Uberbob was always talking about these "save points." Allegedly, if you managed to "save" just before dying, the moment you breathed your last breath time would move in reverse and send you back to the point where you last saved. Apparently the random dead sorceress had not known about save points.
Not knowing exactly how to save, I poked the snowy mound with my spear. I looked around for some sort of sign that I had saved, but nothing happened. I shrugged and sought out Araches.
"Look," I said, pointing to the skeleton. "She was a sorceress, too."
"Yeah, I guess," replied Araches. "So what?"
"Well shouldn't we take her stuff?" I asked.
"Leave her robes. It would be disrespectful to strip a dead person naked like that."
She had a point. I trudged through the windy terrain and bent down to pick up the Tarot deck and notebook. The Tarot cards looked to be nothing special, but after flipping through the notebook I saw that it contained notes on several of the runes on the gateway and platforms. It looked like I could probably translate the messages and get some cryptic clue about what to do next.
I then looked to the lever. I considered trying to get everyone to help me pull it, then realized that it might be a Bad Thing. Bad Things, of course, were bad, and I was hoping to avoid them if possible.
Not wanting to go through the grueling, ardous task of picking up the items again, I walked back to the save point and poked it again. Once more, nothing happened.
