| Once more, the cycle plays out, although certain truths are becoming more apparent. While it's certainly true that those assembled have treated them oddly throughout (with no sign of the especial deference owed to Nikolai, nor of the thinly disguised disgust Sowe might have expected), it now becomes apparent that the family, guests, and servants of Mordere Manor do not recognise our five sleuths in the slightest... or, to be more accurate, //they recognise them as someone entirely other to themselves//. Upon further enquiry, our heroes realise that they are all - all five of them - being identified as a single person, a planar researcher by the name of **Alba Jetsam**. | Once more, the cycle plays out, although certain truths are becoming more apparent.

| - | Meanwhile, the Steward - the only person present who seems to be able to differentiate between the five of them - clearly knows a //lot// more than they're letting on. When the investigators enquire as to how long the Steward has been in the Morderes' employ, and who it was that selected them for the staff, the Morderes seem perplexed and uncertain... until the Steward provides that information for them.

When the investigators enquire as to how long the Steward has been in the Morderes' employ, and who it was that selected them for the staff, the Morderes seem perplexed and uncertain... until the Steward helpfully provides that information for them. The Morderes' relief is palpable: "Ah yes, of course - //that// was it!" |
| The supernatural occurrences have increased in frequency and severity, too. At one point, a family portrait depicting Octavia, Landry and Araminta is flung from the wall - by some unseen hand - with considerable force. Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that Araminta's image is covered in mould - the rest of the painting is untouched. On another occasion, the lights go out and our heroes witness a lantern-lit vision of Araminta dying while a shadowy figure weeps. When they try to address the ghost, first as Alba Jetsam, and then as Charity Scrunch, she appears to answer to both... but then screams, "//that's not my NAME!//" before disappearing. | The supernatural occurrences have increased in frequency and severity, too.
