Lost Desert Plot Discussion #132 (Summary in First Post)

[Urthdigger]

Well, I got a draw and weakened Razul. Pity, I thought I'd have to fight him again so I quickly taught Bernlad burrow.

[Elric]

I am still waiting to see if Elric will endow me with an Engineer Driving Spike Into Skull icon

I searched high and low, and as far as I can see, that icon doesn't exist.

I will, however, endow you with my favourite computer frustration icon:


As for this plot, I think it might be coming to an end, but Razul will have to be defeated by a crudload of people before we see the end...

[Skynetmain]

maybe uncursing will unfreeze Nuria ... and that darn statue in Maraqua to start the next plot

I knew those new symbols were waaaayy too familiar to me! Found the reason back in split 79.

Edit: I don't know how long Nuria has been in stone, but isn't it coincidental that the Darkest Faerie has been cursed for as long as Jazan is old?

79! That was, like, forever ago! Man. Think how long ago that was. Reagon was President. The USSR was still going strong. Sharon McAuliffe was about to head into space. Those were the days.

Interesting coincidence about Jazan and the Darkest Faerie. Source of the curse maybe?

I'm really confused at Crystal III.

The four blank symbols I have are ra, kar, saf, and fer. What scrolls am I supposed to read, and in what order?

You'll read all three primary colors for each symbol. The correct color order will give you a room name. Go to that room to read the white scroll. There is a sequence in the first post that will help you determine which color order to use. Each symbol will have a different color order. Hope that helps a little.

Well, poo! I put in my prophecy, but I forgot the first letter of the whole darn phrase and it locked me out of the temple! I have to wait another whole hour!!! And I lost my freakin temple maps that I made, so I had to wander around blindly to find my statue door!! Aarrggghhh!!

Heh And you and Elric were still doing "comedy" on the boards! One of Elric's old comics is in that split.

On the Darkest Faerie / Qasala curse... it IS interesting that they seem to be of about the same duration. The Darkest Faerie story line is as old as the neoschools idea... but I don't remember ever hearing what it was that she did to cause Fyora to imprison her. Perhaps she and Jazan's papa were a team!

Aww... I hope you marked the location of that door this time around. The good news is, I don't think the lockout for the statue is an hour - maybe 30 minutes. Not exactly sure, but it should be in the first post somewhere.

[Huggles]

Whoa. That was like forever ago. That's some long distance foreshadowing you had going on.

I thought the darkest faerie was cursed 1000 years ago and Qasala disappeared 200 years ago. Was Jazan 800 years old when that happened? (Well maybe the healthcare system in Neopia is really good)

By the way, I have returned - or as my favourite World War 2 Propaganda Artist would say: "A lie repeated many times becomes the truth".

Does that seem even slightly relevant to you? If so then you're following my train of thought better than I am.

Hey, guys, I just woke up and found that there's a second tablet. I just put in all the pieces and all of the circles are white. Does that mean my tablet is right?

Actually, when you have the tablet entirely correct, all the circles will disappear and you'll have a Return to Fortune Teller button at the bottom. How many white circles do you have?

Edit:

Shhhh.... If you say that too loudly, someone might realize that I was the one who stole the Fortune Teller's real crystal ball.

It depends on the number of white circles. If you have 15 or less white circles, it's still not correct. If you have 16 right there shouldn't be any circles and no Accept Translation button.

I have twelve circles. There's no more circles after that and all of them are white.

Then you have twelve symbols correct. You also have 4 symbols that should not be included at all. You'll need to find the other 4. See IanB's earlier post in this thread for an excellent method to use.

Edit: There is a quote of Ian's post here, and some other explanations shortly afterwards.

Here's my second tablet that I just completed:

Oh, thanks for the link. I was looking for his post, lol.

Edit-- So, what do I have to do next? Go to the Fortune Teller? She still says the same thing as before and I didn't get the "You've translated the tablet into its Qasalan equivalent! But what does it mean?" message.

Should I go to the comics and click on all the symbols that are on my tablet now?
