Using the Time Spell in anticipation of revealing the hidden door in the dead end. Amazing.

because my Luck failed when I met the Bloodbeast, even though afterwards you can poof him away with Dispel Illusion when the real fight starts.

like collecting the seemingly cursed or useless equipment pieces for the final battle, and the Time Spell now that I understand it better

A change from the silly characters and snake to an idol one sacrifices to; a clue via hidden mosiac as to why the spiders are benign and help, more definition for the NPCs and why they are there and a better hint on the Time Spell.

Entry #400 was the best ending. However, as a truly satisfactory conclcusion, you'll need to meet and convince Chief Inspector Eddie Farthingdale to your crusade. He can be found investigating Reverend Maddesby's cottage home.

as confirmed in entry #400 of COD, she had indeed perished. It's possible her restless spirit desires justice upon other demonic 'hot-spots' in the world, circumstances similar to that of 'Night of the Necromancer'. In this case, it would be a sequel which would depart from House of Hell's setting. Terry could return as a redoubtable, corporeal ally to his sister.

The Order of Saint Erik could also have a hand in things...

Nel was one of the prisoners held in House of Hell's cellars. She didn't start the fire - the player was the actual cause of it during the final battle! If you haven't played House of Hell, I don't want to spoil it for you (or anyone else) even further. However, in COD, her brother Terry hoped (in vain) she survived somehow - in truth, he hasn't come to terms with the loss of his sister. Entry 400 confirms that, sadly, she didn't survive.

if Nel had actually survived...then where is she? Why is she still missing, after all these months? COD's storyline could have taken one of several directions: having the player cast as Nel was one possibility (admittedly, one which I didn't think of before writing). During writing, I did toy with the idea of having Nel survive, play a part in COD's events, having her reunited with Terry, and so on. But: she'd have to be pretty resourceful to escape the cell, tough enough to defeat the guards, avoid the flames with dextrous ease...something that HOH didn't describe in her character at all. The fire caused House of Hell's floors to collapse into the cellars; her survival a short-lived one at best: suffocation by fire or buried alive under tons of rubble. A very sad but realistic decision I had to make concerning her fate. Still, I felt most sympathetic towards Terry!
