Chief Ripley: , in Paris we’ve successfully discovered the Promethians are plotting their next attack here in Germany. You must stop them before it’s too late!

Chief Ripley: They almost got their hands on the sought-after Promethian manuscript, but thanks to you, , it’s safe with us.

Carmen: The Promethians are an ancient cult resurfacing after centuries of silence. We strongly suspect they’re responsible for two important people’s death so far.

Carmen: It’s also Oktoberfest. Coincidence? I think not!

Chief Ripley: Oktoberfest is a time-honored tradition in Germany where millions gather to drink beer and celebrate Bavarian culture.

Carmen: I’ve covered Oktoberfest before, it’s the perfect backdrop for an attack. We must keep a sharp eye out for anything suspicious!

Chief Ripley: Hans Vogel, the famous action movie star, is also in town. Bierburg is his hometown, but he left Germany fifteen years ago to make it big in LA.

Carmen: A celebrity of that stature will certainly attract a big crowd, something the Promethians might use to their advantage.

Chief Ripley: The center of the festivities is the village square. I suggest you begin there before the crowds arrive. , be safe and Godspeed!

Chapter 1
Investigate Village Square.

Carmen Martinez: Dang, , there’s a dead guy on this cuckoo clock!

Carmen: We got here early, but it’s still too late!

Carmen: Wait! That’s not just any guy. That’s… the movie star the Chief told us about, Hans Vogel! He’s been killed!

Carmen: A movie star dead on our watch! This is way too suspicious… I wonder if the Promethians are involved!

Carmen: I see you’re already onto something, ! That faded postcard showing the victim’s name might reveal something after you dust it.

Carmen: What’s on that photo you found? A cardboard cutout of our victim?

Carmen: A man put his face in the hole to take his picture with Vogel. You’re right, ! Let’s run this guy’s face through our database and see if there’s a match!

Carmen: Alright, , let’s get cracking! We have to get to the bottom of this!

Examine Unknown Man.

(Before examining Unknown Man)

Carmen: , let’s see if you can identify the man standing next to a cardboard image of our victim in this photo.

(After examining Unknown Man)

Carmen: The mystery man you identified in this photo is called Gunther Fritz.

Carmen: According to the database, he’s the National Sausage Eating Champion… and traveling nudist. Nasty! He comes to town every Oktoberfest for the sausage eating contest.

Carmen: He seems to be a fan of our victim. I say we pay Gunther a visit and see what we can find out!

Talk to Gunther Fritz about the fan photo with the victim.

Gunther: Was geht ab,  ? Would you like some sausage?

Carmen: Absolutely… not! And for the love of God, put some pants on!

Carmen: Mr Fritz, we’re investigating the murder of the movie star, Hans Vogel.

Gunther: Hans Vogel’s dead?! That’s crazy!

Carmen: You must be a big fan. We found you smiling in a photo next to a cardboard image of him.

Gunther: He went to the Oktoberfest beer hall yesterday, but I didn’t pay attention. I’m a fan, but I was busy preparing for the big sausage contest.

Carmen: So our victim was at the beer hall before he was murdered? Come on, , let’s check it out!

Investigate Beer Hall.

Carmen: Whoa, ! I’m surprised you found anything in this mess. The German sure know how to party!

Carmen: You think this torn poster can tell us something about our victim’s visit? Alright, , make it happen!

Carmen: And good idea grabbing that gift basket too! There’s got to be something in there.

Examine Torn Poster.

Carmen: Good work on that torn paper you found at the beer hall! It’s a poster with a photo of the victim standing next to what looks like the mayor.

Carmen: It says: “Mayoral Exclusive! A tell-all interview with Hans Vogel”!

Carmen: As a journalist, isn’t it strange for the mayor to do an interview? Unless she was doing it as a publicity stunt.

Carmen: I agree, ! We need to talk to Mayor Nagel asap!

Question Mayor Nagel about her interview with the victim.

Carmen: Mayor Nagel, I suppose you’ve heard the news about Hans Vogel?

Mayor Nagel: Isn’t it tragic,  ? Bierburg’s lost its hero! Who would do such a thing?

Carmen: That’s what <Rank> <Name> is investigating! Weren’t you planning to interview Hans Vogel? A bit strange for a mayor – isn’t that usually a journalist’s job?

Mayor Nagel: Ja, but Hans was like a son to me. When he told me he had an important secret to reveal, I decided I’d do the interview myself.

Carmen: What was the secret Hans wanted to share?

Mayor Nagel: I don’t know! He was killed before he could tell me!

Mayor Nagel: It was going to be a big event for him and our town, but now he’s gone! We will ALL miss him!

Examine Gift Basket.

Carmen: Good work getting through that basket you snagged at the beer hall, <Name>!

Carmen: Looks like you found a broken cookie. You know the drill. Let’s put it together!

Examine Broken Cookie.

Carmen: <Name>, the heart-shaped cookie you found in the beer hall has “Hans, I <3 you!” written on it. This was meant for our victim!

Carmen: It was signed by a certain Gretl. Whoever she is, she was clearly in love with our victim. A broken heart is never good… even if it’s a cookie.

Gretl: You found my cookie!

Carmen: You’re Gretl?! We’ll have to ask you a few questions about your broken heart… cookie.

Ask Gretl Beutelspracher about the broken heart cookie.

Gretl: I loved Hans my whole life! I can’t believe he’s dead. What will I do without him?

Carmen: We’re sorry for your loss, Ms Beutelspracher. That explains the broken heart cookie we found. Were you dating the victim?

Gretl: Words can’t define what we had. A match made in heaven! From the moment I saw Hans, I knew he was the one.

Carmen: Hans and Gretl. Cute. I don’t remember him mentioning you in his interviews.

Gretl: We kept our love private. Years of intimate history shouldn’t be exposed for the public.

Gretl: My love is gone! Now, I will have the kummerspeck!

Carmen: Yeah, I don’t know what that means… so, I’ll leave you to that.

Examine Faded Postcard.

Carmen: Pretty sharp, <Name>! You revealed a message on this postcard, addressed to the victim.

Carmen: The message reads: “Meet me here” and there seems to be some kind of code written on it. Any idea what it could mean, <Name>?

Carmen: Hmm, me neither. We should send this postcard to Elliot to see what he can dig up for us.
