Tomb Raider: Path of the Black Alchemist...
...is bloody amazing!
I just finished reading it this morning (I am the slowest reader on the planet but I devoured this book within two and a half days) and I am exhilarated to the bones while my heart aches, longing for mooooore.
This is hands down the best book I've read this year, and I can not wait to get my hands on the third book (which is coming hopefully by the end of this year, according to Jenni Milwards website!).
Without spoiling any contents, I just want to say: if you have any interest in AoD what so ever, this book is worth picking up for sure.
And if you are, like me, a long time fan of AoD you're in for a treat, love! But be warned: it will leave you breathless and with a hole in your heart in the shape of book three.
Jenni, if you ever read this: from the depths of my heart, thank you! <3

I got some additional information on the "Proto Nephilim" I could fill a whole book about it and people would still call it made up. Listen: I don't know if is is made up, and just used as a threat to the people here, and as a token to explain Eckhardt's evilness and whatnot, but I want to take notes throughout my journey. And maybe figure out if this was a fever dream afterwards.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Transcript of the first and second page: The name of this thing comes from "protos" meaning "first" and "nephilim", refering to Nephilim, the descendants of humans and angels. I took some photos from the file cabinets and soem descriptions, too. I don't know how much fanfiction this is, but apparently they really did experiments on random people. If I'm able to reverse image search the first drawing correctly, it is the skull of an ape, but the teeth are so long they resemble carnivorous fangs. A chimera perhaps? Sadly, I cannot read the text written next to it. So, according to some notes I can decipher or pretend I can the left is a human skeleton and the right is the Proto- it looks ape-ish? The drawn foot on the left is clearly a human's, the right has fingers and a thumb liek a primate. The fingers are way too elongated for a normal ape and it's not human either. The notes in a file talk about the left being a homo sapiens and the right a homo nephili, according to the man in the cell he carried the remains of the Proto "in his truck". Was this some way to resurrect it? Breeding it with a closely related species?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Transcript of the third and fourth page: Here's a sketc of ...bones, and I hope only bones. Not sure of they found these arranged already or tried to mix and match them, but this is what came out. My paranoia asks me whether they have kept this thing inside the cage dangling above an abyss? This skeleton was supposedly inside a truck (the inmate one's) and was carried all the way from Cappadocia, Turkey, to the Czech Republic. They probably found the remains closely together (as scribbled in the left corner) so they could put it back together, correct or not. Skeletons usually don't have flesh, otherwise they'd be mummies, thus there is no DNA. I can only speculate:
1. Remains of the Proto are found and carried to Prague. 2. They actually have DNA, thus flesh, this either a bit of cells or a whole fucking corpse 3. They succeed in breeding the Proto, the first Nephilim-thing, on the left 4. ??? 5. They capture random men, inject them with Nephilim-DNA, and hope to not create maniacs, but actual Nephilim descendants.
Yeah sounds like straight out of a science fiction novel.
Tumblr media
Transcript of the fifth page: Okay, I can only assume the thing this man (Kurtis probably) was asking the truck driver was about the Proto, which escaped (remember the woman saying she didn't kill the experiment?) and it was only to be killed with a Periapt Shard. Which Kurtis should own which makes him capable of killing this thing.
THEORY: Shards are inherited from father to son. The dude MUST be a member of the Lux vertatis. Thus: is really likely to be Kurtis Trent. And if it's him having the shard or shards, hunting down a thing, it surely needs to have ties to Eckhardt that Kurtis HAS to know about. But does Miss Croft?
