Just like back in the pre-Win3.1 days...

[Xion]

Look: Bag of NoJuice
Look: Thirdnotestrudel
Status: Party

[Radium]

That's the Pre-3.1 spirit, Xi!

The Bag of Nojuice is a small brown bag containing a runny dark purple substance. Surprisingly, the fabric bag does not leak.

The Thirdnotestrudel is a satanic mechanisim of great power and unknown use. Created from the Third Page, Sporkstrudel, and Irrelevent note, the device looks somewhat like a metal pastery wrapped in paper.

[Radium]

Araches's spell knowledge contains no healing spells.

The Snufuss Skin is a sinister blue scaled cloth with green and white highlights. Snufuss skin has been equipped as a coat.

[Strato]

Nice coat!


I'll go back to my fort strato and collapse onto the bed. Theorticly, I wil be fully healed. After word, I'll go pick some more NoBerries and start a berry bank. After that I'll take a small squirrelish animal and shove a no berry into its mouth to see what they actually do.

[Violet CLM]

Choose Faw as small squirrelish animal.
Tell Faw to heal everyone.
Consult Brain for Best (course of action).

[Radium]

<b>You head back to Fort Strato and wait in your bed for several ours before discovering that that RPG trick doesn't work here. Fawriel is told to heal everyone, so he does. You are unable to find any more Noberries. You try to consult your brain for the best course of action, but it seems to be idle at the moment. Would you like to make Faw drink the Nojuice?

[Grath]

Make Faw drink a little nojuice, then try to find more berries, of any kind.

[Radium]

<B>Faw takes a sip of the Nojuice and instantly becomes a complete pessimist. You go to look for more berries, even though Faw tries to convince you that your quest is completly futile and you are all going to die. You found one Traftonberry!</b>

And 4I Falcon should check his PMs more often.

[Grath]

You feed Faw the Trafton berry.

[Radium]

<b>You are a cruel soul. <s>Sadly</s> Luckily, Nothing happens.</b>

[Grath]

Whack faw on the head a couple times to snap him out of pessimism, then send him hunting for berries.

[Radium]

<b>Fawriel finds 88 Traftonberries. You know, you could find something better to do than pick flowers all day.</b>

[Grath]

Inventory check!

[Strato]

I'll go get the dagger, take some trafton berries, and go to the other side of the island and explore. When I get back I'll cut down some trees, and build a boat. (btw: we still have and eraser)

[Grath]

I said ON, not IN.

You try to steal the troll's club.

[Radium]

<b>You eat the noberry and your left arm starts shaking uncontrolably. Still wish to carry out the plan?</b>

[Grath]

Redo plan!
Eat 6 more noberries, so your body starts shaking like an old dryer on high. Then, while the troll is distracted, Arches, l337z4n, and Faw steal the club.

[aeshibby13]

Beat the living pulp out of the Troll and make Troll juice.

[Radium]

Going with Grath, he beat Shibby.

<b>You eat another Noberry. Your eyes start glowing red. You eat another, and you begin seeing flying pink elephants. You eat a third, and you grow a fro. You eat another one, and Can't feel your tounge. You eat another, and everyone's voice sounds like a robot. You eat one more, and though you're not entirely sure what it did, Fawriel suddenly looks quite attractive.

[aeshibby13]

Have Arches eat a noberry and maybe she'll turn straight. Then ask her to marry you.

[Radium]

<b>You feed Araches a Noberry. She begins to levitate.</b>

[aeshibby13]

Grab onto Araches' foot and fly to New Zealand.

[Radium]

<b>It'd really be smarter not to, as the affects of the first Noberry you ate are already wearing off.</b>

[Grath]

Arches takes control, and, seeing what happened to Uberbob, she tosses about 10 noberries into the troll's mouth.

[Radium]

<b>Without going into detail, I can say the troll has been reduced to a smoldering pulp with exotic flowers growing in it.</b>

[aeshibby13]

Crystal: The yellow orange crystal is angular and pointed, hence the name "crystal". Not much else can be said from your current knowledge of it.

