From Brian Betts’s working notes, scanned flat. Open a page to read it full size.
A separate sheet, in pen on lined paper rather than the pencil and graph paper of the other pages. It holds a map of Ravenswood Swamp, a grid of squares from START to CASTLE HILL with a bottle and a hut marked. Below it are three notes that read like testing: a brass key that won’t fit the throne-room door, the monk still giving help “even if Piff is dead”, and “6506 – RUN 10 – there is no 10”.
