1/24

Nancy is on her way to Blackmoor Manor to check up on Linda Penvellyn, the daughter

of Nancy's neighbor. Linda, newlywed to Hugh has fallen ill since she came to live in the

Manor.

Nancy is dropped off at Blackmoor Manor. Someone whispers Nancy's name. After

knocking on the door, a growl is heard and burning red eyes is seen. Mrs. Drake greetsNancy and tells that your room is the one with the moon on the door. Linda is not quite

ready to see Nancy. Mrs. Drake says to see her in the conservatory after settling down in

your room.

Petrov. Click on web and check all your e-mails. Use the cell phone again, click on web,internet browser and do a search. Learn the connection about witchcraft and Blackmoor

Manor.

Nancy's suitcase is at right of the fireplace and left of the window seat. Look close at the

moon column at the base of the window seat. Look close at the crest above the fireplace.Pan left and look at the gold book on the left side of the mantle - Grenny and the WaterFairy by John Penvellyn 1937. Read the book about a frog named Grenny and the red key

the princess gave to the water fairy. Look at the note tucked in one of the pages - it

showed the 4 elements symbol, water, earth, fire and air.

Look at the square box on the chair - we need more info on this. Check the eternal playballs on top of the bookcase. A mural of Helios (Apollo), riding the fiery chariot pulled

by 4 horses covers the wall left of the door. The phone (cook and Hugh) and the alarm

clock are on the table left of the bed. The lamp switch is on the wall beside the lamp.There's a tripod by the window.

There's a constellation chart behind the green stellar picture between the windows. Use

the web search again and read 'Why the stars seem to move'. Learn about the solstices:

Solstitium and Bruma; and about the equinoxes: Aequinoctium Vernum and Autumnalis.Press the circle at bottom left to see the star map. Press the blue circles and the text to see

the different star maps.

Time meet to Mrs. Drake in the conservatory. Exit the room and look left to see moon

signs framing your bedroom. A gorgeous stained glass window is at the end of the hall.Go forward down the hall and listen through the next door and hear a girl and a woman

talking.

There's an alcove on the left with stairs that sing going up. NOTE: Don't go up or solve

the puzzle up there yet or you will not see Mrs. Drake in the observatory or Nigel in the

library today.

Meeting the characters

Jane's Bedroom: Knock on door right of the alcove where the child's voice camefrom. Jane, Linda's stepdaughter says 'to come back later please'. Look close at the red

button on the right of the door. It needs a key.

and look close at the gargoyle at the corner. Turn the corner and hear an angry woman.

Go down the stairs and turn left.

Conservatory: Enter through the metal door on the left wall of the foyer and down the

metal stairs. Look around. Look close at the plaque of outstanding achievement given to

John Penvellyn on the urn pedestal. Look close at the drain and then the water sprayer onthe empty frog fountain.

Turn left, forward, right and see several potting tables. (Note: If you picked up the keyfrom the noisy stairs, you will not see Mrs. Drake and have to wait for later in that day or

the next day by setting the alarm clock.) Talk to Mrs. Drake. Learn about Nigel

Mookerjee, researcher and Ethel Bosinny, Jane's tutor. Learn about Linda, to order foodfrom a local restaurant and water in well. She talks about Loulou and proper food for the

parrot. Look close at the potting table on the left. Look close at Leticia Drake's allergy

medicine and learn the effects on her.

Library: Exit the conservatory and go across the Great Hall to the door across the

room. You might or might not see Nigel depending on who you talked to before this. Ifyou don't see him, set the alarm to talk to him the next day. But if you do, talk to Nigel

commentary about the Penvellyn ancestors. Look close at the desktop computer. Alan

Penvellyn is learned in computers. It needs a password. Exit the library. Check the cell

phone browser and look up the Beast of Blackmoor.

Loulou and East Hall: Go back upstairs, turn right, go down the hall and see a doorwith a flowered plate - Mrs. Drake's room. Go to the corner and hear a ghostly sound.

Take off the cover and see a parrot in a cage. Meet and talk to Loulou. Loulou is a great

source of information! Turn right and see a door with a big crest on it. We need a key toopen that door.

Look around and see draped furniture, pictures on the wall and a table with mirror, cell

phone and lotion. The curtain on the bed is pulled. Click on the curtains and talk to Linda.Doors that should not never be opened.... Jane, Linda's stepdaughter wants to come in to meet

Nancy but was refused. Leave the room.

done. Note: If you do this later or after the library, Jane will be sleeping by then and haveto wait the next day for the opportunity. Jane's is free after her study time that ends at

2PM. Enter the room and turn left to see Jane in bed.

Matching game - She wants to play a game. The first game is a matching game using

Brigitte's cards, the one with the telescope in her portrait. Jane wants you to do betterthan her 40 (junior) or 25 (senior) tries. The aim of the puzzle is to flip open duplicate

cards until all the cards are opened.


3/24

Open 2 cards at a time. Once you see a card that is a duplicate of one you have seen.

Click on both to keep them open. You can write the cards down on a paper to help you.

That's not cheating.

