(Well, the time has come for my Haunted Towers kill. I can’t believe I’ve been able to gather so many materials and have no one ask about them, but, I’ll take it. When I tried to kill in Shroom KG and when I tried to kill in Gloomy Manor… I ended up dead. But, this time, I’m confident things will go better.)

So, obviously, I’m starting in Room II. So, first, in my room, I want take my fishing net and flask of daffodil powder out of my bucket, and set them aside in the room. I will take my machete and some of the Lycopodium Powder and coat the machete in it. The hydrophobic properties of Lycopodium Powder should keep the machete from getting wet (within reason, of course, I don’t expect to completely submerge the thing and pull it out dry or anything crazy like that). After coating my machete, I’ll return it to my bucket with the flask of the remaining Lycopodium Powder. The flint-striker sitting in my bucket, I’ll take out and put in my pocket. Finally, I’m going to grab my bedsheet off my bed in Room II.

I’ll take my bucket and bedsheet and head out into the Hollow Tree (2F), then take the stairs down to the Hollow Tree (1F). I’ll cover myself with the bedsheet, using it as a makeshift raincoat, but I’ll hold the bucket outwards, just slightly out from under the bedsheet so that the bucket and its contents will get wet in the rain (except the Lycopodium Powder covered machete, of course…). Once I’ve covered myself, I’ll make a dash through the Courtyard to the Tower Lobby (1F). Inside, I’ll ball up my bedsheet and continue to carry it with me.

I’ll ascend the stairs to the Tower Lobby (2F), then I’ll proceed to the Plant Nursery. I’m then going to climb up to the Rumpus Room, pass through the Kitchen and the Family Room, and into the Solarium. I’ll climb part way up the Stairs, and then proceed to crouch down and wait. As I’m waiting, I’m going to take out my flask of Lycopodium Powder and remove the stopper so it’s ready to go, returning the stopper to my bucket.  I’ll also take the flint striker out of my pocket and have it ready in my other hand. Since I only have two hands, this is going to require that I set my bucket and bedsheet down on a nearby chair on the staircase. I want to simply wait until I hear someone approaching in the Solarium, either 3F or 4F. As soon as I hear someone, I’m going to rush up or down, as appropriate, and confront them. As soon as they’re within sight, I’m going to throw the flask and unleash a cloud of fine Lycopodium Powder at them. Now, Lycopodium Powder is well-known for its ability to ignite and rapidly burn when it’s a fine powder in the air (See here if necessary), so, immediately after throwing the powder, I’m going to use the flint striker to ignite the Lycopodium Powder cloud. Now, as I understand it, Lycopodium Powder explosions are very bright and sudden, but not very damaging. (As this little thing says, “the flame burns out too quickly to light any other combustible materials”) The point of all of this is to disorient my target, in hopes of them stumbling backwards and breaking through the glass walls of the Solarium. If they don’t fall by themselves, I’m going to tackle them hard while they’re dazed, relying on my high strength stat to knock them down hard enough and far enough to fall through the glass walls. Once my victim is gone, I’ll throw the now empty flask and the flint striker out through the same hole they fell through, then scramble to collect my bucket and bedsheet from the chair on which I left them.

Once I have my things, I’m going to hightail it past the Solarium (4F) and pass through the West Bedroom. I’ll pass through the West Hall, then continue dashing to the Crow’s Nest. I’m going to take my machete and the flask stopper out of the bucket, toss the flask stopper down to the Courtyard and tossing my bucket through the doorway into the Conservatory. I’ll keep my machete in my pocket from here out. Still on the Crow’s Nest, I’m going to peer over edge and look at the Skybridge and Courtyard. As soon as it seems I’m alone on the Crow’s Nest and can’t see anyone below, I’m going to once again place my bedsheet over me, just as I had previously, and jump off the Crow’s Nest down to the Courtyard, using my ability to “save myself from perilous falls” with my robot jet role thing. Down in the Courtyard, I want to run into the Hydro Generators, pass through it into the East Hall, then pass through it into the remains of the Gardener's Dwelling, stopping briefly to toss my soaked bedsheet into the Tool Shed. I want to take the trapdoor to the secret room below. At this point, in the secret room, I should have my machete in hand, and nothing else on me. At this point, I’ll clean off the Lycopodium Powder on the machete, wiping and blowing it off as necessary. I’ll then unplug the computer in the room and plug myself into the wall socket it was plugged into to bed down and charge for the night.

