I’ve been wandering around the Catacombs, basically looking for the Jar that holds the Key to the World Below.
The name Catacombs is an odd one for these voluminous caverns that exist below the Mansion. They aren’t man-made, for one, which is basically what a catacomb is… a man-made subterranean passageway for religious practises, or for a burial site. There isn’t any sign of this type of activity taking place down there, anyway. And the sign that used to hang on the Cellar door that said ‘This way to the Catacombs’ gave no indication of this either.
Besides, the Catacombs look like large caves. Large holes underground, actually, with the largest (and warmest!) hole being beneath the lot.
The fact that the Catacombs aren’t man-made is obvious; however there’s nothing to say that they weren’t Mansion-made. And if the Mansion wants them to be called the Catacombs, as per the old sign, who am I to argue?
I haven’t found the Jar yet, but I did find another old sign that read, ominously, ‘This way to the Catacombs’… which makes me think that there is more than one way into them.
Another Cellar perhaps? It isn’t entirely unlikely that the Mansion has kept this hidden, what with its track record…
