I exited the repository and found it in a spot I already looked.

- Can I continue with my second sign or do I need to reread the scroll for the first RA in my pattern?

Oh, I misunderstood you the first time. Sorry.

I believe the system remembers you finished the first symbol's sequence and you just continue working on the 2nd if you mess up. No need to return to the first RA.

I completely messed up on my third scroll sequence to get my fourth crystal and I tried redoing my first symbol (since I knew where the white scroll is) and I'm not getting the confirmation. Do I need to reread my white scroll for that sequence or what?

Each symbol has a different sequence which you have to figure out even if the symbols are the same. My sequence was BEN KAR KAR BEN and I needed to find it for all of them.

The white scroll location is the same but you still need to do the unneccessary busy work for it to work.

(Hope that made sense)

Perhaps once the first scroll "set" has been cleared you will not get anymore confirmation messages? Maybe try to proceed on to the 2nd set of scrolls?

Look for the trap and click on the alien-looking thing at the bottom left corner and you should get the last crystal

Casi and supRNurs
yes I'm sure cause I had a theory that maybe the color order for the 4th crystal had something to do with the colors that were repeated from the previous crystals. After I stumbled through and got the final white scroll, I went over my notes to see if anything matched my theory. It didn't but at first I thought it did cause my theory had been basically that each repeated color would start off one of the color combos for the white scroll. My repeated colors were bryy and I had 2 combos that started with yellow. That's what caught my attention first. (but then I saw that my other 2 started with red which squashed my theory)Anyway, then I thought it was wierd that the combos were the same but then I figured it didn't matter cause the symbols were different.

Well your a few hours late on that because I had tried that twice this morning and gave up and went to lunch lol

Thank you for that

The bit about Amira not being a true princess is added in by the fortune teller herself? How does she know that she's not a true princess? And what are we supposed to pull off? Let Jazan marry someone he loves?

The fortune teller must be as old as Jazan.

And, again, I say Nabile!

She did specifically say that Amira isn't a Qasalan princess, which could be true. Amira is a Sakhmetian princess which may not be the same bloodline as the Qasala royalty. However, Nabile could be of the bloodline of the Qasalan royalty. Jazan could've gotten stuck on the "Princess" part of the prophecy which is why he started stalking Amira. Hmm, I wonder where we've heard of the evil character not getting the full prophecy before.

*nods*
The portrait on the wall... Nabile's sympathy for Jazan... Tomos teasing Nabile about Jazan... the dress... the handmaiden's comments about Jazan's mother....

Seems all the Qasalan's believe Jazan must marry a Sahkmetian princess, though. (See the handmaiden's comments on page 2, chapter 12 - assuming she's Qasalan.) I think they get this idea from the "Forgotten Promise" betrothal.

So, do we need a Qasalan Princess or a Sahkmetian Princess? or both?

I'm not sure if there is a link to click on (I can never see any of the images from the trap), but if you open up the source code and search for ucmc, you should find the link to the crystal. Just copy and paste that link (something like "/desert/ldp...")

Okay, thanks, I got it!

I was thinking of what's the next logical step to do with the scroll.. it's absurd after moving sand/blocks, reading scrolls are just to find another scroll that tells us "Jazan is going to destroy stuff".. which he already is doing.. by the way

Are we to look for the princess? Since it most likely is Nabile.. where can we possibly find her?

Or will we only get to do the next part as the last plot comic goes live? There are still quite a lot of people stuck looking for their traps.

Simple Declaration: I am the Tep Master! I have had at least one Tep for every color scroll. With my first crystal, my first symbols were all Tep. With my last crystal, my last symbols were all Tep. I had one Tep scroll on almost every floor. After dealing with so many Teps, I will now put my eyes out so I can never see them again. (Okay, maybe just close them for a while and take a break. Either way is all good).

Seriously, thanks to everyone who solved all the scrolls and helped everyone so far. Without your help, I would have been lost.

But after exploring the repository for so many days, I only have one question: how are we breathing in there? It has no windows or visible airways. The air must be pretty stale by now.

SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED!

The Grundo Leader appears and steals 'useless crystal'

What do I do? I was almost finished going through all the scrolls for crystal 2! I don't have to start all over do I? o_O

Yes, yes you do. I already complained to TNT, if we can't put the crystal into our sdb or gallery or such to keep it safe then it shouldn't be able to be stolen. If you wanna cry, I'll commiserate after all, I had done all but the last scrolls for crystal three... I had read the yellow and red... I was going for the blue and it was stolen!

I looked back at my card cats, I'm back at he beginning!!!!

You just need to get new crystals. Go to the chef, get crystal 1, and then go back to a spike trap for crystal 2. Losts of people have lost crystals, and everyone has been able to get them back.

I went to the spike trap and it wouldn't give me a new crystal, so i went waited and went to another, didn't work either, waited and went to back to the first, didn't work. I never got the second crystal.
