Used the 4th crystal to blow a hole in the side wall of the Map Room, got the mysterious scroll, spoke with the Fortune Teller.

I was thinking that it might be like what we had to do to complete the Mysterious Scroll, that mad scavenger hunt between the Games Room and the Temple of 1,000 Tombs.

PS -- it *just* happened, I went through 18 rooms looking for the jelly trap and found the puzzle trap (with the hieroglyphics) 3 times along the way. I decided to do it the hard way, and just went through the Temple map I had made, doing all of the traps in the first room and then moving on to the second. But I do Group Theory problems the same dumb way, alas, and never see the elegant 3-step solutions. Good thing I don't do that stuff for a living!

Very true, and I will need the jelly one soon enough I know where to find all the traps in the tombs now, except the spike one... I am sure I will get there soon enough though and at least I still have something to do at the moment. TRYING to look on the bright side lol

ARGH!! i think i stuffed up big time BOO T_T I have 2 cups one after the other, however i read the white scroll twice by accident and i have tried to start again but ive gone through all 3 symbol sequences and nothing is giving me a new white scroll location.

How do i reset my repository? Can it be done? Will exiting the repository work?

ARGH!! erPurity is currently PULLING HER HAIR OUT T_T

Hey, I just want to apologize for not posting what I had found sooner. Back a number of threads ago I was the first person to find a "room message", and I posted that I'd explain soon--the problem was that no one else could find the message using my method. 6 other people tried, and it worked for none of them. So we concentrated on trying to figure it out before, obviously, we could say how to get it.

That took, beyond all our expectations, over a day, and many wrong theories, hundreds and hundreds of scrolls read, and lots of clicking. During that whole time, I was also trying to figure out what to do with my clue--not made any easier by the fact that I had Anubis Toxicology Reports, and was therefore looking through 2000 scrolls to find one, when I didn't even know what that one was.

At some insane hour of the morning, (read: past 3) we finally figured out what to do, with a lucky guess. We all rushed to complete it--"rush" being a misnomer, because it took several hours and multiple trips through Anubis Tox, lots of running basement to 4th floor, and even some mistakes in using the wrong card catalog (oops).

After everyone had finally finished up and we'd figured out an understandable way to describe it, the explanation was posted (not by me, that was past 7 AM). So again, I apologize for not posting how earlier, but figuring out what to post took a lot longer than expected.

THANKS, dolphinling, for lighting the way!!!

Almost an hour ago I blew up that room and got the scroll (yay!) I was, however, disappointed to see that the room mysteriously no longer had a missing wall when I reentered. grr.

And of course, most disappointingly, you cannot blow it up again, because you no longer have the crystal. *sigh*

Don't worry guys, you'll find spike traps soon!

No worries, Dolphinling. You had no idea HOW you got it. It was posted immediately after the big theory worked for two other people.

I still feel bad that I posted that reading your faerie door scroll got my light to shine (It was SO not true but had worked for me!). Now, I confirm everything before posting ...... to save everybody I can the anguish!

Yes! I am still looking for my spike traps... Maybe there is only one in the whole tombs? I am sooooooo sick of looking now

PPT + LDP = Lots of Fun!

I just wanted to explain why many of us have not been able to post as much lately on the boards. A group of dedicated puzzle solvers were just trying to figure out where to go with the plot. I don't think any of us working on the plot in chat consider ourselves elite by any stretch of the imagination. We just couldn't continue to field all the questions from everyone and still make progress. I'm very glad that others in the PPT community were able to pick up the slack here and continue helping others with questions. Everyone in the PPT community should be applauded.

The reason a large majority of our discussion was moved from the boards to chat, was because it was just that much easier to concentrate. A chat room is more conducive to a real discussion of ideas than a message board. I am sorry if anyone feels "left out" and/or are upset at us ... but that is what we did. I personally found it much easier to discuss with the others in this "real time" format, instead of scrolling through many posts trying to figure out what we should try next, and who was trying it, etc.

We went through *many* different theories in our chat. Yes, we did have someone getting the room messages (like IanB was getting) in chat ... but no, we could not figure out a way that could make the messages appear for all of us. That was a big sticking point for us. We were all madly clicking through many permutations of ideas.

I appreciate the efforts of everyone here who took the time to help others along in the plot as we all struggled forward. I know I have not been as "verbose" as I was earlier on, but I chose to spend my time trying to move us forward. I think I have done my share of answering questions along the way ...

So, I am sorry that I haven't been able to help as many people lately with things, but as I said, I chose to focus on figuring out new content rather than catching people up. If anyone wants to hate me for that, it is your perogative.

I've enjoyed this plot very much. Much of this enjoyment has come from PPT. Thanks for turning the LDP into a fantastic time for me.

I know this has probably been addressed somewhere, but would someone be kind and tell me whether I must go back to the card catalog after reading my first set of scrolls (in my case yellow) or if I can just go straight to the next colour (blue)?

Thanks a bunch

If you've printed out your card catalog, you don't need to go back to it. You'll only need to go back when you get your next crystal, because it will change at that point.

Excellent. Thanks again.

Edit: Sorry, another question: If I accidentally read the wrong scroll, do I have to start again? I haven't done this yet but I'm terrified of the possibility.

maybe you could try exiting the repository..you did use different sequences for the symbols right, like if you used RYB, then don't use it but use a different one like BYR.

XenaAndGabrielle, you have helped a lot out along the way. I also jump into the chatrooms a lot because it is a lot easier to help or get help and a lot easier to figure out what people have done and are doing. Real time will always be easier than forums.

I don't think people have a right to be upset with anyone... I don't really think they are or mean to be either, I think people are just starting to get very frustrated with the plot now, as it is being dragged out for so long and a lot of back n forth stuff to do

Oh and Yes, still stuck looking for dumb spikes... I don't think I have one lolol

On the 3rd crystal, would you have to read all the scrolls in order, or once you've read one set (the 4 colors) you can go to another?
