Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but something odd if going on with Nabile's headband in Chapter 13. It is pink until the last frame. In the last frame it bacomes one of those gold snake thingies.

don't you think that was just part of Jaran's mama's costume??

Also in the last comic, that bird helping Nabile get dressed up mentions that Jazan is supposed to wed a princess of Sakhmet, yet the Fortune Teller reads our Mysterious Scroll and says, "Jazan must marry a true princess of Qasala to break the curse.' That explains why he wanted to marry Amira, but... she's not a Qasalan princess. Is she?"

Why the distinction between Sakhmet and Qasala? Which is which? Is TNT treating them the same? If Qasalan is an "ancient dialect of Sakhmetian"?

Are we sure the white scroll order is really random? Or it just something celver? (on one of my later sets, I have anubis AND the 4th floor. I hate to think about having to make that trek possibly three times)

No. She is wearing a black headband with the dress.

'That bird,' a Pteri, also mentions 'our history.' The Pteri, if Qasalan, and Jazan are only Qasalans that don't look like mummies. Speaking of mummies, does it bother anyone else that Tomos' guard says Jazan will have his hide for losing Tomos when it is obvious that the mummy is only bones? That has bugged me.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I think the Pteri is female since Nabile changes her clothes right in from of her without freaking out. I don't think TNT would allow that sort of gender oversight. Just a heads up to anyone that wants to site this.

I guess the mummy has nothing to lose then, does he?

That's a good point. If the rest of the Qasalans besides Jazan are mummified, why not the pteri? And if the pteri is special, why is he being a simple gaurd? Or does Jazan suspect something special about Nabile? Or did TNT just mess up? So many questions....

I'm having an incredibly hard time trying to find a Jelly trap. I keep getting the same traps over and over! >.< It's driving me nuts.

It took me 20 tries to find a spike trap. Makes the rest of the traps easy to find afterwards if you remember where they are, but yes, very frustrating.

Interesting coincidence... it took me 20 tries to find a jelly trap. Luckily I found and recorded the location of a riddle trap (only one -- but about 6 spike traps) in the process.

On to the third (and I hope last) round of scroll reading.

Almost done here!
Got my fourth crystal and am waiting for the light.

Thanks so much to you guys for helping me out - especially when I had some really stupid questions.

I just found a riddle trap!... Trouble is, I'm still looking for a spike trap. Oh well, I marked the riddle trap on my map so it will be easy to find if I ever get that far.

Since scroll reading is still in vogue, has it been tested whether we should read our library scroll in the temple again? What I mean is, I am a Djo. Would I have to go to the temple library with the Djo scroll and read that again with the mysterious scroll in my inventory?

If this has been tested, sorry for asking again, but I didn't notice this idea since last night.

Edit: Refined my statement.

I have gone Scroll Crazy...but I checked just to be sure...the catalogue is the same as it was for the last crystal piece...so chances are we are done with reading scrolls in the repository.
