Ariadne in Aeaea (2016)
> x figurines (@ Circe's chambers)
A black piece of stone. Obviously Circe is using them to signify some sort of kingdom or faction over her map. Each is shaped like a sitting lion. Now where have you seen that before?
Bellclap (2004)
> x statuette (@ Temple)
It depicts you. Bellclap wants to know whether it's meant to be a model.
Birmingham IV (2018)
> x figurine (@ Attic Cupboard)
It is about a foot high and shows a grinning man, with an unnaturally wide mouth, holding aloft a torch in his right hand. He is wearing a tunic of some kind, but the style, both of the clothing and the figure is not classical, or indeed any recognisable style. It is of bronze, but the feet of the figurine are fused with a cube of a quite different metal, purple and heavy, which serves as a base.
The Cenric Family Curse (2013)
> x statuette (@ Study)
It is a black obsidian statuette is a bust of a famous composer. You don't recognize which.
Cragne Manor (2018)
> x crow figurine (@ Court)
The form of a crow is unmistakable, but far from photorealistic; it's easy to make out stray chisel marks and brush strokes. The figurine is mounted on a circular base.
Dr Ego and the egg of Man-Toomba (2020)
> x statuettes (@ Tribe)
The wooden figurines are all lined up neatly. They depict several deities and animals.
Dr Horror's House of Terror (2021)
> x statuettes (@ Voodoo Temple)
Crudely carved, but with an air of real menace, the figurines seem to guard the room.
Gaia, Živa, Jarilo (2020)
> x figurines (@ Gift Shop)
Several tables are entirely devoted to an assortment of tacky knick knacks and animal figurines.
> x robin figurine (@ Gift Shop)
A beautifully crafted figurine of a robin resting on a blooming orchid plant.
> x monster figurine (@ Gift Shop)
A dark and mysterious monster, probably a grue. It looks like some unknown child carved the word "Frotz" into its head, presumably in an attempt to vanquish it. Kids are weird.
Hollywood Hijinx (1986)
> x red statuette (@ Living Room)
It's a thin, wax statuette of a Hindu god, dressed in a long gown. The foot-high god is holding up its right hand, showing three fingers. A wick is sticking up from the top of the statuette.
Lydia's Heart (2007)
> x figurine (@ Cabin Four)
The evil figurine is like the other one you saw — it’s about six inches tall, and is carved from a stone so deep red it’s almost black. The eyes glint green — and you have the disquieting sensation that they’re actually staring at you. The figure’s face is contorted with malevolence — the teeth bared, the eyes glaring, the tongue protruding.
My Evil Twin (2012)
> x figurine (@ My Apartment)
It's a likeness of Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd president of the United States. Harrison may not have been one of our more exciting presidents - he's certainly no James K. Polk - but he did do something that no other president has done. Generally speaking, once a president loses re-election, he doesn't bother running again, because everyone knows that no one votes for a loser. But Harrison's economic policies were so monumentally unpopular that the incumbent he defeated in 1888, Grover Cleveland, was actually able to mount a successful challenge to him in 1892. Cleveland is thus considered to be both the 22nd and 24th president. I've always liked that anomaly, and without Harrison's particular blend of win and lame, it wouldn't have happened.
Normally it's part of a diorama at a small museum downtown, but someone snuck in and cut one of its arms off the other day, so I took it home to do a little repair work. I suspect that the mystery vandal was my evil twin, but I haven't mentioned this to anyone.
Nowheresville (2022)
> x figurines (@ Nice House)
All of the figurines resemble someone from this town. [if your figurine there, add:] One of them looks like you.
> x figurine of me (@ Nice House)
A painted figurine made of porcelain, wearing shabby clothes. [if holding it, add:] It feels heavier than it should.
Several Other Tales from Castle Balderstone (2020)
> x figurines (@ Figurines)
I guess "cute" is the wrong word. They were supposed to be graceful and beautiful. Willowy mothers holding willowy daughters, angels in long flowing robes. None of the figurines had faces. Just blank heads, but you could infer they were supposed to have beatific expressions.
When I looked closely, I noticed there were dozens of tiny spiders skittering up and down the figurines.
The Wand (2017)
> x figurine (@ Kitchen)
The delicately-painted figurine looks like a rotund man wearing a chef's hat.
> x figurine (@ Crypt)
The woman seems to be holding a basket of fruit.
The Xylophoniad (2016)
> x figurine (@ Temple of Eris)
An intricately carved figurine of a water nymph, about a handspan long, made of pearly white ivory.
