Day 4 is up:

 

Mod Timbo had invited 6 of the most prominent figures in all of RuneScape to a garden party, giving them time to relax in the sun with Wizard Mind Bombs and a buffet of freshly caught seafood from the coast of Catherby. Unbeknown to each of Timbo's guests, it was a ruse in order to blackmail each of them into giving up their rare items without having to fight them first! Timbo had acquired secrets about each, they were:

 

Nomad - What people think is Nomad is actually a scheming Dwarf called Honeydew inside a mechanical suit

Nex - While she was young, she practiced the ways of Saradomin before converting to Zaros

Lucien - Only stole the Stone of Jas to impress a lady and it all suddenly got out of hand but needed to continue impressing her

Wise Old Man - Uses magic to convince everyone that he's old when he's actually only 24 years old

Lord Drakan - Has hidden himself from public view due to him enjoying Twilight and being unable to face another since

Bank Clark - Using his inner knowledge of the Bank of RuneScape system, he has been siphoning off cabbages to fuel his addiction to the delicious vegetable

 

Aghast with this news, each of Timbo's guests were filled with anger and embarassment. Not wanting to cause a fuss at such a prestigious party, they each decided to not to give Timbo a present that they were planning on presenting at the end of the evening. Using their combat abilities would have been too easy but the denial of presents was something that they thought would definitely hit the right spot. The withheld presents were:

 

Nomad - An Iron pickaxe, the exact pickaxe that dug all of the underneath of Soul Wars

Nex - An Uncut sapphire, one of her favourite gemstones

Lucien - 10 Body runes, Lucien always thought a Disruption Shield would be useful in dire needs but wanted to give them out to a good friend

Wise Old Man - A Cowhide, a reminder of the 'good old days' of Gielinor

Lord Drakan - A Meat pizza, not quite the diet of Vampyre lords but delicious nevertheless

Bank Clark - A Cabbage, as part of his Cabbaholic Anonymous program he needs to handle them without eating one

 

The party carried on, guests and Timbo alike drank Gnomish cocktails and continued to eat specialty Rabbit sandwiches from Burthorpe. That was until three blood-curdling screeches could be heard from inside of the mansion. "Murder!" the waiter cried, "Murder in Timbo Mansion!". It was true, three people had been killed and only the guests could be to blame! Timbo gathered everyone, staff and guests included, at the Garden Party area for an emergency meeting. "Friends and guests, we have a murderer loose amongst the house!" Gasps came from all present, an elderly maid fainted in the background. "I am afraid to admit that we do not know who or where these murders were committed. We're bringing in a crack team of investigators who will be able to solve this. Bring in... THE PLAYERS."

 

 

 

Kitchen

A simple kitchen fit for a mansion, pots and pans line the room as you enter in an orderly fashion aside from a couple that were presumably used for dinner (Three pans look out of place as if disturbed by someone rushing through the kitchen with a large object.). The main table island in the middle of the table lies strewn with cutlery, knives and chopping boards (Only the finest silverware at Timbo Mansion.) as if no-one had tidied since the last meal. (Cleaning is an XP waste.)

 

 

Ballroom

A jukebox sits in the corner of the Ballroom,(The jukebox appears to be stuck on the record Decode by Paramore) stuck on a disc trying to change. The room is massive and the dancing floor shines as it covers (Its not a normal shine that covers the dancefloor, it appears to be some sort of food grease.) the vast majority of the surface of the floor. There is nothing of note in the room or the floor save for the usual scuff marks from dancing. (Upon closer inspection, the scuff marks show a struggle that happened as if someone was convulsing.)

 

 

Conservatory

A quiet room of solitude, Timbo used this room as his place to play RuneScape. A PC sits in the corner (Its a pretty normal PC except it has really cool looking blue lights.) with a comfy leather office chair,(Mmmm leather.) the desk has a few assorted items such as empty soda cans. The rest of the room is sparse except for a table and a set of chairs. (Would be a great place to play a game of Cluedo!)

 

 

Library

A vast library sits at the heart of the mansion, three floors of bookcases strech as far as the eye can see. There are three wings of book types, a running record of all of the items left on the floor in RuneScape,(4gp, 16gp, Bones, Bones, Champions scroll imp, 36gp, Big bones) every thread that has ever fallen to page 51 (You flick through some thread titles: ***** *** ****** *****, NEW SKILL: SAILING!, mod timbo y r u so cool and need ccf help, clue 4) and the name of every player ever called a 'noob'.(You catch a loose page as it falls out: Zezima, Zezima, Zezima, Zezima, Zezima, Zezima, Zezima, Zezima, Zezima, Zezima, Zezima)

 

 

Study

As you enter the Study, you notice that it's an extremely dark and slightly dusty (A strange magic fills the room, an ancient, familiar magic that has been used millions of times that you can not quite pinpoint) room that hasn't seen much use. A grand mahogany writing desk (You find a splatter of blood. Yuck!) sits in the middle of the room, on the desk you notice what appears to be unfinished writing of some sort. (Day 68 - I cook and clean all day for that Bimbo but.. *the ink tails off into a small pool as if a heavy object dropped on the pen and its user*)

 

 

Hall

The grand hall of Timbo Mansion stands before with giant marble pillars and huge Gothic arches.(Upon closer inspection you notice that the top of one of the pillars an ancient stone has been forced there as if by magic) Dressers litter the edges of the hall (Whilst walking down the hall you notice that some of the dressers are damaged with scorch marks) with doors to various rooms, occasional hatstand and painting on the wall. (Each painting depicts a famous moment in RuneScape history, ungraciously the grandest painting in the hall is Timbo on his first day)

 

Lounge

A huge room opens up ahead of you, theee 4 person sofas sit in the middle of the room with a low-standing table. (If only there was a caffeine-rich drink invented that would heighten sense and increase awareness, this would be the perfect place to put it on) An elaborate crystal chandelier sits off the ceiling, slightly slanted (Looks as if someone weakened the chandelier and then replaced it at a slightly crooked angle) and the grand marble fireplace is roaring, heating the room.(This does not look like any normal fire! It looks like Dragonkin flames, now why would they be here?)