Tumblr media
Transcript of the sixth page: I kept on walking, through doors and compelexes. Currently, I am not too sure where I am now, but I found an elevator. The electricity is back on, so I think I'll give it a shot. Where am I even going now? Okay, I know less than before. The doors are all metal and open sideways, it feels like I'm in a new place. A whole new wooorld! Jokes aside. I think I can hear water now. My ID card works, thankfully, but I want to get back to the surface again, to be honest. I went down three floors and there's some panels in here which says stuff like "security levels one and two" and "feeding program". I'm heading further out, the security cameras are showing something like a pond?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Transcript of the seventh and eighth page: There is a giant fucking fish with teeth in the pond what. the fuck I swear I pinched myselfa bout ten times. The security camera has footage of a giant golden fish, the pool is filled with a red something. I think I can see chunks of meat swimming in there? Is this the feeding program? Yeah I'm not going in there. Can this thing jump? I'm better off watching the cameras all day and look through the desks and cupboards here. Does this thing even sleep? What on earth is this?? You see the eyes of this thing?? And the teeth? Oh god. I'm trying to talk myself down. I'll read some on the things here. Rationalize. I cannot stop here, I'm not done yet.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Transcript of the ninth and tenth page: Yeah I just descided to not look at the cameras anymore but search this place. These files here were in a folder in a cupboard. I think this is this big fish-dinosaur-hopefully not another Nephilim-thing. It looks like it has four horns, or two horns and two gigantic fangs. It has rows of teeth, which remind me of sharks. It could be some ancient thing, the files were labelled "leviathan". I know it's a biblical thing, and since we'ret alking about reviving the Nephilim race, why not revive Leviathan also? I wish I could read what's written here. It shows again a skeleton and some measurements of this thing.
Tumblr media
Transcript of the eleventh page: So, about the Leviathan: the name is Hebrew and means "the twisting". It looks like a crocodile, a dragon, a snake and a whale. It's supposed to eat sinners on doomsday. God made Leviathan to play after being busy with writing the Tora and judgeing the world. its history is told in the Jewish Kabbalah (=mysticism) where Jonah is being swallowed by her. Christianity turned her into the embodiment of ecil, Satanism uses the name "Leviathan" in its sigil.
UPDATE: I'm ready to pass the pool. The thing is busy with food until now. I'll try to get to one of the open doors since there has to be a way out!
For now, I wish for a few things...let me wish. Let me make a wish. I wish for a warm chamber, with a palce to sit and rest, maybe a crackling fire, some books, maybe some friendly company. I made a wish, and now I hope one door will lead me somewhere...cozy.

Tomb Raider 25th Anniversary - Making Plans
Some more Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness fanart! Here we have Kurtis! I like to think he did a lot of research before the events of AOD, preparing himself to take on the Cabal! I had fun adding all the little references in the BG! :D

“The Exhibition of Archaeology was actually a series of lectures about recent discoveries given over that week, and were closed that night with a gala dinner. Lara did attend them not because she liked the pomp, but because it was a unique opportunity to reconnect with old friends, who used to be scattered around the world. So, Lara was greeting with multiple languages to different personalities from the world of archaeology, followed at a safe distance by Selma, who was also much needed and welcomed by her work in the Middle East. “Well, Croft, I won’t know what to do if you keep showing yourself so prettily!” Who had spoken was no one other than Charles Kane, who came to her and kissed her fraternally. “What are you doing here?” Lara said. “I thought you hated social events.” “You hate them too and here you are.” He guffawed.“
LILITH’S SCEPTER, chapter 4, The Periapt Shard
Thanks to @adayka for another wonderful drawing for my fanfic, this time showing Lara in her night dress as we knew her in Tomb Raider Chronicles, only that this time I wanted to give her a more elaborated hairstyle. Thank you darling 😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘

Trinkets, Necklaces, 3: Whether they’re pendants, amulets, periapts, chokers, beaded strings, chains, charms, lockets or torques, “Neck Slot” type jewelry is a very common item in fiction and roleplaying. These ornaments give an immediate glance into the bearer’s personality, wealth, rank or social class and  often serves as an iconic part of that character’s look. Ranging in obviousness from a soldiers dog tags, cleric’s holy symbol or police detectives badges worn front and center over clothing, immediately visible on their chest as a clear indication of who they are, to the cliché locket containing pictures of family or lost lovers that’s worn against the skin, just over the heart. Outgoing character’s such as Phoebe Bouffette compliment their natural charisma with loud colorful costume jewelry while more reserved examples often go without, though what little ornamentation they do have is meaningful or of good quality like Katara’s heirloom choker or Annie’s half-a-locket. A locked metal torque can instantly mark the bearer a penniless slave, while a string of lustrous pearls mark their owner a flauntingly wealthy noble. Magical necklaces in fiction are powerful and mysterious from Inuyasha’s Beads of Subjugation, Dr Strange’s Eye of Agamotto or Yugi’s Millennium Puzzle. None of these necklaces are intensely magical in their own right but can serve as basis for a magical or plot relevant amulet. When a DM rolls a d100, the bog standard amulet of protection +1 they were going to give out now has a unique look and personality rather than just a mechanical benefit.