Talk to Jane after winning the first game and find out about the lady in black that left a

note in Linda's room. That is when she started feeling poorly. Talk to her again and find

out that the lady in black resembles Elinor. Play games with her again using games fromthe chest or just skip that dialogue. Talk to Jane again about animal, treasure andpassword.

Skull and Bones game - She will tell you the password of the computer if you beat her in

skull and bones games. You don't need to play this game for the password. Find out for

yourself by looking at the words under Arthur's crest at the Great Hall. Arthur is thesecond from the last (next to Hugh).

Skull and bones game's aim is to accumulate 3 of a kind card. The cards shown are yours.

grandfather. There are several very interesting pages in this book. Take note of the coverpicture with tree, planetary signs and the 4 elements at the bottom. There's one with 6

columns-circles with planetary symbols and a dragon at the center. There's one with 12

drawings in a sort of handle and the right page shows it being placed in a fire.

increases the score. Junior mode has less minimum letters/min (20) than the senior mode

(30).

Afterwards, Nancy types up a boring memoir. Take the note and the Corbin's coat of

arms that Nigel left on the table.

secret passage opens on the right. Need another glowstick. If it's too late and Jane isasleep, set the alarm for 2 PM.

Linda's room: Talk to Linda. Library: Talk Nigel. Talk about being famous,

of arms and star charts. Use the lens to see 5 muses. Select each muse in order and Betty

will wager Penny's keys. The lens also shows a secret panel in the moon column.

Edward devised the Saturn column, the green dragon and the target (slide).

John hid the key to the Mars column using the frogs in the conservatory pond.

Alan used the computer as clue to the Saturn key and gave the clue to the moving rooms.

Read the parchment written by Corbin, grandson of Elinor left of the worktable.

Forge: Pan left and look close at the forge. Take the mold. Look close at the metal in

the pot all set to be worked in the pit.

Corner table: Read the journal of Charles Penvellyn and the reference to a familyinstructing the first born of the Penvellyn family. This verified what Ethel, the tutor stated

- her family, the Bosinny have always taught the Penvellyn heir. Read the folded decree

at the last page - the heir is taught no sooner than 12 years of age. Read the reference tothe machine that executed Elinor. Study closely the parchment that tells how to move

Mercury and to unlock the key. Remember that this was referenced in Nigel's note aboutthe statue in front of his desk seen also through the peephole and the knight statue withthose hands at the second level of gargoyle secret passage.

Read the parchment on the whetstone. Hmm... the Penvellyn treasure is close by. Pan left

and look close at the cabinet on the wall that needs a key. Pan left and climb to the alcove

to check the Wind control mechanism.

Find the column keys using the Ancestor's clues

Time to follow all the clues and keys stated in the journal of the ancestors.

Penny's Aeolus - wind puzzle: Penny's words stated that she made a puzzle to control

the air in the forge. The Aeolus book stated the forge needs air. Go to the alcove left ofthe cabinet with the large keyhole on the wall.

The object of the puzzle is to catch all 4 winds by landing on them (similar to the Bul

puzzle).

The control is at the right panel. Press the blue button to start the game and you (warrior)

move to the center. The blue button also resets the game during gameplay. Use the 4direction arrows to move to one square or 2 squares during your turn.

The game field is the left panel. Note the warrior (like the one by the door) at bottom.

The 4 pictures show the 4 winds. The black squares are traps - so don't go there or youlose.

The 4 winds can blow you to the trap, so watch out where you land. The north wind can

blow you down, the east wind to the left, the west wind to the right and the south wind to

go up.

My strategy was not to be blown to the far left squares and to stay on squares that the

target wind cannot blow me away. ex: above or below the east or west wind as my target

or right or left of the north or south wind. Keep moving until the target wind is within 1


14/24

or 2 non-black square - then land on that target wind. Take the east wind first so there is

no wind to blow you to the far left squares. Good luck!

Nancy will say - It sounds like air is going to the forge when the game is won.

Thomas' well lock: Study the map on the ancestors' journal and see that the well lockis just outside the moving rooms. Exit the forge. Open and close the Mars door twice

without going in. Turn around and exit through the Mercury door. Immediately, turn left

Back up and go right or left (east or west exit). Go back up and out to the second floorhallway. Cell phone rings. Talk to Ned. Talk to Linda in her room.

John's puzzle: Go to the Conservatory. See that the pond is now filled with water after

doing Thomas' well lock door puzzle and the frogs are merrily shooting out water. Talk

to Mrs. Drake if she's working by the potting table.

Water pond puzzle: Based on John's story of Grenny read in Nancy's room, move the

frog from one end to join the princess while keeping away from crocodile (senior mode

only). To guide Grenny, click using the sprayer cursor on the tile in front of Grenny.

Take the key from the frog's mouth. This is the helmet of the armored body on the firstright column by the stairs. This is the Mars column based on the picture on Mutus Liber.

Talk to Mrs. Drake while you're here.

Charles' Slider tile puzzle:

Go to Jane's door. Look at the tiles around Jane's door. Remember what Nigel and

Charles said about the tapestry and the markings on the door.
