## Synopsis

While travelling on a train to London, Miss Marple is told by a woman she has never met, Lavinia Pinkerton, that she is certain there have been two murders in her village of Wychwood. When Lavinia dies in what is purported to be an accident - she fell, or was pushed, down the escalator in a tube station, Miss Marple decides to visit Wychwood and see what she could find. As Miss Marple is apt to say, one English village is like another and Wychwood has its secrets like any other. The first woman to die was Florrie Gibbs who, despite being experienced in such things, supposedly ate poison mushrooms she picked herself. The second was the local vicar who failed to wear his mask when using poison near his beehives. The third is a young woman, who, it is said, accidentally drank hat dye instead of her cough medicine. Miss Marple finds a clue that points to a motive with origins many years before and a secret someone will do anything, including murder, to keep hidden.

## Differences to the Original

* This was not originally a Miss Marple book.
* It significantly changes the original, by removing, adding and changing characters and adding subplots.
* The murder's motive is different.

## Appearance

Nushi no Orochi takes the appearance of a large snake, indistinguishable from any common, single colored snake if not for the markings on the top of its head or its size.

## Personality

Despite being a spirit that has watched over Mt.Tsukuna for centuries, the serpent is a curious and stubborn being who fusses over little details like phrasing and how people see him. He is concerned about how people see him as a man-eater and prefers to eat young virgins if he had to. He is also very dubious with Kotoko's deductions despite being the one who calls her in the first place.

## Background

As a guardian serpent, he has spent centuries taking care of Mt.Tsukuna and observing the people who visit the mountain. He has been worshipped as a water god since ancient times and people have given him human sacrifices to ask for rain, despite the fact that he really has no power over water.

In Chapter 15, he requests the help of Iwanaga to tell him what Aoi Tanio meant when she said "I really hope they find it," after disposing of a body into the swamp he presides over.

## Trivia

* He is called as "**daija**", the ancient kanji reading of 'orochi', as confirmed in *Kyokou Suiri* Mini-Anime #30.

Steel Lady Nanase

* Anime
* Manga

**Steel Lady Nanase** (鋼人七瀬, *Kojin Nanase*) is an urban legend of the vengeful spirit that haunts the Makurazaka town, based on the untimely death of idol Karin Nanase. It's later revealed that she's not the ghost of Karin Nanase, but an imaginary creature created by Rikka Sakuragawa's powers.

## Appearance

She takes on the image of the idol Karin Nanase, the only physical difference being the gaping hole where her face should be. As a part of her ensemble, she carries a steel I-beam, similar to the one that smashed Karin Nanase's face and took her life.

## Background

Steel Lady Nanase was first brought into the public eye with the creation of the Steel Lady Nanase Wiki, an online site made by Rikka Sakuragawa. It slowly rose into infamy after a rise of sightings around the city.

She first appeared in a faraway city named Makurazaka. The rumor is that night after night, Nanase manifested and crawled out from under the pile of girders as if being reborn. She wears the same outfit she did when she was an idol lugging around the same steel beam that crushed her face.

## Abilities

**Supernatural Strength**: Steel Lady Nanase's inhuman strength makes her a deadly combatant, outmatched both Kotoko Iwanaga and Saki Yumihara. She could 'kill' Kuro Sakuragawa multiple times if it wasn't for Kuro's immortality. She fights with the steel beam she always carries as her main weapon.

**Intangibility**: Despite being visible to the naked eye, she can't be touched by ordinary humans for some reason. This has proven when Saki Yumihara and Terada tried to land an attack on her, only to pass through her body. However, those who have spiritual power or are connected with the yokai and spectres such as Kotoko Iwanaga and Kuro Sakuragawa, can casually hit her.

**Immortality**: She possesses an incredibly high level of endurance and can ignore most injuries. In fact, however, she is immortal since she exists because of human thought. Thus, as long as there are humans supplying thoughts of her existence, she remains effectively unkillable; hence her life lies not within her body but within the countless desires that have given her form its flesh.

Dawn Fortress Throne Room

The third raid of the game, Dawn Fortress Throne Room, takes place in a luscious... throne room. Here you'll be facing three bosses at the same time so take caution! Don't be afraid to use a Scroll of Healing or Healing Potion when you need to.

In terms of the map, you take one right turn and that's it! Time to face the bosses!

Arena

## **As of 9/15/15 (and probably before that) Arena has changed.** Edit

The Arena is just 1 round of progressively higher level monsters. There is no Boss of each wave.

At the end of your run the loot guy pushes a chest out for you to open to collect your loots.

How the arena works: The arena randomly spawns enemies you've (not) found during your farming. It's all a random chance. Every time you clear out the lesser enemies, the wave will increase by one. For every 6 waves, there will always be a "boss" enemy that is a lot more powerful than the lesser enemies and can be found in the raiding maps. Once the boss is defeated, the round number will increase by one and enemies become stronger.

Here's the power of the enemies:

Round 1 = 75%

Round 2 = 150%

Round 3 = 225%

Round 4 = 300%

Round 5 = 375%

Round 6 = 450%

And so on, increasing by 75% each round. Yet, once your party is defeated, the waves will stop and you'll be rewarded with various items that are placed in the middle of your base. Be warned because there will be a 1 hour timer placed onto the arena.