 

Dining Room

It would be more appropriate to call this a Dining Hall, a resplendent dining table runs through the room (Looks as if someone has left their Blue Partyhat here, seems a little careless of them!) like a wooden river able to sit up to 40 guests. It seems as if the laying of the table was disrupted, a pile of clean plates and napkins sits at the end (In amongst the plates you find a precious blue gemstone, I wonder why that was being laid out?). The head chair looks overly majestic,(Someone has been carving at the wooden chair with a heavy iron instrument, its magnificent work though) it seems as if Timbo is a bit pompous.

[spoiler=Warning]Are we going to include the dialog boxes that pop up when you click underlined text?

Colonel Mustard with the Candlestick in The Dining Room - haven't had a game of Cluedo for years !!

Added the tooltips in brackets

Lol at the Yogscast reference.

 

So are we just supposed to find the killer and bring his item to the trader?

I'd assume so, no instructions as per usual, but that seems too easy, you could just take all 6 and they'd react and take the one they wanted.

On the CCF topic page I see a list of buttons labled;

"Investigate Kitchen"

"ballroom"

"Conserv"

etc

 

Does anyone know what I need to update in order to click/see whatever it is?

Day 5 Clue

[hide]Aggie in Draynor Lol nope Hetty in Rimmington, my bad[/hide][/hide]

Got it.

On the CCF topic page I see a list of buttons labled;

"Investigate Kitchen"

"ballroom"

"Conserv"

etc

 

Does anyone know what I need to update in order to click/see whatever it is?

Sy Accursed listed each of them in the clue he posted on the previous page.

 

I'm a bit busy at work atm, but I'll be updating the first post as soon as I can.

Answer

[hide]

10 Body Runes

Cabbage

Cooked Meat Pizza

 

Why:

Meat Pizza

Ballroom

Food grease = greasy food, eg meat, cheese etc.

Someone convulsing = Convulsing due to blood loss/poison

 

Kitchen - Run through with a large object

Lord Drakan had greasy food (meat pizza), Vampyre bit would cause convulsions. Escape via Kitchen carrying body (large object)

Therefore Meat Pizza.

 

10 Body Runes

Lounge

Dragonkin fire

 

Hall

Scorch Marks + Ancient Stone

 

Study

Ancient Familiar Magic

Heavy Object Struck

 

Combine to suggest Dragonkin invovled and therefore Stone of Jas (the ancient stone and why its familar and what the heavy object is)

So Lucien therefore 10 Body Runes.

 

Cabbage

Dining Room

Blue gem = Sapphire = Nex

Blue Phat = Wise Old Man

Heavy Iron Instrument = Iron Pickaxe = Nomad

Process of elimination, those three all in 1 room so Banker therefore Cabbage

Tbh this last bit can be used to figure out all 3 items as by same logic WOM, Nex and Nomad are together therefore must be the other 3.

Yeah I totally just took all 6 and then reverse engineered it to work out the logic behind the answers.

On the CCF topic page I see a list of buttons labled;

"Investigate Kitchen"

"ballroom"

"Conserv"

etc

ah yes, thank you very much.

The only part of the clue that even mattered was the Dining room description.

 

 

The hidden links in the description of the dining room vindicated Nomad (iron pickaxe on the chair), Nex (blue gem in the napkins), and Wise Old Man (Blue phat on the table). That leaves the other three as the murderers, and their items.

 

First post has been updated. :)

Day 5:

 

Clue 1:

We hear the prenom of Robert from 802 for this offspring. (3)

A shortened friendslist which is initially under royal oath ambiguously is milled. (5)

This drink is fit for a thousand Empress of England who is missing mad Mat, but has the K. (4)

 

Clue 2:

Aethelred roughly lost his quick elemental shield in this stitch up. (6)

Point north east as these eight kings take fifty east. (6)

Particularly tough Aethelred without Edward about for this armour. (4,7)

 

Clue 3:

Fifty opulent Georges initially a bit wooden (3)

Like copper the 500th Queen fights with fists for this firemaker (9)

This great can't read about the start of our own royal ground (6)

What does the numbers mean >.<!

Well I'm assuming they are crossword style clues so the number is how many letters in the answer.

A crossword puzzle without the grid, or just guessing words now?

So 9 items?

I'd assume 3 items, 1 for each clue and no grid =/ so guessing words.

Day 5:

 

Clue 1:

We hear the prenom of Robert from 802 for this offspring. (3) EGG

A shortened friendslist which is initially under royal oath ambiguously is milled. (5) FLOUR

This drink is fit for a thousand Empress of England who is missing mad Mat, but has the K. (4) MILK

= Cake?

 

 

[hide]

I think this has to do with past monarchs, i.e 1000 Empress of England = Matilda, hence without the "mad mat". Other than that I'm stumped :P Laikrob's suggestion looks good[/hide]

 

Clue 2:

[hide]

I think the first word is NEEDLE, as the clue dictates "stitch up" and 6 letters. I think the entire item though is some sort of ranged armour that's crafted?

EDIT: Nope, THREAD Would come for Aethelred, better than NEEDLE

 

The 8 kings is a reference to Henry I believe, as there were 8 King Henrys.[/hide]