If I encounter anyone other than my potential victim, I’m going to simply ignore them and carry on with my plans. If I see any lone Polterpups, I’m going to do my best to simply avoid them and continue with my plans. No time for playing with the doggos when it’s a murderin’ night, after all!

(Whew, that was quite a bit of activity. I think I have a decent plan to run them around during the investigation, but we’ll have to see. I’m definitely pulling out all the stops with this one. I figure I can accomplish all of this with my high stamina stat, though. Also, since I move a ton of things around this night, I’m going to include a handy list of where I ultimately leave everything to try and help you keep track.)

Fishing Net and Flask of Daffodil Powder: Room II
Flint Striker and Empty Flask Formerly Containing Lycopodium Powder: Knocked out of Solarium with Victim, the latter wet from rain and the former dry until it gets knocked out
Bucket: Thrown into Conservatory from Crow’s Nest, wet from rain
Flask Stopper: Thrown down to Courtyard from Crow’s Nest, wet from rain
Machete: With me, in hand, in the room below the Gardener's Dwelling, dry from Lycopodium Coating
Bedsheet: Tossed into Tool Shed, wet from rain

(And I of course know that any and all of these circumstances and actions are subject to change based on other actions and host discretion about what events happen. I don’t mean to dictate how everything should be, just provide enough detail of so that you don’t get too lost in this whole mess of night actions. Anyhow, as always, best of luck!).

-Search Crypt and Graveyard for anything interesting
-If one person is there, kill them with the shard
-Go back upstairs to 4F
-If I killed, go wash off shard in West Bathroom and go repair vase in West Bedroom, putting the shard back in
-If not, search for somebody alone to kill in Conservatory or Lounge, then go back and wash/repair shard and vase
-After I repair the vase I'll go up to the Rooftop Pool and search for anything interesting there
-General note: the first time I see anybody else, I'll toss my knife away at them

- I had arranged to meet up with Meta Knight and Geeky in the Kitchen, so I will head there.
- I have to take a very long path to get there, though, since I'm in the Botany Lab and have to go up to the fourth floor to get the rooms on the third floor. Who designed this place?
- When I get to the Crow's Nest, I throw my shovel into the Courtyard. Don't need that anymore!

- Depending on when I arrive and where Meta Knight/Geeky were, I'll either arrive in the Kitchen before, at the same time, or after them. (Please don't kill me in the Kitchen, I don't want to die in the same room twice :bowser:)
- Once we're all in the same room, we start making a cake together. Using my Abilities, I'll make the cake to increase everyone's Stamina and Speed.
- We talk for a bit :3
- We each have a piece and leave the rest for someone else to find. Then I pal around with Meta Knight and Geeky for a bit.
- We try to find some kind of swimming gear in the Bedroom or surrounding rooms or something.
- I suggest we go to the Pool using the lift in the West Bathroom.
- We swim and lounge around for a bit. Should no swimming gear be found, I'll just strip to my pants and jump in anyway :P Not sure on Meta and Geeky (does Meta Knight even need any?).
- Once we've had our fun, I'll head back to my room because I haven't been there in a while. Meta Knight and Geeky are on their own. :dk:

Night 3
- Wait with Geeky on the Rooftop Pool for Alex to show up, and take the cake that he offers. Wait for him to leave again before further action. Eat a slice of the stat-boosting cake and hide the rest under a pool bench.
- Give Geeky the chain/leash and the backpack so that she can use it for defense.
- Have Zero follow me around throughout the night. If anyone threatens me, threaten them with the dog. If they try to attack still, have him attack them.
- Go to the Laboratories (2F) (Just me btw, not with Geeky). Wait for me to be alone in the room, and grab a gas mask to hide in my trench coat.
- Go into the Botany Lab and look for any sort of tranquilizing plants. Pocket one in the trench coat, but wait to be alone in the room before doing so. Additionally, test some of the plants on the Venus Fly Trap in this room to see if any of them put it to sleep. If it does, take some of the "plant sedation" drug. If the sleep plant and the sedation plant are one in the same, just carry a couple of them.
- Head down into the Toolshed and wait to be alone in the room. When this happens, grab a crowbar and hide it in my coat for extra defense. Threaten people with this as well if they try to attack.
- Go over to the Greenhouse. Throw the sedation plant at the Venus Fly Trap here to make it calm down. If I failed to get this from before, just be very careful to not get in its way. When I am alone in the room, put on the gas mask. Hide behind the door and wait for someone to show up. If they do, ambush them by making them fall asleep with the sleep plant.
- If one person is in the Greenhouse when I show up, put the gas mask on and put them to sleep, then calm the Venus Fly Trap down, then leave. If two or more people are here to start with, wait for them to leave and proceed with the former plan.
- Head up to the Skybridge. When I'm alone here, take the necklace off of Zero. Tell him to go down into the Courtyard and howl as loud as possible, and then come back. Put the necklace back on him.
- Quickly head out back into the Tower Lobby (2F). Hide if possible, but otherwise just wait for Geeky to show up. Follow her around for the rest of the night.