Pedistal: The stone pedistal has the orb sitting on it. It looks strangely like the pedistal pictured in the carvings. You don't know the pedistal's purpouse, or why the crystal and orb both aren't on it, but it gives you a headache thinking about it.

Now, this is the tricky part...

While grabbing the nearest shiny thing (crystal or orb), Cast Town Pipe and Go back to the Trading Post to rejoin party.

If done simoutaniously, the arrows will just hit air since fawriel grabbed the crystal and warped out before the arrows launched.

[Violet CLM]

Walk around pedestal.
Cut darts into tiny pieces with dagger.
Make sure nobody is where the darts usually land.
Take Orb.

[Radium]

Going with what Acid said because you are all thinking WAY too hard.
<b>The orb is already on the pedestal, so you take the crystal. You note that upon lifting the crystal you see the bones and muscle inside your hand through the crystal's surface.</b>

[acid]

Replace orb with crystal.

[Xion]

but did I get the crystal?

(Page claim in the name of the X-ray Crystal)

[Violet CLM]

if (acid's_plan) != work:
Cut Crystal into two flat pieces using Dagger.
Cut some rubber off of the Rubber Tire using Dagger.
Attach Flat Crystal Shards to Rubber using Duct Tape.
Use result as Glasses.

[Radium]

<b>You seem unable to cut the crystal. You swap the orb and crystal, leaving the crystal on the pedestal. You note that through the orb's translucent surface, you see a white outline of your hand behind it.</b>

[acid]

Omb My Tire >(((

[Xion]

wait.

If when you picked up the orb, didn't the arrows shoot?

If not, then they already activated, so both can be taken! XD

[Violet CLM]

Get Araches to cast Haste on Fawriel (if not already done).
Control: Fawriel.
Get everyone out of the room.
Throw Orb at Crystal.
Run away.

[Radium]

<b>Watch out, Violet. These are heat seeking darts made from the finest n00bshop. He switched the Orb and Crystal, Xion. But if you want your party descriptively mauled again, go ahead.</b>

[acid]

Look around through orb

[Violet CLM]

Make L33tz4n cast lots of Butterflies.
Send the Butterflies to surround the Dart Shooting area.
Take Crystal and hope for the best.

[Radium]

Please please please give up, Unknown. Acid pretty much figured it out.
<b>Looking around through the orb, you see white outlines of all your party, the walls, and everything around you. You are not entirely sure what the orb does.</b>

[Violet CLM]

Ask if anyone else knows the the orb does.
Leave the cavern and try looking through the orb in daylight.

(if all else fails) Juggle the orb.

[Xion]

Shine the Flashlight through the orb.

Look at the carvings on the wall through the orb.

[Radium]

<b>Nobody knows what the orb does. You look at the sun, shine the light, look at the carvings, and only see their outlines also. After determining one-ball juggling isn't fun, you return to the pedistal. Violet, I thought you'd be staring at Araches's clothes through the crystal until she noticed she could see the insides of your eyes.</b>

[Xion]

Swap orb for crystal.
Look at carvings through crystal.

[Violet CLM]

Now that's just rude. Fawriel's new hair would be more interesting to look at.
(If the name ends with s, isn't there supposed to be no s after the ' for the possessive noun?)

Ask Araches who Pandora is.

[Radium]

<b>Even the Thirdnotestrudel is not strong enough to open the lock. None the less, you try to get a glimpse of pandora's diary through the crystal.

"Who <i>is</i> Pandora? you ask Araches.

She thinks for a moment. "Pandora was a (rather hot) girl who enjoyed making annoying puzzles. After her death from not remembering the puzzle combination to the enchanted chains he some reason installed in her swimming pool, mages discovered a great puzzle left on her island. Practically every one of her belongings were part of it."</b>

[Violet CLM]

[Radium]

<b>Popping another berry in the poor Snufuss' mouth (watching the creature turn orange) you ask Araches how many belongings Pandora had.

"I'm not sure," she responds, "but... were you really trying to pick that lock with <i>that</i> dagger?"

