Ooh, post 5000. Yay.

[Lem_Gambino]

Go inside the wagony that is the alchemist's wagon to see if there is any changes.

My page > UR's post 5000. XD

[Violet CLM]

Pages are commonplace. That was one of the only Post 5000s in existance. XD

[Risp_old]

Yeah. The Pre-win 3.1 days has 126 pages, but only 1 post 5000. That post 5000 is a collectors item!

[Lem_Gambino]

Yeah, but my page has post 5001 on it, and since 5001 is greater than 5000, it's safe to say I roxorz your boxorz. XP

[Risp_old]

Yes, but 5000 is a nice, round number, while 5001 is an ugly number.

[Lem_Gambino]

Yeah, but this is MY page and I can cry if I want to! XP Mweehehe...

[Ekardnamal]

STOP ARGUING ABOUT POST 5000/PAGE 126!!!!! Anyway, I was trying to go back to the village...

"Complete?" That doesn't compute...

[Violet CLM]

I have been called a child by Xion. My life is over.


He just means that he wants the full status of everyone in the party, including (but not limited to) items, spells, sicknesses, mental voices and Uberbob relation points. I assume.

[Ekardnamal]

I agree with Xion. *kicks all bad children in shins* Heehee... :P

[Risp_old]

Admit it. You two just like being randomly violent.

[Ekardnamal]

Admit it. You two just like being randomly violent.

<b>Yes.</b>

What's with the word 'enchantresphere'? It is a round mage, or something?

[Radium]

<b>You summon a bar of soap and leave it on the chair, then leaving the wagon. You stare at it a while before you get bored and start chewing on your own arm.

<b>The real one. Everyone looks at you like you might be a tad insane.

Stop chewing arm.
Hide behind a bush and setup camp, having each party member take turns on watch duty every few hours so the others can get some well-deserved sleep.

[Ekardnamal]

Why not just sleep in the wagon?

[Lem_Gambino]

Because if the person that's taking all of the items from the wagon is a homicidal maniac, we could be in trouble.

[Ekardnamal]

Oh. Then save the game and sleep in the wagon, then.

[Lem_Gambino]

*facefall*

Radium and I were speaking last night, and he dropped a few hints that I just needed to put together. However, I am not completely sure about these theories.


Since I don't have my notes with me, I cannot answer this puzzle at this time. :(

[Xion]

Back home! And with my Whiteboard as well. n.n

Okay, don't lose me in this explenation.

Since I was speaking with Radium last night, he dropped a few subtle hints that all fell together.

(Radium): Four pillars.
(Radium): Ellipse around a sphere.

basics of the puzzle.

(Radium): The number four relates to many things. Only one of those things has any relation to a sphere or ellipse.

Hint number one. This one had me had for a loop, untill this conversation took place.

Ezel Berbier: ...the golden ratio?
Ezel Berbier: a/b=a+b/a
(Radium): That has an ellipse in it?
(Radium): Cool, I never knew.
Ezel Berbier: It can be applied to an elipse
(Radium): I LERND MAF

It hit me with that last line. If he made a joke about math, it couldn't have been math related at all!

(Radium): I'll give you four yes or no questions regarding the puzzle.

Ezel Berbier: ...Well, to be honest, the only thing that it can be applied to is the four worlds, and the sphere can be the star the planet is revolving around and the elipse can be the planet's path revolving around the star.
Ezel Berbier: Is the above theory correct?
(Radium): Not really, if you want to get picky.

One question down.

Ezel Berbier: Are the four pillars in any way related to the four worlds we have encountered? (supermegatropolis, spinach custard, antifoo island, etc. etc.)
(Radium): No.

Another down, and perhaps this has been answered in the past too. I just wanted it straight from the horse's mouth.

Ezel Berbier: ...Is Pi involved?
(Radium): In reeeeeeeeeeaaaaalllly nitpicky scientific theory, yes. But for all we're concerned, not whatsoever and you're thinking way too hard.

Bingo. I just hit it there. This is concerning SCIENCE, not MATH. Therefore, I have created two conclusions.


The monolith represents a Hydrogen Atom or a Berillium atom. In my LJ I made a comment about the "Four winds" referring to Neutrons, Protons, Electrons, and Photons. Four pillars representing the four parts of the atom? The only flaw here is that Hydrogen has only two parts: A single Electron zipping around a Proton...no Neutrons, and Photons are only created when the Electron gets "excited" and gives off light.

(Radium): Once you figure the right idea out, it'll be fairly hard to prove correct, but you'll probably find it obvious.

Yes, I may have it here, or I'm thinking waaaaaaaaayyyyyy too much.

[Ekardnamal]

Sooo, Xion... What should we do?

[Radium]

Yes, I may have it here, or I'm thinking waaaaaaaaayyyyyy too much. <b>The second one. I love how you get really close and then abstractly shoot away. Since you guys like to take the most difficult ways to figure things out, I'll say this: There is no math involved and a VERY tiny bit of a type of science.

[Ekardnamal]

Radium, I'm not trying to get hints here, but what would you rate this puzzle's difficulty level (for us) on a scale of 1-10?

[Radium]

<b>Four.

[Ekardnamal]

Oh. Are you surprised we haven't gotten it already?

[Radium]

<b>Yes. Asking around more earlier would've helped, but I think at this point you can just figure it out yourselves.

[Ekardnamal]

Examine: Vial

[Radium]

<b>The vial of middenite is about two inches long and a centimeter in diameter (oooh, I mix metric and english!). Interestingly, while the vial is transparent, it appears to have no back when you look through it.

[Ekardnamal]

Action: Save game
Action: Open Vial

[Radium]

<b>You open the vial and stare at the contents. From the top, it appears to have no bottom. Over the next ten minutes, it slowly evaporates away unnaturally fast. I'll load the game for you. Game loaded.

[Ekardnamal]

Action: Look at vial from all angles

[Xion]

This puzzle has no answer.

Glitch: Puzzle

[Radium]

<b>From all angles, the vial appears to have no back.

[Risp_old]

Save.
Throw the vial at the sphere and see what happens.

[Xion]

Look: Pillars
==Placement of pillars in relevance to the sphere

mypage

[Radium]

<b>You throw the vial at the sphere. It shatters, showing a sort of skewed image of the adjacent areas of the sphere in the area where the liquid inside splattered. It slowly fades away. Loaded.

The pillars are to the north, south, east, and west of the sphere.

[Xion]

I hope this is right...

[Xion]

...an eyeball?

<img src=http://img36.photobucket.com/albums/v109/Xion810/spherecolor.jpg>

Looks like an eye to me.

[Risp_old]

See if it blinks.

[Radium]

<b>It doesn't appear to be blinking.

Hint: Xion aaaaallllllmoooost had it once. He was a word off. No more hints.

[Xion]

I have no clue, to be honest.

I SURRENDER! I SURRENDER TO THE ALMIGHTY UNFOORUMAN!

[Xion]

...!

hmm...I am such a fool for this. It just hit me.

It's some kind of representation of an acid, CH₄ maybe?

[Ekardnamal]

The monolith represents a Hydrogen Atom or a Berillium atom. In my LJ I made a comment about the "Four winds" referring to Neutrons, Protons, Electrons, and Photons. Four pillars representing the four parts of the atom? The only flaw here is that Hydrogen has only two parts: A single Electron zipping around a Proton...no Neutrons, and Photons are only created when the Electron gets "excited" and gives off light.

This theory, Radium?
