Wait! Where did that come from?
That is not what I meant to say.
GRR!Progress Report.
The roof is finished.
The masons continue on the outside.
The plumbers will finish today.
The electricians have started.
It's absolutely fine, daughter, and thank you for the reports as always.
During my search of the forgotten levels of the crypt, I found this and this.
Because of there being so many of the latter, I will take most of them and give you one of the spares.

Fair enough, I myself do not use such minions very much either.
Aside from zombies, ghosts and ghouls, I prefer intelligent undead such as the Baobhan Sith.

No, "Deathtrap" Duncan was a notorious prankster known for his lethal and puzzling "jokes".
Hence why, he gave himself the nickname of "Deathtrap" (he was inspired by the infamous Deathtrap Dungeon).
While Forrest O'Doom (no connection to Darkwood Forest, the actual Forest of Doom) was a petty baron from Khul.
They have since died, Deathtrap Duncan met his end (ironically) in Deathtrap Dungeon.
And Forrest O'Doom was victim to a mine collapse whilst searching for gold to improve his status.

What about the very well-upholstered Karen 'Settee' Porter-Trapps?

I'll take the Baobhan Sith.
She will be a great guard in my vault.Progress Report.
The electricians are finished.
The gas & heating and air crews finished the first floor and should wrap up everything tomorrow.
As soon as the building inspector gets here, the insulators will start.
Most exciting, please help yourself to my private larder, daughter.
If anyone deserves to enjoy sampling my personal food stash, it's you.

If you want superior quality insulation - fast, I can put my mind to shedding a bit sooner. £4 per 20.5 litre sack, how's that?
I'll pay you £160 for 1.25 litres of hair you are able to shed.
Comte de Malodor used all his pillow stuffing fighting Sir Limey De Longears.
And I said that I would help him to replace all the pillow stuffing. -_-

Also no, as she was a well-known halfling "entertainer". She took her own life after taking Comte de Malodor as a client.

Progress Report.
All the gas and heating work has finished.
The inspector has arrived and approved everything.
The insulators have started.
Everything should be insulated by tonight.
The masons will start putting up the interior walls tomorrow.
Father, I have to be elsewhere tomorrow. Would you please make sure a live cat is entombed in one of the walls. Can't neglect the good luck talisman.
Also, when the contractor said it would take 14 days, I did not take into account them having Sundays off.
Thus the new wing will not be finished until Tuesday.

Hey, that's not true! Having it off with the ammunition is a bit far out even for me.

Fair enough daughter, you have done well, expect a big promotion when you return.

*Is especially cheerful this morning, opens the curtains and gets blinded by sun.*
What a lovely day! The weather is good and I'm going to enjoy myself!
*Gets dressed in the most fanciful attire.*
Today is my birthday! I can't remember how old I am now, but I do know that Jurassic Bard is now 32.
*Suddenly spots a man wearing a red and white striped jumper with matching bobble hat, blue jeans and glasses.*
Wally? What are you doing here?
*After wishing the count a happy birthday, Wally explains that he is going on another fantastic journey.*
Brilliant idea! And you say that you are going to 24 places instead of the usual 12, starting with my castle?
*Wally confirms this and says that he intends to go back to the Odlaw Swamp and a couple more old places.*
If that's the case, then I'll be the first of your eleven travelers!

Obviously, there's going to be 23 travellers (including me), not just 11.

Fret not, my dear lady, no offence was caused and I understand your confusion.
In any case, I will be leaving soon to join Wally on his Fantastic Journey, and I would like you to assist my daughter in managing the castle and surrounding areas. Is that OK with you? If not, I'll ask another.
Certainly - happy to help. I'll make sure Alphonse doesn't bother your maids, though it may be a good idea to electrify them too, just in case.

*Everyone receives a postcard entitled "Heydrich House Party!"*
Greetings, Wally Watchers, I'm off on another Fantastic Journey to find pieces of star fragments (there's 23 in total).
I'm beginning my journey here, at Heydrich Castle where Count Reiner Heydrich is celebrating his birthday!
Now, I won't be alone on my journey, I'll be joined by my good friends Wenda and Wizard Whitebeard, my dog woof (only his tail can be seen in this location), the dastardly Odlaw and a handful of wanderers. Try to find us in every scene and try and find the star fragments too!
Happy hunting,
Wally.
*The image shows the inside of the castle, where Count Reiner Heydrich is sitting at the head of a long table raising a glass of "red wine" to toast his guests in thanks (though the table can only seat so many, including Wally). The rest of the guests are millling about, partying, being silly and bothering either Pulg's Fairy Bands or Reiner's dragonmaids.*

Thank you for the title father.
I will wear it with pride.
Progress report.
The woodcrafters will be finished by noon.
All heating and air is being activated, all lights (both electric and gas) are ready for use, the water is running perfectly (cold, freezing, hot and boiling), and all electrical outlets have been rated so that multiple electrical torture devices can be used without blowing any circuit breakers.
The kitchen appliances, dining area furniture, bathroom fixtures, laundry (automatic and manual) and other sundry items are being installed today.
I decided to go with spartan easily stored bedroom furniture in case anyone wanted to decorate their room themselves (at their own expense).
Everything should be ready to move-in in the morning.
You can do the dedication first thing in the morning, then leave on your trip.

*After a few long hours, the servants' quarters are finally completed.*
I, Count Reiner Heydrich, hereby dedicate this new extension to honour the commitment of the workforce.
*Opens the door to the new wing, amid cheers and applause.*
Now, I must leave you, for I am going on a fantastic journey!
My daughter, Vampire Schism, will be left in charge.
Farewell, I shall return some day, keep an eye out for Wally's postcards!
*Transforms into a bat and flies away.*

Just for the record, everyone, I'll only be describing the scenes on the postcards along with revealing the location of Wally and the 23 travellers.
The rest of you get to decide where in the scene everyone else is (plus the star fragments) with double points being given if you get them interacting with the scene. You can even add a mystery follower (it has to be the same individual in each scene though). :-)
