- Filename(s) : KR-1.wad (snd) KR-2.wad (grfx) KR-3.wad (mansion)
- Author : Kevin L. 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.
