Lost Desert Plot Discussion #134 (Summary in First Post)

[background_noise]

Ah. Looks like TNT is serving us all Ketchup today

THANKS to the icebreakers who found the path for the rest of us!

Here's my new prophecy (Nuria didn't get excited about it) -- I predict Tomos will grab a scroll rack and whack Razul back into limbo, and Amira will be so thrilled that she'll propose to him.

[Meech]

Holy Poop!!!

I just went back to my Nuria Statue - the green triangular TEP (eye) door.
It was a spike trap!!!!

Has this happened to anyone else, or have I lost my mind? The symbol in my sig - man, to tell you the truth, it was so long ago I don't even remember what it was for. I THOUGHT it was the door the Nuria statue was behind, because it was fun to make little cults, and matched up with the poem on the temple door - there was your statue.

So have I lost it? Do the statues move?

To make matters worse, I lost my map and had to spend 3 hours re-making a crappy one.

[apranum]

Thats perhaps is your statue symbol, not the door symbol which lead to your statue

The statue hasn't moved. If you were a TEP, that probably means that TEP was the symbol on your faerie statue, not the symbol over the door to your faerie statue. Although, some people did have the same symbol for both.

Ok, I have my lights for my first crystal at this link .

Anyways, I would assume, that since I need 4 blanks, it would be as follows:

_YRY_YRBBY_RBRB_

However, if I go by that, I get scrolls that aren't listed in the maps, and so, I assume, that I've done something wrong. Could someone help me here? Thanks.

Meech, if you were a tep, that probably is the symbol that was at the bottom of your faerie statue, and also the symbol you had to find during the block moving phase when you had to find other people with the same symbol to join with you to move those blocks. That's when most people on the board identified themselves by symbol.

That had nothing to do with the symbol over your faerie door. At least you know what color and shape door to look for.

[Meech]

For you guys who replied to my TEP question:
thank you so much.

I unfortunately was away and completely missed the block-moving, so I didn't have too much to remind me of the true purpose.

The first time searching for ol' Nuria, I got the ol' gal on the very first try. Looks like I'll be doing my time now!

Post one of the names in question and I'll help you locate it.

You go in reverse tablet order. Make sure your pop up blocker is off because like the first time we clicked symbols, when you're done, a new window will pop up with your translation.

The sceond crystal isn't that hard.
1) go to your city, and get the lights
2) match them to your tablet like the 1st crystal
3)cross out blanks and ones that stayed the same
4) reading bottom to top and right to left, find the first symbol.
5) lets say it's a *Green Sun*. And lets say on top of your first crystal, the colors were *R-Y-B*.
6)Green=yellow+blue, so you'd go to the directory(its different) and figure out where the yellow(yellow first because it came first on top of the first crystal) sun is.
7)go there, read the yellow sun scroll.
do steps 6 and 7 for the blue sun scroll.
9) you'll get a message with a new location in it.
10) go there and read the green sun symbol. You won't get a message, though.

Just replace the stuff in *'s with your own information.

You're right, it's not that hard, but you are wrong about one thing. When working on this crystal, you go by the color order of your catalogs, not what your old crystal was.

Thanks Cillian, Im sure my pop up blocker is off already and I read it in that order... I might use another browser..

I have 2 symbols the same right after each other... Im thinking that I need to vchange page then go back to it... Im sure I had to do that for the 1st tablet...
