TRANSCRIPT Congratulations detective, you survived your first room. You have officially begun your journey of salvation. You remind me somewhat of Odysseus in that way. Once regarded as a hero, but now just trying to find your way home. Will you be like Odysseus and wander in the abyss of my little trap for 10 years or will you find safe passage? I often pity Odysseus—if only he had lived in more modern times! A GPS would really have helped him; that and not angering the gods that is. But perhaps if you relive his journey, you will learn a thing or two about avoiding perils. On an unrelated note, I am sure you have heard of the Chimera: the ancient beast with the head of a lion, body of a goat, and tail of a serpent? If not, there is a convenient summary in your guidebook. In any case, what most people don’t know is that there were other iterations of the Chimera. I have found and supplied you with the ancient lost lab notes from the Primordial gods Erebus, Nyx, and Gaia. Apparently the three of them had a contest to determine who could create the most fearsome chimeric monster. Unfortunately, we don’t have written evidence of the finished products: that is where you come in. Can you decipher the clues and recreate their monsters? Find the right combinations and you will be enlightened. One wrong combination, however, and the consequences will be disastrous. Lastly, detective, I know you find yourself between a rock and a hard place right now. Ironically, that phrase has roots with Odysseus, as he found his ship between two sea monsters known as Scylla and Charybdis. Normally, this is not a position you want to find yourself in, but in this particular situation, I think you need to embrace it. You may now open the envelope labeled Room 2.