geeky

- Wait with Meta on the Rooftop pool for Alex, when he shows up I make sure to keep a careful eye on him.
- If he tries anything on Meta. I’m ready to intervene and protect him in whatever way I can.
- I take the chain that Meta offers me and then keep it securely on my person
- Then I kiss Meta and pet Zero making sure the two will be safe once I leave
- I go into the Rumpus Room undetected and make sure to grab a full face white okami kitsune mask with a black and gold kimono that wraps tightly around my body placing it over my red dress
- If I’m ever in any danger or attacked I pull out the chain and use it like a whip in case someone were to attack me
- I make my way to the Tool Shed and grab motor oil (if there isn’t any motor oil just any type of oil that can cause a combustion) and a lighter placing them inside the pink fairy princess backpack
- I then hang around near the Courtyard and then once I hear Zero howl I swiftly run off so that anyone that’s passing me just sees a black, gold and white blurr get into the Greenhouse. Once I enter I remove my mask and stalk my way towards the sleeping corpse. If the giant Venus Fly Trap is not seditated I very carefully hurl the body towards the plant making sure it lands right in front of it and once it’s distracred I create a large puddle of oil and then drop the lighter removing my figure and then promptly make my way out
- If the plant is seditated I make my way in. I open the backpack and then create a large puddle of oil and then drop my lighter after that I make sure the fire spreads and then undisguise myself making my way out
-After that I quickly wrap the chain tightly around the door handle so that no one escapes
- I then make my way out into the Tower Lobby when the coast is clear. I automatically hug onto Meta and then I remove my backpack to get my water bottles and promptly drink from them.
- I then tackle Meta in a surprise hug and then continue to hug off him tugging him away to retrieve the cake from the Rooftop’s Pool Closet.
- After that we make our way down to my room where we retire for the night

*If the crypt's E-Gate is turned on, I go through it, exploring the Secret Mine. I try and get to the E-Gate that leads to the E-Gate below the Gardener's Dwelling.
*I then take some shrapnel and put it in my pocket. I'm looking for a piece large enough to slice someone with, but small enough to conceal from others.
*I then wait in the Dwelling for someone to come in. If the first person that comes in is alone, I surprise attack them with the shrapnel and slice their throat with it. I then leave the shrapnel in the room and go back through the E-Gate, and then continue with the set of actions below starting with 'I explore the Secret Mine'.

*If the E-Gate is closed, I ignore the above set of actions and go straight to the Gardener's Dwelling, and hop through the E-Gate. I explore the Secret Mine, doing everything I can to get to the Workshop- taking the Gondola, High Wires, restoring power, anything. If I can't get there, I instead go as deep down as possible, down that ice slide thing. You know the drill- those Shards are gonna be MINE.

*Also I take Alexa with me so I can tell when someone dies. If I get the chance to kill someone I throw Alexa down an E-Gate before going through with the slicing.

-go to the pool where I chill for a while
-draw something on the canvas from the Crypt
-grab a hammer from the Tool Shed and some string and tape from some room I pass during the first two items and make a trap in the Hotel Lobby. I attach the tip of the hammer handle to the ceiling, and when someone opens the door, the doorknob will pull the string attached to the hammer, and it'll come swinging down from the ceiling
-lastly I challenge someone to a round of guitar hero in the Lounge, and I go to sleep
