History Awesome / SherlockHolmesAGameOfShadows

* Watson, at the summit, makes a SherlockScan to find the imposter and saves the day while Holmes is outside playing chess to keep Moriarty busy.
-->'''Holmes''': [[TheChessmaster We both]] have [[TheLancer two]] [[TheDragon Bishops]]. I may be absent from the room, but [[SherlockScan my methods]] [[BadassBoast are not]].

'''Holmes:''' It's importance was not fully apparent to me, until I observed your penchant for feeding pigeons. Then, it occurred... that with an empire so enormous, even you must keep a record of it somewhere. Bishop takes bishop.\\

-->'''Moriarty''': Competent, but predictable. ''[Holmes gave him a powerful right hook, which staggers him]'' Now allow me to reply. ''[grabs Holmes' left arm once more and relentlessly attacks Holmes' injured shoulder, pushing him closer to the railing over the falls]''

-->'''Moriarty''': The wound is taking its toll. ''[[smacks Holmes' face onto the table while landing hits Holmes' injury]''

-->'''Moriarty''': Come now. [[IAmNotLeftHanded You really think you're the only one who can play this game?]] ''[back to the mind game]'' Trap arm. ''[Moriarty grabs Holmes' left arm]]'' [[AttackItsWeakPoint Target weakness.]] ''[aims to grab Holmes' injured right shoulder]'' Follow with haymaker.

-->''"Holmes''': Ah, there we find the boxing champion of Cambridge. ''[blocks Moriarty's haymakers without breaking a sweat]''
-->'''Moriarty''': Competent, but predictable. ''[Holmes gave him a powerful right hook, which staggers him]'' Now allow me to reply. ''[grabs Holmes' left arm once more and jabs Holmes' injured shoulder]''

'''Holmes:''' Does ''The Art of Domestic Horticulture'' mean anything to you? [[AwesomenessByAnalysis How could someone as meticulous as you, own such a book,]] [[FailedASpotCheck yet completely neglect the flowers in his own window box?]] Irony abounds.\\

* Moriarty sticking a fish hook into Holmes and spinning him round and round while singing along to a German opera about a man who wanted to catch a fish, or something like that. A moment of surreal brilliance. Made doubly awesome by the fact that Holmes stole Moriarty's notebook during the scene and put the illustration mentioned below into it.

'''Holmes:''' [[InvoluntaryCharityDonation He'll be making an anonymous donation to the widows and orphans of war fund.]] Bishop to bishop eight. DiscoveredCheck, and incidentally... ''Mate''.

-->'''Moriarty''': Rest assured, if you plan to bring destruction down upon me, I shall do the same to you. [[VillainousRespect My respect for you, Mr. Holmes, is the reason you're still alive]].\\
'''Sherlock''': You've paid me several compliments. Let me pay you one in return, when I say that if I was assured of the former eventuality, [[TakingYouWithMe I would cheerfully accept the latter]].

---> '''Holmes''': I was mistaken.
---> '''Watson''': What?
---> '''Holmes''': I made a mistake! (angrily toss the king chess piece aside)

---> '''Watson''': No loose ends. (immediately bolts to the already dying assassin)

-->'''Holmes''': I attended several of your lectures. It was in Oslo, [[SherlockScan when I first caught a glimpse of your little notebook. Red-leather bound from Smythson, on Bond street.]] Rook to king's rook three. Check.\\
'''Moriarty''': (Panics for a moment, then checks his pocket for his notebook, and continues smiling after knowing that it's still there) Bishop to rook three.\\
'''Holmes''': It's importance was not fully apparent to me, until I observed your penchant for feeding pigeons. Then, it occurred...that with an empire so enormous, even you must keep a record of it somewhere. Bishop takes bishop.\\
'''Moriarty''': Rook to bishop four.\\
'''Holmes''': I then only require the notebook itself. You didn't make it easy. [[ColdBloodedTorture I would need to endure a considerable amount of pain.]] But the notebook would undoubtedly be encoded, so how to break the code? Rook takes rook.\\
'''Moriarty''': Pawn takes rook.\\
'''Holmes''': Bishop to bishop seven.\\
'''Moriarty''': Queen takes knight pawn.\\
'''Holmes''': Does ''The Art of Domestic Horticulture'' mean anything to you? [[AwesomenessByAnalysis How could someone as meticulous as you, own such a book,]] [[FailedASpotCheck yet completely neglect the flowers in his own window box?]] Irony abounds.\\
'''Moriarty''': (Panics, then brings out his notebook from his pocket to check its contents)\\
'''Holmes''': Never mind, it's safe, in London, where my colleagues are making good use of it. The most formidable criminal mind in Europe, had just had all of his money stolen, by perhaps the most inept inspector in the history of Scotland Yard.\\
'''Moriarty''': (Checks the contents of his notebook, but it's revealed to be a flipbook, then looks at Holmes in disbelief)\\
'''Holmes''': He'll be making an anonymous donation to the widows and orphans of war fund. Bishop to bishop eight. Discover check. And incidentally, Mate.

'''Moriarty''': (Checks the contents of his notebook, but it's revealed to be a flipbook of a fisherman being drowned and devoured by a fish he caught, captioned with "BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU FISH FOR", then looks at Holmes in disbelief)\\

'''Moriarty''': (Checks the contents of his notebook, but it's revealed to be a flipbook, then looks at Holmes in disbelief)\\

---> '''Watson''': No loose ends.
