// Haunting 101

TEXT_HC_H101_1  "You are ready for your field training, young Ghost Master. #We are taking you to the Kappa Lambda sorority house in Gravenville University. #Only a small number of sorority girls are in residence at the moment, but scaring them all away should be a sufficient test of your abilities.#"

TEXT_HAUNTING101_INTRO       "Drive the Kappa Lambda girls from their sorority house."

// Weird Seance

TEXT_HC_WS_1     "The smug and irritating youths of the Alpha Tau fraternity mock the supernatural and do not respect the dead. #One desires that they be made to experience the full power of the spirit world, and now an opportunity has arisen.#As the young mortals gather for a party, three socially maladjusted individuals are attempting a seance in the basement. #The members of the fraternity believe they are tuning up their generator, not calling upon the spirit world. #They are opening the door - you must not disappoint them. Everyone must be driven away in terror. #Then, they will know the true power of the supernatural."

TEXT_WEIRD_SEANCE_INTRO     "Drive the Alpha Tau fraternity from their frat house."

// Calamityville Horror

TEXT_HC_CH_1     "A sweet little old lady used to dwell within these walls, but her mind was fading and her sanity fleeting. #She loved receiving visitors, and hated to see them go. So she administered arsenic in their tea, and made certain they would stay a while... stay forever.#The house itself has become unsettled by these events, and although it is not truly sentient we still have a duty to protect the interests of the unseen world. #Let the events that have until now been hidden become known to the mortals - reveal the corpses to them and your goal shall be fulfilled, but beware, for one cadaver may not suffice to convince the sceptical police that something sinister is afoot."

TEXT_CALAMITYVILLE_HORROR_INTRO   "Reveal the hidden corpses to the mortals."

TEXT_HC_CH_3     "Without mortals, you will never be able to expose the corpses."

TEXT_HC_CH_4     "The mortal law enforcers have located a corpse. "

TEXT_HC_CH_5     "See that they discover another to complete your task."

TEXT_HC_CH_6     "The handyman has arrived - he may be useful in revealing the bodies."

TEXT_HC_CH_7     "The mortals have discovered a skeleton; now it must be shown to the police."

TEXT_HC_CH_8     "They have found a second corpse - show it to the police and victory shall be yours."

TEXT_HC_CH_9     "The Police have arrived - let them conduct their investigation."

TEXT_HC_CH_10   "The Police will report this body, but it will take the discovery of a second corpse to initiate a full investigation."

TEXT_HC_CH_11   "Oh dear! It seems the female teenage mortal has friends who dabble in the occult. These witches may be bothersome if you do not eliminate them!"

TEXT_HC_CH_12   "There can be no doubting your haunting skills - the house has been emptied of mortals. Sadly, this means that your mission has failed, as there is no-one left to discover the corpses."

// Summoners not included

TEXT_HC_SUM_1   "Your task is to summon the Darkling, an ancient spirit that was imprisoned in the woods centuries ago. However, we haunters cannot cast the rites of summoning; you will require mortals to carry out our bidding."

TEXT_HC_SUM_2A "A rash professor of the occult recently took a powerful arcane tome to his cabin in the woods. Not willing to risk his own soul, he has sent three corrupt researchers, rapt with deams of power, to attempt to locate the arcane book. They should be perfect for the task."

TEXT_HC_SUM_2B "A rash professor of the occult recently took a powerful tome to the woods with the goal of summoning an ancient spirit known as the Darkling. #Fleeing his cabin after disastrous initial experiments, he renewed his research at the University. #Three of his students, rapt with dreams of power, have stolen his notes and journeyed to the cabin intending to locate the arcane book for their own nefarious purposes. #Aid them in performing the summoning so we may recruit the Darkling for ourselves."

 

TEXT_SUMMONERS_INTRO "Trick the mortals into summoning the Darkling by using the ancient tome."

TEXT_HC_SUM_3B "Manipulate all three mortals into summoning the Darkling by using the ancient tome."

TEXT_HC_SUM_4   "Ghost Master! Do not allow the deranged Professor to foil our plans!"

TEXT_HC_SUM_5   "One of your summoners has fled, and without three, this haunting cannot succeed."

TEXT_HC_SUM_6   "The mortals have entered the cellar, but their searching skills are sadly inadequate. Perhaps it would help if the book could be moved."

TEXT_HC_SUM_7   "The ritual is complete, but the Darkling needs more souls to be freed. A task for later attention. For the time being, enjoy your victory."

// Deadfellas

TEXT_HC_DF_1      "Mortals are such pathetic, amusing creatures that we of the dead rarely feel the need to involve ourselves in their poorly justified beliefs - unless, of course those beliefs pertain to our existence. #Don Bartholomew, a criminal mortal of some self-importance, has been badmouthing the dead, claiming that 'there ain't such ting as ghosts'. #We ask that you persuade him to change his mind."

TEXT_DEADFELLAS_INTRO  "Don Bartholomew believes there are no ghosts - prove him wrong... make him believe."

TEXT_HC_DF_3      "Don Bartholomew has fled in terror - he will not deny our existence lightly in the future."

TEXT_HC_DF_4      "You will soon have forced Don Bartholomew to believe in the supernatural - you should conclude any other business before it is too late."

TEXT_HC_PG_1     "It seems that sinister events transpire around a certain family house in a certain suburb of Gravenville. #Your previous success brought to light the grisly antics of an unhinged old lady, but the grim history of this house stretches further into the past...#It seems that the house was built on the site of an ancient chicken burial ground - the pit for the Calamityville Poultry Slaughterhouse. So many turkeys and chickens were slain and thrown into the earth, their troubled essences await retribution. #The troubled mind of one Carol-Anne Hutz, a child who has already witnessed your terrible powers once, has become home for Hardboiled, a gestalt of the headless necks and ruffled feathers of the departed.#Aid this poltergeist in emptying the house of the taint of rational human presence and you will acquire a valuable new ally."
