Quests from The Panic Room: House of Secrets

Ace and Bragger

Leonard: Tension increases, nearing the climax. Let's go to the library and see everything with our own eyes.

Task: Go through the library in the shadows mode.

Lynette: Well, Caleb, are you going to ask to see my cards? It is one or the other. You either go to the end or you will never know what I had in my hands?

Caleb: I will see your cards, Lynette. I call ten thousand.

The silence in the room was frightening. The spectators froze and a dozen of pairs of eyes were on the cards that were laid down on the table one by one. Caleb was first.

Ace of spades - the highest card.

Jack of clubs - a bragger which replaces any card.

The third card lingered in Caleb's fingers. A dramatic pause before the third ace? If so, Madame's chances are slim...

No. Ten of clubs. A light wave of disappointment rippled through the hall. Caleb had a pair made with a bragger, but it was a pair of aces. If he was right, and Madame only had a pair, the victory was most likely his. The next few seconds will decide the outcome.

Lynette's face was stony.

You completed Leonard's task You received some points of freedom and some tokens.

Leonard: Ace of spades and the tension is escalating. Ace, bragger and a ten... How do you know the rules, you ask? My consciousness prompted you. How did they get into my head? I do not know. Sometimes I think that I have forgotten how to remember. Now I always need someone to pull the memories out of my head. Right now it is you.
