Lost Desert Plot Discussion #124 (Summary in First Post)

[Uracil]

I may have realized something. I realized that both times i tried to find my second crystal, both times failed. I did them in parts, half of it in one day, and the remaining in the following day (coz i couldnt find time to finish). Thus, it is possible that the repository 'restart' in a new day, and all scrolls u read in the past no longer count?

I don't think so, I did my third crystal in 3 or 4 days because I didn't have the time do to it all in 1 day. So I don't think the repository resets. I would find it kinda lame if it did.
My third crystal took me about 5 or 6 hours, and my internet is very fast. People with dial-up wouldn't even be able to make it in one day.

Can anyone expand on the word match for me please! The above are my tablet and lights but the single word match is confusing!

Thx!

Sure. It's like matching, or pairing, socks

On your tablet, the first symbol is an Ahn or Ankh; in the crystal "spectrum" the first colour is blue. Matching the colour to the symbol, that means a blue Ahn. But that's not necessarily the first scroll you need to find.

Here are the scrolls:

Blue Ahn, Blue Nem, Yellow Ben, Blue Ben;
Yellow Ben; Yellow Ben; Blank; Yellow Ben;
Blank; Red Tep; Red Saf; Red Saf;
Blank; Blank; Blue Tep; Red Djo.

Now follow the directions about using your card catalog to sort them. Lucky that you have so many Yellow Bens, that will go quickly!

Hope that helps.

Do I have to worry about the traps in the temple changing? I've already found my jelly trap, but I haven't finished my scroll reading yet, so will it change or not?

Oh, and again does it matter if I take a break between reading scrolls so long as I remember where I'm at?

[purplecatlover2003]

i dont know about the traps, i dont think they change but cant be sure.
nope you can take as many breaks as you want so long as you remember were you were at.

[arogance1]

Right, i have my 4th crystal. Now what?
Put it in the light blow a hole in the wall, get the scroll.

What do I do with the scroll?

[melmite]

Hi-de-hi everyone. Well, between working, sleeping and drinking I'm on to day 3 of trying to find a tupping spike trap. Oh well, I'm nearly done trying the first level of my temple, then it will start getting complicated. Wish me luck eh? I've got 3and a half hours before I'm back to the grindstone. Meh.

[Sylence]

no one knows about the scroll yet, but we keep hoping

[WyldOne]

...and crystal colors....

Hi Guys, I finally got the sharp eye.. In a previous split I asked for help as I was up to date with the plot and then all of a sudden my comp kept crashing whilst exploring and playing flash games on neopets(Flash.ocx problem) so Im way behind now.. I just want to thank all who did help me out espesially Jenny

I was wondering if I could go through a library door to get the spike trap and get my 2nd crystal?..

Oh and how long is the lock out time if you pick a wrong door?
Thanks

Its cool guys I just got the right trap on the 1st door I went through how lucky was that lol

[Meech]

One hour. Bad news if your umpteenth door is STILL not a jelly.

This plot made me smoke at least a pack of cigarettes, but here I am, cradling my scroll.

*rocks back and forth.

*considers smoking the scroll

I was extremely fortunate on the spike trap and the jelly trap, getting them both correctly on my very first guesses (they were both doors on the first screen of my temple.) For the riddle trap, I guessed wrong a couple of a times before remembering a specific door that had it. I only remembered because it was the first trap I encountered my first time into the temple and I was looking for a specific door before I really knew what I was doing.

I'm glad, too, or I would possibly have quit in frustration after all that stupid walking around the scroll repository. Glad that's all over.
