Dear Sir or Miss,
You have been cordially invited to dinner at Hill House Mansion.
Following dinner will be a small party, and an evening spent in the manor.
It would be to your advantage to be present on this date
because a Mr. Boddy will bring to an end a certain long-standing
confidential and painful financial liability.
Attached is a letter stating what your alias will be for the night.
Please do not disclose your true identity throughout your stay.
-A friend

<center>You have received a mysterious letter asking you to come
to dinner at a place you've never been before.
You don't know who this Mr. Boddy is, but if it's true that
he will put to end the blackmail you've been put up against
all of these years, you feel it's better to go
despite your reservations.

Once you arrive, you meet a number of other guests,
claiming to have received the same eerie letter.

Mr. Boddy himself is nowhere to be seen.

After dinner, you and the other guests have been
invited into the lounge for a small party of sorts.
Here is where we meet the mysterious Mr. Boddy
for the first time this evening. It is also here that
the nature of this call is revealed.

The butler and the maid have both been conspiring
against Mr. Boddy, as they, too, are victims of his
blackmail. The two of them have gathered all the evidence,
both written documents and recorded confessions, of Mr. Boddy's
blackmail. With your consent, they plan on turning
Mr. Boddy in to the police.

This news doesn't bother your host as much as it should.
Instead he procures a mysterious briefcase and opens it to
reveal an assortment of deadly weapons. One is given to each
of you as you look at each other bemusedly.

Mr. Boddy gives the instruction to kill his servants, with the
promise of letting you each escape from his blackmail if you
do so.

Silence is drawn and nothing happens. Mr. Boddy leaves the room
and retires to a different area of the manor. Maid and butler
exchange anxious glances as they offer to escort each guest to their bedroom
before returning to the servant's chamber for the night.

However, one of you did not let your offered weapon go to waste.
Stealing through the night, one house guest encountered Mr. Boddy and
killed him before the breaking dawn.

You're all awoken the next morning by a piercing scream as the
maid enters the master's chamber to awaken your odd host.
There, Mr. Boddy has been dragged and placed upon his bed, soaked with blood,
but seemingly unblemished. No clues can be seen as to how it happened,
but Mr. Boddy is clearly dead.

The question is; who did it? where? and with what?
It's up to you to find out before the police do,
otherwise all of you will be locked up for murder.

Appearance: Lady Marmalade is tall at 5' 10" and slender with light tan skin. She is of Asian origins. Her hair is platinum blonde, flowing and lightweight.

She likes to dress beautifully, wearing traditional Asian clothes such as kimonos and yukatas in her leisure. She wears only slight hints of make-up.

She strives to be positive.
