Looks like they're closed and locked...
NOTE:
Bandits loved to live in the dark.
NOTE:
No way I can get through there... They look solidly sealed.
NOTE:
Yeah, that could help to open it!... If I could reach it.
NOTE:
No matter how hard I try to stretch my arms, it's still out of reach!
NOTE:
No wonder! Anyone would go crazy without TV in an isolated place like this.
NOTE:
I have a better idea. Let's go up to the roof first.
NOTE:
I have an even better idea! Let's not.
NOTE:
Some white spots... Hmmm...
NOTE:
Whipped cream, probably?
NOTE:
Nope... not whipped cream.
NOTE:
There you go. I rubbed it on that white spot. Not sure why, though.
NOTE:
So this is their hideout? Not too shabby!
NOTE:
Alright. The plan is... Locate the tablets, get them, and... run as fast as possible!
NOTE:
I spent at least fifteen minutes walking through the desert to get here!
NOTE:
I'm not leaving until I get my hands on those tablets!
NOTE:
When it's all over, will I be able to get out of here on my own two feet?
NOTE:
I don't like the feeling of black trash bags covering my body.
NOTE:
I could run away as fast as I can... And actually, I'm an inch away from doing that.
NOTE:
But... the world needs a hero!
NOTE:
...Yeah, I realized that didn't seem credible while I was saying it.
NOTE:
... Why did I do that again?
NOTE:
Oh, gosh. Someone's coming! Maybe I should hide while I still can...
NOTE:
No! I came all the way here, I'm going to confront them!
NOTE:
Hey! Are you coming or what? I'm ready!
NOTE:
Hello? BAD GUYS! COME HERE!
NOTE:
It's you?! (Draws gun)
NOTE:
Yeah, you're right! It's me!
NOTE:
Hey!!! Talk about a welcome... Urgh.
NOTE:
Quick! Behind that crate!
NOTE:
No one's coming? What a disappointment.
NOTE:
Oops... I forgot. This is probably a bad idea.
NOTE:
No, that wouldn't fit in the keyhole.
NOTE:
Oh, nevermind. I thought this was a real dead hand stuffed here.
NOTE:
After all, that wouldn't be so surprising... This place has probably seen a few dead bodies.
NOTE:
Looks like wood... treated against water, I guess.
NOTE:
Those fingers are quite long!
NOTE:
Though I'd rather not know where they might have shoved themselves.
NOTE:
Good idea... Wrong tool. That wood is solid! It would take me a billion year to cut the fingers with that...
NOTE:
Why not? I feel like a surgeon right now!
NOTE:
See? Perfect! The patient didn't even scream!
NOTE:
Eww... Where am I going to stick these oversized fingers?!...
NOTE:
That's more like it!
NOTE:
No doubt about. This is a criminal hideout!
NOTE:
I'm not giving that away! Who knows who this hand belongs to.
NOTE:
And I thought this was a dry country...
NOTE:
I'm guessing this is their private source of water.
NOTE:
Criminals with good taste!
NOTE:
Usually we throw in coins... Not random objects.
NOTE:
A bucket... What could I do with that?
NOTE:
Put it on the door, so it falls on their head when opened?
NOTE:
Nah, that wouldn't be enough to knock them out...
NOTE:
I've run out of ideas.
NOTE:
Ah, I know! There's something else I could do with it.
NOTE:
Wait a minute. Did I really come here to water their plants?
NOTE:
Maybe I could attack them with the bucket? It's pretty hard!
NOTE:
Or... Use it as a shield?
NOTE:
Plenty of terrrible uses!
NOTE:
I've got an idea! Why not use it as a chamber pot?
NOTE:
...This time, I've REALLY run out of ideas.
NOTE:
There you go! In the bucket.
NOTE:
Actually, I'll take that back...
NOTE:
Oh, sure! I'll climb this ladder and watch them from above! Perfect plan!
NOTE:
One problem... The ladder is a wreck. And I'm afraid of heights.
NOTE:
Several rungs are missing.
