part 5
OK, return to the room where there is a hole in the floor, where its says you probably wont be able to climb back up. Its time to go Down, so enter 'd'. you will now be in a room with a hole in the ceiling, and the hole is too far up for you to reach.
Here is a map of the lower level

SR Spell room
First thing you should do is go to the spell room and read a plauq ('read plaque'). It says - to rise up in the world, you must LEVITATE. Wonder what that could mean?
Next go to the taco room. there is a taco on a table, and a sombrero. Get sombrero. You cannot get the taco, for some reason, but it is there! what else can we do with a taco?
highlight below
eat taco. It does nothing esle.
Next, go to english king room. There is an S-shaped pipe here. 'get pipe'.
What is this pipe? a tube? someinthg similar to the pipe in the coloured mist room?
highlight below
the clue is the king of england, and a foggy room. So what do we think of when we think of foggy england?
highlight below
we think of holmes. And we have an S-shaped pipe. so what sort of pipe is this?
highlight below
yes, its the sort you smoke. So what should we do with it? Fill it with tobacco? empty it? light it? smoke it?
highlight below
'smoke pipe' or 'light pipe'. You see holmes. nothing else happens.
OK, make your way to the budda room. you see a tiny urn. 'Get urn'.
So, here is a tiny urn. what can you do with an urn?
highlight below
there might be something in it. Why not see ? what should you do?
highlight below
'open urn' or 'empty urn'.
highlight below
some magic poweder spills out. what do you do?
highlight below
get powder
Now, remember that gold plaque you read earlier?
highlight below
Gold plaque which says "powder may scare animals but a moving bone will surely bring the non-living to life"
highlight below
Well, you should have a bone and some magic powder. Now, the plaque said that a moving bone can bring the non-living to life. So, what do we mean by non-living?
highlight below
Well, we have a number of paintings and statues scattered among a number of rooms. so make your way to any room with a painting or statue. So what is meant by 'moving bone?'
highlight below
well, at the very least, try and make the bone a moving bone. So, how do you do that?
highlight below
'move bone'. Or, if you want to imagine it as a wand, 'wave bone'.
If it doesnt work, you will probably get a message 'you cant do that here'. this means that its correct, but you cant do it here. So go to every room with a painting, or maybe one of interest compared to the others.
highlight below.
The caveman painting is interesting because of the bare stone slab in his hand. Why describe it so interestingly? what is this slab? Anyway, see if a moving bone will bring the nonliving to life.
highlight below
'move bone' does indeed inject some vitality into the caveman, who comes off the wall and drops the slab.
highlight below
get slab. Now, the other part of the message was 'powder may scare animals'. well, we have magic powder. are there any animals?
highlight below
yes, there was a bird on a nest, on the upper level. lets go there. if you searched around, youll find there is no way up, so how do you get up?
highlight below
remember the message in the spell room? To rise up in the world, you must LEVITATE.
highlight below
Make your way to the room with the hole in the ceiling. How can we get up there? U for up doesnt work. Damn!
highlight below
wish we could rise up.
highlight below
'Rise' or 'levitate'
highlight below
you are now at the normal upper level, make your way to the bird.
Go south to the GoldPlaque room, then E,N,N
you will see the hawk. so the message was that powder will scare animals. Well, we've got the powder, and there is an animal. so how can we do this? what do we do?
highlight below
Well, we need to scare it. maybe pour it? eat it? sprinkle it? eh?
highlight below
the answer is to 'throw powder'. the hawk flies off.
highlight below
the hawk leaves an egg. get it. so, what u going to do with it?
highlight below
break it, of course!
highlight below
'break egg' reveals a piece of paper. 'get paper'
highlight below
read the paper. it says, 'fresh ash, when sprinkled, is known to make things more legible. hmm. ash! well, we have that s-shaped pipe. maybe thats got ash.
highlight below
Nah, that stupid s-shaped pipe is a total red herring. So where can we get some ash?
highlight below
we can burn something. I hope u still have the matches! haha. But burn what? Lets see, what can we burn?
highlight below
Well, what about the piece of paper where the ashes message was written?
highlight below
'Burn paper' or 'light paper'.
highlight below
You will see ashes. 'get ashes' So what do we do with this?
highlight below
the message was 'fresh ash, when sprinkled, is known to make things more legible'
highlight below
'sprinkle ashes'
highlight below
If 'you cant do this yet' you need to be carrying something.
highlight below
make sure u carrying the slab. 'sprinkle ashes' reveals a message on the slab.
highlight below
read message on slab. 'read slab'
highlight below
'use this for higher purposes only' is the message on the slab, then the slab transforms into a key! first the slab was in a painting. then it held a secret message, then it turned into a key! what a crazy slab.
highlight below
so we have a key. what are we going to do with it?
highlight below
well, on our travels, there were two large stone doors with keyholes. which one should we try?
highlight below
well, the message was 'use for higher purposes only'. there were two doors: one in the lower level through the hole in the floor, and the other near that stream, where we got there by being sucked up through the pipe in the ceiling.
highlight below
'higher purposes only' - to me, lets not go down. so, back to coloured misty room. go back to holeinfloor room (just north of gold plaque), then go N,W. as before, drink water, to get to stream. We need to go back to the yellow button room to appear behind the knobless door (from stream, S to fourpaths, east, then south to yellow room - press button. you sre now in tool storage. go south to where the door is.
highlight below
'unlock door' or 'open door'
highlight below
S for south. thats it.
