74,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_GODBERT_000_081","I was in the area on a matter of business, which I curtailed when I felt a suspicious presence from the shadows. Pursuing it led me here─mayhap it is the same for you?"
75,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_GODBERT_000_082","Oho! So your pursuit of the thief of many faces has taken quite the unexpected turn. And now you have come upon a series of anonymous letters?"
76,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_GODBERT_000_083","Mayhap our watcher in the shadows is a friend? Or is this but another trap laid by the fiend? Yes, the plot thickens like a dollop of salamander oil."
77,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_GODBERT_000_084","In either event, I daresay the circumstances call for utmost caution. The thief could be anywhere─or anyone. Myself excluded, of course─no mere mask could replicate the physique of this Manderville man!"
78,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_GODBERT_000_085","That said, I fear my dear Hildy may be in a bit over his head this time. Allow me to assist in your investigation. Were anything to happen to Hildibrand, his dear mother would, ah...not be pleased."
79,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_GODBERT_000_150","If the sender speaks true, the villain even now lurks within our midst. And yet, we have but a single sachet of demasking dust at our disposal. We must identify the impostor beyond reasonable doubt before we proceed."
80,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_GODBERT_000_151","You know the players better than I, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. What say you have a few words with each of them, and see if aught seems amiss?"

82,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_BRIARDIEN_000_200","Miss Ellie is the phantom thief. It is the only logical conclusion. And yet, I cannot help but feel that another truth still evades us..."
83,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_210","Inspector Briardien told me all about it! Who'd have thunk Miss Ellie was the phantom thief all this time? She sure fooled me!"
84,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_PHILLICE_000_220","Am I doomed to share the same fate as the others? I'd sooner die than become one of those...things..."

86,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_BRIARDIEN_000_235","It makes no sense. There must be something we're missing..."
87,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_240","The inspector sure is taking his time..."
88,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_PHILLICE_000_245","Too much has happened in too short a span. I need more time to make sense of it all, but time is something we do not have..."
89,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_GODBERT_000_300","Nothing particularly odd about any of them, you say? It stands to reason. The fiend would not take such a risk if he were not utterly confident that he could pull off the ruse."
90,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_CECY_000_301","(-???-)Curses! This one's not half the fool his son is. I must elude him, and quickly─time is of the essence."
91,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_HILDIBRAND_000_302","I questioned the Sultansworn outside. To a man, they insist they have seen naught of Miss Ellie. Wherever could she have gone?"
92,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_HILDIBRAND_100_302","F-Father! What brings you here!?"
93,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_BRIARDIEN_000_303","Yes, finally the pieces are coming together. Now, if you would kindly stand still and shut up. The fiend already stands among us."
94,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_HILDIBRAND_000_304","I-Inspector Briardien! I should hope you are not doubting <Emphasis>me</Emphasis>!?"
95,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_BRIARDIEN_000_305","While I'm quite convinced that even a master impersonator would struggle to recreate your particular brand of idiocy, the fact remains that anyone here who has spent even a moment alone must be considered a suspect. The thief has proven to be highly efficient at assuming new identities."
96,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_GODBERT_000_306","An astute observation, my gangly friend. I'd say this occasion calls for a dose or two of that powder <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> here found earlier. There wouldn't happen to be another sachet or two lying about, would there?"
97,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_PHILLICE_000_307","What remains of our supply has already been distributed to the search party, but worry not. They should be reporting back within a bell's time."
98,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_CECY_000_308","(-???-)Hah! Time might be against me, but just you watch. I'll wiggle my way out of this and turn you into the reeking, drooling corpse you deserve to be."
99,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_HILDIBRAND_000_309","I fear that is more time than we can afford, Miss Phillice. Fortunately, my powers of deduction will lay the fiend's face bare within minutes."
100,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_HILDIBRAND_000_310","We know that, given the choice, the thief prefers to impersonate familiar personages. As Miss Ellie has had only passing interactions with my dear father, we can safely eliminate him from consideration."
101,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_HILDIBRAND_000_311","That leaves myself, Nashu, and <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> here. Nashu and I, in particular, have had a close and extended relationship with our suspect. I shall begin by questioning mine own assistant. I assure you that none know her better than I!"
102,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_CECY_000_312","Brilliant reasoning as ever, Inspector! Go on, ask me anything!"
103,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_CECY_000_313","(-???-)Of all the times for this overstuffed buffoon to start talking sense! If he asks me anything too obscure, my cover is as good as blown..."
104,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_HILDIBRAND_000_314","My relationship with Nashu is so close, I daresay at times it is as if we share a mind. If this Nashu is truly my ever-loyal assistant, she should have no trouble completing my thoughts. Ahem! I'm a Mander-Mander-Manderville...?"
105,"TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_CECY_000_315","...man!♪"