NOTE:
Phew! What a relief. I couldn't climb it, even if I wanted to!
NOTE:
I... guess I could try...
NOTE:
Do I have a reason to go up on the roof? What's up there?
NOTE:
That's crazy. How am I supposed to climb this?! It's way too high!
NOTE:
And some rungs are missing!
NOTE:
(Sigh) One problem at a time. I need to fix the ladder, first.
NOTE:
Hmmm... Nope. There are way too many missing rungs to climb it.
NOTE:
I'll have to replace them... I don't have any other ideas.
NOTE:
Uh... Do I have a reason to climb that?
NOTE:
Actually, I don't even know why I fixed the ladder. I need a plan, first.
NOTE:
This is... the only solution...
NOTE:
Oh, gosh. I have shivers just thinking about it.
NOTE:
Come on, Bjorn! He said the world is in danger! Being afraid of heights is the least of my problems!
NOTE:
Alright. Everything's fine. Be calm.
NOTE:
It's hard to climb... with all these things... in my pockets and in my...
NOTE:
Oh gosh. This is high.
NOTE:
And I've only three rungs up.
NOTE:
...I'll just close my eyes...
NOTE:
...Almost at the top... I think...
NOTE:
Mmm... They're a bit too long.
NOTE:
Let's plane this little finger here...
NOTE:
Cut the forefinger...
NOTE:
Seems steady! Perfect!
NOTE:
And if it doesn't hold, the fall won't be very high...
NOTE:
So destroy the ladder and then... I'll fix it? Yeah, right...
NOTE:
That doesn't fit for replacing the bars! Darn!
NOTE:
I can't! This must be...
NOTE:
Cool! I guess thieves don't really worry about burglars.
NOTE:
Isn't there... something stuck, between the seats?
NOTE:
Ouch! Yes... A pair of shears.
NOTE:
Kinda dangerous to drive with these on the seat, if you ask me...
NOTE:
This crate seems interesting...
NOTE:
There's no label on it. What's inside?
NOTE:
I'm curious! Is there any way to open it?
NOTE:
Nggghhgh... A little on this side...
NOTE:
So much for being discreet...
NOTE:
Hey, what's this?...
NOTE:
There are several red things... with a displays... and fuses.
NOTE:
Yup. These totally look like...
NOTE:
No way! I'm not gonna walk around with a bomb in my pants!
NOTE:
...And I don't have anything else with enough space to store it!
NOTE:
No idea why, but I don't feel very safe...
NOTE:
Better stay away from that crate... VERY far away.
NOTE:
No, no, no... Bad plan. Too dangerous.
NOTE:
As surprising as it sounds, I've never played with bombs! They'd blow up in my face!
NOTE:
And no, I wouldn't just end up with smoke and dust on my face like in cartoons!
NOTE:
I said NO. I'd probably blow the whole place up if I laid a finger on one.
NOTE:
Let's try a plan that doesn't involve exploding...
NOTE:
Too late, I can't undo that!
NOTE:
It's not burning... It must be fireproof for some reason.
NOTE:
Use the lighter on a crate full of bombs?
NOTE:
Of course! To attract the bandits!
NOTE:
Too bad I'd blow up in the process.
NOTE:
Hmmm... Nope, putting it on the crate doesn't help open it.
NOTE:
Pretty cool! I can put my hand in it, and it doesn't bite!
NOTE:
I'm not thirsty. Now, if this was a beer fountain...
NOTE:
These bandits should really up their ambitions.
NOTE:
Hey, no! What if it ate it?!
NOTE:
Looks like an encrusted jewel...
NOTE:
Weird. I thought I could turn it, but I can't! It's fixed.
NOTE:
Ngghhh... Will you... turn... Gah!
NOTE:
I don't get it! What about the arrows?
NOTE:
That should mean they can be turned, so why can't I?
NOTE:
Or maybe they're just there for artistic purposes.
NOTE:
In which case, the artist just cost me five minutes of my life.
NOTE:
I shouldn't waste my time trying objects on this.
