Mr. Lego-builder Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Okay now, we should indeed head into the next room, but the control panel could mean something more. Even if the switches don't do anything inside this room, it could open a door or passageway somewhere else. Perhaps the uunderground tunnel or possibly some other locked item? But we can set this idea aside for now, because we should head into the next room.
WesternOutlaw Posted August 12, 2005 Author Posted August 12, 2005 Pete says with dismay, "I think we've been everywhere we can. Did anyone see another door"?
Mr. Lego-builder Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 :| *wacko* How about the single door leading to the bedroom? Is there any way to open it? Or are we forced to roam around the mansion looking for clues again? This one is a true mystery with a surprisingly hard plot, I must say. Still no hints whatsoever? As far as I can see, we are not getting anywhere like this...
WesternOutlaw Posted August 13, 2005 Author Posted August 13, 2005 Stumped Pete responds, "I believe that single door to the bedroom was locked. We might want to try analyzing some of the clues that we've found, starting with the initials on the blackboard. What could R.C. stand for? And what was Crowley trying to tell us in Latin"? "And what did the Egyptian hieroglyphics etched under the chairs in the dining room mean". These may provide a clue. There may be other clues that we missed. I really think we need to analyze what we've found. Bloody Jay, did we interpret the Latin correctly"? Pete asks.
The Middleman Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 I've been working on it for a while, and I now've fixed a lot of the bad words... they are after me if you can read this they are after me they are in my house I can hear them they want to scare me find the symbols I have left them for you If I die add the letters the word is easy but I can not spell it beware evil is among you sorry my Latin is not good R.C.
Mr. Lego-builder Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 Now that makes more sense...bt now this takes us back to the symbols under the chair confusion. What is the word? All attempts so far has not proven successful... And what does he mean by "adding" the letters? The present available letters are to be joined together in some way? Or is there more to be actually added to the mystery word?
Athos Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 Did we ever figure out what the letters were? I can't remember. And the "they" is interesting. Sounds like we might have more that one murderer on our hands :o Steve
Mr. Lego-builder Posted August 17, 2005 Posted August 17, 2005 More than one murderer: Unlikely... More than one person who influenced the murder: Highly possible... And you a can refer to the CLUES index to backtrack on our previous clues, Athos.
Akkhraziel Posted August 18, 2005 Posted August 18, 2005 As far as adding the symbols, again you could get the notion of Kali, or if you turn it into the most basic of codes, where a=1, adding K+A+L+I= 33, though the significance of that is not yet known. It also could be neither of those, but I'd figure I'd stop lurking in the shadows and give you something to chew on. If nothing else, if is the old 'see through the keyhole' style of antique lock on that bedroom door, that can be easily picked with a credit card, if no one objects to me doing so. We had one of those in the second office I worked in. Akkh
WesternOutlaw Posted August 19, 2005 Author Posted August 19, 2005 Unfortunately, attempts to pick the lock to the bedroom do not work. Pete states, "the Latin phrase said something about a common word that Crowley could not say. Maybe this refers to the symbols. I don't think KALI is a common word. Also, I think we should look at some of these books a little closer. Does anyone have any thoughts"?
Athos Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 Alkali would work, if we doubled up on the A and the L? Since there were six chairs, maybe we should be doubling up on two of the letters. And how sure are we that those are the actual letters? Whoever translated them for us, could be the murderer and trying to throw us off track. Steve
Darkie Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 See, here's the thing with heirglyphs--the same sign has different meaning in different contexts. It can also have a different phonetic value. So, as far as we know, the letters are K, L, A, and I. You can group them how you see fit. Does the ring carry any heiroglyphs? Are there any similarities?
Mr. Lego-builder Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 Where is the ring now? I don't remember, but we could each try on the ring to see if it fits any of us to get closer to the actual murderer. If it was done before, ignore this. ;)
xwingyoda Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 The ring is in my right pocket Mister Bildur !!! Shall we try the ring on all of us then ?? I am for it if everyone in our group agrees to do so. The only thing we know for sure is that the ring was not fitting the fingers of the deceased Mister Crowley.
Darkie Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 Well. One of the Poems in the book by E.A.R. reads: The House on the Hill 1 They are all gone away, 2 The House is shut and still, 3 There is nothing more to say. 4 Through broken walls and gray 5 The winds blow bleak and shrill: 6 They are all gone away. 7 Nor is there one to-day 8 To speak them good or ill: 9 There is nothing more to say. 10 Why is it then we stray 11 Around the sunken sill? 12 They are all gone away, 13 And our poor fancy-play 14 For them is wasted skill: 15 There is nothing more to say. 16 There is ruin and decay 17 In the House on the Hill: 18 They are all gone away, 19 There is nothing more to say. I find that to be rather ominous, don't you? Perhaps we can flip to the page that contains this poem, and see if anything is written there at all.
WesternOutlaw Posted August 22, 2005 Author Posted August 22, 2005 Book by Edgar Allen Poe Pete examines the Edgar Allen Poe Book and states, "It appears that this book does not contain Poe's short poems. The Raven is not here either and that is one of my favorites. You must have recalled this one from memory. This book contains most of Poe's short stories (pictured). You do, however, definately have keen detective skills and a mind for solving mysteries. I would suggest that we look at the worn book, perhaps. Poems by Edward Arlington Robinson; seems out of place among these mystery and horror stories". The others begin trying on the scarab ring. It fits most of you.
Athos Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 No Poe poems... I wonder if that is significant. Too bad I just gave away my book of Poe's poems, or we could look for one that applies to our situation here :( Steve
Akkhraziel Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 *chuckles at the mention of 'The Raven'* Perhaps we might venture back downstairs. There was still the matter of the outside thast some wanted to examine. Akkh
Athos Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 Looks like Clue has died back a little bit... Anyhow, can we look through the books for that poem Darkie quoted? Also, has anyone notice we haven't seem to have found a bedroom? Does that strike anyone as curious, a mansion with no sleeping quarters? Finally, that poem's stanzas are numbered. What if we took the stanza that corresponded to the number that corresponded to the letter that corresponded to the chair symbol? Or is that too much correspondance? 1 They are all gone away, 9 There is nothing more to say 11 Around the sunken sill? 12 They are all gone away, Steve
Athos Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 On review I just caught something quite important. K+A+L+I = 33 (assuming we use the simple alpha-numeric code) There are also the same number (33) stars on the Oregon state seal... Back to the hallway! Steve, who wonders why OR would have 33 stars. Is it the 33rd state?
Mr. Lego-builder Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 Oregon is as a matter of fact, our 33rd state... So what do you guys think? Is there something to do with the 33rd star? Maybe we should examine it more closely...

The poem Darkie mentioned is not in the book. The locked door on the 2nd floor hall leads to a bedroom.
Athos Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 It refers to a word which he couldn't spell. I wonder if it could be "union." That is the only word I see on the seal. Steve
Athos Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 The Edgar Allen Poe book does not contain Poe's poetry, but rather his short stories. The poem Darkie mentioned is not in the book. Yes. I'd expect that, since the poem was by EAR, not EAP. Could we check out the EAR books? Steve
