Peter Battley

* III
* V

**Peter Battley** is an outcast in the Cloudsley family. Prior to the fake death of Edmund Cloudsley, he was unable to support himself financially, resorting to horse betting and accumulating large gambling debts. The family distanced themselves from him due to his incessant requests for financial aid.

## Biography

### The Dramatic Departure of an Outsider

Peter Battley expects to receive riches in the will of his late uncle Sebastian Cloudsley, but instead is merely given a book of aphorisms "to provide the direction in [his] life [he] so clearly lack[s]". Enraged, Peter tears up the will and orders servants Adam Pear and James Pear to steal the Golden Idol, which was bequeathed to Willard Wright despite having no connection to the Cloudsley family. Willard uses the Idol to perform spontaneous combustion on James Pear, killing him instantly.

### The Intoxicating Dinner Party

Peter Battley is invited to a dinner party at Edmund Cloudsley's manor so that he and Rose Cubert can convince Peter to move to the United States and stop burdening his family. Peter uses his time there to compete with Edmund for the hand of Mary Richards, writing notes for her diary and bribing Brian Walker into seating Mary next to him at the dinner table. It is implied that Mary reciprocated Peter's feelings, but her father Lothar Richards would not allow the marriage due to Peter's financial status. Peter blames Brian for the poisoning of Rose.

### The Grand Vision of a Better World

Following the fake death of Edmund Cloudsley, Peter inherets Sebastian Cloudsley's manor and a presumably large portion of Edmund's riches. This convinces Lothar Richards to allow the marriage between Peter and Mary Battley. Edmund laments this marriage in his notebook, claiming it to be "null and void".

### The Triumph of Order

Edmund Cloudsley interrogates Lothar Richards for the dwelling of Peter Battley and Mary Battley.

### The Slight Delay in the Peaceful March to the King's Castle

Peter Battley wins a cannon from John Breage's ship from gambling. Edmund Cloudsley storms his manor in an attempt to kidnap and wed Mary Battley, but Peter kills him with his cannon in a drunken rage. Mary and Peter retreat to the Lover's Islet.

The Bearing can change at the following points during Meet Up :

* At Peter's house, you can choose if you either want Peter to wear jeans, sweatpants or shorts during the game. This also focuses on the ways some students can get drugged.
* Choosing Jeans will unlock the scene where Peter is tasked to grab some cones from the Warehouse, where he's knocked out by a chloroform coated handy, held by a masked figure.
* Choosing Sweatpants will unlock the scene where Peter and Evan discuss after the PE class, resulting in them drinking water and getting knocked out by the drug that was put inside.

## Plot

On May 15, 1795, Walter Keene was expecting to meet with Lazarus Herst. Walter had send Lazarus a letter some days prior, threatening to reveal his true identity of Edmund Cloudsley to the members of the Order Party if he was not given back the years he lost in the 42nd Order Party tribunal. Lazarus sent a letter back claiming that he agreed to Walter's terms, but instead ordered David Gorran to assassinate him, sending him to the Little Mermaid Inn with one of Edmund's embroidered handkerchief to meet the veiled woman mentioned in Walter's letter. Afterwards, Lazarus went with multiple guards to the Blackfield Manor, where Lothar Richards had informed him Mary Battley and Peter Battley were hiding. He attempted to kidnap and wed Mary, but was met by a drunken Peter with a cannon that he won from John Breage's ship while gambling. Peter lit the cannon, killing Lazarus and breaking his Golden Idol.

Nicolas Maker, worried by Lazarus not returning to the Party Camp by 10 AM as he promised, sent James Turner and Alistair Koch to search for him. They found his corpse at the manor, as well as the broken Idol. They began taking it back to the camp, but started to fight over it on the way, leading to James' death at the Bellwood Crossroads. Alistair attempted to use the Idol on an apple, to no avail.

