Jipay Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 well from what I can see, it is obviously real gold. Now I am wandering if it's an authenthenic ring or not. If it's an authentic one, then we should find which mummy it is belonging to since this kind of ring was used in mortuar ceremonies.
xwingyoda Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Mister Kulo, we are waiting for Mister Brickster to show us the next room.
WesternOutlaw Posted July 17, 2005 Author Posted July 17, 2005 Dining Room You've decided to climb back up the ladder, leave the kitchen, and venture into the next room. You open the door from the Main Hall to find the dining room with a single large oak table and six wooden chairs. The walls of this room are red and black, and a hanging lighting ficture illuminates the room. On the opposite side of the room is a large china cabinet with several drawers and a small table with single drawer and a small lamp. Two large french doors on the North wall open to a small grass area overlooking the cliff. You can hear a strong wind howling outside.
Mr. Lego-builder Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 I might want to look in the drawers (all of them). Also, is there anything hidden in/under/on the lamp? I would also inspect the underside of the table and chairs. I wonder what clues we can find here...
Athos Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Lets turn the lamp on? Its kind of dark in there... Steve
xwingyoda Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 I suggest we also open the two large french doors on the North wall and inspect the grassy area.
Sarg_Kulo Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 I say some of us investigate outside on the grassy area near the cliff
xwingyoda Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Mister Kulo, I guess it all depends on the surface of the aforesaid grassy area.
Sarg_Kulo Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Mister Kulo, I guess it all depends on the surface of the aforesaid grassy area. I don't understand what you mean.
Mr. Lego-builder Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 I think he means the size and dangers in the area. If the grassy area is huge, then of course more, if not all of us should go outside to speed things up. Also, there is safety in numbers, so the more people there are in one place, we will be more aware of the dangers. Yoda, this is only my insight into this. Futher explain your opinions to us, if you may...
xwingyoda Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Friends, My apologies for creating this little discussion due to my lack of explenations. If the grassy area is shallow, going in large numbers would create an important risk for our safety. Therefore, I would totally agree with Mister Kulo, we should explore this area in a very small group. On the other hand, if the grassy area is really large, we should all go together as a one single group. It would be easier to pick up clues, if any. Mister Bildur is right concerning our safety, we should try to stick together as much as we can for safety reasons and to avoid people becoming supicious of one another for no apparant reasons. This mystery is just starting and we have no idea on the duration of our stay in this mansion. Mister Brickster, would you be so kind to open those doors so we can have a better understanding of the situation. thank you in advance.
WesternOutlaw Posted July 20, 2005 Author Posted July 20, 2005 Symbols Under the Chairs The French doors open to an area of about 100-150 square feet (rectangular shaped), that overlooks the ocean. The north wall of the mansion is much longer than the overhang not allowing for one to venture around the space to either side of the house. Appears that there is no escape from this North end unless one were to go down (over the cliff). You turn on the small lamp in the dining room to better illuminate the room also checking the lamp closely. Nothing strange or outstanding about the lamp. The small table has a single drawer that you open to find silverware (forks, knives, and spoons). When you attempt to open the drawers of the china cabinet, however, you discover that all six drawers are locked. Each drawer has a single key hole. Mr. Lego Builder examines the underside of the six chairs very closely. Etched on the underside of four of the chairs are symbols; a single and different symbol on each of the chairs. In no particular order are the following symbols:
The Middleman Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 ALKI... ILKA... KAIL... KILA... KIAL... LIAK... LIKA...
Mr. Lego-builder Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 ALKI... ILKA... KAIL... KILA... KIAL... LIAK... LIKA... What is this "gibberish" there, Bloody Jay? Whould you futher explain?
The Middleman Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 ALKI... ILKA... KAIL... KILA... KIAL... LIAK... LIKA... That is this "gibberish" there, Bloody Jay? Whould you futher explain? They're the letters that the hieroglyphs comprise.
Darkie Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 The letters according to some translations. They also stand for sounds. My best guess at this point is "Hrw rw ek een", though I'm still searching my memory for the translation. Were this a sentence, the cup, often representing a hard k sound, also is the representation for "Your." At the same time, the combination of the cup and the single reed leaf also represents the word, "other". I'll muse on this for a while. I don't think they simply stand for letters--those are not guaranteed.
Athos Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Aren't those hieroglyphics off the 2 x 1 x 5 bricks from the Egypt Adventurers sets? I'm pretty sure the last two are, at least. On further inspection they are all contained on there, except for the lion one... http://www.peeron.com/pics/inv/custpics/2454px1.jpg http://www.peeron.com/pics/inv/custpics/2454px2.jpg http://www.peeron.com/pics/inv/custpics/2454px3.jpg http://www.peeron.com/pics/inv/custpics/2454px4.jpg Steve
Sarg_Kulo Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 I still thnk we should split up. Have some exploring the grass area. And some expolore teh dining room...
xwingyoda Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 I have one interrogation: why only 4 symbols when there are 6 chairs !!!! Are all the chairs the exact same model ???? I think the symbols represent clues on the location of the 6 different keys that open each drawer of the China Cabinet. I think that there should be 2 more symbols that we have to find.
Jipay Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 has anybody noticed Kali is missing ? Anyway, I think
WesternOutlaw Posted July 20, 2005 Author Posted July 20, 2005 Q: I have one interrogation: why only 4 symbols when there are 6 chairs !!!! Are all the chairs the exact same model ???? A: The chairs are exactly the same, but only four of them have the symbols. Judging by the quality of the markings, they were probably made after the chairs (meaning not during manufacturing). Anyone could have etched these symbols into the chairs. Observation: I think the symbols represent clues on the location of the 6 different keys that open each drawer of the China Cabinet. I think that there should be 2 more symbols that we have to find. A: When looking at the key holes of the China cabinet, it is most probable that a single "skeleton-type" key would open all of the drawers.
Sarg_Kulo Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 I bet my whole Lego collection that there is a skeleton key somewhere in this mansion ;) Make a mental note, we will probably have to come back here?