An ornate necklace with a star made of obsidian sparkling with a multitude of tiny diamonds embedded in it. The star is impressively cut; its six rays reached right around the polished hemisphere, and their intersection floats just above the surface.
A small, crudely made vine necklace with a locket made of hardened mushroom. Within the locket rests a glowing green seal made of soft moss that represents a proud guardian of the natural cycle or one who has sold her soul to darkness for eternal life, depending on the observer’s point of view. Knowledgeable PC’s will know that the symbol belongs to an influential guild known as the Golgari Swarm. The guild is the embodiment of life and death and the teeming masses of the Swarm believe that both are natural and equally essential too. To them, life and death are natural elements of a cycle with no intermediary break. A locket like this is usually given to those who have performed amazing feats for the Swarm.
An amber disk carved in deep relief on one side, its edge guarded by a hoop of gold, the whole thing strung on a golden chain. Knowledgeable PC’s will recognize the object as the official seal of the abbess of a remote convent of militant nuns.
A uniquely designed onyx amulet with a pattern of raised curving line on the front surrounding a central dome. On the back of the object have been inscribed a few calligraphed lines that form either a poem or a warning. “Mindless rage will shake the world, Cunning lies will bend it. Reckless haste will break the world, And into darkness send it.”
A misshapen amulet that appears to represent some sort of weird... thing. It's impossible to get a good grasp of its exact shape or dimensions, and its geometry may not be entirely euclidean. Attempting prolonged gazes at the eldritch object or studying it in detail produces headaches, fleeting visions of alien hellscapes and temporary short term memory loss.
A pretty necklace consisting of a sapphire strung on a silver chain. On close inspection, an observer can tell the gemstone has a pocked of air trapped within it. Knowledgeable PC's will know that this phenomenon is known as an inclusion and is used in some circles as a ward against curses. The pendant smells of juniper, broom and aspen.
A hexagonal, purple crystalline stick with an indent at the bottom that hides a pattern of raised notches. The top has an enclosing eye-hook with a string, making it a decorative necklace that may double as a key.
A boar shaped amulet, made from the tusk of a wild pig.
An amulet fashioned from a piece of stone the size of a human fist, held by a worn leather thong. It is all that remains of the cairn of Saint Placys, a herald for an ancient and forgotten God of Death.
A small locket designed for a noblewoman, with small painted portraits of her and her husband on the inside… and an even smaller portrait of her secret lover, in a hidden compartment positioned closest to her own heart.
—Keep reading for 90 more necklaces.
—Note: The previous 10 items are repeated for easier rolling on a d100.

A small locket designed for a noblewoman, with small painted portraits of her and her husband on the inside… and an even smaller portrait of her secret lover, in a hidden compartment positioned closest to her own heart.
A mundane piece of tribal jewelry which incorporates small amounts of animal fur, teeth, claws, and bones into the design. It sports carvings of predators etched into the side and can be worn as a heavy necklace.
A sculpted oak pendant inset with a stone of teardrop-shaped marble.
A medallion that appears to be made of barely  contained, pure magic. The wild arcane energy is old and must have been caged in times of legend when Primordials and Gods roamed the land fighting for control of the future. When touched the magic surges and the bearer can feel the ancient wards strengthen in response, preventing the medallion from exploding.
An orcish necklace consisting of the teeth of a legendary berserker strung on a leather cord.
A necklace made from pewter chain with a lead pendant that depicts the image of the minor God of a Random Evil Domain.
An amulet consisting of a tangle of vines around a smooth amber core. When viewed from the proper angle it takes the shape of a dragon's eye.
A silver chain from which hangs a marvelous, bright blue gem the size of a human palm. In the center of the jewel rests a clear liquid.
A decorative gorget made of painted porcupine quills. A single bear claw hangs down from the center of the front.
A fine chain necklace fashioned from links of some strange red metal. The chain retains body heat for an unusually long time.
A chain necklace with a small painting decorating its oval pendant. The painting is extremely detailed and displays what appears to be a king on a throne. While wearing the pendant, the bearer occasionally experiences the vague feeling of not being where they are supposed to be.
A wooden necklace in the shape of an inverted pentagram that becomes extremely warm to the touch when exposed to fresh blood.