Meanwhile, David Gorran visited the veiled woman, Ada Baker, at the Little Mermaid Inn. He gave her Edmund's embroidered handkerchief, and in return she gave him a note revealing Walter Keene's location at the Cloudsley Cabin. David went to the cabin and shot who he believed Walter through the window. However, he had shot a decoy, and was then shot and killed by the real Walter, who was hiding in a pond behind him.

*With all due respect sir, but there seems to be a misunderstanding here. I stood tall on that stage, my eyes blazing with a manic energy as I began to speak. "Welcome, my dear students, to the greatest show on earth! For years, I have labored to create the most elaborate, dangerous, and exciting traps and monsters imaginable, all for your enjoyment.” But they were also to find out that they were the ones I’ll unleash them on. You need a great mind, for this kind of thing and plan, time and patience. And also, be hidden in plain sight. The monsters on the other hand, trust me, it took me some time, and I’ve hid them well, somewhere else, somewhere you won’t find them, though I will always wait for someone, someone brave, someone gruesome and creative enough to carry on… the legacy of The Master!*

Ergin Ptoo

Ergin Ptoo is a prince of the 11th clan of Lemuria. He greatly dislikes the Seven Seas Company for their disregard for Lemurian life and culture, an aspect of the story that would later be expanded on in *Golden Idol Mysteries: The Spider of Lanka*.

## Biography

### The Interrupted Weekend at the Doctor's Salon

Upon receiving an inviation to James Turner's manor, Ergin Ptoo forms a plan to steal back the seal that the Seven Seas Company took from his clan. Ergin spends the day with Gideon Bell, playing croquet in the morning and later retreating to the tea-house. Ergin had spiked the tea with Lemurian lichen, which causes hyperconcentration on one thing and a loss of time perception. Gideon drinks the spiked tea, after which Ergin directs his attention to the chess-house, then leaves to the salon. He steals the seal of the Ptoo clan from the wall, but is seen by Leopold Blanchard, who was nearly passed out after drinking sherry spiked with black poppy. During the meeting between the people present in the manor over the murder of Augustus Vallantine, Leopold blames Ergin, both because he saw him enter the salon while passing out and because the murder weapon was a Lemurian boomerang.

However, knowing that Oberon was responsible for the sabotage of Anula Gamini's rebirth ritual, Yupik had reported to Putra Sun prior that Oberon would be in the press.

As part of a ploy to separate the Loyalist and Moderate parties and ensure that Lazarus Herst wins the 1792 Prime Ministerial election, Leopold Blanchard is invited to James Turner's manor, along with Moderate Party leader Augustus Vallantine and other miscellaneous guests. Leopold begins the day by drinking a bottle of sherry with James in the library. James had spiked the sherry with black poppy, causing Leopold to fall asleep, but not before seeing Ergin Ptoo attempt to sneak into the salon. Once Leopold falls asleep, James rips a button off of his shirt, which he would later give to Alistair Koch.

* IV

**Willard Wright** was a member of the Brotherhood of Masks and one of the known users of the Golden Idol. He was murdered one night at the Little Mermaid by David Gorran to steal the Idol from his possession after he had inherited it from Sebastian Cloudsley's will.

## Biography

Willard Wright was a member of the Brotherhood of Masks, having the rank of Proudbeast Initiate. He was the one in possession of the Golden Idol after Sebastian Cloudsley bestowed it to the Brotherhood and him through his will.

On September 7, 1786, Peter Batley ordered the Pear twins to take the golden statue from Wright after Batley figured out he would receive practically nothing from his uncle's will. Using the Idol to perform a spontaneous combustion, Wright managed to make Adam burst into flames, much to the surprise of everyone around.

The Grand Vision of a Better World

## OTHER STAGES

**The Grand Vision of a Better World** is the epilogue and the twelfth and final stage of *The Case of the Golden Idol*. Unlike other stages that require searching for clues, all of the clues are given immediately upon starting. Also unlike other stages, the thinking panel is not centered around the current situation but rather a brief summary of the entire story.

