(You know it!)



You arrive before Leblanc the Liepard's mansion, and it's very easy to see the Liepard does extremely well for herself and has very expensive tastes. You start with searching the interior, and it becomes quick and obvious Leblanc only likes the finest furniture, carpeting, jewelry, and decor. Everything looks very expensive and you see she obviously lives like a queen.

It also seems like she doesn't mind living alone in the comforts of her near castle-like estate. You also see she has a passion for collections. Art collections, artifact collections, and other trinkets are displayed proudly as if her mansion was a museum, only no one else is allowed to view it save for her.

You find that Liepard keeps a diary, and as you flip through it and learn of her day to day living, there is one more recent entry that seems to catch your interest.

"I once again tried to talk to Blak today regarding his debts to me. Oh, the darling has no idea what's coming to him! He says the hotel isn't doing quite as well as it used to, but business is still business and that still marches on. He blames it on the Stalkers, as if I haven't heard that one before! Can't pay the debts? Blame the Stalkers. Can't earn enough income because your shabby hotel can't get clients? Blame the Stalkers. It does get so very tiring. I gave him another month, simply because sometimes the excuses can be a little entertaining.

Something else happened yesterday that's been strange. I had been in the backyard, enjoying some fresh air until I noticed something or someone had buried something in my yard right next to the well! The audacity! If someone buries something in my yard, it's instantly mine. So I dug it out and it looked like a coin! I thought it would be perfect for the collection if an appraiser felt it was worth anything.

But then, as soon as I pulled it out, I felt the most oddest, most disturbing feeling I've ever had. It was like waking up from a nightmare! I dropped it back in the hole and simply left it there. The filthy thing must be cursed or something. Whoever that miserable thing belongs to, they can keep it, but I want it out of my yard. I don't even want to touch it again.

I must leave off here, as I have some work to do."

You decide to search the exterior of the mansion, and most notably, you search by the well for this coin that Leblanc mentioned in her diary entry.

You find the hole that she must have dug out, as well as the mentioned coin. You sense a kind of disturbing darkness emanating from it, but you decide to take it out of the hole.

Leblanc's description of "waking up from a nightmare" feels quite accurate as you come in contact with the coin. It disturbs you for a moment, but you feel inclined to look it over.

On one side of the coin, there is a frantic and traumatized Pikachu being swallowed by hideous, enrapturing shadows. And on the reverse side, there is but one word:

DAMNATION

You take it with you, using a cloth to at least somewhat suppress the dark and infernal nature that comes from having direct contact with this coin...

Item: [Coin of Damnation] has been added to the Team Inventory.

You make your last search around the rest of the property, but nothing else seems to grab your attention or come across as suspicious...
