The Story So Far[edit]

November 24, 192X[edit]

Richard Lacey arrives in Ebon Eaves along with the man he was hired to track down, Samuel Hale. Hale is the first in line (of only two surviving family members) to inherit Hale House. The mansion perches high above town on the rock formation after which Ebon Eaves is named.

Neither man having ever been to the town in the past, they stop at Thelma's Diner for brunch and to ask directions to the office of Nathaniel Jackson. There they make the acquaintance of Ephraim Smooth, who offers to walk them to the attorney's office/home. Ephraim and Richard chat over coffee as Samuel goes over the mountain of paperwork he needs to sign before coming into his inheritance.

Continuing to offer his services as a guide to the town, Ephraim accompanies the two newcomers up the steep, ill-kept road to Hale House.

While Ephraim and Richard go into Hale House, Lacey decides to poke around the grounds. He discovers a hidden path running at a steep angle down the cliff face below the mansion. Carefully descending, he discovers a niche in the cliff face. Inside, out of view of anyone above or below, he finds a large metal gate fastened to the rock but an elaborate padlock prevents further investigation.

Inside the house, Samuel notices an ancient photograph hanging on the wall. It depicts a US cavalry regiment, which Ephraim recognizes as the unit from the local legends - the one that vanished a century ago while escorting the gold shipment. Samuel is surprised to see that one of the officers, presumably an ancestor of his, looks exactly like him.

Continuing to explore his new home, Samuel decides to investigate the basement. Unfortunately, he loses his bearings in the dark and tumbles down the steps, knocking his head as he falls...
