Mr. Pawterson and Big Brother Bill #3: Back to Arkham!

Extra , 1 Physical Trauma

Supplies: Medicine, Map, Compass, Binoculars

Opening Hand: Ever Vigilant, Beat Cop, Guard Dog, Lucky!, Lucky!

Our adventure is nearing its end and all of us are going back to Arkham. The closer we got to home the more comfortably Big Brother Bill talked about the Relic of Ages with Mr. Vela. It’s how we decided to call it! We’re planning to display it in a museum, so that everyone can see it. Good job, everyone! As for myself, I’m looking forward to seeing my Little Miss the most. I hope we can make the time and see her on the same day we make it back to Arkham. Thank you very much for following Big Brother’s exploits!

Hello? It’s me again. As you can see I’m still with Big Brother Bill. As it turns out there were some people intent on keeping the Relic of Ages from the public and those people keep harassing us. They went as far as to kidnap Mr. Vela, but Big Brother managed to find him even before the police. You can always rely on Big Brother Bill! Still, it’s not good to heap everything on just one person, even if this person is as big as Bill. So, I was wondering, perhaps you could help us more directly? Especially if you live in or near Arkham. They keep saying that the secret must be kept, but you have my word that no secret was entrusted to Big Brother. Meet us at the Arkham Town Hall, if you can make it, OK?

Big Brother and I just got word that the town hall is occupied. We’re still going there, but everyone must be extra careful and be sure not to overexert themselves. We don’t want to end up like that nice policeman who was with us earlier. In any case, if your parents say that it is dangerous to go then they’re of course entirely in the right. Everyone should be responsible and listen to their parents. Of course, if they are reluctant to let you go alone you can ask them to come with you. It would be of immense help to us!

A-HA! We won’t have to worry about him anymore. However, Big Brother Bill hit him a teeny-tiny bit too hard and now the nasty man is in no shape to answer our questions. We’ve got no choice but to search the entire building. And the town hall is vast. I don’t think it’s as big as the temple back in the jungle, but it has so many more rooms! Let’s try counting the doors. One. Two. Oh, it’s already more than I have paws. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. It’s very nearly as many as Big Brother Bill has fingers on both his hands! All of them are closed and Big Brother Bill quickly moves past them, trying each handle in turn. This is because the hooded man had no key on him, so whichever door is the correct one should be already open. I’m repeating it after Big Brother, because he doesn’t expect anyone to be listening and he just murmured that under his breath.
