*headdesk* I had a total blonde moment last night, and somehow spent 2 hours trying to get my 2nd set to work. It wasn't until this morning that I realised that I was looking for the wrong symbol.

Ah well. I have 3 hours to finish the last two sets, hopefully I'll be able to do it then. Though I have a scroll in Anubis Toxicology ._.

[everconfused]

Smoky, here's your tablet with colors circled and an x by the blanks (you'll need those 4 symbols later), cards are circled ...

Ah yes. Long after the comic becomes a distant memory, well shall we remember the drudgery of the Anubis Toxicology Reports, and still shall we marvel at its mysteries, such as: "What is an 'Anubis' and why is it necessary to keep reports on its toxicology?"

[TDG]

Hah! I never once had to go to the Anubis tox. zone

Don't make too much fun of Anubis. If he hears you making fun of him, your heart might weigh more than a feather when he's done with you. After just doing a little more research on him, one of the possible origins for Anubis' name is 'to putrefy'. Vomiting is a good way to counteract small doses of poisons and thus toxicology could have been borne through him. If that is reading too much into the name, then TNT did a great coincidence with that choice of names.

Lucky...had to go there twice,but got lucky and I had to find the same symbol twice there. Still I used to just hate the basement in general, but gawd! Anubis Tox made it 10 times worse!

XD oh yes... yes we will. except Anubis is an egyptian god, but what I want to know is... why so many scrolls?

thanks everconfused I have it saved and already started. ^_~

Worst I got was The Catacombs. That was a horrible experience (due to the fact the scroll I had to get after it was on the fourth floor <_<)

Lucky you. I just got sent there.. it's my third time being sent there with all the scrolls >.>

Apologies, my subscription to Egyptian mythology is selective and does not include that particular aspect.

After just doing a little more research on him, one of the possible origins for Anubis' name is 'to putrefy'. Vomiting is a good way to counteract small doses of poisons and thus toxicology could have been borne through him. If that is reading too much into the name, then TNT did a great coincidence with that choice of names.

Excellent point - I cannot see it as coincidence. However it seems tautologous to use both his name and the word 'toxicology' in the title. Perhaps TNT simply saw a connection and didn't really care about its implementation in their own mythology

Although I'm glad you disclosed that - I could have been wondering for ages.

[Alex]

Yay, I've completed as much as I can until my lights come on in 1 1/2 hours.

Though I also seem to have 3 crystals, all at different stages

I HAVE THE TOMOS AVATAR!!

want proof- go to my lookup on neopets, it's "glorfindel03" !

this is what you do! buy a hand painted scarab, then deposit all but one of your neopints into the neopian bank. then go to the how to draw Tomos, page 2! finally, we know how to get it!!

EDIT: Scarab cookies work, too!
