Lost Desert Plot Discussion #33 (Split- Summary in 1st Post)

[archergirl2000]

Just grabbed the third pile of sand and I actually paid attention to the clock this time, the wait was 2.5 hours I really wish my pets had better agility now

[evenstar]

This is weird...
My Faerie Symbol is LAT
I've read the scroll before


My guards doesn't have the correct option for LAT... what gives?

I read another scroll after reading LAT(and understanding it) does it matter?

By the way... whats up about Agility and how old your pet is? Does it matter?

It has to be the last scroll you read so you have to read it again.
And it seems that the higher your pet's agility, the quicker you can go back to the scroll repository.

People have talked about problems if the faerie scroll was not the LAST scroll you had read.

I'd suggest reading LAT again ... and then go try the guards.

(note: you'll be locked out of the temple for 12 hours ... but you can start going to the repository ASAP).

The faerie scroll has to be the last scroll you read before going to the repository so you'll have to head back to the temple and read Lat again before you'll get it as an option with the guards.
And the business about agility and age are theories on why the waiting times for getting sand are different. My agility is 160something and my wait seems to be an hour, but I'm just enjoying the thought of a peophin hauling itself across the desert really quickly.

<i>It starts in the desert but not in the plain,
But then? Not in sunshine, but found in the rain.
After that, just ask Coltzan, Amira knows not.
And end in the pyramid; not a temple or hut.
Put them together, your next task's in hand.
And perhaps a great city will return to this land.</i>


Thirst? Found in the desert... quenched by rain.

Death? A pyramid is a tomb. (Though I doubt neopets would be morbid and creepifying like that.)

Put them together... desert + rain + Coltzan + pyramid = ?.


Makes my head hurt. And I thought I was good at riddles!

Anyone else have ideas? I'm convinced this has something to do with the plot. And it's a way to pass the time while my poor unagile pet wanders back into the arms of civilization...

The lenny conundrum is a riddle involving finding letters, not words. Its not to do with the plot.

Anyway

Your pet is still hurrying back to civilization with a handful of sand.
It's going to be a little while before you can get back to the scroll repository!

4 hours now <_<

I was silly yesterday, I got bored and went off to read scrolls again lol

I should be able to go back in and read the correct scroll in a few hours lol Just put my pet into training for more agility and I see codestones are going up in price again.

Going by the new chapter it likes like the new war will start soon as well, I wonder if TNT will put the puzzling side to the plot on hold while the war is on.

I was having that problem and about 30 mins ago i finally read the scroll i had to and got to the repository

Weak for you maybe, my pets a lab pet and has like no defense or level. And my other stats are only like in the 50/60's, but my hp is 200ish but still no match for something with 550 hp. I like to think my pet is strongish but I know better. Especially with the stupid maraqua war, I must have been at just the bottom of rank two because I only got 3 stinkin' points, I was so mad, I was at like 600 for the war before that. I dont understand why TNT thinks that making it easy for the New Member is fair, if you've been on for a long time and worked hard to train your pet you should get to do better than someone who has only been playing for a month. . If this war is like that I will be highly upset. But hopefully it wont be. hopefully. /rant.

I said weak for his stats. For his stats he should be packing a t-tear, at least.

I suppose I'm a hypocite saying this, but lab's, IMO, not that grand for a great battling pet. Lab+ training...sure,but pure lab will make it hard to fight. *shrugs* As a former labber, I'm just reflecting form how my pet is now.
Yes, many know the CoM war was totally unfair. Blocking it out of your mind is the best choice. I know I did. TNT could have made ranks tons more fair,but they dropped the ball...badly. many peopel with good pets lost out to rank 1's...I know even some of the strongest rank 2 barely beat out one rank 1 person.

Anyways, if if TNT goes back to the old format, this mummy could still be a later rank oppoent,but his weapons would be far mrore annoying. He doesn't even have a freezer.


Anyways, I've yet to get an item from my 9 piles of sand. Guess the "slower" neopets get them for the longer wait. Be cooler if the wait was more random to be a bit more fair. Or has it gotten faster for people?

Well with all this wait I have managed to learn how to play word pyramid pretty well lol 5,745 is my Hi-Score so far.

During the volcano plot wasn't there some really bad weather condition somewhere? I seem to remember a few ranting over it. Just looking at Texas on the TV now

Really. I'd seen the idea posted, but not for definite sure?

Could be to do with the plot. Really. It could. *glances about*


...I think I'll be in that corner. Over there. Sulking. *tears! melodrama! further proof that sparrowinsky cannot be funny when half asleep!*

[Cilian]

If I'm right about my answer, and I'm next to positive I am, the LC involves the current plot, but it isn't something that advances the current plot. Simply, it involves the desert, but it's not a clue for our next move.

Well at least I'm fairly sure its to do with letters. I haven't bothered trying to solve it but it follows the usual patterns for those types of riddles

EG :

My first in she but never in him
Middle is great, neither in bad nor in sin
My last is in Greece, though never that neat
Together they form a delectable treat

You're probably right. I'm just bored off my hind end and looking for something to do.

...yes. Really, really bored.

We don't post (possible or confirmed) Lenny C answers on the forums here! This isn't the neoboards.
