Invisiclues

Where is Lafond's room?

1. It is through the door in the north wall of the upstairs east hallway.
2. It is also the only room on the second story with a window facing seaward.

How can I escape Lafond's clutches? I'm in his room, helpless and terrified.

1. DRINK THE WINE whenever Lafond tells you to.
2. Make sure there's nothing in the wine you drink, however.
3. Ever hear the ditty, "The pellet of the poison's in the chalice from the palace,/ The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true"?
4. POUR WINE INTO THE GREEN GOBLET. Then put something else into it.
5. SQUEEZE LAUDANUM INTO THE GREEN GOBLET. When Lafond is busy on the other side of the room, obviously.
6. But Lafond knows you're doing something! So double-cross the devious dog!
7. Lafond realizes that you've tampered with at least one of the glasses, so he pretends to have forgotten which is his. If you type YES to his question (If the green goblet is his?) then he'll assume you poisoned that glass, since you want him to drink from it. If you type NO, then he'll assume you drugged the other (blue glass). Then, being the cruel tyrant he is, he'll force you to drink from whichever glass you indicate is his. Of course, if you lie...
8. When Lafond asks if the green goblet is his, type NO if you have put the laudanum in it. (If you've drugged the blue goblet, type YES.) Then, when he forces you to drink the wine you indicated, imbibe "the brew that is true." This leaves the poisoned wine for...
9. The butler, not Lafond, unfortunately. So, it doesn't quite work the way you planned; at least the butler is taken care of.

The butler is napping in the hall, but I can't stop Lafond from pawing me!

1. This is a spicy puzzle.
2. Have you thoroughly examined the chicken and spices?
3. The spices are dry. Have you tasted or smelled them?
4. They are HOT!
5. TAKE THE PEPPER THEN BLOW THE PEPPER AT LAFOND.

I've gotten rid of Lafond, but the butler won't let me leave the room!

1. SQUEEZE THE LAUDANUM into one of the goblets, then POUR THE WINE into that goblet.
2. WALK SOUTH. The butler will think you're trying to escape, and follow you back into the room.
3. GIVE THE (drugged) GOBLET TO THE BUTLER. No thug is above a little wine.
4. WAIT. WAIT. WAIT. It takes a little while for the drug to take effect.
5. Don't waste any time, however. Lafond will be back soon!

I've made it out of Lafond's room, but he catches me afterwards!

1. In such situations, one should get some outside help.
2. Cookie and the crew aboard Jamison's ship might provide some assistance.
3. Signal the ship from an eastward-looking window.
4. Wave the mirror in the moonbeam shining through the window of Lafond's room. The pirates will respond.
5. If you've lost the mirror, you can use the silver tray.
