Roels Email Address : Prodigy: JEMS51a Misc. Author Info : I have made 4 other wads... if you'd like to get them or know what they are, just use my MANSION BAT file to load DOOM II with the wad, then quit out of the game... and read the screen! I created this Mansion wad becuase I like old houses. They provide great areas... (Visually and otherwise). They also have incredibly awesome secrets, hopefully you'll agree that this level has those! Your Mission : First off, the story begins in the year 1839, in London... Westminster to be exact... Alfred Von Helsing was a very respected Doctor who specialized in the extinction of Vampires. Your Great Grandfather Alfred Von Helsing left you his Mansion... Well, let me explain... Alfred Von Helsing had a beautful daughter, but, she was mentally unstable... so he built this Mansion for her to live in, and when she died... he vowed to make every Von Helsing relative stay in this Mansion... So he wrote this into his will, but he died 2 months after he wrote it, and left it hiding in a secret place, where no one could find it... Years and years went by... then finally a woman in her 50's claimed to be the daughter of Alfred Von Helsings first Daughter. She carried the name Von Helsing, but had no other proof besides that... Well except for you! She is your mother. The police officals looked over both you and your mothers records, very cautiously... then they found dramatic proof they you were indeed Alfred Von Helsings Great Grandson! ...what proof did the police find? They found Alfred Von Helsings will... It was discovered while searching the dungeon...it was brown, book like... and had a peace symbol on it...so you and your mother were granted possession of the VON HELSING MANSION. Unfortunately, your mother became ill, and perished in her sleep... Now you live in the Von Helsing Mansion all by yourself... Everyone in town heard of this tragic tale, and knowing you are the soul heir to the Von Helsing Mansion, many people are trying to take your life, and the women are trying to marry into the Von Helsing riches! You have to stop them! Yes you... Already some grotesque people have invaded the Mansion, while you were away. Now you must use your knowledge of the Mansion to defeat the evil that lurks within. Good Luck! Additional Information: 1. Why does this look like a Castle from the outside? Well, because Alfred Von Helsing purchased King Henry the II's castle, after the King had had passed away... not wanting a Castle, but liking the outside, he decided to keep the outside they way it was, while completely reconstructing the inside. He created his dream Mansion with many secret doors and hallways... 2. Why is the bridge across the moat broken? Well you may think that was a dastardly move on my part... but in all reality, the bridge was in great condition until the invasion of the Mansion. The giant spiders who walk the moat destroyed it so they could move from one cave to another. Additional Credits to : All of the Authors of DEU and BSP.