## Plot

On November 24, 1788, Edmund Cloudsley held a meeting in his hideout with David Gorran and Walter Keene, who Edmund had captured two weeks prior. Before the meeting, Edmund depleted the organic matter of a homeless veteran outside using the Golden Idol, causing him to die of old age. After some amount of time in the hideout, he used the organic matter stored in the Idol to de-age himself, solidifying his transition into his persona of Lazarus Herst. David and Walter swore their loyalty to him and the Order Party.

## Thinking panel

### Left panel

 Sebastian   Cloudsley  left the  idol  to the  Brotherhood  in his will but then  David   Gorran , on  Edmund   Cloudsley 's orders, stole the  idol  and accidentally stabbed  Willard   Wright . The  Brotherhood  tasked  Walter   Keene  to punish  Edmund   Cloudsley  and recover the  idol , but his attempts were fruitless.

### Middle panel

During one attempt,  Walter   Keene  was captured and  Edmund   Cloudsley  convinced him to join his side.  Edmund   Cloudsley  used the  idol  to make himself young and infiltrated the  Brotherhood  under the new identity of  Lazarus   Herst . Then he claimed to be  Gryphon   Reborn  and transformed the  Brotherhood  into the  Order   Party .

### Right panel

Brotherhood Masters  Alistair   Koch  and  James   Turner  helped  Lazarus   Herst  seize power in the country and enforce the rule of  virtues  by taking  youth  away from common people and giving it to the  Order   Party  members.

Right before the final showdown with the uncooperative  King ,  Lazarus   Herst  wanted to kidnap  Mary   Battley  but was shot by  Peter   Battley  and the  idol  was broken.

## Plot

On January 12, 1742, Zubiri Kerra, Tissa Gamini and Jayan Ji completed their voyage to Monkey Paw Island. Due to a deadly storm, their ship crashed into a large rock, killing Abhaya Gamini and leaving the rest barely alive. Vyrlis Momgo was initially hostile towards the newcomers, but Lavu Mata convinced him to sympathize with their position and welcome them to the village.

On January 25, 1742, Sutul Vaito was warned by a message wall controlled by Lavu that he had one day remaining to fend off Tower Dweller. The next morning, he went to the tower and spoke an incantation believed to banish the dweller to his tower. In reality, this incantation was a voice command for Tower Dweller, instructing it to remove a portion of Sutul's lifespan using the Golden Idol. Tower Dweller followed through with the command, killing Sutul.

* After the  incantation  was spoken, the  golden   idol  was activated to  reduce   lifespan  and  Sutul   Vaito  died.

Abhaya Gamini

**Abhaya Gamini** was the raja of the Gamini Kingdom on the Island of Lanka.

## Biography

### The Unfortunate Accident at the Raja's Court

Abhaya Gamini, knowing that only Tissa Gamini and Yupik Kerra were allowed in the ritual hall during the rebirth ritual's testing procedure, falsely deduces that Yupik must have been responsible for the murder of Arri Sukerra, and by extension, Abhaya's daughter Anula Gamini. As a result, Abhaya calls for the death of Yupik's own child, Zubiri Kerra. However, Yupik reveals the location of the fountain of youth on Monkey Paw Island instead; this satisfies the Lemurian "life for life" principle, and Abhaya forgives him, but demands that Zubiri come with him to the island so that he can be killed if Yupik is lying.

### The Enigmatic Expiration in a Harmonious Island Commune

Abhaya makes the voyage to Monkey Paw Island accompanied by Jayan Ji, Tissa, and the captive Zubiri. The ship crashes into a nearby islet during a storm. Abhaya dies as a result of the shipwreck, leaving Tissa to take on the title of Raja.

Walter Keene, having learned that Edmund was responsible for the murder of fellow Brotherhood member Willard Wright, ordered Edmund's maid Ada Baker to assassinate him during the dinner party. Ada created a fake key to Edmund's medicine cabinet and poisoned a bottle of his peptic tonic.