5 1 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_SEQ_01 Undaunted in the face of recent developments, Hildibrand is convinced he might still persuade his erstwhile companion Miss Ellie from pursuing the consummation of her criminal plans. Meanwhile, after sending her men out in pursuit of the escaped thief, Phillice of the Sultansworn confesses that she is the last of the Arbiters of Truth─the thief's final target─and states her intention to go into hiding so as not to place any more lives in danger. Hildibrand assures her that he has the situation entirely under control, and promptly enlists your aid in canvassing the area for any suspicious individuals. Begin your search at the Hustings Strip.
6 2 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_SEQ_02 You come upon an anonymous letter urging you─or whomever it was intended for─to exercise extreme caution. Continue your search of the halls of the Hustings Strip.
7 3 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_SEQ_03 You come upon a second letter, this one a warning that even your closest companions are not to be trusted. A hint from an unknown ally, or a snare laid by your quarry? More evidence is necessary to evaluate the situation. Continue to scour the halls of the Hustings Strip to see what other clues might be had.
8 4 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_SEQ_04 No sooner do you come upon a third letter, this time accompanied by a sachet of demasking dust, than you are greeted from behind by none other than Godbert Manderville, father of Hildibrand and goldsmith extraordinaire. The Hammer─as he is known─eagerly offers his assistance in the pursuit of the thief, in part out of concern for his son's well-being and in part out of concern for his own. From his words, it would appear that Hildibrand's mother is also a force to be reckoned with. Return to the royal vault and see what Godbert has deduced about the current state of affairs.
9 5 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_SEQ_05 Godbert surmises that the thief may already have assumed the identity of one of your companions. Speak with Briardien, Nashu, and Phillice, and be especially on the lookout for any uncharacteristic reactions or behavior.
10 6 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_SEQ_06 Your questioning of Briardien, Nashu, and Phillice revealed nothing of particular interest─it would appear that the thief will not be so easily unmasked. Consult once again with Godbert to hammer out your next plan of action.
11 7 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_SEQ_07 Despite Hildibrand's best efforts, the thief blows her cover when the typically good-natured-to-a-fault Nashu snaps at her beloved inspector for an offhand comment about her facial complexion. You move swiftly to unmask the faux-Nashu, revealing─to the surprise of all─not Miss Ellie, but an unfamiliar woman's face. It would appear there is yet more to this case than anyone suspected...

