 Visiting Cline | Description |
|---|---|
| 4 | The house is unremarkable among its fellows […] like another tooth crammed into a crowded mouth. But the vague directions you received from the […] Club seem to match its location. And there, on the windowsill: a stone carved in the shape of an apple. |
| 5 - 6 | […] Scratches on the wooden floor indicate that the room wasn't always so empty: the other furniture must have been dragged away hastily.
Only the long table […] remains. On it: the calcified shell that you came here to obtain. And, conspicuously, a knife. |
| 7 | […] the other furniture must have been dragged away hastily. Only the long table with the white cloth remains. […] The Shrouded Man sits expectantly, his sheet pulled down around his midsection to reveal the fresh specimen on his back. |
