While we had gathered several pieces of the demon's body, we were at a dead end: how could we find out where the others were hidden? I then reminded Father and Prescott that we were invited to join Baroness Vonarburg for dinner. We decided to halt our investigation and to enjoy the evening at her manor, located in the middle of a splendid country estate.The Baroness had been nice enough to send her personal chauffeur to pick us up in her Bentley. Of course, Prescott was very excited at the prospect of riding in this new model.Dinner was wonderful. While we were sipping our brandy, Father steered the conversation towards England's glorious past and its medieval history. The baroness then made a surprising proposition: if he wanted to learn about a specific event of that time, why not ask the people who lived through it?With great enthusiasm, the baroness gathered us around a table and asked us to join hands,despite Father's misgivings, Prescott's profound skepticism and my own apprehension concerning amateur seances.After but a few minutes, I decided to break the chain, because I dreaded the vibrations that were invading the room匢nstructionsInstructionsReturn to GameReturn to GameSave GameSave GameLoad GameLoad GameGame saved(cookies must be activated)okTimed game: Compete to be The Fastest Player!We keep track of your time as you play thegame.

Then, from the echoes of the vibration that shook the Universe when the hinges of the world opened and closed again forever, they created the Talisman.They named it "Yhe," in honor of the frightening cringe, blessed it with their power and hid it in a safe haven outside of Time. So that the race of Men would know of its existence and power, the New Gods brought a dream to an unknown scribe. And the scribe unconsciously penned the Book of Yhe, where it is written that the Talisman of Yhe has the power to enslave the Great Ancients - but that only one who enters its abode at the same moment in the past, present and future will be granted its protection. Lo, to reach the Talisman of Yhe, the ashes of the Book of Yhe must be taken to the Time where they belong. For the Book, like the Talisman, is eternal.otsTo be continued...Would you like to play the Timed version of the game ?YesNoWould you like to play again ?
