Here is part 2 of this series: I want people to actually follow the clues and try to find out who the murderer is.....so in a few days would you post this like we spoke about? That way it can all stay straight.
Thanks!

Take the stairs into the cellar:
You are in istlionk the butler's room. It is small, stifling and musty. A bare staircase leads upwards. A heavy wooden door appears to lead deeper into the cellar.
Open the wooden door:
The wooden door is old and the lock is heavily rusted. The door handle will not budge. And you do not want to force it. It is so rusted that it might easily break off. You wonder what could be in there....(post how you would open this lock without destroying it on the VW MB if you are correct then you get to advance further.) Go upstairs to talk to istlionk
Go back upstairs to the hall to talk to istlionk:
"Do you know who the deceased arrived with?"
"Naturally I know that. Ms. Smith arrived with jhaehl. Mr. jhaehl is upstairs. Up the stairs, then left."
Go up the stairs:
You are at the top of the staircase. There are four doors (two on either side) leading to the rooms.
Enter room at front on left:
You are in a bedroom. A few things are hanging disorderly in the closet. A shirt lies over one of the chairs. jhaehl is here and looks quite pale. Talk to him and see what he has to say.
"I... I had expected you earlier. Dreadful, simply dreadful what has happened." The young man is obviously nervous.
"What is your relationship with wave.os?"
"He is my uncle. Actually, this was supposed to be a little family get-together. But now..."
"What can you tell me about the deceased?"
"Natalie? Hmm, yes. Her full name is Natalie Smith, I met her through a friend. She had the adjoining room.
"What was your relationship with her?
"She was a good acquaintance. That's all." He says
"But nevertheless you brought her to a family celebration?" You say
"It was just a spur of the moment thing. Nothing special." He said and looks away.
You can tell he is hiding something when he says this....
"What can you tell me about the house and its staff?"
"The house is really quite old and has always been in the family. Just like jdb_educator, our cook. The butler, istlionk, must be new. Today is the first time I ever saw him."
Go back into the hall.
Enter the room at the back to the left:
You are in the deceased's bedroom. An empty suitcase lies in the corner. A few cosmetics stand on a small table. Some clothes are hanging in the wardrobe.
Search the room:
You search the room what can you find here? The pockets of the clothes in the closet are empty, the suitcase is empty. There are no books, no pieces of notepaper. The cosmetics on the night table are all commonly found items. There is also a harmless sleeping drug. No photos, no telephone numbers, no letters. Very strange. How can someone live so impersonally?
Examine the cosmetics:
Two lipsticks, some perfume, a mascara. Powder and brush. Nothing suspicious.
Examine the sleeping drug:
The sleeping drug seems to be the only half-way personal item here. The name of the prescribing doctor is on the label. A fairly useless clue and the handwriting is illegible anyway. But it's the best clue so far, so you take the bottle with you.
Search the wardrobe:
The closet is made out of dark chestnut. You feel all the surfaces and knock in places. *knock knock* *Bam bam blomb* Hmmm....this feels hollow....how to get it open? (Post on the VW MB how you would open this without destroying the wall?...if correct then you get to advance further.)
Enter the room at the back on the right:
Talk to thesesamekid:
"Good evening, Detective. My name is thesesamekid. I am a comrade of wave.os. You want to question me about the murder, correct?"
"What can you tell me about Sassyq22?"
"Sassyq22 is the lady of the house. She is quite often, how shall I put this, somewhat less friendly. But you shouldn't take that too seriously. She is actually very good-natured when you know how to deal with her."
"How did she act toward Ms. Smith?"
"She acted none too friendly. She did not want her in the house at all!"
"Why would she not want her in the house?
"Because she is quite a hmmm jealous woman. She of course would not like a young attractive woman staying in her home around her beloved."
"Tell me a bit about wave.os.
"wave.os is an old comrade. He owns this magnificent house. Actually, there was supposed to be a family get-together this weekend."
"Did you know the deceased?"
"Ms. Smith? I met her for the first time this evening. She seemed very pleasant company. I believe jhaehl brought her with him. She was quite chatty and flirty. Other than that, I'm afraid I can't tell you much about her."
"Do you have any idea who might have murdered Ms. Smith?"
"I have no idea who it could have been. I know that Sassyq22 did not like her, but murder? No, I don't think so." she said.
"But you're not sure?" You say.
"Detective, I cannot believe that you honestly suspect Sassyq22. She may not be the nicest person, but she is not a murderess!"
Enter room at right front:
You are in a bedroom. The furnishing is fairly rustic but very homey. There is ARE almost a dozen small pillows lying on the bed. This is Y_L's room. You see a row of books on the shelves. hmm Interesting titles he has here...Murder 101, Silent scream...and there are many many more just like those. Y_L is not here so go back downstairs
Go into the drawing room to talk to sassyq22 again. Once there you see the plate of crackers on the table. Take a handful of crackers:
Talk to Sassyq22
Sassyq22: "I have told you all I will or know about THAT woman!"
Well I see now why they say she can be….not so nice? You think to yourself. "Well Ms. Sassyq22, I need to ask you a few more questions... According to what others are saying you are a jealous woman, and that, my dear, is a motive."
Sassyq22's mouth drops open and she looks as if you slapped her in the face. "WHY I NEVER! NO I did NOT murder THAT woman! But if you could have seen the way she threw herself at wave.os!! I COULD have, but I didn't!" She screams at you. "Now if you will PLEASE take your leave from me and GO find the REAL killer!!"End of part Two
