Lost Desert Plot Discussion #136 (Summary in First Post)

[Rayen]

Ahhhhh! I've gotten so behind in all of this because of work, and now it's all so daunting!

Wish me luck!

More power to you Rayen! some people would just think about it and wouldn't go to the trouble... but there is something to be said for persistance!

hiddenneggs... that was beautiful....

What do you mean?

Hiddenneggs - you wasted 2 minutes and 37 seconds of my life. Between everyone who has read your post you have wasted probably days.

Skynetmain - don't even get me started on you.

But in truth, the real culprit is TNT, for the loose ends with which this plot is plagued.

I do agree that they need to hire someone like you guys to fix this (well maybe not hiddenneggs - that was just ridiculous *looks for 'face in hands' emoticon and doesn't find one so thinks of kicking table but ends up just going "meh" in a disgruntled way*).

Oh yeah - good luck Rayen. I have to warn you though, it gets pretty disheartening (for me at least). But persevere!

Although contents of post may indicate otherwise no insult was intended, please do not bombard me with decaying vegetable matter

Oh yeah number 2, to actually say something on topic - it's pretty obvious that Jazan's going to save the day and be transferred straight from the gallery of evil to the gallery of heroes.

Also, for those of you who haven't looked at Razul in the gallery of evil yet, his entry gives some much-needed info on him, although said info doesn't seem to mesh too well with the "sakhmet you imprisoned me" rant he gave.

Speaking of rants: End rant.

Crystal 3...

I'm going to hate this randomness...

[phreakypants]

I've been reading through previous posts, and can't find anything so far to help me, although I'm also half-awake right now so that could be it. I'm still trying to get through the temple to find my second crystal, the problem is, the one door I found that led to a spike trap had no image. Is it random whether the image shows up or not, or is it supposed to be there? I also don't remember seeing any images inside my rooms while I was getting the pieces of my tablet except for the library rooms.

I was stuck with my third crystal where you have to take the blanks and try every random colour combination untill it gives you a location for a blank scroll. As I said in earlier post my laptop mouse key button was set too sensitive and opened a scroll which I didn't want to read. After that I tried to do the sequence again and again and as advised tried it on Firefox but not a sausage, no location for a blank scroll or riddle trap. This morning I had another furtile look at the scroll repository and found this: Hey! You've been looking for this!


Useless Crystal
which looked like the second crystal all over again.

I'm wondering if it has been reset now and I can do it over again. And at what stage do I do it again? Ah well I'll go to the model city and see if it can shed any light (haha) on it.

Edit: Just had a thought. If it has reset me at the end of 2nd crystal then all I need to do is go and fetch the next crystal out of the jelly trap again and I do not need to go to the model city because the lights will not have been changed. Because the lights aren't on at the moment I give that a go first. Unless someone has a better idea... I do so want to finish the plot. I was up to date with everything untill I got stuck in a rut with this one.

2nd edit: I have been to the jelly trap and there is no crystal there. I go and try my luck doing the random colour sequence for my blank scrolls again. Cross fingers I'll get lucky this the 12th or so time.

Well I've just finished my first crystal, but I didn't get any message about a "sharp eye" does this mean I've done it wrong? I followed all the steps as far as I can tell and read all the correct scrolls. Where does this message appear?

The message will appear at the last scroll you have to read. So you must have missed out on the sequence somehow.

Your pet deciphers the scroll!

"A sharp eye holds the next step."

Hmm, if you mess it up (like I obviously have) do you have to go back to the city and place your crystal again?

I don't think you have to do that, because the light sequence will not have changed. You probably have to start over again reading your scrolls. I'm not overly sure though, maybe if someone can confirm that.

Thats correct you dont have to place the crystal in the model agin as you already have your light sequence..

I just noticed the 16th chapter - don't know if anyone mentioned it already.

[background_noise]

Nothing new yet at the Gift Shop, the Fortune Teller, the Lost Desert, the Card Catalog, or the Chef.

[Confused, lost & help]

OK, this is probably just a stupid question but has anyone tried to do anythin with the symbols in the background of the model room. I don't know, like highlight them in the comic or look behind the doors in the tomb with those symbols above them or something?
I started trying to highlight the symbols in my comic but having problems with pages loading again.
This is just a suggestion, so can ppl refrain from being rude or saying its a stupid idea. I know everyone has the same symbols in there model room, so I just thought I'd throw this out there.

Hi ,

I'm not sure whether anybody has asked this b4 but hope u all can help.

Need some help with getting the third crystal. I have fallen into the jelly trap but I did not get any picture of the jelly blob, just words, thus no crystal . I have already completed all the tasks (such as getting 2nd crystal and reading all the scrolls to get the clue).

The same actually happened for the 2nd crystal but thanks to the link provided i was able to get the 2nd crystal.

Is there a link for the 3rd crystal too?

I would suggest that you view the source code and find the link in it yourself. You'll notice the ucmc part just like for the second. The same can be done for your fourth when the time comes.

However, it sounds like some type of security setting is what is causing your images not to display. You might consider disabling any type of adblocking programs while in the temple to see if it helps.