A necklace bearing a small pendant made from 1000 year bog oak. The jewelry serves as a literal shard of history, as the wood was naturally pickled and preserved over many centuries. The oak has compressed and darkened, becoming as hard as a stone as it's slowly been fossilized. Traces of silver have grown into the cracks and crevices, contrasting with the now blackened wood and accentuates its aged surface detail. The silvery, stony wood is set on a base plate of copper.
A large bone medallion in which is carved the image of a black cat standing silhouetted on a droughted grass hilltop, staring up at swarms of blood-red crows undulating in an ever-darkening sky. A creature who stares directly at the grisly scene feels a sense of dread overcome them and sees the world as a dimmer and scarier place until they break eye contact with the carving.
A fine, unassuming silver chain, bearing a single arrowhead shaped jewel. While worn, it stirs thoughts of legendary battles and heroic deeds.
A heavy silver heart shaped locket, engraved with a pattern of thorns. Although it has visible hinges, the pendant refuses to unfasten despite all attempts to pry or coax it open.
A necklace of iron shaped into a pattern of thorns.
A small charm on a leather cord. The charm looks to be of an ever shifting blue grey material, but it is solid to the touch.
A pendant consisting of a small glass vial containing a human tooth, carved into the shape of a heart.
A necklace with five interlocking golden rings integrated into the chain. Each ring is surrounded by tiny semi-precious gemstones.
A necklace with a pendant on it that has an arrow engraved into it. No matter how it is held, the arrow always points to the sky.
A slate grey locket that has unreadable script on the outside. The locket is sealed shut and it sounds like there's something lightly scraping against the inside...
A pendent with a red spider lily embedded in resin. It starts to glow when someone close to the bearer will never be seen again.
An amulet of amber with a tiny forget-me-not flower stuck inside of it. It glows orange when the bearer thinks of someone they lost.
A gold rimmed, silver amulet with a four-leafed clover etched into one side.
A step-cut ruby in a silver setting, suspended on a fine cord.
A pendant consisting of a clear crystal like a large drop of water, strung on a complex, thin gold chain.
A thick necklace made of polished copper supporting a dozen carefully matched and cut pieces of hematite stones.
A druid’s necklace consisting of four acorns carved from amber, strung together with a cord that resembles interwoven roots. Each acorn contains a small piece of elemental matter, one for each of the four elements: air, earth, fire, and water.
A small green and square emerald strung on a simple pewter necklace.
A hand carved heart pendant that's warm to the touch. If placed close to one's ear they can hear a soft but steady heartbeat.
A narwhal shaped pendent, made from whale horn.
A bejeweled pendant in the shape of a desert scarab. The gemstones twinkle in dim lighting, inviting its bearer to dream of higher ambitions.
A coral cameo pendant on a string of river pearls.
A silver pendant, sans chain, shaped like a cone snail's shell. There is a hole beside the chain loop, but no stopper within. Inside, the shell is hollow. Close inspection reveals that the shell culminates in a very sharp, short needle. Fluids placed in the shell well at the needle's vicious end.
An operculum pendant on a fragment of silver chain. The whorl of the operculum is filled with bright leading. The reverse side is carved with a knot of engraved text in block letters; a language unknown.
A toadstone, brown, nearly circular, wrapped in dull lead wire. A loop is spun into the wire, and a new leather thong is tied through the loop, allowing it to be worn as a pendant. A symbol is carved on the stone's bottom; that of a curled, bat-winged serpent.
An amulet of invocation made of copper, stamped with the symbol of the ancient druidic rune for winter. Knowledgeable PC’s will recognize the pendant as proof of membership of The Pale Brotherhood of Eternal Winter a sinister organization that once invoking the presence of Laphela, the Marchioness of Cursed, the Dread Succubus to further their goal of cold misery across the world.
A malevolent amulet made of demon horn, carved into the holy symbol of the God of Random Evil Domain
A necklace of carved golden birch pieces on a thong that is made to wrap around the bearer's neck several times.
A silver medallion that bears the image of an hourglass, each grain of sand a tiny encrusted chip of topaz.
A silver pendant that hangs off a silver chain that houses a tiny cabochon ruby that has been pierced by an even smaller dagger.
A simple necklace consisting of a copper chain with six coin-sized copper dragon scales affixed to it.