Fawriel, who is behind you, hears this. "That piece of crud? That could barely cut a shoelace!"<HINT HINT OMG MAJOR HINT></b>

[Violet CLM]

Make Snufuss open lock.
"Uhhh... well, I have this thing about locks... if I see one, I have to stick things in it."

[Xion]

(I think some of those Noberries have hallucenagative effects.)

[Radium]

<b>I already stated the crystal couldn't see through stone. You have a huge invintory, and you choose to look into the one thing you can't see into? Ah well, you find another rock. You think it has mica flakes in it because.... it's sparkly.</b>

Inf. Spaz got this freakishly correct, but not entirely. You return to the trading post and switch the sparkly rock for the broken can opener. You then repair the can opener, open the can, and find a key. However, it isn't the key to the gate (the gate has no lock). I'll save you an easy step and unlock the diary.

<b>You and your party bend closer to the skeleton to take a look. No bones are broken, this person probably drowned. Of course, no sooner do you get near the edge of the pool than glowing chains shoot from it's depths and tear you into the pool, painfully smashing you on the ground. Well, now closer to the silver item you can see it's a set of car keys. Only now do you remember Araches's story about Pandora, and how she died forgetting how to dispell enchanted chains in her pool. Well, now you know why she was in the rigged pool to begin with; she had dropped her car keys. The chains tighten around your bodies, pulling the three of you tighter to the ground. You also notice the white foam still comes from the pool because it's rabid, and like the alligator this prevents all magic (including load game and town pipe).

Anyway, switching control to L33tz4n:

Five hours and four bottles of Jolt (courtesy of invisible gremlins) later, you finally finish decrypting Pandora's Harddrive.

I can almost believe these two are the same, but not quite. ("he some reason"? "she for some reason"?) After all, if you can't use magic at the pool, how would you be able to dispell them in the first place?
Of course, dispelling them doesn't even go with Pandora reaching for a silvery object, which is presumably the combination thing. (Reaching? If she forgot the combination, wouldn't that mean she had already reached it?)
So let's assume that Radium has edited Pandora's story to be dispelling instead of a combination. In that case, the pool must have been new, and Pandora forgot about it being rabid while testing the chains.
And that leads us to the conclusion that this is not Pandora at all, but some random skeleton who happens to be trapped by enchanted chains. Either that, or Uberbob's memory of Araches' story is inaccurate. Or using a combination lock counts as dispelling for some strange reason.

Meanwhile, the party shouldn't be in any danger. The chains seem to be there for the sole purpose of holding the captive(s) underwater long enough to drown them, as none of the skeleton's bones are broken. About the only problem is that they're stuck.
And so, Fawriel should try eating some noberries.

[Radium]

<b>You're making two assumtions there. First, you don't know what the puzzle was; it could very well <i>be</i> to dispell the chains. Second, you're assuming the pool was always rabid. As for the forgotten S... I'm too lazy to go fix that so let's say she had a swimming pool installer put the chains in. And we've already learned that the silver object is her car keys. Pandora dropped her keys in the pool, dived in to get them, the chains got her, and she couldn't remember how to cast "dispell".

And Fawriel can not eat a noberry because his arms are tied down. As are Uberbob's.</b>

[Violet CLM]

First, you don't know what the puzzle was; it could very well <i>be</i> to dispell the chains.
Pandora dropped her keys in the pool, dived in to get them, the chains got her, and she couldn't remember how to cast "dispell".
I'm not sure you'd really forget "how to cast" a puzzle combination.
Also, if you were drowning due to being trapped by enchanted chains, would you still be trying to get your car keys, or trying to get the chains off of you? I'd say the second, unless the car keys have some special use in the situation, and seeing as magic in this world doesn't seem to need any components... (though studying for dark arts seems to)

But I'll admit I was assuming the pool was always rabid, due to not being able to envision some animal biting a pool.
(Uberbob's memory of what Araches said is still not what Araches said)

[Fawriel]

<s>Remember: data on Pandora's harddrive</s>


EDIT: Nevermind, found out myself.

Okay, then..

Positions : party, see-through-stuff-crystal
Analyze: sky above pool

[Radium]

Also, if you were drowning due to being trapped by enchanted chains, would you still be trying to get your car keys, or trying to get the chains off of you?
You have no right to make this statement until you see Pandora's Car.

