Lost Desert Plot Discussion #113 (Summary in First Post)

[arogance1]

4 days and no light?

Am I missing something or does the light appear in one of the 8 hours in a day or 8 consecutive hours in a day?

Once every 8 hours.
Example - I get mine at 2pm, 10pm, 6am NST

Oh good grief, a third crystal?! I'm getting tired of crystals! ¬_¬ I'm guessing we still don't know what to do with the second crystal then, just waiting for paint to dry?

Ah well at least we know the end is near I guess.

[background_noise]

And I have a feeling the reward for getting the third crystal will be another pile of scarabs.

Can someone check something for me?
I just placed my colors on the wall from crystal 1 and crystal 2 below each other and noticed that my 4 empty spots are in the same place. Also, I have 4 places where red and yellow are in the same spot on both rows.
I don't know if it means anything or if this has been looked at before (there are just so many threads) but if everyone has this it might means something

I finally found my 'spike' trap by just picking a room that had 5 colored doors & going from left to right rather than randomly clicking 'teps' or 'triangles', etc. After clicking entirely too many others, I got a spike trap in ths 5-door room on 2nd try. Whew! Got 2nd crystal, got my lights.

Too many potential 'orders'. Only thing I see constant is the 'pop-up' message a few people have gotten regarding the Anubis Toxicology Reports, so I've reviewed both card files. My first crystal's colors, YBR, had 1 AnToxRpt in yellow file, 1 in blue, none in red. Current has 2 in yellow, 2 in blue, 1 in red.

Trying basement coordinates of 22/11, I find 1 Blue Kha scroll here which I have from BOTH crystals, and none of the rest from either series. I was hoping to find 1 room that matches all 20 (12 + 12, less the 4 duplicates, ignore blanks), or matches SOMETHING! Pet did read it, got standard "what a fun scroll..." nothing special.

I'm going to continue poking around down here to see if anything else might correlate. NOT leaving till I've al least looked at all 101 scroll racks. Has to be a reason...

Well..if we consider that there could be FOUR crystals we are just now half way through the crystal part... /sigh

Everyone has this.

One more thing, the other day someone was talking about the anubis toxcology reports message. They said they wished someone would pop in and let them know if they were heading in the right direction. Dirtside popped in and smiled. I took this as yes it was headed in the right direction. My problem with this is, Ian gets the message each time he reads a certain scroll. I have read mine over and over and over trying different things and I have never gotten this. If it is headed in right direction, then we must all be able to get that message. I think this is what we need to focus on right now.

Urgh, don't say four crystals *goes insane* :S But in any event the end will be near as the last plot chapter is next so will likely be up next week at some point and the darkest faerie stuff will be kicking off soon.

I wonder if that's why Mr Insane and Snarkie were in here giving us a push? xD

[Casi]

For those that got the toxicology message, was it while reading a scroll that you subtracted the original color from?

I agree. But if they really wanted to speed things along, it seems to me they would cut the lock out time for the traps and the wait for the light show!

Very interesting reading.

Your pet deciphers the scroll!

"This clue does not exist."

[wdyw]

oh, and the last message is not a joke. Its for real! crystal 2 has been solved. typing up full report after I think about the clue

Oh, sounds like their Jelly world excuse I wish I knew how to use the second crystals colours

[craftdee]

Good day fellow Lost Desert Addicts.

I finally got back online. I still have an hour or so to wait before I can put my second crystal in the model. For now I am going to try to figure out what you all have been talking about.

I know you have said that their could be 3 or 4 crystals, but when the last plot segment was released, they said that it is drawing to a close now.

Whenever you can share what you did, that would be wonderful. At some point did you also get the Anubis Toxicology Reports message?