NOTE:
What's inside? Hmmm...
NOTE:
There are some crates like the one on the ground over there.
NOTE:
It'd be easier to open that other crate. I can't get around the ones in here.
NOTE:
Aside that, nothing in particular.
NOTE:
Hey, wait... I found a clue!
NOTE:
There are footsteps! So people have walked here!
NOTE:
Amazing reasoning, huh? I could be a detective!
NOTE:
I'm not in the mood for exploding trucks, at the moment.
NOTE:
No need for a truck. I can carry it myself!
NOTE:
There's a chimney? That's interesting...
NOTE:
But it seems so small. How can Santa get through there?
NOTE:
They're criminals. They never get presents!
NOTE:
Hmmm... There's a chimney on the roof...
NOTE:
Eureka! I know how to get the tablets back!
NOTE:
I still have the sleeping drug I gave to the sorcerer.
NOTE:
I just have to climb up to the roof and find a way to get it into the air from the chimney!
NOTE:
The two thugs will fall asleep. After that, I'll grab the tablets and scoot!
NOTE:
Whoa, I feel like my brain is overheating! Better act fast, before I forget...
NOTE:
...Erm... There's just one tiny problem...
NOTE:
How will I get up to the roof?!
NOTE:
My plan seems great, except for the "getting to the roof" part...
NOTE:
But I'm going with it. I can't think of anything else...
NOTE:
...that wouldn't get me killed, I mean.
NOTE:
Let's go up on the roof first!
NOTE:
...I can't believe I said that.
NOTE:
Hey! Looks like my "friends" are in there!
NOTE:
I can hear them from here...
NOTE:
...you dare come here, uninvited?!
NOTE:
And this is what you're bringing us?! A stupid vase?!
NOTE:
What do you expect from us?! What makes you think we're interested?!
NOTE:
Listen carefully, you hot-tempered westerner.
NOTE:
I have my sources. I know you're searching for the five plates from the Demetrios prophecy.
NOTE:
And this vase has crucial writing on it.
NOTE:
But this is the ancient Nogoyan language. Many other pieces have such writings on them too.
NOTE:
You need me. Someone who can read old Nogoyan.
NOTE:
Funny! He screamed like girl!
NOTE:
Yeah. It'll be less fun to bury him though.
NOTE:
Thankfully, you didn't give him time to draw it. Good job!
NOTE:
He was a threat. And we don't need him. The boss can read old Nogoyan perfectly.
NOTE:
That man knew our location and our goals.
NOTE:
I think we have Phalos to thank for that.
NOTE:
The bastard scattered mics everywhere! I found five more today.
NOTE:
About that, I need to call the boss.
NOTE:
Close the curtains. I hate the sun on my face.
NOTE:
And who knows if someone's spying on us from out there?!
NOTE:
They didn't notice me... Phew.
NOTE:
I can't believe what they did to that poor man! After all, he helped me...
NOTE:
...right before he tried to murder me.
NOTE:
And asked me to kill someone else.
NOTE:
Nevermind, he deserved that.
NOTE:
Hmmm... I can't see them anymore, but I can still hear them...
NOTE:
(On the phone) ...don't worry, boss. The place is safe again.
NOTE:
I looked everywhere and destroyed all the mics.
NOTE:
Phalos has been playing with us for way too long. Don't you think we should get rid of him?
NOTE:
I know, I know. You're right.
NOTE:
In that case, we'll wait 'til the last minute.
NOTE:
Really?! You located one of the last two tablets?!
NOTE:
OK, I'll write it down. Just a second.
NOTE:
...The Count of Vitocks... in his coffin... in Germany.
NOTE:
...Munchner Strasse 5, Munchen... Is that the city?
NOTE:
OK. Who should we send?
NOTE:
But boss! I can't go! My sister's wedding is tomorrow!
NOTE:
You should know, I asked for the day off! You said yes!
NOTE:
Yeah, I know... Alain is too dumb for that mission.
NOTE:
No problem! I'll go Friday!