82 78 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_GODBERT_000_085 That said, I fear my dear Hildy may be in a bit over his head this time. Allow me to assist in your investigation. Were anything to happen to Hildibrand, his dear mother would, ah...not be pleased.
83 79 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_GODBERT_000_150 If the sender speaks true, the villain even now lurks within our midst. And yet, we have but a single sachet of demasking dust at our disposal. We must identify the impostor beyond reasonable doubt before we proceed.
84 80 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_GODBERT_000_151 You know the players better than I, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. What say you have a few words with each of them, and see if aught seems amiss?
85 81 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_GODBERT_000_160 You know the players better than I, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. What say you have a few words with each of them, and see if aught seems amiss?
86 82 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_BRIARDIEN_000_200 Miss Ellie is the phantom thief. It is the only logical conclusion. And yet, I cannot help but feel that another truth still evades us...
87 83 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_210 Inspector Briardien told me all about it! Who'd have thunk Miss Ellie was the phantom thief all this time? She sure fooled me!
88 84 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_PHILLICE_000_220 Am I doomed to share the same fate as the others? I'd sooner die than become one of those...things...
89 85 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_OKKAKE_000_230 Something just isn't...right...
90 86 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_BRIARDIEN_000_235 It makes no sense. There must be something we're missing...
91 87 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_240 The inspector sure is taking his time...
92 88 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_PHILLICE_000_245 Too much has happened in too short a span. I need more time to make sense of it all, but time is something we do not have...
93 89 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_GODBERT_000_300 Nothing particularly odd about any of them, you say? It stands to reason. The fiend would not take such a risk if he were not utterly confident that he could pull off the ruse.
94 90 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_CECY_000_301 (-???-)Curses! This one's not half the fool his son is. I must elude him, and quickly─time is of the essence.
95 91 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_HILDIBRAND_000_302 I questioned the Sultansworn outside. To a man, they insist they have seen naught of Miss Ellie. Wherever could she have gone?
96 92 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_HILDIBRAND_100_302 F-Father! What brings you here!?
97 93 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_BRIARDIEN_000_303 Yes, finally the pieces are coming together. Now, if you would kindly stand still and shut up. The fiend already stands among us.
98 94 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_HILDIBRAND_000_304 I-Inspector Briardien! I should hope you are not doubting <Emphasis>me</Emphasis>!?
99 95 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_BRIARDIEN_000_305 While I'm quite convinced that even a master impersonator would struggle to recreate your particular brand of idiocy, the fact remains that anyone here who has spent even a moment alone must be considered a suspect. The thief has proven to be highly efficient at assuming new identities.
100 96 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_GODBERT_000_306 An astute observation, my gangly friend. I'd say this occasion calls for a dose or two of that powder <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> here found earlier. There wouldn't happen to be another sachet or two lying about, would there?
101 97 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_PHILLICE_000_307 What remains of our supply has already been distributed to the search party, but worry not. They should be reporting back within a bell's time.
102 98 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_CECY_000_308 (-???-)Hah! Time might be against me, but just you watch. I'll wiggle my way out of this and turn you into the reeking, drooling corpse you deserve to be.
103 99 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_HILDIBRAND_000_309 I fear that is more time than we can afford, Miss Phillice. Fortunately, my powers of deduction will lay the fiend's face bare within minutes.
104 100 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_HILDIBRAND_000_310 We know that, given the choice, the thief prefers to impersonate familiar personages. As Miss Ellie has had only passing interactions with my dear father, we can safely eliminate him from consideration.
105 101 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_HILDIBRAND_000_311 That leaves myself, Nashu, and <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> here. Nashu and I, in particular, have had a close and extended relationship with our suspect. I shall begin by questioning mine own assistant. I assure you that none know her better than I!
106 102 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_CECY_000_312 Brilliant reasoning as ever, Inspector! Go on, ask me anything!
107 103 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_CECY_000_313 (-???-)Of all the times for this overstuffed buffoon to start talking sense! If he asks me anything too obscure, my cover is as good as blown...
108 104 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_HILDIBRAND_000_314 My relationship with Nashu is so close, I daresay at times it is as if we share a mind. If this Nashu is truly my ever-loyal assistant, she should have no trouble completing my thoughts. Ahem! I'm a Mander-Mander-Manderville...?

114 110 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_HILDIBRAND_000_320 A perfect score! You may rest easy, dear friends. This is unmistakably, unequivocally, indubitably the true Nashu!
115 111 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_CECY_000_321 (-???-)I've never loved you more than now, you marvelous muttonhead, you!
116 112 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_HILDIBRAND_000_322 Nashu? Is something the matter?
117 113 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_HILDIBRAND_000_323 Just because you've picked up a few more wrinkles beneath the eyes, there's no need to avert that charming face of yours.
118 114 TEXT_CHRHDB503_00492_CECY_000_324 Wrinkles? Wrinkles!? Look who's talking, you crusty, cretinous old─
