## Notes

### City

#### Insanity spreading!

If you decide to save the expedition team in Lost at Sea.

In recent days, Oakmont has experienced odd outbreaks of sudden madness. They seem to be spreading throughout the city, seemingly at random, though witnesses report seeing University scientists at the location of the outbreaks.
Dr. Philip Grant of St. Mary's Hospital believes it is all due to a peculiar kind of helminth infestation that apparently originated somewhere around the University. He advises citizens not to neglect their health, and to visit the hospital for a highly-effective anti-helmintic treatment at the first signs of disease.

#### The Academic Poisoner!

If you do not side with George Cavendish in Quid Pro Quo.

Oakmont University has lost one of its most esteemed teachers. The professor of biochemistry from the Department of Medicine, Dr. George Cavendish, Ph.D., turned out to be responsible for numerous deaths.
This maniac appears to have poisoned multiple innocent bystanders in recent days, leaving the academic world shaken. While some of his colleagues admit that with his passion, he seemed capable of anything, others characterize him as a talented researcher and law-abiding citizen.

#### Carpenter heir dead

If you do not help Graham Carpenter in Fathers and Sons.

Misfortune has struck the Carpenter household. Graham Carpenter, son of the Grand Family's head, Brutus, has been found dead in his room.
Doctors suggest the death was the result of food poisoning, and have pointed the finger at bad fish as the cause.
Carpenter Sr. cremated his son with all due honors, and immediately returned to active participation in city life after a long vacation.
"I do not have time to mourn," he told our reporter. "I have more important things to do."

#### Harriet Dough dead!

If you choose to leave with Harriet Dough in Nosedive.

In sad news for many at Oakmont University, beloved scientist Harriet Dough has passed away. The Professor of Archaeology was found washed up at Calmshore Marina by a passer-by.
The Oakmont Chronicle would like to express our sincere condolences to everyone who knew and loved Harriet Dough. Oakmont will mourn the loss of a mind with few peers.

#### Canning factory mystery

If you take up Ebernote's offer in Deal with the Devil.

The Blackwood-Marsh canning factory was last night the site of some sad and unusual events.
According to neighbors, inhuman screams and shouts in an unknown language could be heard for several blocks. Witnesses also reported seeing flashes of light in an unnatural color they struggled to describe.
Ebernote Blackwood, the final representative of the Blackwood Grand Family, was later found dead inside the factory. The cause of death could not be established, but with it comes the end of one of the pillars of Oakmont society.

#### Politician executed!

If you frame Milton in Self-Defense.

The murder of the famous mystic Johannes van der Berg has been solved! As unlikely as it may sound, the killer appears to be one of Oakmont's most prominent political figures, and top mayoral candidate, Milton Pierce.
Neither money nor status could help Mr. Pierce escape the law, despite protestations of innocence. Justice was served, and Mr. Pierce was executed by hanging yesterday.
What will happen to the election race, and who else may decide to throw their hat in the ring? Only time will tell.

#### Another scientist dead!

If you kill Joseph in Fleeing Phoenix.

Oakmont has another great mind. Prominent local scientist and archaeologist Joseph Hill was found dead in his study in Reed Heights overnight.
Who would dare to take the life of this renowned researcher - and, more importantly, why?
While those questions remain unanswered, it seems like Oakmont University's finest are haunted by some kind of unenviable doom.

### Correspondence

#### A crumpled letter

If you cover for Lewis in Frosty Welcome.

Mister Reed,
You were the rare example of a man who treated one of my kind humanly, and I feel I have to repay the debt to you. Take this as a friendly piece of advice: Run! Save your life and leave this droch city to the depths. Don't dig into its secrets, for they are not worth it. There's nothing good left here. I believe you can find a way to escape.
Please, heed my words.
