Dilandau3000 plays The Colonel's Bequest - Part 14 of 20


Looks like we have another death in the mansion...


All maps by Will Mallia.




Act IV


If you keep talking to Gloria at this point, she'll get annoyed and eventually ignores you. You can ask her about stuff.

Ask Gloria about the estate. She'll tell you this is a dreary place and that she doesn't know how Uncle Henri can stand living here.

Ask Gloria about Henri. She thinks all of his money is going to waste as he never spends a dime of it.

Ask Gloria about Lillian. She thinks she's resented her beauty and talent. She's never truly felt comfortable around her.

Ask Gloria about Ethel. She considers it criminal she's included in the will.

Ask Gloria about Ethel and Lillian. She doesn't know why Henri puts up with them both.

Ask Gloria about Rudy. She considers him a pillar of strength.

Ask Gloria about Clarence. She doesn't care to discuss him.

Ask Gloria about Rudy and Clarence. They're not the best of friends.

Ask Gloria about Wilbur. She considers him a silly old man.

Ask Gloria about Wilbur and Clarence. She knows they've gotten in trouble and would love to see how they get out it.

Ask Gloria about Gertie. She says her mother has nothing to do with you.

Ask Gloria about Clarence and Gertie. She says her mother can handle it.

Ask Gloria about Jeeves. She thinks she's cute, but a bit strange.

Ask Gloria about Fifi. She says she'll get hers soon enough.

Ask Gloria about Colonel and Fifi. She thinks Fifi is butting in where she doesn't belong.

Ask Gloria about Rudy and Fifi. She'll insist there is nothing going on between them.

Ask Gloria about Celie. She doesn't know much, but she's been in the estate for as long as she can remember. She wouldn't be surprised if she was born here.

Ask Gloria about Celie and Lillian. She's glad Lillian has Celie to turn to. She calms her down.

If you ask Gloria about Sarah, she'll ask if Sarah is an actress.

Ask Gloria about Beauregard. She's never given the old pooch a second thought.

Ask Gloria about Blaze. She'll tell you she's never stepped foot in the stable here.

If you tell Gloria about Wilbur, she's not going to care.

Leave the room and pull the clock near the entrance. Look through the south photo. You'll notice nobody is in there. If you go through the panel, you'll find out that is indeed the case. The record that was on the Victrola is broken, and a few feathers that look like they come from Gloria's boa are on the floor next to the broken record.

Gloria didn't leave. Somebody forced her out of here.

If you look on the floor, you will also notice some mud spots. It's a partial footprint. Using the monocle on it will do nothing extra.

Pick up the record pieces and you'll notice that there are some mud spots under it as well. Look at the record with the monocle. You'll find two different fingerprints on it.

Jeeves will clean up the evidence, so hopefully you've done all this rather quickly.

Head out the door. Outside is your best bet for finding bodies so far, if what's happened so far. Head to the gazebo. You'll find out Gloria is dead and strangled with her own feather boa. (She may also be in the well. If she's not at the gazebo, head to the well and pull the bucket up by turning the crank.)

Examine Gloria's body. This confirms the strangulation death, and if you look at the boa, you'll notice it's tightly knotted around her neck.

Head back inside into the parlor. Fifi will be leaning up. Give a cracker to Polly. Your next bit of random, context-less conversation is "AWWKK! I'll teach her! AWWKK! She can't break up with me!" Clarence, perhaps?

Head upstairs and push the right armoire. You'll see an old cigar butt on the floor. Take it. Apparently someone has been using the secret passages other than you. Looking at it with the monocle uncovers nothing of interest.

Also, it is now possible that going into the upstairs closet will randomly kill you if you enter it at random times. Someone will hide inside. 

Head to the Colonel's room and show him the cigar butt. Talking to him or even telling him about any deaths will just make him angry.

Go to the statue outside the estate. It will go to 10:30. Rudy and Clarence will argue with each other and then fight. Rudy will punch out Clarence, then both of them will walk away, with Clarence saying Rudy hasn't heard the last of it. (You're supposed to find one of them walking around outside at 10 PM, which advances time to 10:15, then follow them to the statue, which advances the time to 10:30.)

If you head to the library at 10:30, you'll see Jeeves clean it up.

Head to the study. It'll be 10:45 at this point. Lillian will be looking at Henri's weapons collection until she sees you and is startled. She sits in a chair. If you repeatedly talk to Lillian, she'll ask you if you've been keeping yourself busy and hopes that you've been getting along with the family. She'll also note you've been exploring, but warns you there are places you shouldn't go as this can be a dangerous place. (Really?) She may head to the room and relax for the night. She'll eventually relax here until going back upstairs.

Ask Lillian about the estate. She loves to hide in the outbuildings.

Ask Lillian about Henri. She thinks Henri's been turned against her by someone.

Ask Lillian about Ethel. She doesn't want to talk about her.
