Careful, they'll expect you to give them presents... well, maybe not Araches.


I wouldn't think Pandora would be disliking the invisible gremlins... seeing as she had given the Trading Post several of her things (as part of this grand puzzle). And no matter how much you like cars, what use are car keys without any "Summon Car" buttons on them if you're about to die?
It looks like a suicide, which works nicely with the fact she seemed to die right after the puzzle got set up. Either that, or a fake Pandora's Skeleton...
(Look suspiciously at Araches)
How long ago did Pandora die (if she did)? Long enough for there to be a skeleton, but not long enough for the Trading Post to trade away all of her things. Of course, some things may have been traded... the island seems a center of unusual activity (Acid and Spazzyman battling to the death, for example). Could someone else be trying to solve Pandora's Puzzle?
This theory has strength lent to it by the fact at least two people seem to have been on the island fairly recently, besides your party. The clone in the car, and whoever put wax in the keyhole. And why did Araches and the other gay magician (should find out who that was sometime) happen to be right nearby the island?
For that matter, if they were on the same boat, why did Araches want you to defeat the other one? Rival Puzzle Solvers? This could explain why she was quite willing to come along.
Or Araches could be Pandora. She has a mind of 80%, and Radium won't give out her actual age. Which doesn't mean too much, as there's no actual evidence Pandora 'died' too long ago... the skeleton could easily be a plant. Your knowledge of who Pandora was all comes from Araches (who said Pandora was hot... ego pumping?), who could easily be misleading you.
But why? What would the motive be? Is Pandora/Araches still in the process of creating the puzzle, and using you three as unknowing assistants?
(Unknowing? Fawriel has had a while with Araches without being watched, and appeared rather out of nowhere himself. Is there any evidence this "Blackraptor" exists? Just a dream and Faw's confused word... and seeing as you all know something about berries, was Faw trying to get you and L33tz4n out of the way with the Nocake?)
Or of course, Araches might simply be creating this elaborate deception to remove her enemies... you've already defeated this Clone person, who was waxlocked in by an unknown person (which could be Araches/Pandora herself... is that how he got her shoe? They were fighting?), and this other gay magician Araches seems not to have liked. And Acid and Spazzyman, both of whom seem to have at least a little magic, died.

I am, by the way, quite willing to believe any of the above is wrong, assuming there's a reason for it to be. Most of it is just idle speculation, and contradicts itself anyway. But I don't trust Araches.


Page claim for L33tz4n.
