Lost Desert Plot Discussion #114 (Summary in First Post)

Ugh, here I go waiting for my light to come on again so I can see the pattern for my second crystal. Can I expect it to come on at the same time it did before?
This is important as I have no internet connection at home, and spending 8 hours in a cafe waiting for the light is...um...not very economical.

It comes at the same time every day. and two other times at 8 hour intervals, but it's always the same times.

i got the point of doing things,but...

i did a red scroll twice on accident and i need a red and a yellow...

do i have to start all over?

Thank you kindly. I guess I'll be back tomorrow then.

Nope, just start from that pair. If you're supposed to read red first, I say just go on to yellow. if you're supposed to read yellow first, you'll have to go read it then back to the red

Sorry To Rant ^^;; but this reading of scrolls is doing my damned Head in, 3 Times, 3 bloody Times i've gone through my first set of Scroll reading and not once have I got the message about the Eye >> Starting to get a little mad at the minute, I can't see what i'm doing wrong, i've been through the colour thing many times incase I got it wrong, I did at first but all that was, was a blank at the end I missed so I jut had to notch the colour up one.

My colour scheme was:
BYBR
BYYR
XYBR
XXRX

Tablet is :
Paw wave Cup Tower
Flags Wave cup Cup
Cup Leaf Ankah Sun
Y Y Eye Paw

(srry fotr the names, I don't remember the real ones ^^; )

I have got a feeling it's the two Yellow Waves that i'm reading, but I've read them both one after another (clicked once, then clicked back to the scroll repository, then clicked it again) I've read the directory on where to go but I dunno, i'm wantingto give up =(

So let's break down your scrolls by your system, OK?
Blue Paw
Yellow Wave
Blue Cup
Red Tower
Blue Flags
Yellow Wave
Yellow Cup
Red Cup
Yellow Leaf
Blue Ankh
Red Sun
Red Eye

Then, we arrange by color:
Blue Paw
Blue Cup
Blue Flags
Blue Ankh
Yellow Wave
Yellow Wave
Yellow Cup
Yellow Leaf
Red Tower
Red Cup
Red Sun
Red Eye

Now, you have to figure out which color to read first - look at your original useless crystal. There are three dots on the top - Red, Yellow, and Blue. You'll read the scrolls from each color in that order. All reds, all yellows, and all blues, in whatever order the dots on top of your crystal are. So if your crystal has RYB at the top, you'll read all the reds, then all the yellows, then all the blues.

Before reading them, you have to organize them according to your card catalog. Look at the catalog and arrange the scrolls within each color grouping in the order they're in in the catalog, top to bottom. If Red Cup is above Red Tower in the catalog, read Red Cup first, even though it comes later on your tablet.

Where are the:
Annuals of Insanity & Ruki Population Survey?

And if you go to the first post and find the maps, below that list, it also lists a petpage. that's the appledumpling map. it has all the rooms you're trying to find.

Here is my 2nd crystal colors....

GGXPGXOXXXGXXXPP

My first tablet piece is a BEN, my last is a RA.

Do I apply my tablet like we did with the first crystal? If so, then in my case I'm starting with BEN and RA would be last, BUT when I read the scrolls, I'm starting at the purple RA and ending at the green BEN. Is this correct?

I understand everything else, just trying to understand how to apply the tablet as mentioned above. Thanks for the help.

You have it exactly right. The colors go on your tablet the same way as before, but you move backwards when you read the scrolls.

All right. Cool. Thanks for the confirmation, Cilian. Now time to escalate my sinus headache by completing what needs to be done for this 2nd crystal. Looks like I need to take some tylenol. hehe.

Just got my 2nd Crystal Lights and am slowly making my way back down to the Scroll Directory (30 minutes on dial-up!).

I have figured out what scrolls to read but have to wait til I get home tonight before I can start reading scrolls as it is very difficult navigating on dial-up. Perhaps by that time someone will have figured out what to do with the 3rd crystal; I have found a Jelly trap so can get that far.

WHEW!!
