Go To

The Hunters arrive at the Aquamarine City theme park in Kansas in the last stop for Agnes Leek's riddles to earn the anti mind reading potion. They start in the park's field of poppies but are halted when they find that one of the park's employees, Norm White, has been tied to a tree and pecked to death by crows.

Tropes:

  • Animal Assassin: The killer used a violence potion to make a murder of crows peck the life out of Norm.
  • Asshole Victim: Norm is revealed to be a bit of a jerk, but he's probably nowhere near as bad as his boss.
  • Bad Boss: Frankie in spades. He siced crows on Norm with a violence inducing elixir just because he wanted to quit the job.

  • Big "WHAT?!": Dolly has this reaction when Priya tells her and the player that the way to save Tutu is with an injection of vampire blood.
    Dolly: Sorry but WHAT?! Vampire blood? I don't know what drugs you're on, lady! But vampires don't exist! And I don't think I wanna leave my doggy with you!
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Frankie had Norm murdered with crows all because he wanted to resign from the job.
  • Magic Potion: More specifically, a violence including elixir the Killer concocted to make a murder of crows peck Norm to death.