A necklace that’s little more than seven brightly polished coils of copper wire strung together.
A bronze necklace formed in the shape of a roaring draconic head embedded with sparkling ruby eyes.
A pendant consisting of a faintly glowing rough stone suspended in a filigree cage hanging from a thin golden chain.
An amulet carved from old ivory polished to a silky finish. It has been carved to resemble a boar suckling a human babe, a bear cub, and a hound. It used to be a cloak pin, but the spur of bone that acted as a pin is broken off and a hole has been bored through the boar’s spine. Its hollow eyes once held gems, and one of the tusks is broken off, but the boar’s hooves are still rimmed in gold.
A scratched and dented locket which, when opened, appears to contain a much larger space.
A tarnished tin pendant with a constellation marked on it that dangles from woven a horsehair necklace.
A necklace of human toe bones all pierced through a necklace of dried intestines.
A gold pendant with an ivory mosaic depicting a kobold beneath a halo.
A turquoise and silver pendant depicting a medusa looking in a mirror. Making eye contact with the medusa’s image makes an observer’s muscles feel stiff and cramped.
An onyx cameo depicting three lambs being eaten by wolves.
A copper medallion in the form of an ankh cross set with zircon.
A rusted iron medallion, on which is displayed a burning star inside a triangle.
A medallion consisting of a golden oval, enameled with a blue dolphin nageant, strung on a chain.
A moonstone of unusual size and translucency set in an amulet. When the night sky is viewed through the stone, the constellations may be seen in sharp relief and are instantly recognizable even to someone unfamiliar with astronomy or astrology.  
A silver medallion with dwarven heraldry bearing a frothy mug, a hammer, and the symbol of a dwarven god. A PC well versed in religion or history can tell that this medallion once belonged to Thoradrim, a legendary paladin imprisoned by angels after falling into disfavor with his god.
A worn, roughhewn oak pendant of unknown origin is carved in the image of a snake eating its tail, surrounding an egg. About a fourth of the pendant is covered with a band of many small green sprouts working their way out of the cracks in the old wood, while the rest is warped, dry, and remarkably aged. The pendant hangs from a wooden chain necklace that loops from a gap in the snake’s mouth. If observed over the course of a lunar month, the sprouts continually shrink back and grow anew, the band revolving slowly around the pendant’s surface.
A disk wrought from reddish metal and embossed with a skull-like visage on the front, the medallion hangs from a rusty chain that catches and pulls the hairs from the neck of anyone wearing it. When inspected in moonlight, the medallion gleams with baleful light.
A bone necklace with teeth upon it that chatter randomly. The bearer can hear a mix of languages and animal sounds emanating from it, but never quite makes out what specific creatures or even a single clear word.
A wiry necklace with one red pearl attached to a metal ring, two identical rings hang empty as if the pearls were taken.
A copper colored amulet, with a reflective diamond inlaid. The diamond is perfectly split into four parts, looking as if it has been broken. In Elvish, the words "Break, lest you be broken" are carved around the gem.
A bronze necklace with a sparkling blue crescent moon and overlapping bronze dragon pendant.
A pendant composed of a thin string holding a steel clasp which holds a small glossy black and green pearl.
An amulet bearing an ornate eye-in-pyramid sigil surrounded by mathematical formulae. After the amulet has been worn for a week, the bearer's eyes will become yellowed and reptilian, and remain so even if the amulet is lost or removed. After a month of wear, the bearer may start to notice scuttling red creatures at the corners of their vision...
A faux bronze medallion bearing a stylized sunburst design and an image of a runner on the sun. Engraved on the back is the phrase "Thank you for Participating!"
A miniature human skull encased in amber, roughly the size of a coin, on a chain to be worn about the neck. The bearer suffers nightmares that he doesn't remember, and in his sleep whispers the secrets of anyone near.
An amulet with two charms hanging from its chain, one a white open palm and the other a red closed fist.
An engraved bronze amulet caging a strange, forgotten spirit.
An ornate amulet composed of dozens of overlaid golden plates which resemble scales. A single red coral gem, two inches long, is set in the collar and almost seems to smolder with an intense heat.
A golden amulet stamped with the coat of arms of a major trading guild.
