Discworld Noir - Act 1 Spoilers

How do I get started on the case?

Go down the Wharf and speak to the First Mate.  Make general
chit-chat with him then ask him about The Milka's Passengers, The
Milka and Mundy. Go and speak to the Cafe Ankh and speak with
Nobby about Vimes. Go back to Lewton's Office, to meet Al Khali
the Dwarf, Go to Pseudopolis yard and chat with Nobby - that
should give you enough information to get into the investigation.

How do I get on board the Milka and what do I do there?

Go to the Cafe Ankh, enter the side alley where the golem is
loading barrels, and take the crowbar from the cart. Go to the
side of the Wharf, and use the crowbar on the crates to be taken
into the ship. In the hold, pick up the label floating in the
water and leave the hold. On the deck, enter the cabin, and search
the bed to get a scrap of paper with a number on it. Leave the
cabin and then the ship.

How do I decipher the writing on the label?

Head over to Pseudopolis Yard and speak to Nobby about the
Mysterious Passengers (to learn where one of them can be found).
Go to the Cafe Ankh to find that this passenger is Ilsa who
happens to know about this sort of thing so show her the label and
she'll tell you it says 'Pier Five'.

How do I find out about Therma?

Go to the Octarine Parrot, wait for the troll singer to stop
singing, then speak to her about Malachite (to learn the location
of Rhodan's workshop location where Malachite is hiding out) and
Therma (to learn that Therma was known as Madame Lodestone).

How do I get to see Carlotta again?

When you've visited the Mausoleum and failed to find the Tomb, go
back to your office and pick up the invitation from Carlotta you
find next to the door (learning the location of Carlotta's
mansion). Go to the mansion, and give Carlotta's invitation to the
butler. When the butler leaves, look at the painting about the
fireplace and Carlotta will appear.

How do I find Madame Lodestone?

Go to Pseudopolis Yard and speak to Nobby about Madame Lodestone
(to find the Selaachi mausoleum). Go to the Selaachi mausoleum,
and go down into the tombs (to learn that you'll need assistance
to find her). Go to see Carlotta (see above), and talk to her
about the Mausoleum. She'll agree to help you find Madame
Lodestone's tomb. Carlotta will take you to the Selaachi
Mausoleum, and lead you to Madame Lodestone's tomb. Speak to
Sapphire at the Octarine Parrot about Malachite, then go to
Rhodan's workshop, and speak to Malachite, telling him that Therma
is in the Mausoleum. You'll go there and he'll open the tomb
revealing a body - but whose body is it?


How do I get into the Pier Warehouse?

Once you've shown Malachite the body in the Mausoleum (above)
he'll give you a rope and grapnel. Use this on the warehouse
skylight down the side of the pier, use the crowbar on the
skylight once you're on the roof and go through the skylight. Pick
up the matchbook in the warehouse and leave the way you came in.

How do I find Mundy?

First of all, get into the Warehouse and the Milka as per the
above questions, then use the scrap of paper from the cabin on the
Milka on the matchbook to put them both together, revealing that
it says '9 Whalebone Lane', the address of the Octarine Parrot.
Talk to Mankin the bar-elf about the matchbook, which proves Mundy
has been to the Parrot. Talk to him about Lies, and he'll tell you
Mundy is upstairs. So go through the exit at the right of the room
to find Mundy - and to find yourself on the receiving end of a
rather nasty surprise, ending the act.
