When starting on a new room, Elena had been pleased to see a massive Victorian desk. She knew it was the kind that had sectret compartments worked into its design. After hunting half a day, pressing at carvings, twisting knobs, feeling underneath for latches, she'd eventually located a sliding panel behind which was a hole sized to admit one finger. She'd shoved her finger in, depressing a spring latch which released a tiny door. Prizing it open with her nails, she'd discovered it held a small roll of pages, twenty in all, crinkly old sheets covered with brown fountain pen scratches (<i>Hooray for India ink,</i> Elena thought.) A letter? Examining the pile of foolscap she was astonished to find it was the manuscript of an unpublished short story by M.R. James entitled "Where Moonlight Holds Court". | ||

<span style="font-family:Goudy Old Style;color:#008080;font-size:large">She has been lucky, though. Her relentless searching paid off when she found the legendary ''Eye of Vision'', a palm-sized sterling silver talisman. It was said to confer the ability to project the wielder's astral body at will. Unfortunately, the object of power didn't come with instructions. But if she could master its use, Elena knows she would be able to travel Malton as she pleased, safe and free to discover what was going on all over the city. It would be good to see what was happening at Miskatonic University and other far-flung locations. Knowledge is indeed power.<br> | |||
<font color | <span style="font-family:Goudy Old Style;color:#008080;font-size:large">Elena has also discovered evidence that Aleister Curton possessed another magical artifact, known as ''The Hand That Seeks''. It is fabled to be an object that confers the ability to find lost and hidden things, effectively turning the user into a dowser-diviner while wielding the talisman. She has no idea what its effective range might be, if it has any limitations. She imagines a scenario where the mage might be able to use a pendulum and map in order to narrow down the general locale where a sought-after object in a far location could be found. | ||
