Cook- 


Remember to serve the ballerinas only a 


light supper the night of a performance, 


lest we have a repeat of little Catherine's 


unwelcome addition to Thursday night's show. 


Consider this your first and only warning.

M17FKEY location

My most enchanting Lady V - 


I will cherish the flute always. Its outward 


beauty is matched only by its glorious tone. 


I must endeavor to keep it safe. However I 


will be somewhat indisposed at home until this 


confounded furuncle heals. I hope I do not 


impose too much upon you - but will you 


look after this key to my wall safe 


while I recover? The flute is there, 


of course. I hope to return to my duties as 


music director before the new moon. 


Your friend and colleague -

These are great times for thinkers such

powers, and the power unleashed by your music, 


I am more and more convinced that our day is near. 


Please accept this flute as a token of my 


continued appreciation. Appreciation for our 


special friendship, and for your tireless 


dedication to the opera. 


Yours always - Lady Valerius

I write in hopes that you will consent to a stroll

if need be. A short stroll and some pleasant

one fit for a queen. 


Awaiting you on the promenade, 


I remain, 


Your most ardent admirer,

Betwixt Our Hero Reginald, Hammerite Novice, 


and the Sprightly Conandra, Forest Denizen and 


Ruler of all Trees. 




Libretto and Music by Ian Cribs. 




ACT 1: The Forest Edge. 


REGINALD has been sent to cut 




wood. He sings: 


'I am but a simple novice,


sent here to bring 


wood from forest,


happy is this sunny day,


if only it could stay 


this way.' 


CONANDRA, singing from afar:


'Ahh glorious sun! 


Send your rays upon us! 


But wait - who is this I spy? 


Who dares fell wood from my 


domain?! He will learn the 


folly of his ways!!' 


Conandra lands a blow 


upon Reginald's head.


Reginald sings: 


'Ahh! Pound me not foul forest thing!' 


He raises his axe 


in a defensive stance. 


Reginald sees Conandra for 


the first time, he sings: 


'Did I say foul forest thing? 


For thou art beautiful as 


a butterfly's wing!' 


Conandra, her eyes 


meeting Reginald's, sings: 


'Didst I land a blow upon your head? 


For I would rather take 


my own life instead!' 




They embrace. 


They exit stage left. 


The forest creatures sing: 


'Na, na, na, la, la, la, etc.'

M17pbll[]

Description: A message from Lady Valerius to the man in charge of the party sent to deal with the spider problems

Location: in the chamber where the Water Talisman should be kept

The Caverns, The Keeper's Shrine

M17pbll location

To Captain Colliard, from Lady Valerius- 


I have received word of the 


shrine and treasure room you have 


found during your mission to 


eradicate our little spider problem. 


I look forward to receiving 


whatever bounty lies there, and 


will not tolerate any more excuses 


about mysterious traps or other 


dangers. 


Success - Lady V.

M17PKEEP[]

Description: A poor Keeper's last notes

Location: near the bones of a Keeper

The Caverns ("4 men lost")

M17PKEEP location

I fear to go on. The rest of the 


expedition have gone on ahead, and I was 


to follow directly. But when the last of them 


disappeared beneath the surface of the water, 


all my strength and courage disappeared with 


them. When they see that I do not follow, 


they will surely send someone back for me. 


I need only wait a moment more, 


or perhaps at most an hour.


Dark thoughts haunt me. 


What is time in a place that sees 


no sun or moon? What good are tears 


in a place that is all water? 


I must rest now. 


Oh to have a spot dry enough 


to recline upon comfortably!

M17SPID[]

Description: Another message from Lady Valerius to Colliard

Location: on the side of the channel, in a sewer beneath the Opera's basement, The Caverns ("Unknown→")

M17SPID location

Mr. Colliard: It is not enough 


to kill the spiders brazen enough to 


enter the basement; you must tell your 


men to descend into the sewers and below. 


They must kill every spider they see. 


They must search until no more spiders 


are found. It does not concern me if men 


are lost, or if they are afraid to 'venture 


past the sewers into the tunnels beyond.' 


If your men cannot complete this simple task, 


I will find men more suitable to the work. 


And are you so sure you can get other work, 


without a recommendation from the Opera? 


I think not. Report to me on the morrow 


regarding your progress.

M17SUNRM[]

Description: Raoul's secret diary

Location: on a table in a secret room

The Opera House, second floor

M17SUNRM location

I am beginning to suspect that I do not have revenge in my 

blood. For if I did, I would go now and steal from Lady Valerius 

all the contents of her office suite. She doesn't know about the 

secret passageway that leads there from the 2nd floor rotunda. She 

doesn't know about the key that works the lock. When she took 

over here and dismissed my whole staff, all knowledge of the 

secret passages and rooms left with us. I return here now and 

then to obtain provisions, always with the thought of exacting 

some revenge - but I fear I carry with me a terrible flaw - I 

do not have revenge in my blood. 


-Raoul.

M17WARN[]

Description: A warning the Keepers have written to those who dare enter the shrine

Location: in the chamber where the Water Talisman should be kept
