A uniquely modern fashioned gaming room, the Rumpus
Room has provided many guests of the estate with
countless hours of recreation. The room is outfitted with a
record player, two television sets, a collection of board
games and a mysterious antique fortune telling automaton
named "Alzara".

1
I see a boy,
a boy standing on a shore of white sand.
He is looking for something...
...something he was told he would not find.
I see a black cat tied to a red flag.
I hear the wind blowing
but the flag does not stir.
I see...
a door marked by a rogue moon.
A door that is always locked,
yet has no key...
It is the door you have been searching for,
yet, will not find.
A lost room beyond the dark waters...
2
I see a darkened cloud of ruin,
familiar to us both,
now decrepit, rundown and in disrepair.
I see eight red envelopes
resting upon eight pedestals.
And in these eight envelopes
I see eight letters penned by eight different hands.
Eight letters of which you will only ever find and read
seven.
Just like the art hanging on the walls of these rooms,
there is a letter missing...
3
Yes...
... the fog is clearing.
I see a shadow in the doorway.
Silent footsteps in the hallways...
An unlatched gate, you did not open...
A missing item, you did not take...
I see a young boy watched from afar,
a young boy who once was brave,
but now...
...afraid.
4
I hear the pattering steps of children
running in the forest.
The joyful echoes of laughter in the courtyard.
I see an old man
an old man sitting in an even older chair.
A seat that has served many generations,
each with their own stories...
each with their own secrets...
each with their own endings.
But all...
...in the same chair.
5
Faintly in the mist...
I see a figure.
A statue cradled in a courtyard of sentinel stone.
You will find yourself one day wandering these paths.
Walk in the footsteps of the past,
wandering...
... and waiting.
Searching for a shadow that will never be cast.
Longing for the day to end...
...the hours to pass.
6
In the dim,
I see cavern walls of stone...
A hollow, lit by a sea of a thousand burning stars...
I see a treasure, buried beneath the cliff rocks...
A black mirror, hidden...
...among the memories of the falling sands.
And within the black mirror...
I see a figure...
...a figure standing in sullen snow.
All of what I have told you my young baron,
I wish you to now know.
