A Dark Discovery

What she saw made her squeal in terror. The cavern was full of dead men. No, not men, she thought, clowns. The clowns lay frozen in various poses of pain and anguish, their bright silks and painted noses as colourful as the day they died. Some of them clutched weapons, as if they had meant to fight, but there were no wounds evident on their bodies.

"Ecco! Come in, Ecco!" her radio crackled with Mr. Costeau's voice. "Where are you? Are you okay?"

"I-I'm allright." Ecco said, shivering. "I took cover in a cave, but there are all these dead clowns..."

"Ecco, listen carefully, you are in great danger. You've got to get out of there, AARRRGGHH!!!"

"Mr. Costeau!! Mr. Costeau!" Ecco shrieked, but there was no answer, only a deep rasping breathing sound on the other end, and then silence. Mr. Costeau's death scream echoed in her ears. What was going on?"

1. Try to talk to whoever's on the other end of the radio.
2. Search the dead clowns' bodies.
3. Proceed further into the cave.
