Fair enough. Thanks. :)Next note of business: Can Reggie offer to drive everyone up to Whitehall in his car? Assuming you're allowing him to have one as per what I wrote up in his background.

Absolutely. In fact as you all have Credit ratings between 10 and 49, you all have access to your own reliable vehicle and can make your own way or carpool as you wish. (On the subject of Credit Rating, I notice one or two of you don't have it in your skill list, so would be grateful if you could add it,)May 19, 2023 6:52 pm

Note Klein doesn't have any photos of the ring or the Blackwoods. Neither has he seen the ring so can offer no description of it.Here is the cellar and the map.

The resolution on the map is too low to make out any details smaller than the map title. Is it intended to be more than a prop?The cellar photo is good and creepy though.

Calvin has a fairly good knowledge of genies and related legends. Is there something in particular you wanted to know? Also, he has no memory of family curses or such.

Samuel is also good with carpooling if Reggie is offering. Fewer cars will attract less attention.

Having set out from Klein's office, you have arrived and looked around the main rooms of Blackwood's cabin, a small one-story house and found nothing of relevance to the case.
You find a couple of lanterns in the kitchen which you take to provide light in the cellar.
You are now looking through the trapdoor into the cellar, where the police says Rose's murder took place.
While looking into the cellar from the open trap door in the parlor, your view is extremely limited. Light from the parlor spills through the hatch illuminating a ladder, some shelving and the white shell and gravel floor. You can make out that the shelves hold jars, small boxes and other knick-knacks. Everything is covered in a thick layer of dust. You also note that the cellar has no lighting, so you will need to use your own lanterns and flashlights. Large cobwebs hang everywhere.
Decide who is carrying what and who is entering...

Dr. Shepard will drive himself to the cabin. He brings a lantern, but will not be first.

Reggie is happy to bring as many people in his car that want to carpool.
At the cabin, he carries a lantern and, being comfortable with crime scenes, leads the way into the cellar.

The stereotypical knowledge I have of Genies is that they are Arabic in origin, the creatures are incredibly powerful magic users, they offer 3 wishes to the person who releases them from captivity, and they often exploit the wording of the wish to screw people over. I'd be interested to know if I recall anything about outsmarting them or defending against them.
Everything looks so still, like it hasn't been disturbed in ages. It's hard to imagine a struggle that would leave a victim dead and an attacker covered in blood in a space so untouched. But we haven't found anything to tell us what happened leading up to the "event" up her. Seems all that's left is to go deeper.
Calvin looks really apprehensive as he tests out some weight on the first rung of the ladder. If things seem sturdy, he'll keep his flashlight on, put it in his jacket pocket, and descend the ladder with both hands on the side rails.

Reggie takes the lead and begins to descend the ladder, which seems sturdy, being bolted to the wall. He recognises the cellar from the photograph as the room where the murder allegedly took place. The floor, however, looks clean and white with no apparent signs of blood at all.
The ceiling is low within the cellar, only 7 feet high and as Reggie stops halfway down, sees the cellar is a large L shaped area. The walls are lined with shelves storing what looks like canned and jarred food, while small piles of junk are stored on the floor and against the walls.
As he gets close to the bottom, he notices the ladder extends down and into the crushed shell and gravel floor, rather than resting on top of it.

Reggie finds the buried stairs odd. Instead of stepping directly on the floor in front of the stairs, he steps off to the right side. He scans the shelves with the lantern, looking for anything unusual there. And he keeps an eye out for a shovel.

Reggie scans around as Calvin starts to climb down.