<b>You can not reach the Crystal due to the chains, but that does not stop you from looking at the sky. Now, why did you do that? You know you're just provoking me... and look, a storm appears to be brewing.</b>

[Fawriel]

...eh?
So what the heck is that darn phrase there for... pff.

[Radium]

<b>What phrase?

You'd best switch control back to L33tz4n before I decide a monsoon would be nice.</b>

[Fawriel]

The darn phrase on Pandora'S HARDDRIVE! >_<
"The Sphere of Sky Sees the Truth"!

Pageclaim in the name of Rad's lack of potential as a puzzle-creator.

I'd say the puzzle is quite good, considering you haven't figured it out yet. Of course, Infinite Spaz probably knows the answer.

[Violet CLM]

I don't know what this puzzle is, unless you mean the harddrive's message about the Orb not showing illusions.

Look for pretty rocks.

[Radium]

<b>Piccolo is spamming, so let's make this fun. It will start to rain at post 500.

You find no pretty rocks. There were only two pretty rocks. The rest are ugly and attached to the ground.</b>

[Violet CLM]

Rain doesn't sound good for anyone trapped inside a rabid swimming pool (just how big is it, anyway?).
Anyway, L33tz4n, L33tz4n, L33tz4n.

Break one bottle on ugly rock.
Think of broken bottle as weapon.
Head off into jungle, in the general direction of the volcano (if possible).

[Radium]

<b>You head off that way *points* following a roughly carved trail. The trail leads you to a cable bridge across a ravine. You look from the two cables to the sky and relize it will probably start raining in about twenty posts.

Invintory:
-Bottle
-Broken Bottle
-Standard Minion Robe
-Pandora's Code
-Pandora's Harddrive
-Yellow Tinted Contact Lense x2

Party:
-L33tz4n</b>

[Grath]

Grab onto the cables, unhook them from the side, and jump, swinging down, then climb up the cables. Unhook this side, and keep going.

[Radium]

<b>Due to a serious case of not planning ahead, you swing down and smash into the ravine wall, plummeting fourty feet to the water at the bottom.</b>

[Violet CLM]

Use robe as parachute.

[Radium]

<b>Wasn't this in Alice in Wonderland? Uh, yeah. And according to Disney it works.</b>

[Strato]

Go : Trading post
Trade : Broken bottle : Repair kit
Go : Cable bridge
Use : Repair kit : cable bridge
Go : Volcano basin

[Radium]

<b>You're in a ravine and have no idea which direction to go. And once again are assuming everyone has wings these days.

The water in the ravine flows to your left. That's a good indication that leads to the ocean, and the other way leads to the water source.</b>

[Violet CLM]

Wear Robe.
Fill Bottle with water.
Go left.

[Radium]

<b>You scoop some water up in the bottle. Re-equipping your robe and heading left, you discover that a rabid alligator nest blocks your path. They haven't seemed to notice you yet.</b>

[Xion]

Control: Uberbob
Check: status
Control: L33tz4n
Do: Use robe like diving bell, diving under to pass by the nest as if you looked like a piece of clothing fallen into the river.

[Radium]

<b>Uberbob's current status is: Full health, bored, singing Kumbaya.

Your bell thing would not work noteably well because the water is only about half a meter deep and swimming would be hard for a minion anyway.</b>

[Xion]

Also, you mentioned that Uberbob and Fawriel's arms were tied down...

L33tz4n is in the river...

Where's Araches? (and as unknown mentioned, L33tz4n would not look good drawn that way, however I think Araches would look better drawn that way, the one I meant to say but was confused. XO Do'h!)

[Radium]

Oh, and what's <i>that way?</i>

<b>Araches is also chained down. I've only mentioned the people you tried to control.</b>

[Xion]

And you are not understanding my plan.

Remove: Robe
Do: Stand up
Place: entire robe over head, with head in the middle.
Do: Flatten out to submerge entire body

The robe should be able to retain air, and since L33tz4n is submurged fully, the nest should not be able to see her.

XD PWNED!
