## Scenario

Continuing from episode 2, it is Halloween Night, 1927. Our players have been invited to the old Tudor manor of Sir George Reek, on the West Sussex/Hampshire border.

Following the death of the host and the sudden loss of power in the house, some of our investigators have been sent by the French detective to fix the generator. They found it sabotaged, and met a soon-unconscious Mr. Green the gardener. River Proletariat and Harry Peeps took a trip to the potting shed, resulting in Harry's insanity and an attack on Colonel Mustard and Buck McFadden.

## Notable moments

* Another solid introduction from Dom - we are told once again to go back to the first episode.
* Buck is up and talking, albeit with his jaw hanging off. He heads for the dining room, where PC Quinnell is attacking the cook with the rope in the dining hall. Buck joins in - not necessarily on the right side of the fight - followed shortly after by the Detective. No one is quite sure what is happening.
* Dom: Pete "cuts a pathetic figure as he dies". Poor Pete - he loves an RPG and only gets to be in this one as witless foil.
* Buck is trapped in the Scary Dark Place with Constable Quinnell. Both are scared and do not know what to do. It is very unnerving.
* Nathaniel's throwing axes at apparitions. There is a chance that he might hit Ivy. Naturally, he throws off Mr. Green and pushes the roll. Which he fails. Cue a window smashing and cutting into him which he passes out from.
* Ivy makes it worse - she may spit on the wound (*that's* our Kink of the Day!), or kiss it better. Dom reminds us not to administer first aid to a real person with glass stuck in them. Holly: "Call a fucking ambulance!"
* Teri the maid arrives at an unfortunate time. There is a small celebration at Ivy *not* killing Teri which is promptly halted. Adam and Sullivan wail in that version of French that they do. Dom is gleeful.
* Nathaniel is in the Scary Dark Place with Mr. Green. Neither quite know where they are - but Mr. Green recognises that they are somewhere in the basement.
* Tilly's mad Harry scenes become more and more unhinged in a glorious way. Peeps and Proletariat is the new sit-com none of us realised we needed. We could honestly put the entire scene here, but here are the best moments.
	+ This is one of the top three worst dinner parties River has ever been to. Dom: "You'd rather have an axe in the chest!"
	+ Harry: "We could run back to London! It would only take us, what... twelve hours! Six hours! How fast are you? I'm really fast! I used to do cross-country as a boy! Oh, mother!"
* Harry thinks that River is a sack of spiders. Cue another old-timey chase sequence with River chasing Harry.
* Tom is just wonderful as expected - he is doing this amazing atmosphere building and exploration of character, interrupted periodically by the absolute *worst* puns. Watching Adam watching Tom do this stuff is always a joy - there's decades of friendship in that exchange.
* Carlton has a tense conversation with the 'detective' who is not French. This ends with Zombie-George having a snack and Carlton making a hasty escape. Carlton: "Well done George, old chum, always knew you had it in you."
* Buck stops by the trophy room for a surprising snack. Every face around the table is a picture of complete concern. Buck is after one thing - Harry Peeps.
* Harry: "Are you a spider? Legally, you have to tell me".
* Another iconic return of Peeps and Proletariat.
* Nathaniel tries to pray and a different deity responds. While there is humour in the initial failure, it is another haunting moment as Nathaniel tries to crawl towards the river.
* Holly: "I'm so sorry - I did it for everyone!" Laurie: "For everyone?" Holly: "For... for me!"
* The butler did it!
* Mr. Green rocks up and smashes Harry with a lead pipe. Tilly: "I always wanted to die a cliché". There's a big fight, it doesn't go well for everyone. River takes his turn in the Scary Dark Basement Place.
* This still isn't the worst dinner party River's been to - that was the Limongis in Marseille.
* Dom is having fun: “I’m the baddy, I’m the big bad – me!”
* Buck has a missing seventh finger. Lovely.
* Ivy Cordova, willingly this time, punches through a painting to find her fist covered in blood. The streak continues.
* Ivy has gone deaf and cannot hear Carlton, which makes tense exchanges quite difficult.
* Buck is the most intimidating man to ever have existed.
* Buck to Harry: "Fight me, boy." It's worth reminding everyone that Harry Peeps is a 35-year-old literature graduate. And he is the most dangerous game.
* Nathaniel crawls to the lake and dives in to try to save his daughter. It's a beautifully tragic moment, not aided by his multiple mouths.
* Now Carlton joins River in the Scary Dark Basement Place. They work together to escape the basement, although given a gun-wielding Ivy Cordova, this might not be the blessing they thought it was.
* We end by the lake - some of us, any way. A couple have a few more limbs than they did before. It's a very ethereal ending.
* And we finish with the one survivor, Harry Peeps, insane and left with a cliffhanger. The ultimate character arc.

## Trivia

* We pick up exactly where we left off in the last episode.
* More Cluedo references:
	+ The cook's name is confirmed to be Mrs White, a player character from Cluedo. Coincidentally, in 2023 editions of the board game, her name is changed to Chef White.
	+ The butler's name is revealed to be Wadsworth, the same as the butler's name in *Clue*, the 1985 film based off of the board game. He is played by Tim Curry.
	+ Dom often describes strange things as being an unidentifiable colour - not quite mustard, not quite plum, not quite red, not quite green, not quite white, not quite blue. Every colour he lists is the colour of a player token in Cluedo.
	+ More weapons are mentioned - Constable Quinnell strangles Mrs White with a piano wire (or rope); and Mr. Green attacks Harry and River with a lead pipe.
