History
Book 5
The Butcher’s Masquerade
Nadia brings the Hammer of Fast Forward, and Dmitri Popov brings the Stick of Cascadia’s Screams. Neither appears useful as an ordinary weapon. A coded message uncovered with Escape Plan points Carl toward future allies, information in the Cookbook and seven objects on the seventh floor.
Carl arranges the wand, recharge scroll, music and tools with Samantha and Katia. The room’s overlapping spaces make this difficult: a performer can appear beside an object without being able to touch it.[2]

Book 5
The Butcher’s Masquerade
Kiwi uses the recharged wand during Tina’s recital. The hammer and stick have another purpose. Afterward, Prepotente uses them with a potion to destroy the seventh-floor maze and force a shortcut.[3]
