This is a picture of the masquerade, on each side is the butler, and Lyria. Technoblade/Billiam is right below Karl in the picture, as Karl is the main character he goes in the top middle. But here's a little masquerade description. (Credit to whoever made this) Karl hid under some crates, where he saw someone pass by with a sword. The murderer walked away from Karl's hiding spot and Karl was relieved. The lights suddenly turned back on and the group met up at the piano. Most of the group made it except for Drew and Lyaria. After a few moments of panic, Lyaria arrived late. They noticed Drew was missing, so the group split up to try and find him. They went to the grand library and found a secret passageway around the back of the bookshelves. Blood seeping through the shelves and they found Drew's head, the rest of his body nowhere to be found.

The group discussed who they suspect murdered Drew, while Billiam gave gold to everyone to keep silent as a found dead body could reduce his property value. They suspected that the Butler was the murderer, but he claimed that he hadn't seen anyone since the lights turned off. The group spread out to find clues that could lead to finding the identity of the murderer when the lights suddenly turned off again. Karl saw someone highlighted with a sword, kill someone in the room below, and planned to find them and decided to figure out their identity when the lights turned back on. The murderer successfully killed someone and the lights turned back on.

The group reunited and found that Lyaria and Oliver were missing. They eventually found Lyaria's dead body by the wine barrels. The group also heard someone drowning and rushed to the Aquarium to find Oliver inside one of the tanks. They tried to break the glass but to no avail. Oliver then swam up the tank and regrouped with them. They asked Oliver how he ended up in the tank, but received no direct answer.

The group discussed who murdered Lyaria, Billiam was accused but stated that he would rather pay someone to commit murder rather than doing it himself. The Butler was with Billiam the whole time, and Sebastian was at the Ballroom Bar. The group then suspected Karl, who showed them his pathway to prove his innocence. The group believed him and once again split up to look for more clues. When they regrouped, Billiam asked everyone to empty their pockets to make sure they don't have a sword.

They found a secret tunnel by the barrels leading to a small office that had a tunnel leading to the Ballroom area. Karl remembered that Lyaria went in the tunnel to hide from Drew earlier meaning she must have hidden in it again, and when climbing out the other side was killed. Karls suspected Sebastian due to his proximity to the tunnel, but Sebastian claimed to have been protecting the barrels of wine. Billiam asked Sebastian what the vintage on the wine was, and Sebastian answered 1856~. Karl then asked Sebastian to follow him into the secret room to discuss, when suddenly the lights turned off again, and Karl saw the highlighted murderer. Karl led Sebastian upstairs and they hid in the bathtub. Later, they moved to hide in a bedroom closet. The murderer moved dangerously close to them and Karl curled up in the corner of the closet out of fear. They heard the doors open and Sebastian was dragged out of the closet and killed. The lights turned on again and Sebastian was nowhere to be seen.

Karl found Oliver outside the room, the rest of the group following behind as the Butler helped Billiam since he had been locked outside the mansion. Oliver suspected that Karl had murdered Sebastian, while Karl suspected Oliver. Billiam later found Sebastian's body in a dusty corner. Karl proposed that the group separate into pairs to find the murderer more easily. Karl stayed with Billiam, Oliver stayed with James, while the Butler tended to his duties alone.

Karl hid with Billiam in a spacious bedroom when the lights went out. Billiam led Karl to a secret hiding spot within a closet. They saw the murderer highlight nearby as they killed someone, and the lights turned back on. Billiam and Karl climbed out of the secret room, finding Oliver outside of the closet with James' dead body near him. They immediately suspected him due to this seemingly clear evidence against him. Oliver objected, saying that if he were to murder people, he would've used a gun. They agreed with his defense and then suspected the Butler instead. The Butler was given limited freedom of speech, and defended his innocence by saying it wasn't him. Billiam and Karl immediately believed him and suspected Oliver. Oliver opted to play a jolly piano tune as his defense, and proceeded to play murder mystery music which made the group suspect him more.

Karl then proposes another buddy system for the next blackout, telling Oliver and Butler to stick with each other to prove their innocence, while Billiam buddies up with Karl. They hide by the a secret panic room within the kitchen when the lights turn off. The lights turn back on and Butler exclaims that Oliver died from a heart attack. Billiam and Karl run away from Butler as they suspect that Butler was the murderer, slowing him down by dropping gold ingots to pick up. They end up back at the grand library and Billiam orders Butler to stand by the doorway, to which he complied. Billiam shows Karl a secret entrance behind the Spider painting, and Karl realizes that is why there are two identical paintings. Billiam walks through and shows him his favorite room.
