Strange Pamphlets

A quest from Headmistress Abigailia in 6 steps. It begins at Headmistress Office.

Before you start

Walkthrough(6)

Steps marked “one of” have alternative entries: which one you get depends on your choices.

  1. One of 2

    The Headmistress asked me to find evidence about the pamphlets and bring it her.

    Talk to Headmistress Abigailia at Headmistress Office.

    Answer Why?

    You

    Why?

    Headmistress Abigailia

    But stories like these stir up fear and resentment over issues that are long resolved. There is nothing to be concerned about, but some people can't resist riling up the school.

    Headmistress Abigailia

    And if this job has taught me anything it's that students love an excuse to start lighting fires...

    Headmistress Abigailia

    Anyhow - that's not why I called you here today - I'm happy you're settling in.

    Fern thinks the Headmistress is up to something. She asked me to give evidence of the pamphlets to her instead.

    Talk to Fern at Great Hall (from 14:25).

    Answer She has no idea.

    She has no idea.

    Fern

    And something must be generating these pamphlets - they seem to be endless.

    Fern

    I just want to talk to the author. See why they wrote this stuff - maybe there's something really serious going on.

    Fern

    If you find anything would you let me know? And maybe don't mention it to the Head?

  2. One of 2

    I discovered where the pamphlets are coming from. The caretaker told me the printing press has been cursed with a Cacophony. Maybe Fern or the Headmistress know more about that.

    Talk to Rowan at Grey Hall.

    Rowan

    I'm probably supposed to lock this door. And report it to someone. But maybe these pamphlets are right? Who am I to censor anyone, anyway?

    Rowan

    Eh, I'll just forget I ever saw that printing press.

    I silenced the printing press and got a Cacophony shard! I need to decide who to tell about this.

    This entry is added automatically when the story moves on.

  3. Fern is looking into how we can resolve the Cacophony curse. There's nothing more I can do about it right now.

    Talk to Fern at Great Hall (from 14:25).

    Answer See you later.

    See you later.

    Fern

    Let me do some digging. Dealing with this is way above my skill - but I'm just too curious.

    Fern

    Maybe we could just... not mention this to the Head until I find out more?

    Fern

    This is all so odd!

  4. The Headmistress seems upset to learn about the cacophony curse. There's nothing more I can do about it right now.

    Talk to Headmistress Abigailia at Headmistress Office.

    Answer -Cacophony?

    You

    -Cacophony?

    Headmistress Abigailia

    Oh, for Symphony's sake! Of course it would be a cacophony curse. You students never cease to amaze.

    Headmistress Abigailia

    Oh, who knows how long this will take to sort out. Absolute foolishness. What a mess.

  5. One of 2

    I gave the Cacophony shard to Fern.

    Fern

    No way... A cacophony curse? That's some kind of dark magic. There's no way they would teach us about that.

    Fern

    Well, no wonder the Headmistress is scared. Whoever wrote the pamphlets is pretty powerful.

    Fern

    I found out that cacophony shards hold onto a trace of the witch who cast them. There's a spell here somewhere... Put the shard on the table?

    I gave the Cacophony shard to the Headmistress.

    On second thought - please don't explain. I genuinely can't fathom thinking about this for another moment.

    Headmistress Abigailia

    These stones are very valuable. I appreciate you bringing it to me and resolving the issue. I'll be able to look into who's written these pamphlets now. Take this as thanks.

    Headmistress Abigailia

    I can still hear the flapping and fluttering of pages in my mind...

  6. I wonder if this spell will work on the printing press too.
