The Fifth Annual Knottwood Christmas Party Adventure

Not everyone made it to the Fifth Annual Knottwood Christmas Party. Some, like the Glyndwyrs, the Dimple Twins and Bill Beasley, were visiting family elsewhere in (or out of) the country. Some, like Dr. David Wong and Nurse Cindy Barczynska, unfortunately had to WORK. And ONE poor fellow actually had the FLU...
POOR Charles!

The Asmundsens had checked into Knottwood Castle's Rose Room hoping for a quiet and romantic Christmas...
Alas... it was Not To Be!

POOR Charlie!)

Catriona leaves, and the room falls into silence. There is nothing to do but listen to the CLOCK tick...
Good idea...

Several hours LATER...
Don't SHOUT, Catriona!*

And to think Charles was hoping for some chicken noodle soup!

After hastily leaving to change into more comfortable clothes, Catriona joins the rest of her family at the PARTY, now in full swing downstairs...
What a lovely Party!


Meanwhile, all alone UPSTAIRS, Charlie lethargically opens his presents...
How THRILLING!

His second present seems no more exciting than the FIRST!
What WAS she *thinking!*

Hmm, he MUST be feeling better...

Awww, that's nice...

We ALL have our daydreams...

She DOES seem like a nice wee lassie...

Uh, you can?...

Charlie is still thinking about Avalon as he falls asleep...
Awww... sleepin' like a BABY...

He wakes abruptly to find the room bathed in an eerie GLOW...
Ooo, spooky...

It is his beloved wife, Catriona, but she looks... different
That's not NORMAL...

Why is she *glowing*?...

Charles stumbles blindly AFTER her...
Oooh, I don't LIKE this...

Where IS she?

All we can see is that eerie LIGHT...

The cold, dark passages blur into a confusing labyrinth of corridors. Charles falls farther and farther behind...
The light's gone OUT!

Suddenly...
The light's gone OUT!
What will HAPPEN to Charles Hesketh Asmundsen, millionaire dentist... lost, and all alone in the DARK?...