A piece of jewelery that appears to be a delicate diamond-shaped piece of polished copper, engraved with a design of three closed, long-lashed human eyes set in a triangle, hung around a small-linked necklace chain.
A ring-shaped amulet made of a milky blue gemstone. A thin gold chain loops through the hole in the center. The chain emerging from the front of the amulet is twice as thick as the chain entering the hole in the back of it.
A large, pearly-white conch shell that has a light seaweed core attached to it so that it can be worn around the neck.
A cheap necklace made of what appears to be brass. From it hang three gems, a moss agate, a blue quartz and a piece of malachite. Each gem is actually worth a fair bit if removed from their mounts. The necklace is of such poor quality that it actually makes the gems look cheaper than they are.
A ram shaped medallion, made from the horn of the animal that it resembles.
A teardrop shaped pendant composed of snowy white quartz shot through with delicate veins of pale rose.
A crystal pendant that refracts the light strangely and has an odd dark deposit at its center.
A visually impressive amulet consisting of jasper and jade with a leather strap. Even a non-wizard who dons the item can feel a tingling sensation of its power when worn.
A pendant composed of a thin string holding a steel clasp which holds a small glossy black and green pearl. If inspected the bearer can see a small figure inside the pearl but not what it is.
A small figurine of an elephant carved from a sharp cornered square of jade. Where the eyes of the elephant would be a hole has been drilled all the way through allowing the figurine to dangle from a piece of twine.
A priest's necklace made of woven leather straps, with semiprecious stone beads forming the holy symbol of the God of Random Domain.
An amber pendant, carved to resemble an anchor.
A beautiful, glittering emerald is set within the center of a silver chain necklace that hums with power and possibility.
An enlarged, floating snowflake magically held in place on a silver chain. The crystalline amulet is cold to the touch, its shape shimmering and slowly reforming in a fractal kaleidoscope of patterns.
A necklace with rough cut stones and glass strung on it. It causes the bearer to feel comfortable in all social situations regardless how awkward.
A small copper locket which when opened reveals a small insignia made of bolts of electricity arcing in the open space. The locket can be opened from either side.
A golden pendant bearing a precisely carved leaf design that holds a large sapphire. On the back is inscribed the name “Skrotkinrun”.
A small golden locket, delicately engraved with elven designs. The bearer is randomly filled with unexpected sadness while holding the object. Popping open the small clasp causes the bearer to be overcome with grief at the sight of the portrait inside; a youthful blonde woman with a hopeful smile.
A simple silver chain decorated with an aquamarine in an elegant teardrop setting. When worn, it transforms into an ornament that complements whatever outfit you are currently wearing. Although the amulet always takes the form of a neck adornment, it can appear as simple or glamorous as required by the bearer’s outfit.

“...picked it up in the Louvre yes...after you stole MY painting.”
-Lara Croft
After a million years I found my drawing tablet in the drawer and really felt like doing something with it. So here’s the result.
The airlock scene (one of my favorites <3) drawn over a screenshot from the game.
I used to feel like a fraud drawing over screenshots but it actually really helps me figure out poses, perspectives and stuff. It helps me a lot and I do enjoy it. 
Also: LARTIS FOREVER BITCHEZZ <3 xD

I can tell you're impressed I'm still writing even though I mentioned I'll go to a dead man's place and rob him of knowledge and any funny Obscura Painting he might have. I got more information on three people from the dossiers and can add them to my stash of "what on earth are they doing"-possibly-fanclub-of-Eckhardt.

Transcript of the first and second page: Kristina Boaz: - born 1959 in Argentinia, is Argentinian - has had a plane crash which was in Argentinian news where she is popular doctor, and barely survived; has scars from that - made some experiments in the Sanitarium which is somewhere in Prague, presumably at a university - worked a while with Grant Muller
Marten Gunderson: - Amsterdam in the Netherlands has a search warrant on his name - his company logo is a lion head with a snake (I think) - has to know Kurtis Trent if my theory is correct
Joachim Karel: - name is German, but he has officially no ties to Germany - there are no photos of him without gloves for some reason?
Bouchard is more involved in this han I initially assumed. Out of my hotel room, I saw a truck with this emblem that looks a but like Gunderson's, doesn't it? Also, this truck could drive somewhere here. I should ask Luddick of he wants to trail it, maybe I can convince him.

