A Tricky Jump
The ghost of Count Orlock continued to play the organ, and Beef's group (Gil (from the Simpsons) and Abby) couldn't find any clues in the room, so he suggested they go check out the stone tower with the gargoyles. Gil seemed hesitant, and was proven correct when he failed to jump across the broken floor and fell down to the library, landing face-first on the wooden frame of a couch, breaking his nose. Beef shouted down that they'd take the stairs down to meet up with Gil, but then he and Abby both slipped and fell in, with Beef landing badly enough he broke his leg.
Abby was fine, having landed on the cushioned part of a couch, and they took in their surroundings. A fire blazed in a brick fireplace on one wall, and the other three were lined with shelves stocked full of books. They had landed on the only furniture in the room, the two couches, one of which had a newspaper open on it. There was also an open book on the floor in front of the fireplace.
Beef, able to limp around on his good leg, took a look at the newspaper and saw the headline "The Dreadful Murder of Count Orlock". Figuring it might have some clues, he sat down to read the article. It stated that the Count had been killed on the top floor of the mansion, and that the murderer was still at large. Beef also grabbed the open book (an encyclopedia, it turned out), and stashed it for possible future use, then headed out to take the stairs back up to the second floor.
