THE GAME STARTS (ENTRY 100)

So, now you know everything to start your adventure! Place your character

figures in the top right of card A and read the following.

“We’ll see if they’re ready.” With this thought in mind, Piku Abréu’s gaze wanders

through the room and over the small circle of students who are currently engaged

in a lively discussion. The 1989 winter semester is almost over. Participation in

the seminar “The Secrets of Our Island” is always popular, because only those

who receive an invitation are allowed to enroll. In addition to basic instruction in

a strange whistling language and forensics, significant fieldwork as well as the

rediscovery and examination of occult and esoteric beliefs are on the syllabus.

“So, getting to the conclusion for today’s discussion,” says Abréu, interrupting

the conversation. “As you may know, there’s a smuggling ring on this island: Art,

exotic animals, counterfeit money ... Fortunately, the gang has renounced armed

violence. Until recently, the police seem to have had it mostly under control.

But now something has changed. The last known illegal activities all took place

simultaneously with natural events such as earthquakes, hail storms, lightning

strikes, and the like. The smugglers used these as diversions, performing their

crimes while law enforcement officers were busy elsewhere. According to a

reliable source, another operation will soon take place near the large gorge on the

island. Due to several rockfalls, however, this is blocked, and the police cannot

intervene themselves. And that’s where we come in. My informant has asked me

to take a closer look. As part of our forensics fieldwork, we’ll go there on Saturday

and take a look around. In doing so, we should pay attention to anything unusual

that might otherwise be overlooked. Maybe we can shed some light on the matter.”

As the weekend approaches, you consider canceling the excursion as a severe

storm is in the forecast. In addition, there is a note on Professor Abréu’s office

door: “I have a cold. Go without me.” You are too curious to wait, so you get into

your rickety car early in the morning and take the long drive to the gorge. The tight

hairpin turns offer spectacular views, at least for those who don’t mind heights,

such as Jerome and Cataysa. Sato, on the other hand, must keep shutting his

eyes, and Ayana snores quietly.

Finally you reach the small parking lot at the gorge entrance. The wind has

picked up and the volcano has already disappeared into the clouds. Worried, you

look at each other. “So, are we ready, guys?” “I don’t know, Ayana. The sky’s

pretty cloudy already.” “Come on, Cataysa, we have a clear assignment. Turning

back is not one of them.” “That’s the right attitude, Sato. Come on, some exercise

won’t do us any harm.” “I knew you’d be game, Jerome. All right then, let’s get

going.” You get out of the car.

Take #M1 and read it. This is your mission. Then, place #M1 face up to the left

of #T1 and #T2. →A.
