What scroll description do you mean?
Library doors
The libraries should have these scrolls:
river - Fer, Djo, Tep, Kar
maze - Ben, Lat, Saf, Nem
time - Ra, Set, Ahn, Kha

Yes, I know about the library doors. I posted those. I'm asking which scroll description they mean.

Seems that there are a wave of scratchcard hoarding going around since the city disappeared and the LD kiosk with it. LD scratchcards might go way up while the others go down (due to LD buyers buying from elsewhere).

You probably typed it in wrong, or if you "copy and pasted" make sure you don't leave a space in front of the 1st word, as the space gets read as a character.

Lol. I don't really think only checking 2 out of 12 doors and not finding the statue yet is any trouble at all. You have 10 doors left to check, just keep at it and you'll find your statue.

I don't know what you could be doing wrong. Check your tablet and make sure you have it exactly correct.
Try cutting and pasting ... just make sure you don't include a space at the beginning.
It should work.

I didn't get covered either. But I think it was a problem with firefox not refreshing.. when I refreshed the fortune teller page she made the comment about being covered with scarabs.

What scroll description do you mean?
That should have been plural, sorry. The item descriptions of the scrolls given in an RE.
Here's the list:
Glyph: Item Name: Description:
set Royal Proclamations of Coltzan Vol 13 Here you might find a hunter or cup
ben Sand Cuisine for Elephantes Here you cannot tell one path from the next
nem Decorating With Sand - Winter Quarterly Here you might never be heard from again
djo Desert Petpets: A Cautionary Tale Here you might weather a deadly flood
ahn The Joy of Burnt Desert Food Here you can navigate by points of light
ra Desert Tent Zoning Regulations Here you can look ages into the past
lat The Chemical Properties of Sand Here you could be terribly lost
tep History of the Sakmet Dynasty Vol 3 Here you could sail from lake to sea
saf Ruki Population Survey Vol 5 Here you could wander with no end in sight
kha Famous Sand Collections Here you can see suns far away
kar Edible Desert Foliage Vol 9 Here you can take a cool drink
fer Desert Survival Skills for the Dim-Witted Here you will find rushing rapids
Back when only three had been discovered, I suggested a link between the descriptions and the library doors. Then, we only knew the description for kar, nem and ra, "Here you can look ages into the past," so I called the "dot to dot" door a timeline. After the others have been found (kha, ahn, & set) I think it's obvious those descriptions tell us the door is actually stars and constellations. The river (fer, kar, tep & djo) and maze (saf, lat, nem and ben) I believe are still accurate.
EDIT: Now that that's a little more clear (I hope.) Here's what I was throwing out earlier, if any one has any ideas.
With that theory proven, maybe there is something else in the actual item scrolls that we are missing. Since the descriptions seem to point to library doors, maybe the titles refer to something else? I considered places in the Lost Desert, but most of those that seemed to fit are now missing. Any thoughts?
Re-Edit - typos

Thank you. That makes a lot more sense and it also explains the filename. The time library has now been changed to the astral library.
Btw, where did you find all the descriptions? I thought only three of the scrolls had been found.
