Tale of Woe plot



WALKTHROUGH - CHAPTER 6

TABLE OF CONTENTS
PLOT LINKS

The name of the Spirit of Slumber has been found!


This means there will be no more grave-marking. This part of the plot is now closed and you can't do it any more. But I will leave the guide up for your reference.

Step 1 -

A new part of the comic is out. Read it and you will know that the Spirit of Slumber didn't have a headstone! So we need to mark off all the headstones from the list of registered deaths.

Start by going to the Caretaker's Vault.

The Caretaker's Vault

You enter the strange house. Inside are rows of shelves stuffed with hundreds of books. They all seem to be records about deaths in the Haunted Woods. The Brain Tree would love this place!



The Caretaker

Hey! You're the ones who dug up all the graveyards, and then stole my books! GET OUT!
Gilly

AHHH!! RUN AWAY!





Step 2 -

Click on "Visit the graveyards", you will see the following conversation:

Haunted Woods Graveyard



Sophie

Well, now that the Caretaker's all upset that we dug up half the Haunted Woods looking for the Spirit of Slumber's bones, we're going to have to do this name-elimination business a little more, uh, quietly.
Gilly

That Caretaker really is scary when he's angry!
Sophie

I kind of, um, stole his graveyard reference books after we found the Spirit's bones. So he's even more angry now.
Bruno

A wise choice.
Sophie

Look, here's the first thirty graveyards we should check. Once we've gone through every grave, I'll take it off the list and put on some new ones. Let's get going!

Step 3 -

Pick a grave to start marking. Click on any grave link and you will be brought into that grave. Look for tombstones that do not have a little red "x" on it.


If someone already got to the grave before you, you will see the following:

Haunted Woods Graveyard

Eugene Yule


died
21st day of Eating, Y4






Someone's already marked this grave. You should go find a different grave to check off.








If you successfully found an unmarked grave, you will see the following:

Haunted Woods Graveyard

Fred Theodoric


died
1st day of Running, Y3






It looks like nobody's marked this grave yet! You should write down the name and date of death and go find the name in the books so you can cross it off!








If you got the grave, go back to the Caretaker's Vault. You can take your time, as the grave is yours to mark off. You will see the following:

The Caretaker's Vault

You enter the strange house. Inside are rows of shelves stuffed with hundreds of books. They all seem to be records about deaths in the Haunted Woods. The Brain Tree would love this place!



Gilly

Where'd the Caretaker go?
Sophie

Must be taking a break.
Bruno

Which shelf has the book we need?
Sophie

Uh... I don't know. Let's pick one and figure it out.






The shelf in the background should now be clickable. The records are organized into months of death. Search through the shelves until you found the correct month of death. Sometimes during searching, the caretaker would come back and scare you off, just click on "Return to the Caretaker's Vault" to come back.

If you clicked on the wrong shelf, this will show up:

The Caretaker's Vault




The books on this shelf are all for deaths that occurred in the month of Running.









Once you pick the right shelf, you will see the following:


The Caretaker's Vault

You've found the proper records book. It seems to contain records for everyone who died on 1st day of Running, Y3.

Click on the entry that you are looking for. If the person you are looking for is not on this page, click on "»»»" for the next page. If you crossed off the name successfully, you will see the following:

The Caretaker's Vault




Sophie

Good work! Only countless thousands more names to go.
Gilly

Hooray.








Click on "Visit the graveyards" and you will see this:

Haunted Woods Graveyard

James Reese


died
31st day of Collecting, Y7






You've already found this name in the books and crossed it off. Go find another grave!






Congrats, now you can repeat this over and over. :)

If you found the wrong name, Sophie will be very angry!

The Caretaker's Vault




Sophie

That's the wrong name! You're going to screw everything up if you don't keep track properly!
Gilly

Sorry! Sheesh.
Sophie

Just go find a different name, okay? I'll unmark the grave you got wrong.








This means you just lost the grave you marked and someone else can go get it now. :(

On Oct 27, 2006, all the names have been marked off. If you go back to the graveyard, you will see this:

The Caretaker's Vault

Gilly

We did it! We eliminated every name except one.
Sophie

Well? What name is it?
Gilly

"Jubart Igig." How unusual. Very unlike most of the other names we found. Maybe it's an anagram of something... Nah.
