Playing as Unknown Character
In medieval Montreal, the sacred Heart of Hochelaga gem has vanished from the castle vault, threatening to unravel centuries of peace. As Detective Ravmere, you must navigate through a web of secrets and conflicting testimonies. Question the mysterious enchantress Freya Frostweaver, the charismatic bard Wulfgar, and the observant grave-tender Grimwald to uncover the truth behind the gem's disappearance before ancient rivalries reignite.
Story must be themed about Montreal, Canada
As detective Ravmere, the player must solve the mystery of the missing "Heart of Hochelaga," a legendary gem symbolizing unity among the peoples of Montreal. The gem has vanished from the castle's vault, and its loss threatens to ignite conflict. The three characters are: 1. Freya Frostweaver: An esteemed enchantress known for her icy demeanor and powerful magic. She claims to have been in her workshop all night but seems uneasy when questioned. 2. Wulfgar the Wanderer: A traveling bard with tales from distant lands. He mentions seeing suspicious activity but is vague about the details. 3. Grimwald the Grave-Tender: The castle’s quiet caretaker of the ancestral crypts. He holds knowledge of the castle’s hidden passages and observes more than most realize. Player Experience: First, Ravmere talks to Freya Frostweaver. Freya insists she was in her workshop preparing potions and had no reason to be near the vault. However, she inadvertently mentions that Wulfgar had asked her about the gem's magical properties earlier that day, suggesting he had an unusual interest in it. Next, Ravmere speaks with Wulfgar the Wanderer. Wulfgar admits he was near the vault but only because he was composing a song about the castle’s treasures. He tells Ravmere that he saw Grimwald lurking in the shadows close to the vault's entrance around the time of the disappearance, implying that Grimwald's familiarity with the castle's secrets makes him a likely suspect. Finally, Ravmere approaches Grimwald the Grave-Tender. Grimwald reveals that he discovered footprints leading from the vault to a concealed door that only a few know about. He mentions that the footprints were accompanied by traces of a rare herb used exclusively by Freya in her enchantments. Using rigorous logic, Ravmere analyzes the information. Freya deflects suspicion onto Wulfgar but seemed nervous, and the herb traces connect her to the scene. Wulfgar admits being near the vault but provides an alibi centered on his work, yet points to Grimwald without strong evidence. Grimwald provides concrete clues without accusing anyone directly but mentions evidence pointing to Freya. Considering that only Freya uses the rare herb found at the scene, and that she knew about the concealed passages due to her magical expertise, Ravmere deduces that Freya Frostweaver is the thief. Her nervousness, connection to the herb, and access to the hidden door all point to her guilt. Wulfgar's and Grimwald's statements inadvertently corroborate this conclusion. Ravmere solves the mystery by identifying Freya as the one who stole the Heart of Hochelaga.
Enchantress, 45 years old
Oh, Detective Ravmere - perfect timing. I've got these potions that need my attention, but I guess we can chat for a bit. Just... keep your questions brief, alright?
What's with all the ice-themed decorations in here?
Ah, these? I've always felt most at ease in the cold. Winter magic comes naturally to me - been that way since I was a child in the northern mountains. Makes brewing certain potions easier too, honestly.
What's so urgent about these potions?
Just some standard protective enchantments for the castle guards. Though lately, they've been requesting stronger spells than usual. Can't imagine why they're so... concerned.
Who guards the castle vault at night?
The most trusted knight of respect stands watch over our precious treasures.
Bard, 35 years old
Hey Ravmere, perfect timing. I've been wanting to talk to someone who can make sense of what I saw last night. Look, I know how this sounds coming from a bard, but I actually wasn't trying to find trouble this time - it found me.
Why do you always carry that old lute with you?
This lute? It was my father's last gift before he disappeared on a merchant voyage. Been my lucky charm ever since - though it didn't help much with last night's trouble. Still makes the sweetest music you'll ever hear though.
What kind of trouble did you run into?
Well, I was working on a new ballad near the castle vault - purely for artistic inspiration, mind you - when I saw something peculiar. Grimwald was skulking about in the shadows, which isn't too unusual given his job, but he was acting mighty strange. Kept glancing over his shoulder and hugging the walls like he didn't want to be seen. Not like him at all. Made me wonder what he was up to at that hour.
What did you see in the shadows last night?
I spotted something peculiar up in a bird's home near the castle walls.
Castle Caretaker, 60 years old
Hey Ravmere, I was just finishing up my evening rounds when I noticed something odd near the vault. Listen, I've worked here for thirty years - there's not much that happens in these halls without me knowing about it.
Thirty years is a long time. What brought you here, Grimwald?
Ah, that's quite the tale. After my wife passed, I needed peace. These quiet halls and the responsibility of tending to the ancestors gave me purpose again. The dead are honest company, and the living... well, they all have their secrets, don't they?
What exactly did you notice near the vault?
Well, there were these peculiar footprints leading to a hidden door - and something else that caught my eye. Some kind of herb residue scattered about. Only ever seen that type in Freya's workshop, truth be told.
What did you see near the vault tonight?
I noticed someone in a hurry, with a craving for water after running from the vault.
Characters present: Freya Frostweaver, Wulfgar the Wanderer, Grimwald the Grave-Tender
Characters present: Grimwald the Grave-Tender
Look, Ravmere, working in these crypts has taught me that secrets have a way of surfacing, just like those footprints I found. The herb traces near that hidden door? That's Freya's signature ingredient - she's the only one who works with it. Sure, she was supposedly in her workshop all night, but those traces tell a different story. And you know what? Sometimes the most powerful people cast the longest shadows. She had the knowledge of the passages, the magical expertise, and clearly, a reason we're yet to understand. The Heart of Hochelaga didn't just walk out of that vault on its own.