Transcript of the third and fourth page: Here's the fun part, I broke into Vasiley's place. As expected, I was not the first- police tape was torn. The police, sure, Vasiley's body, sure, and someone else, not long ago. Several doors were open when they shouldn't have been. I took photos since what I found there os unbelievable. I went downstairs. In the front of his gallery is a fountain, his place is a gigantic house with glass windows and golden ornaments. There was police tape all round it, but as I said, it was torn in the backyard.
To my left was a piece of fucking wall on the floor as of someone blew this shit up that leads to the Prague sewers. Further into the cellar where Vasiley kept his belongings like tables, drawers and paintings I found Bouchard, no fucking joke, on the floor. In front of a closet, dead as you can be. He had to die after the police came here, which means either Lara or Kurtis or an unknown third party murdered him. I'm lucky there's no one else there. I threw up.
Tumblr media
Transcript of the fifth page: Vasiley's walls are covered in marble and art and expensive mosaics, and someone has opened the clock behind his desk. There are stairs in the middle of the room leading further down, it looks like a secret mechanism to me. The seats were framed with pearls and the carpet is oriental-looking that I could pay several rents with. It's clean, everything in here is, besides,... you know.
Tumblr media
Transcript of the sixth page: There was no other body there and the stairs leading down were nowhere near brittle- it looks like they were rarely used. I think they were hidden unless you pulled a trigger or switch. Downstairs is another office, a fax on the floor, a safe that was emptied (could there have been a painting in there, since it was really small?). Not sure what Vasiley would keep there if not the most prescious thing he owns.
Tumblr media
Transcript of the seventh page: The greatest finds in my opinion were two(!) artifacts by the Lux Veritatis. They existed. The one on this page displays a sword that belonged to a knight. The small wooden board in front of it has three daggers on it and a description, so yes, these are the three Periapt Shards, weapons of light, made of crystalline material whose handes were lion heads. There were used to fight against evil forces and inherited from parents to their children. I'm not sure how Vasiley came in possession of these artifacts, and I have a tinfoil I'm afraid to admit to myself even if all of this already reads like scifi. So. What if Vasiley is or was also part of the LV? What happens then?
Tumblr media
Transcript of the eighth page: The second display is a page of a book Fayolah or Margot have sent me. It has a description, too: the Golden Lion was to be slayed witht he shards, so all evil might perish out of it. The LV logo above is the one Vasiley has attached as his email background. There is no doubt he is- was- connected to all this mess, somehow. He might have known more, or too much, or could have revealed information to Miss croft, and his death is convenient. And death is in my way, again.
If I were to contact Lara, or Kurtis...well, how do I do that? I'm stuck.
If I were to contect Luddick- and threaten to publish his dossiers first, will he get me into the Strahov, wherever the fuck that is? He has to.
I will pressure Luddick to get me into the Strahov.

You know what I don't get? How did Kurtis leave the periapt shard at the Louvre? Did he not notice it lying around when he got up? Did he not check his pockets? If it wasn't for Lara, this mf would have doomed the entire world because of his clumsiness
I saw a post years ago that pointed out that when the guy walks away it makes the Karel shapeshifting sound, so it seems like they intended for him to be behind it?
Maybe he hid it until Kurtis came round and left then put it back for Lara to find? Or maybe he dragged Kurtis away somewhere else? (even tho he walks away??? idk I’m just throwing ideas around, AOD is so disjointed we just have to fill in the gaps on our own). If it was lying on the ground still then yeah Kurtis would definitely take it with him so either the shard or Kurtis being moved would make sense.
But then how did Karel find it on him, did he just go through all his pockets or bum bag (it is definitely a bum bag!!!!)? And he must have done it all in 5 seconds before Lara runs out - because Kurtis waits for Lara to run down the stairs, he doesn’t immediately run out into the street and have a huge lead on her. Or maybe Kurtis saw him (idk in which form/person) and took out the shard to stab him but he got knocked out first?
As for why Karel left it for Lara - he must have wanted her to do his dirty work and kill Eckhardt for him. Or maybe to because he didn’t have much faith in Kurtis doing it alone and gave it to Lara to force them to team up at some point lmao?
Idk anybody have any ideas or info?

“Is that a Periapt Shard in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?”
In this pair of renders, I had actually posed the rest of their bodies but never actually showed it...
