March 6th [Video]

 [Mostly inside a quadrant of the tremendous Castle Heterodyne.  An only-slightly smoldering bookshelf appears, not far away but at a rather odd angle until a set of well-toned fingers fill the view and bring the lens up to eye-level.]

Quite likely the most insidious trap left in this old haunt yet!  Ha, such a foolish designer!  Its manifest failure to make yet another attempt on my life after two whole seconds clearly gives its purely utilitarian or likely-cancerous nature away to one as experienced as Othar, Gentleman Adventurer!

[Othar turns the device over to check the back and reveals - in a blur - where the room's ornate ceiling transitions directly into a jagged edge and an uninterrupted view of the sky.  Once turned over completely, the device shows where a only few broken tiles separate the rest of the floor from grass.  An explosion sounds from within the castle.]

If my extensive first-hand knowledge of chemical accelerants serves me well, I should make haste!  Tally-ho!
