"And hello again to you as well, Judith."

Hi, I’m not really sure what to look for, I should probably read my guide first.

[groza529]

Also examine potions shelf

[ambic]

Almost seems like a puzzle

[ambic]

Missed the book and scroll action, 1 second

[ambic]

The Scroll is some old instructions to a sorcerors apprentice



This is a non-compulsory puzzle. Have a go, and if you solve it, there may be a small payoff for it.

[ambic]

The book appears to be about how to tell what your blood type is.

Pat says there was a guy here before, but he walked out to the eatery. Must have gotten bored.

[groza529]

Rearrange the bottles as specified in my character thread (momentarily)

[groza529]

Consult the PC

[ambic]

Quentin drinks the liquid from the green square bottle on Shelf 3, and when he replaces it, he sees a pressure switch in the shelf activate. The shelf drops down to expose a secret area.

[ambic]

There is a sword here, and a blunderbuss with no bullets. There are also some illegal plants being grown here. Pat looks away sheepishly.

[groza529]

Pick up the sword and examine it

[ambic]

Pat asks you not to touch his PC. That's his POS system computer.

You collect the sword. See private thread for details

[groza529]

"Pat, you really saved my bacon back there with the sarcophagus so I won't tell anyone about what I found here."

"Judith, I think you'll find roof access through the French doors, but I really hope you know what to do when you get there."

[ambic]

Pat mentions that he found this sword stuck in a rock years ago, and he just walked off with it. He planned to sell it, but somehow never did. He is glad it has a new owner now, but dont go sticking in rocks anywhere, and if you DO, dont pull it back out. He had to fend of people calling him king of England for years. He clearly wasnt even from that country.

[groza529]

"One last question before I go though, Pat... What's up with the red and blue crystals? Like many things around here, they seem to be continually popping up."

[ambic]

Pat says, I have no idea, but Benson and I looked at one under the telescope before. The liquids seems to be filled with some kind of very tiny robot.
