Ok, we have the wires. We could fix the door back in the gardens if we just had a fuse.

...

Could we use the little blue thing as a fuse? (Yes I'm desperated to find a use for that, so what).

Oh, and take all the shit in the jar, don't just leave it there so any vandal can come in and steal it.

>>70509
Oh, take the stuff out of the jar first.

You go to the jar and take your strange blue ring, electrician's manual, circlet, and a vial of red fluid.

Wait you didn't put the vial in there, did you?...

As you turn around, you do take note of three dials on the north wall.

You check those dials after flipping through the manual again and learning nothing just like the last time you looked at it.

Open Z hatch.

Only not, let's turn all three on the =w= face and see if it does anything to the purpley thing in the corner.

>>70540
hrm, those look like---

Put the first one on the spikey one (opposite the arrow currently), the second on the double cross thing, the third on the oval(eye?) with an X

>>70540
I think we need to find the third (second? We're missing II) scent message.

The second dial symbols mirror the third dial symbols with only the crossy lines and the spiral switched.

Also those are symbols of dieties. The Xeye is Exuno, the cross is Muchisujo or whatever the fuck his name is.

hrm, try saying his name out loud.

If that doesn't work I have to guess we will need to find his ghost and get him back here.

I'm betting that the rest of the ritual is in the necromancy book. We've got to get that thing translated, or learn its language.

Maybe we have to go somewhere else first.

You examine the shrine. No, there doesn't seem to be a sarcophagus hidden in this nearly solid ceramic shrine.

>>70687
Doesn't that match up to a combination on the three dials, or did we already do that one?

I guess it's worth a shot. Set the dials to that combination. Cross, sun, cross.

You're getting good at that.

Passing through every single combination would only take 2-4 minutes, but seems a bit doubtful to do much.

>>70697
Wait, don't we need his blood for this to work according to the message? Can you take that bloody message off the jar or is it molded into it? If so, put it in with the rest of the ingredients.

>>70702
That's in the vial.

How about instead of having it inside the vial, open it and pour it in the jar.

Ah, or should we put the circlet on, wear the medallion, and... ew, drink the blood?

You put the medallion and circlet back into the jar and pour the blood over the items. You feel the air distort and take a few steps back as the wraith of what you assume is Duke Hoppite the Third forms in front of you.

>>70719
"Sup dawg."

You bow down in respect, although you are quite suspect that he deserves it. he settles his translucent form on the shrine and looks around.

"Oh good, it seems someone has went through the trouble of bringing me back? Someone who of course reeks of peasant, and unimportant. I do hope you're not a criminal, as I'd have to kill you anyway--by chance do you know where Epsilon is? He escaped King Bubba's sentence, and murdered me for doing my job. Nearly bit me in two."

He has quite a soft, feminine voice about him in addition to a very snotty tone. He wasn't joking about the aforementioned wound, there is a massive bite mark across his torso, which seems stitched together some even now.

>>70729
This could get dangerous. Tell him you don't know where Epsilon is, or even who he is. Also, almost everyone on the island is dead, killed by some kind of black plague.

"I've never met Epsilon, or heard of him. I'm sorry, I've been wandering around all night. Some black plague wiped everyone out."

Hoppite scoffs and throws a key at you. "Very well, peasant. Here is your reward for helping me come back from death. I pray you hurry. I do not wish to see you again unless you bring me Epsilon, or at least information on the murderous fiend."

>>70741
"If I see or hear about this Epsilon, I will bring word to you, mighty one."

Hey, if this guy can come back from death, no reason to not get on his nice side.

>>70741
Ask him what was Epsilon's crime was. That may help us find information about him.

>>70744
Scratch that, there was a wanted poster in the ruined police station. He's a murderer. Instead, ask what he looks like, and if there's anything else he can tell us about Epsilon.

"If I am to find him, what does he look like?" You ask.

"You just can't take your reward and go away? He is a Shadow. He is known for his bite. His appearance otherwise is hard to really state." Duke Hoppite the Third seems to be getting annoyed at your continued presence pestering him.

>>71197
Interesting, we did see a giant black thing in the chasm under the bridge that tried to bite us. That could be Epsilon, I suppose. May as well tell him.

Ok, avoid walk over the area inmediatly in front of the chest. Examine the holes in the ceiling and that thing in the corner.

After that, try to open the chest, but do it from the side, and using the cane for that purpose.

Try not to test this by shoving the cane in a hole, as we don't know what that will do, if anything.

Let's leave this one for now shall we?

Well yeah, but I'm pretty sure we're going to need whatever is inside that chest, and that we have clues enough to solve the puzzle.

Hmmm...

According to >>71544 , I think the Lightning is the trap. Heart is too obvious, so my vote would be Cloud.

>>71557

No, wait. II = Skull might mean that two of the holes are traps. And there are clouds and lightnings in the precognition...
