1 Day Before The Guest Arrived..."You will never win!" Avilan shouted at the Puzzle Master. They both stood in the center of town. The Puzzle Master held a sword, while Avilan just stood there in front of him.
"I will win, Avilan! Tell me where the artifacts are!" He shouted.
"No! I would never."
"Then you will die." The Puzzle Master yelled as he charged foward, but Avilan held up an orb. A crystal ball of sorts, which glowed blue.
"This is the orb of light" Avilan stated. "Within this orb, holds in a contract for us. A deal."
"What deal?"
"As the protector of this town, and a memeber of the Society Against Evil, I will not allow you to gain the artifacts so quickly. I do know that you are more powerful than me, though." She stated.
"Go on,"
"I have chosen one boy in this town and protected him. I casted a spell on him to make him let go of the receipt and chase it out of town. This boy will invite his friends to this town. They will solve clues and collect each artifact. I did make sure to include your minions."
"Good." The Puzzle muttered, as people walked up behind him. The clowns, The Man With No Name, the Twin Dolls, The Crazy Man, The Witch, and The Demon. "My minions will protect each artifact. As a finale way to collect an artifact, someone will have to die for it."
"But give them a fighting chance. Each time there will be a challenge, so people have the chance to fight!" Avilan exclaimed.
"Very well then, Avilan."
"Remember. If the group of friends fail and they give up or all die in the process of gaining the artifacts, then you win. But if they collect all of them then we will use it's power to restore the town and you shall leave this place." She explained.
"I agree," The Puzzle Master laughed, shaking Avilan's hand.
Present Time......
STEWART THE DETECTIVE: (The Puzzle Master starts to use his magic and the ground starts to shake.)
"Guys, we need to go!" Gabe shouted. The three ran out of the church, but when they turned around, they saw it. People were coming out of their graves beside the church.
AMARA THE SUPERSPY: (The dead are rising! We are literally facing Zombies.)
"Guys, were do we go?" Amara asked.
"Avilan told us to go to the arcade before she died!" Stewart stated. The three ran over, zombies chasing them. They get to the arcade and shut the door.
GABE THE SAVANT: (We head into the lounge in the back of the arcade and we see a note on the table.)
"As my last puzzle for you, this is how you defeat the Puzzle Master. I always had a backup plan from the start as I knew he'd break the contract." Stewart read. "The Puzzle Master might have all the artifacts with him but there is a way to gain the artifacts back. You must collect the crystals of nature. Collect them, and the next ue will appear."
"Where are the crystals?" Amara asked.
"It said nature, which means fire, water, earth, and air. We could go to the candle shop, because that could be fire," Gabe explained.
"But how do we get past the zombies?" Stewart asked.
GABE THE SAVANT: (So we have a problem. We know what we need to do, but there is a crowd of zombies at the door, ready to eat us.)