NOTE:
Thank you, boss! You're the greatest!
NOTE:
Yes, of course. I'll brush my teeth, don't worry.
NOTE:
Alain, I'm gonna watch TV for a while. I don't want to miss the finale! So can you...
NOTE:
I know! I keep watch!
NOTE:
Thanks. You're a pal.
NOTE:
I wrote down that address.
NOTE:
Now I hear TV commercials. He must have turned it on.
NOTE:
Alright... The situation is a bit clearer...
NOTE:
There are two of them. (Excluding the corpse, of course.)
NOTE:
No way I could take them. They've got guns AND muscles!
NOTE:
But I have my... Err...
NOTE:
I need a plan... Something subtle...
NOTE:
Maybe I should look around the surroundings. See if I can get an idea...
NOTE:
Nope. The TV is too far, I won't be able to catch the finale! Darn!
NOTE:
I need a plan to get the tablets back...
NOTE:
Let's check the scene!
NOTE:
Phew! They didn't hear me. Why did I do that?!
NOTE:
A letter? Must be important! Let's see...
NOTE:
"Congratulations! You've won a lot of money in the international lottery!"
NOTE:
"Totally legit! Send us your 100 euro processing fee to claim your prize!"
NOTE:
Pft... I can't believe it!
NOTE:
Of course criminals would be the ones to get so lucky.
NOTE:
I can see "PERSONAL" written on the envelope.
NOTE:
Darn it! I can't get the money!
NOTE:
Nah. I never put gloves on.
NOTE:
What's the point? When you have a brain, you don't need gloves!
NOTE:
Why? I never wear gloves! I'm always very careful.
NOTE:
That way, I don't have to wash my hands either. Or smell them.
NOTE:
Darn! It won't fit in the glove! How come?
NOTE:
Look at me! I'm driving! Without a licence!
NOTE:
I'm such a daredevil!
NOTE:
Nah, better not... Even parked, I might have an accident.
NOTE:
How thoughtful! The bad guys aren't so bad after all!
NOTE:
I don't need it right now.
NOTE:
But when I do, I'll remember it's here!
NOTE:
Does that really need to be wiped off?
NOTE:
A weird stick. There are numbers on it. 1... 2... 3... 4...
NOTE:
Hmmm... mysterious.
NOTE:
Does this thing move?
NOTE:
It's hard, but yes... Doesn't seem to do anything, though.
NOTE:
If only I knew someone with a driver's licence!
NOTE:
Seat belts remind me of crash test dummies...
NOTE:
They make them crash without seat belts. Atrocious!
NOTE:
OK... I've fastened my seat belt.
NOTE:
It's very comfortable.
NOTE:
I don't know... I was kinda expecting something to happen. What a disappointment.
NOTE:
Cool, a lever! I wonder what it's for.
NOTE:
Weird... I don't feel like touching it for some reason.
NOTE:
...Wow! The scenery is moving now!
NOTE:
It's like we're going backwards or something! Amazing!
NOTE:
Hmmm... Now that I think about it... Isn't this lever also called...
NOTE:
No way! I saw someone crash a car just by pushing that.
NOTE:
Hmmm... I've heard smugglers often hide things in the seats.
NOTE:
Maybe I should check!
NOTE:
I'd need to get at the stuffing. But how?
NOTE:
Ah ha! I knew it! I found... stuffing!
NOTE:
...Uh? No money? No illegal substances? Not even an old sandwich?!
NOTE:
What a waste of time.
NOTE:
Some rats with razor-sharp teeth have eaten the seats!
NOTE:
Can't see any other explanation.
NOTE:
Yeah, I make mistakes... but not often!
NOTE:
Some chocolate?... What a waste!
NOTE:
Err... That... wasn't... chocolate...
NOTE:
Kids, remember to smell before eating something like that !...
NOTE:
What a shame! The truck rolled over that cookie!
NOTE:
A well-hidden cookie... Was it in the crate?
NOTE:
I should always pay attention to the walls! I usually find cookies on them.
NOTE:
