A Portal to Mystery/Transcript

The following is a transcript of Episode 6: A Portal to Mystery of Telltale Games' Minecraft: Story Mode.

Swamp[]

Jesse, Petra, Lukas and Ivor fall out of a portal into a swampy world. They land in a graveyard.

Jesse: Okay, guys. I’m seeing grass, forests, lots of ground in all directions. All good signs so far...

Ivor: Ahem. (Points)

Jesse looks up towards the night sky, where there are two moons.

Jesse: Aha.

Petra: Verdict says? Definitely not our world. You owe me two iron, Lukas. Pay up.

Lukas: Okay. Okay. Here.

Ivor: Told you it was a dumb bet.

Lukas: Oh, who asked you?

Stop goofing around.
Sounds like adventure!
This'll be no problem.
...

Jesse: Would you guys quit goofing around? This is kind of a serious situation.

Petra: Sorry.

Lukas: Yeah, sorry.

Jesse: Aw, come on. Can't you hear it?

Petra: Uh... spooky forest?

Jesse: It’s the sound of a new adventure! I bet this place is going to be awesome.

Lukas: I hope you're right.

Jesse: Cut the worried faces, guys. Whatever this place throws at us, it’ll be no problem!

Lukas: I hope you're right.

Petra: It's just two iron, Lukas. Don't look so disappointed. You're making me feel bad.

Lukas: No, no...

Lukas: I was just... ugh. I'm just worried about Axel and Olivia.

Petra: What? Why?

Lukas: Well, if they followed us back to that Old Builder temple and went through the portal...

Ivor: They would arrive in Sky City. To find it overflowing with monsters.

Lukas: Yeah...

Petra: At least we already built them the bridge?

Ivor: That is more than we started with.

I hadn't thought of that.
They can handle themselves.
I don't think they followed us.
...

Jesse: Oh, man. I hadn’t thought about that. If they followed us... they could be in trouble.

Petra: Hey, maybe next time we’re in the portal hall we can leave a sign or something. Tell them which one we’re going through.

Lukas: I like that idea.

Jesse: Okay, so maybe they did. But they can handle themselves no problem. They'll find the next portal just like we did... and hopefully, we'll all be back together again soon.

Jesse: Nah, I don’t think they would have followed us. They had a lot going on in town. We'll get home and they'll be super jealous they missed out on all this.

Petra: Hey, maybe next time we’re in the portal hall we can leave a sign or something. Tell them which one we’re going through.

Lukas: I like that idea.

Ivor: Well, I for one vote that we not be so hasty to try and get out of here. Who knows what sorts of treasures this new world could hold? Besides, unless the next portal is disguised as a tombstone, I'm not seeing it anywhere near here.

Jesse looks towards a platform in the fog, with a book on top of it.

Jesse: You guys see some sort of... shape, over there?

Petra: Yeah, what is that?

Jesse: Let's find out.

The group slowly approach the platform. Jesse picks up the book and opens it.

Jesse: It says "Invitation." And then, "Read immediately! Your life depends on it!" Ahem. "Greetings, traveller-"

A horde of zombies approach the group from the other side of the graveyard.

Lukas: Yeah, that seems about right.

Petra: Keep reading, Jesse! We've got your back!

Petra and Lukas fight off the zombies.

Jesse: (Reading) “I humbly invite you to my mansion for an evening of food and festivity with your fellow adventurers.“

Lukas: That's... odd.

Jesse: Yeah. Weird, right? Whoa!

Jesse kicks an approaching zombie.

Petra: Toss it here!

Jesse throws the book to Petra and she opens it, while Jesse fights off the zombies.

Ivor: Petra! Anytime now? You can read, right?

Petra: Hang on, hang on, need to find Jesse’s place. Got it! (Reading) “Come to my home on the hill, just follow the path. Please watch out for zombies. Sincerely, The Host."

Lukas: (Sarcastically) Nice warning.

Jesse: Come on! There's the path!

The group leave the graveyard and follow the path in the ground. Multitudes of hordes of zombies draw towards them.

Ivor: I must say, this is the highest concentration of zombies I’ve ever seen in one place.

Lukas: You think this “Host” is going to be legit, Jesse? I just ask, well, because this place hasn’t exactly been friendly so far.

Petra: Hey. The invitation was classy, though.

I hope so.
Seems legit to me.
It could be a trap.
...

Jesse: Boy, I hope so. Wouldn’t mind getting out of the zombies for a bit.

Jesse: I don’t see why they wouldn’t be. The invitation and everything seems pretty legit.

Jesse: I’m suspicious too, Lukas. This has “trap” written all over it. Unfortunately with all these zombies everywhere we can’t exactly stick around out here.

Petra: I’m just saying, anyone who goes through the effort of making an invitation like that? How bad can they be?

The group notice a large mansion in the foggy distance.

Ivor: I’m going to go out on a limb and say... that’s the place we’re looking for!

Petra: Race you guys there!

Ivor: Oooh... yeah. I don’t race so much anymore. Bad, heh, bad knees.

Petra: You pick up that excuse at the same place you got that haircut? Because they’re both awful.

You're on, Petra!
You're not taking this seriously.
We need to stick together!
...

Jesse: Hope that fighting helped you work up an appetite, Petra. Because you’re about to eat my dust.

Petra: Big words, Jesse.

Jesse: Petra, would you please take this seriously? This place is dangerous, and you could really-

Petra: What’s that? I can’t hear you over the sound of ME KICKING YOUR BUTT.

Jesse: Hey, just try not to die okay? I’m trying to keep everyone together here!

Petra: Sure, sure, that's fine. But you gotta catch me first!

Ivor: Hey! Too personal!

The group run towards the mansion, avoiding the hordes of zombies. Petra and Lukas take a separate route up the top of a hill. Jesse and Ivor run through the forest, evading the countless zombies and spiders. They fall into a flowing river and make their way across.

Ivor: You hear that too, right? Almost sounds like a...

They look ahead at a massive waterfall.

Ivor: WATERFALL!

Jesse tries to swim towards the surface, but is hit by a zombie in the water. They fall towards a group of vines, hanging by the surface.

Grab Vine
Do Nothing

Jesse grabs onto the vine.

Ivor grabs Jesse by the arm.

Ivor: Not to worry! I've got you.

Ivor swings Jesse towards a nearby vine.

Jesse and Ivor make their way up to the surface. They find their way into a dead end, with a large wall.

Jesse: Execute Manoeuvre 66! Stairs!

Jesse and Ivor dig through diagonally upwards through the wall. They make their way towards the mansion.

Entrance Gates[]

(Won the Race)
(Lost the Race)

Jesse: Woo! Nailed it!

Petra: Okay, okay. You won THAT one, Jesse.

Petra: What took you so long? Got stuck in some soul sand?

Jesse: Okay, okay. Just you wait til next time, though. Because you’re TOTALLY going down.

Ivor: Let’s maybe... get inside the mansion before we pat ourselves on the back too much, shall we?

The group sneak towards a fountain, near the entrance of the mansion.

Petra: That front door’s definitely a no-go.

A nearby zombie spots the group and growls.

Jesse: Stick with me, guys!

The group follow Jesse around the exterior of the mansion. Jesse looks up towards a window, where a creepy figure is watching them. The figure is wearing a white pumpkin for a head. They leave the window.

Jesse: The heck?!

Petra: What? What'd you see? You just... gasped. Like, like you’d seen something.

A creepy guy in the window.
I think I saw our host!
Run now. Talk later.
...

Jesse: Don't know who he was... some creepy guy in the window. He had a white pumpkin for a head.

Ivor: White pumpkin? No such thing as white pumpkins!

Lukas: Let’s save the agricultural discussions for inside, huh?

Jesse: I think I saw our host. He had a white pumpkin for a head.

Ivor: White pumpkin? No such thing as white pumpkins!

Lukas: Let’s save the agricultural discussions for inside, huh?

Jesse: Run now. Talk later.

Lukas: Good plan.

Petra: Okay, okay, tell us when we get inside then.

The group find themselves surrounded by zombies.

Ivor: Great! There’s no door back here! How are we supposed to get in?!

(Optional Interaction) Look at Exit
...

Jesse: Nope. Can’t go back that way.

Look at Window
Do Nothing

Jesse: There! We should be able to build up and break in through there! Trees! We can cut those down!

Ivor: Good plan!

Petra: Jesse, come on!

Lukas: There! If we build up, maybe we can break in through that window?

The group cut down the nearby trees and build up towards the window using wooden blocks.

Petra: Now my inventory is full of wood blocks.

Jesse: Hey, you never know when those'll come in handy.

Jesse approaches the window and peeks inside.

Jesse: Looks like some kind of kitchen in there.

Ivor: Then break the window and get us into the blasted place!

Jesse punches through the window.

Jesse: Hope the Host doesn't mind us breaking through their window...

Petra: I’m sure he’ll find it in his heart to forgive us.

The group make their way into the kitchen.

Kitchen[]

The group walk through the kitchen, past a large amount of furnaces in the wall.

Jesse: Wow. Some kitchen.

Two voices are heard from another room.

CaptainSparklez: TorqueDawg, you know I don't care if you took it. Just give it back.

TorqueDawg: And I'm telling you for the last time, Sparklez. I didn't take the stupid thing!

CaptainSparklez: (Enters) I think we could avoid a lot of unpleasantness if-

TorqueDawg: WHAT THE...?

Jesse: Hi!

TorqueDawg: Oh, ha ha ha, very very funny. Show up super late, make us all sit and wonder what the heck is going on... this is your house, right? Cuz if it is, we've all been waiting for, like... hours. It's rude!

CaptainSparklez: Now easy, TorqueDawg.

Ivor: Jesse? Are you going to take this one, or shall I?

Isn't this your house?
We're not the host.
We got an invite too!
...

Jesse: Wait, this isn't your house?

CaptainSparklez: No. I'm afraid we're not the ones behind this either.

TorqueDawg: Ew, no.

CaptainSparklez: Be polite.

Jesse: We're not the hosts of... whatever this is, sorry. We're just in here to hide from the freaking sea of zombies.

Petra: Yeah. It's pretty bad out there, in case you haven't noticed.

TorqueDawg: (Sarcastically) No wayyy...

CaptainSparklez: Be polite.

Jesse: We got one of these invitations too! What the heck is going on here?

CaptainSparklez: Darn! Sorry for the language. That wasn't about you getting an invitation. Just that I was hoping YOU could explain things.

Jesse says nothing.

CaptainSparklez: This is... TorqueDawg.

TorqueDawg: Sup.

CaptainSparklez: And I'm CaptainSparklez! Though, maybe you know that already. "CaptainSparklez?" I've got, like, 9 million fans?

Petra: "CaptainSparkles?" Are you saying that with a "z"?

Ivor: Petra, show some respect! The man's a CAPTAIN. (To Sparklez) Sorry, Captain. Civilians, amirite?

Weird names.
Awesome to meet you!
No clue who you are.
...

Jesse: Those... are your names? Like, your real names.

CaptainSparklez: Yes?

Jesse: Huh, weird. Anyway, I'm Jesse. That's Petra, Ivor and Lukas.

Jesse: It really is awesome to meet you! I'm Jesse. And that's Petra, Lukas and Ivor.

Jesse: Yeeeah, I actually have no idea who you are.

CaptainSparklez: Oh. Really? Like... no idea? Like, none?

Jesse: Nope, sorry. But, uh, my name's Jesse. That over there is Lukas and Petra and Ivor.

Petra: Uh... I'll go first, I guess? I'm Petra. That's Jesse, and over here are Ivor and Lukas.

Ivor: Charmed.

TorqueDawg: "Jesse?"

(Jesse Is Male)
(Jesse Is Female)

TorqueDawg: That's a girl's name.

TorqueDawg: That's a boy's name.

TorqueDawg: What are you guys, anyway? (Smirks) Some sort of "Loser Patrol?"

CaptainSparklez: TorqueDawg...

TorqueDawg: Aw, come on. That was hilarious.

We're a big deal.
YOU'RE the loser.
Ha, good one!
...

Jesse: Actually, we're the Order of the Stone. Legendary heroes. Kind of a big deal.

TorqueDawg: Pfft. “Legendary Heroes,“ huh? I ain’t never heard of you.

CaptainSparklez: TorqueDawg, cool it! That sea of zombies has us ALL trapped, so we just need to try our best to get along.

Jesse: You would know all about Loser Patrols, wouldn't you? Loser.

TorqueDawg: Whoa. You fronting, right now? Is that what's going on? What've you got? Like, 12 fans?

CaptainSparklez: TorqueDawg, cool it! That sea of zombies has us ALL trapped, so we just need to try our best to get along.

Jesse: Ha! That's a good one! You... you are very funny, TorqueDawg.

TorqueDawg: I, uh... wow. You know something? No one ever gets my sense of humor. I think I like you, pipsqueak! Look... sorry if I was coming down harsh on you. Y'see, I was expecting to swoop in, score some sick snackage and bounce, y'know? But, uh... well, thanks to those stupid zombies, TorqueDawg's trapped here with all these losers.

TorqueDawg: Yeah, that's what I thought.

CaptainSparklez: TorqueDawg, cool it! That sea of zombies has us ALL trapped, so we just need to try our best to get along.

TorqueDawg: Worst. Day. EVER.

CaptainSparklez: Just try and look on the bright side.

TorqueDawg: I hate so much about the way you choose to be.

Is everyone here as rude as you?
Is everyone here awesome too?
How many are here?
Can we work together?
...

(If Jesse didn't say "Ha, good one!")

Jesse: Hm. All these other people as rude as you?

TorqueDawg: Watch yourself, little dude.

(If Jesse said "Ha, good one!")

Jesse: Man, are all these other people as awesome as you guys?

CaptainSparklez: Well, it is a group of well-respected adventurers, treasure-hunters, master builders...

Jesse: Wait, how many more people are in this place?

CaptainSparklez: Counting us, seven?

TorqueDawg: Mm-hm. Most of them, useless.

Jesse: Maybe we can all work together to get through those zombies? Power in numbers and all that?

CaptainSparklez: That's what we were trying to figure out! Just can't get EVERYONE to work together...

Ivor: Am I sensing some drama here between the two of you?

CaptainSparklez: Just, heh, just a touch.

TorqueDawg: Pfft. Whatever.

TorqueDawg: I tell you what. The minute all them weird zombies are gone, TorqueDawg is outta here!

Jesse: Okay, so the sea of zombies isn't normal. Good to hear.

Petra: Two moons IS normal, though, right?

CaptainSparklez: Um... the moons...? Yeah.

TorqueDawg: Why don't you know about this stuff? You from, like, out of town or something?

Suddenly, the room goes dark.

Ivor: Aaah!

Lukas: What now?!

CaptainSparklez: Did you hear that?

TorqueDawg sounds like he's getting shot at with arrows.

TorqueDawg: Oof! Ow! Ooh!

Ivor: Something touched my foot! Who touched my foot?!

CaptainSparklez: I think it stopped...

Lukas: But what's up with the lights?

Petra: Is everyone okay?

What's going on?
TorqueDawg?!
Dive for cover!
...

Jesse: Hey! What's going on?!

Jesse: TorqueDawg? TORQUEDAWG?!

Jesse: Everyone! Dive for cover!

TorqueDawg is coughing.

The lights come back on. TorqueDawg is seen with Tipped Arrows stabbed all over his body.

TorqueDawg: Hey, Jesse. Jesse, c'mere.

Jesse walks up to TorqueDawg.

TorqueDawg: You've got...

Jesse is Male
Jesse is Female

TorqueDawg: ...a girl's name...

TorqueDawg: ...a boy's name...

TorqueDawg dies.

CaptainSparklez: TorqueDawg...? TorqueDawg?!

Ivor: So I'm guessing calling dibs on his inventory would be...

Petra: Ivor!

Ivor: NOT classy. Got it, got it. Just needed to see where we stood.

That poor guy.
Jesse isn't a girl's name.
Jesse isn't a boy's name.
We were getting along, too.
Sparklez, did YOU do that?
...

Jesse: That poor guy... That's so awful...

Petra: Yeah. He uh... seemed like a little bit of a jerk, but that's still a nasty way to go.

(If Jesse is Male and didn't say "Ha, good one!")

Jesse: "Jesse" isn't just a girl's name.

(If Jesse is Female and didn't say "Ha, good one!")

Jesse: "Jesse" isn't just a boy's name.

(If Jesse said "Ha, good one!")

Jesse: Aw man. Just when I thought we were starting to get along.

Jesse: Sparklez, I hope this isn't an insensitive question... But did YOU do that?

CaptainSparklez: What? No! How could you say that?

Jesse says nothing.

CaptainSparklez: All those arrows! His inventory... Everywhere! How did that..?! Who..?! One minute he's alive... the next? Gone. Poof!

That was awful!
Were you guys close?
Pull yourself together!

Jesse: I know, that was absolutely awful. We were talking, like a second ago. And then suddenly, he's full of arrows!

Sparklez will remember that.

Jesse: Wow, you seem pretty broken up about this - were you guys close?

Sparklez will remember that.

CaptainSparklez: I mean, not really? He was kind of a tough guy to be close with, but it's still terrible!

Jesse: Sparklez, I know you're freaking out right now, but you've got to pull yourself together!

Sparklez will remember that.

CaptainSparklez: Okay, okay, you're right. Woo. You're right.

Jesse looks at the ceiling where the arrows that shot TorqueDawg came from.

Jesse: Everyone stand back.

Everyone stands back.

Jesse: Lemme see what I can figure out.

CaptainSparklez: This is... why is this happening?

Jesse picks a Tipped Arrow

Jesse: Guys. Found something... strange about this arrow.

Jesse: Ivor - you know potions and enchantments and weird stuff like that. What do you make of it?

Ivor grabs the Tipped Arrow and begins sniffing it.

Ivor: Mm. Smells like... yes! Potion of Poison?

CaptainSparklez: Oh, is it a t-tipped arrow? Oh, I've heard of those. They're... they're still pretty new.

CaptainSparklez: Nasty stuff.

Ivor: Using potions to make arrows... the possibilities are fascinating.

Lukas: Would you stop pointing that thing all over the place? You're making me nervous.

What else are you not telling us?
Seen them used like this?
Wait, what kind of arrow?
(...)

TBA

Jesse: Back up. What'd you say that was?

CaptainSparklez: Uh... tipped arrows? You can, like, put different potion effects on them.

TBA

'CaptainSparklez: Could've sworn I saw someone doing a tutorial on how to make those not too long ago...

Ivor gives the tipped arrow back to Jesse.

'CaptainSparklez: But my nerves are too shot to remember who right now.

Ivor glares at Sparklez.

Jesse: Well, let me know if it comes back to you.

Jesse winks and heads back to the TorqueDawg's inventory.

'CaptainSparklez: Who would do this?

Jesse: Gunpowder, redstone dust, leather pants... Pretty much what you would expect, I guess...

The Trapdoor activates and TorqueDawg's inventory falls in the hole.

Jesse: There’s the trapdoor that sucked up TorqueDawg’s stuff.

Dining Room[]

[Sparklez leads Jesse and the group into the dining room, where everyone else is waiting.]

CaptainSparklez: Here, let me introduce you all properly. You guys already met Cassie Rose and LDShadowLady.

Lizzie: But my friends call me Lizzie.

CaptainSparklez: This is StacyPlays, StampyCat, and that's Dan "The Diamond Minecart."

Petra: (To Dan) When did your hair change color? Wasn't it...?

CaptainSparklez: It's funny. Before you guys showed up...we all knew each other here.

(If Jesse said "We're a big deal.")
(If Jesse said anything else)

CaptainSparklez: They're the Order of the Stone, Jesse, Petra, Lukas and Ivor. Apparently they're famous heroes where they come from.

CaptainSparklez: Their names are Jesse, Petra, Lukas and Ivor.

Dan: You said there was news? Is it good? Good news?

CaptainSparklez: Ah yeah. It's um...bad news, I'm afraid. TorqueDawg...is dead.

Stampy: Good heavens.

Cassie: Oh no.

Dan: Wait, what?

Stacey: But TorqueDawg was so tough, there was nothing that could take him down. What happened?

Dan: Yeah...What on Earth is going on here, Sparklez?

Ivor: This is going well so far.

It was a terrible accident.
We're looking into it.
[Show them the Arrow]
...

Jesse:

[Jesse pulls out the tipped arrow.]

Jesse: These are what got him.

Lizzie: Tipped Arrows?

Stacy: Does this mean someone set a trap for TorqueDawg? That's nasty.

CaptainSparklez: I know, I know it's a big shock. We're still trying to figure out the details of what's going on.

Dan: Ah, I can't believe TorqueDawg's gone, just like that.

Stacy: So...what happened to his stuff?

Cassie: Whoa! How could you say that?!

Stacey: What? It's a valid question.

Petra: Whoa.

Stampy: Come on everyone, come on. Don't get greedy!

Stacy: Just... I want to know what happened. For curiosity's sake.

It disappeared.
Why do you care?
That's pretty cold.
...

Jesse: His stuff just disappeared. Went down this weird hole in the floor.

Stampy: Are we just supposed to take your word for that?

CaptainSparklez: Guys, I saw it too. Jesse was poking around TorqueDawg's stuff right before it got sucked into a hopper.

Jesse: Why do you care so much about TorqueDawg's stuff?

Stacy: I was just-ugh. I was just wondering, okay? I'm-I'm a curious person.

Jesse:

Lukas: I can't believe you guys are arguing like this after someone just died!

Stacy: Well...let's just say you didn't know TorqueDawg like we did.

Lukas: So I'm looking at this situation and I'm trying to figure something out. Is this just about TorqueDawg or is there a bigger picture?

Petra: Yeah. Why have our portraits?

Lizzie: I dunno guys. Knowing TorqueDawg I think this might just be about him.

Petra: Am I picking up some beef here?

Lizzie: Uh, what? No! I don't know what you're talking about.

[Everyone looks at Lizzie.]

The invitations prove otherwise.
You think he deserved it?
What aren't you saying?
...

Jesse: Okay, but then why invite us all here?

Lizzie: That's true, hadn't thought about that.

Jesse: What, like you think he deserved it?

Lizzie: Well that sounds pretty harsh, but, uh...I dunno? Maybe?

Jesse:

Lizzie: You know what? Forget I said anything.

Lizzie: Well someone brought us all here for a reason. Including TorqueDawg.

Dan: What if we're all in danger?

Stacy: Ohmygosh! Dan's right!

Stampy: Whoever's doing this... they could be hunting us!

Lizzie: "Hunting us?!"

I'm not scared!
We can work together.
Leave me out of this.
...

Jesse:

Jesse: Hey, come on everyone. If there's one thing I believe in, it's teamwork. If we all stick together and get through this as a team, we'll be fine!

Dan: Ha. Inspiring...

They will remember that.

CaptainSparklez: There you go, guys! Teamwork makes the dream work!

Ivor: Wow.

Jesse:

Cassie: Oh, I knew I never should have come here.

They will remember that.

Dan: Oh no, this is bad. This is so very very bad.

Stampy: Oh, all of this "danger" talk has my stomach all queasy.

Stacey: Stampy! Come over here! (whispers) I need to talk to you about something.

[Stampy and Stacy walk off.]

Dan: (whispering) Lizzie. Psst. Lizzie!

[Lizzie sits with Dan. Cassie and Sparklez eventually pair up too.]

Ivor: The more I think about it, the more I think there's something these people really don't want us to know.

Petra: One of them's gotta know the truth about what's going on here.

Lukas: It'd be nice to figure out what on earth is going on here...especially if we're gonna be stuck with these people until dawn.

Detective time.
What makes you so sure?
Let's gain their trust.

Jesse: Sounds like we got a mystery to solve, people. Luckily, Detective Jesse is one the case.

Jesse:

Jesse: I say we talk to everyone and gain their trust.

Petra: Yeah. Good luck with that.

Lukas: Let's get investigating then.

[Jesse must investigate the pairs of people before proceeding.]

Talk to your friends.
Talk to Dan and Lizzie
Talk to StampyCat and StacyPlays
Talk to Cassie and Sparklez

Jessie: Hey guys.

Petra: Hey Jesse. How's it going?

Lukas: Yeah, find anything out yet why TorqueDawg was...you know?

Jessie: Hey there, Dan. Lizzie.

Dan: Oh uh, hello?

Lizzie: Hi there.

[Jesse sits down.]

Jessie: If you don't mind, I actually had some questions about this TorqueDawg situation.

Dan: Yeah? Go ahead.

Why so interested in his stuff?
You disliked TorqueDawg
Why target him?

Jessie: It seemed like some people were really interested in seeing TorqueDawg's stuff. Any idea why?

Lizzie: An adventurer like him? He could've had all sorts of cool stuff.

Jessie: Uh-huh...

Jessie: Lizzie, seems like you're not much of a TorqueDawg fan. What's the deal?

Lizzie: Oh come on, you met him, right? Nobody liked that guy, I'm just the only one who will actually admit it.

Dan: He um...yeah, he definitely wasn't the nicest person.

TorqueDawg stole from you.
Drop the subject.

(This option only appears if Jesse has said "Why doesn't Lizzie like him?" to Stampy and Stacey before talking to Dan & Lizzie)

Jesse: So, Lizzie. I heard something interesting about you and TorqueDawg.

Lizzie: Yeah? What'd you hear? I'm sure there are all sorts of rumors floating around out there.

Dan: Lizzie...

He stole from you!
Stampy already told me.
You're hiding something.
...

Jesse: I heard he stole from you!

Lizzie: Whoa! Would you keep it down? Okay. Yes. He did.

Lizzie will remember that.

Jesse: Lizzie, it's okay. Stampy already told me. I know the truth about you and TorqueDawg.

Lizzie will remember that.

Lizzie: Ugh. That pointy-eared blabbermouth! Okay. Yes. It's true.

Jesse: I know you're hiding something, "Shadow Lady".

Lizzie will remember that.

Dan: Aw, come on, Lizzie. You might as well come clean.

Lizzie: Fine, fine. Nice work, "detective." It's true.

Dan: Lizzie! Would you cut it out with the secrecy and the lying and everything? Everyone KNOWS TorqueDawg broke into your place and-

Lizzie: Whoa! Would you keep it down? Okay. Yes. He did.

Lizzie: He stole one of my Creeper Head trophies - my very first one! I just didn't wanna mention it before because I didn't wanna look guilty.

Dan: Wait. Creeper Head? This isn't about the-

Lizzie: Dan! Shh! No, not in front of... And no. I told you - I never had it.

Dan, what was stolen?
Drop the subject.

Jesse: Dan, you seemed surprised by Lizzie mentioning a stolen Creeper Head... What did you THINK TorqueDawg had stolen from her?

(If you already asked "Why target him?")
(If you didn't already ask "Why target him?")

Dan: Uh...remember that "rare item" you were asking us before? Yeah, it's that. And I'm still not going to talk about it. Sorry.

Dan: No offense, but I'm not sure I feel comfortable discussing it with you. Sorry.

[Depending on the order of questions you asked, Jesse will either continue asking or end the conversation.]

Jessie: TorqueDawg was clearly targeted with this trap. Why him?

Dan: Well, he was bragging about having some kind of "rare item."

Lizzie: Wouldn't show it to anyone of course. Typical TorqueDawg.

He had a rare item.
Drop the subject.

Jessie: So this "rare item" that TorqueDawg claimed to have, what can you tell me about it.

Lizzie: We don't know exactly.

Dan: Yeah, sorry.

Jesse: Okay...

[Depending on the order of questions you asked, Jesse will either continue asking or end the conversation.]

Jessie: Okay, that's it for now. Thanks.

[Jesse leaves the table.]

Petra: What'd you find out?

Jessie:

Library[]

Jesse is in a library, waiting for Petra to bring in the suspect for interrogation.

Dan
Lizzie
Stampy

Petra brings Dan into the library.

Dan: I'm telling you, you got the wrong guy. Honest! I would never hurt anyone, you've got to believe me. If anyone has been wronged here, it's me. That enchanted flint & steel everyone's talking about? I found that! That's mine! Least it was before someone stole it. And now everything's gone completely crazy. People getting caught in horrible traps, everyone accusing and blaming each other...

You invited people here for that?
Now you want revenge.
It means a lot to you.
You refused to talk about it.
...

Jesse: That's why you invited everyone here, huh? To find out who stole it?

Dan: What? No, no, no, no, no. I didn't invite anyone, that's NOT what's going on! I was invited here, same as everyone else.

Jesse: Oh, I see. Someone stole your loot and you want revenge, huh? That about the long and short of it?

Dan: Oh no no, no no, no no. I just want what's rightfully mine!

Jesse gives Dan a stare.

Dan: I mean, we ALL want it. Doesn't mean I'd kill people for it though.

Jesse: Uh huh.

Jesse: Wow, so this Flint & Steel means a lot to you, doesn't it?

Dan: You don't get it. Lizzie and I have been chasing each other to get that thing for years. And now people are DYING over it? I just want you to know the truth!

(This option replaces "It means a lot to you." if Jesse asked Dan & Lizzie "Dan, what was stolen?")

Jesse: Funny, when we were talking about the... "Rare-item" before, you were pretty tight-lipped. Why so eager to share it now?

Dan: Why? People are dying over that thing now! I just want you to know the truth! Especially with Lizzie being so jealous over me beating her to it in the end.

Dan: I just can't believe this is all over MY enchanted Flint & Steel...

Dan: I'm NOT the White Pumpkin! You've gotta believe me! What can I tell you to convince you?

Petra brings Lizzie into the library.

Lizzie: Jesse, listen. There's been a lot of talk thrown around today. I don't know what people have told you, I don't know what you believe, but I'll just admit it, I want that enchanted flint & steel as much as anyone. Probably more than any of them. I've been searching for it for YEARS. Do you know how much it stung to have Dan, *DAN*, swoop in and take it from under my nose? So aggravating.

Petra brings Stampy into the library.

Interrogated Stampy First

Interrogated Dan before Stampy
Interrogated Lizzie before Stampy

StampyCat: Hellooo, I saw Dan on his way out and, I don’t know what he told you, but...

StampyCat: Helloooo, that was, um, Lizzie on her way out, right? Listen, I don't know what she told you but...

Stampy: Jesse I'm telling you, this is just crazy! Absolutely crazy! Total misunderstanding.

Jesse points to a nearby couch telling Stampy to sit down.

Stampy: I don't even WANT that Flint & Steel thingy. Not, um, not as much as the others at any rate. Did I hear someone say that it has something to do with portals? I don't have any interest in portals, no sir, not for ol' Mister Stampy Cat, thank you. It's me! Stampy! Everyone's friend!

So you DON'T want a Portal Key?
I don't believe you.

Jesse: I'm not gonna sugarcoat it Stampy, I don't believe you.

StampyCat: Well... Well I don't know what to tell you. Because that's the truth. It really is! Honest!

StampyCat: Please, just tell me what you want to know.

Who took the Flint & Steel?
What's your skill in redstone?

Jesse: Okay, enough dancing around. Who do you think took the Flint & Steel?

Stampy gets ready to come up with an answer.

Interrogated Dan first before Stampy
Did anything else

StampyCat: Honestly? I think it was Lizzie. She wanted to get it back from Dan - Don't think she ever really got over him sniping her for it. Sad, really.

StampyCat: I don't think it was ever actually stolen.

Jesse: Oh?

StampyCat: Yeah, so, Dan got it ahead of Lizzie, right? And she was pretty angry about it. *I* think he made up that story about it being stolen so she'd think he didn't have it anymore. Classic Dan move.

Jesse: Come on, suspect. It's time to return to the others.

[Jesse enters the living room.]

Stacy: So? Have you decided?

Stampy: Yes, who do you think the White Pumpkin really is?

Jesse: Now hang on, hang on everyone. First of all, I want to thank everyone for answering my questions. There's still not 100% proof of anyone but...

Dan: But...?

Ivor: Yes, where are your suspicions leaning, Jesse?

Lizzie: Jesse was definitely questioning Stampy the longest.

Stampy: What? No!

Stacy: Dan was in there way longer.

Dan: Hey! Not cool!

Cassie: Guys, guys, come on.

I'm suspecting Dan.
I think it might be Stampy.
Evidence points to Lizzie.
Not sure enough to accuse anyone.

Jesse: Having gone through all the evidence, I'm leaning towards Dan right now.

Dan will remember that.

Dan: Whoa whoa whoa. Are you serious? Are you serious right now?

Jesse: There's just way too much drama around Dan wanting his flint & steel back. It's pretty suspicious.

Dan: Guys? Guys! You're not really listening to this are you?

Lizzie: I say we lock him up in the library, figure out what to do with him in the morning.

Stampy: I fully endorse this plan!

Cassie: Sorry Dan, but we can't take any chances here.

Dan: No! This is nuts! I'm not the *White Pumpkin*! Are you hearing how crazy that sounds?

[Cassie walks Dan to the library, followed by the other Youtubers.]

Jesse: Having talked to all the key witnesses...I think it might be Stampy Cat.

StampyCat will remember that.

Stampy: No! That's crazy talk. Absolute crazy talk!

Jesse: Of the suspects, he's the one with redstone chops to make all these traps.

Stampy: No no no you can't really believe this, can you?

Dan: I'm thinking we lock him back in that library - Hold him there til morning.

Lizzie: Sounds like a good plan!

Cassie: Sorry Stampy, but we can't take any chances here.

Stampy: Oh come on! I'm Stampy Cat! Mr. Stampy! I'm no White Pumpkin!

[Cassie walks Stampy to the library, followed by the other Youtubers.]

Jesse: Right now, evidence seems to point to Lizzie!

Lizzie will remember that.

Lizzie: What! No way!

Jesse: She's the only one I was talking to who had any idea about the tipped arrows that were used to kill TorqueDawg.

Lizzie: Oh come on guys, you can't really be doing this.

Stacy: I vote we lock her back up in the library and wait til morning.

Stampy: I fully endorse this plan!

Cassie: Sorry Lizzie, but we can't take any chances here.

Lizzie: No! Guys! You know me - I'm no killer! I'm not the White Pumpkin!

[Cassie walks Lizzie to the library, followed by the other Youtubers.]

Jesse: I actually don't think there's evidence to accuse ANYONE yet.

Stacy: What?!

Petra: Yeah, that seems surprising.

They will remember that.

Jesse: I'm sorry, but I don't want to accuse anyone unless I'm 100% sure. And I'm not.

Cassie: Wow. Way to take a bold stance, Jesse.

Dan: Well, I for one am not comfortable being surrounded by possible killers so, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to barricade myself in the library for my own safety.

Lizzie: Fine. Suit yourself.

Stampy: Yeah, I'm more in the "safety in numbers" camp myself.

[The Youtubers walk away.]

Ivor: Well, that was certainly some excitement.

Lukas: Yeah, no kidding.

Petra: If the White Pumpkin is still roaming around though...They might be trying to set up more traps. We need to figure out how these things work. Like, we know that the Sparklez trap was triggered by those buttons under the table, but what about the trap that turned TorqueDawg into a pincushion? If we figure out how these things work, we might be able to find more proof about who the White Pumpkin is, how they're operating.

Lukas: Petra's got a good point.

The trap is in the kitchen.
The White Pumpkin was watching.
It was triggered nearby.
...

Jessie:

Jessie: I'm not sure but the White Pumpkin didn't trigger it until TorqueDawg was in the exact right spot. That means he must've been watching from somewhere.

Lukas: Creepy.

Ivor: Yes, seems like it might be worth our while to poke around the kitchen.

Jessie: It must've been triggered from nearby. Just like the table buttons.

Ivor: Sounds like we need to investigate near the trap then.

Ivor: Yes, seems like it might be worth our while to poke around the kitchen.

Lukas: You guys go on ahead. I'm going to stay here and keep an eye on these other people. I don't want them trying anything while we're not looking.

Jesse: Thanks Lukas.

Kitchen[]

[Jesse, Petra and Ivor enter the kitchen.]

Petra: Back in the kitchen. So, what are we looking for exactly? Buttons like back in the dining room? Conspicuous white pumpkins laying around?

We make sure this place is safe.
We need concrete evidence.
We find the link.
Dan wants the flint and steel.
Stampy was a redstone master.
Lizzie was a potions expert.
...

Jesse: This whole house could be full of traps... I just want to make sure this place is safe before someone else gets hurt.

Ivor: An excellent plan.

Jesse: Too many loose ends flying around. A lot of evidence doesn't add up. We need to find some definitive concrete evidence...
