometimes
note: the player must stick to just what is seen in each cartoon or picture. No speculation outside of the visual facts.
(next page)The Butler is next and so forth..., maybe ten Q&A. Each correct answer adds up to a separate discovery page (10 in all).(i.e. 1 right- Gad Zooks got Lost; 2 right- Gad Zooks is out of a job; 3 right- Gad is demoted to bean counter; 4 right- Gad missed by a mile; 5 right- Gad will never be in the Sherlock Holmes Club; 6 right- Gad is embarrased to tell the Prince; 7 right- Gad cracks the case, but Dick gets away; 8 right- cracks the case, but his Barrister (Lawyer) gets Dick off for lack of evidence; 9 right- Gad cracks the case and gets Dick convicted and sent up the River Thymes; 10 right- Gad cracks the case sends Dick up the River Thymes and is promote to the office of General Inspector of Skullduggery in all of Great Britain. At conclusion all players get a neat plaque (image) for their participation and for display at their sites; something like a Heraldry of Arms shield with crossed magnifying glasses, inscibed "I Cracked the Case at the Medieval Mysteries Festival 2006". So what do you think? I know, I know, I'm just full of it. If this is what we like we would need to ask for graphics (altered picts or cartoons) from some of our more talented members, a more complete story line of course, maybe some background music bits for each page, and an intro setup for attracting players at different sites. I am full of ideas sometime, but don't know all the ends and outs here at AW. The admin guys and gals will have to stear this thing and volunteers would have to be found. I'm more than happy to help in any way I can. Thanks-Titus
