You look accusingly at each of the servants and consider what they each said in turn. "You say that only one of them can tell the truth. Now the only one that can be telling the truth while all the others are lying is the cook, and since the gardener claims he didn't do it and we know he must be lying, that must make him the killer!" With that, the four servants all begin to disappear into the air. You have solved their riddle and now they can finally move on to the afterlife.


"Thank you." The ghost of the noblewoman tells you as she begins to fade away. "Finally I can rest in peace. I wish you luck on your next riddle. I hear it can only be solved by one with the sharpest of eyes."


Once the woman's ghost has faded from sight you leave the dining hall and descend another spiral staircase until you find yourself in a long passageway that seems to wind in a circle around the tower. All across the walls hang the most incredible works of art. Landscapes and seascapes and portraits of lords and ladies dressed in shimmering silks, all painted with exquisite attention to detail. There is one painting that draws your eye though, a strange pattern made up of purple roses which would look very pretty on a pair of curtains but seems incredibly out of place hanging on the wall with the other paintings.


"Ah, I zee you are admiring my masterpiece." A voice speaks from behind you and you turn to see a ghost of a man standing behind you dressed in a brightly coloured tunic, holding a paint palette in one hand and a brush in another. "Oh ze hours I slaved avay on zis painting and ze mastery, it iz vasted on blind fools! Vhat of you I vonder? Can you zee past vhat is in front of your eyes? Tell me, vhat is it you zee in ze painting?"

A Ring

The artist applauds your reply. "You zee! You zee! Oh you vonderful peasant, you zee ze ring! Now I can finally move on knoving zat my vork, it is appreciated! Good luck escaping vith your life and all zat." And with that the ghost leaps into a blank canvas which  quickly becomes a painting of a rather eccentric looking artist with a paintbrush and palette in his hands.


Opening a door at the end of the hallway, you find another staircase. As you descend the stairs you pass by a window which shows you are almost halfway down the tower now. Keep up the good work and you'll be free in no time.


At the bottom of the stairs you open a door to reveal another round room. This room has six doors and they are each guarded by a suit of armour holding a different flag. No ghosts appear to give you advice, so you head towards the centre of the room to choose a door. It is then that the suits of armour come to life and bang the ends of their flags on the ground in unison.


The first guard is holding a blue flag with white and red crosses going both from corner to corner and through the centre of the flag. The guard shouts, "None shall pass!"


The second guard is holding a flag with vertical blue, white and red stripes. He shouts, "Personne ne peut entrer!"


The third guard is holding a flag with red stripes at the top and bottom, a yellow stripe in the middle and to the left a picture of a shield with a crown on top. He shouts, "Nadie puede pasar!"


The fourth guard is holding a flag with horizontal black, red and yellow stripes. He shouts, "Niemand darf passieren!"


The fifth guard is holding a blue flag with a yellow cross going through. He shouts, "Ingen kan passera!"


The sixth guard is holding a flag with vertical green, white and red stripes. He shouts, "Vieni dentro piccola persona!"

You open the first door

Well the evil lord of the tower sure knows his European languages. You choose your door and turn the door knob but before you can open it, the suit of armour that guards your door plunges his spear into your back and it pierces all the way through your body, coming out of your chest. The spear also happens to be the stick on which his flag was attached and so you get to watch the little bloodstained flag flapping about before you slump to the ground and die.
