Quests from The Panic Room: House of Secrets

Advantageous offer

Nat: Hey, Feather, why are you not collecting pumpkins? Did Matt load you with a special task? And what did that crackpot threaten you with? "Put your best foot forward" — yes, that sounds like him. Let me help you. You’re going to the attic, yes? That’s right on my way, I’m going for pumpkins.

Task: Go through the attic in "cache" mode.

Nat enters the room right after you, slams the door abruptly and starts calling pumpkins the way people usually seek cats, only much louder.

Nat: Pumpkins! Pumpkins! Pumpkins!

To your surprise, the "spell" really worked. Pumpkins rolled out from the far corner of the room right under your feet.

Lance: T-that was pretty scary.

Lance is standing by the table, trying to hold the last pumpkin in his hands. The rest of them have dropped and are slowly rolling on the floor.

Lance: Just when I p-picked them all.

Nat: We’ll collect them again together and go halves. My partner doesn’t need pumpkins at all. She specializes in bones. Don’t even ask.

Lance: You can’t divide three pumpkins among two people.

Nat: Yes you can, if a good person offers you help. So you can thank him for participating. I take two, you take one.

Lance: T-that’s just absurd. Now we’ll not only follow orders of a maniac, but also start robbing each other? You can keep all t-the p-pumpkins. I’m out of this competition.

Lance throws the last pumpkin at Nat, who’s already picked two from the floor by then. The girl’s reflexes worked perfectly. Nat caught the one thrown at her, but dropped those already collected.

Nat looks at the spreading pulp at her feet and then forcefully throws the remaining pumpkin on the floor.

You completed Matt’s task and received some freedom points and some tokens

Nat: Foureyes is right. Lance, stop.
