Finally, on the word subject, can anyone tell me what order the letters were in when they were presented to us? - Athos The chairs are still placed around the table in the same fashion as they were discovered (see diagram). Chair 1: Quail/Bird Chair 2: Feather Chair 3: no symbol Chair 4: Cup Chair 5: Lion Chair 6: no symbol Lets take Pharoah's clothes off... no I'm not a pervert, there was just what seemed to be some unusual care in describing his clothes. Did Egyptians wear kilts? - Athos Athos undreses the statue. Nothing peculiar in regard to the clothing/covered parts of the statue. Recommend one of the Egyptian historians answer the question in regard to the kilt. In that case, we would need to find a book about KALI in the library to find another clue !!!! Afterall, Mister Crowley was a great art collector, there might be some hindu art somewhere !!! (we already found US art, Egyptian art and viking art) - XWingYoda After exhausting effort to find a book relating to Kali or Hindu subject matters, you find nothing in the library. In addition, may I see the book of Poems by Edward Arlington Robinson again? You state the titles of the poems--what pages are they on? Each poem and analysis, please. - Darkie Pete states, "I don't believe the analysis of Robinson's poetry is important". But in looking at the index, the stories begin on the following pages: On The Night Of A Friend's Wedding - 35 Miniver Cheevy - 61 Llewellyn and the Tree - 85 Richard Cory - 124 Bewick Fenzer - 163 The Mill - 174 Mr. Flood's Party - 183 The poems are mostly 1-2 pages long. Also--when we examined the chairs in the first place, how much were the moved? Completely? Might we go back and see what order the marked chairs sit it, in regards to their markings? - Darkie see response to first question

More Analysis Athos examines the Seal of Oregon again. Attempting to scrape off the paint of the eagle, the ships, and the island reveals nothing. Pete states, "although the word 'KALI' does add up to 33, I think it's purely a coincidence. Some Egyptian symbols represent more than one English word or sound since the Egyptian alphabet did not contain as many letters as the English alphabet - just like the symbol for K could also mean a C. I don't believe the word is Kali". Darkie examines the statue of the pharaoh once more. It appears to be made of stone or other hard substance covered/polished with a dull glaize paint/finish of some kind. The statue wears an ornate cloth headdress with blue and white stripes and a greenish cloth kilt. The fabrics look rather aged. The statue does not have any markings/heiroglyphics. Xwingyoda examines the Edward Arlington Robinson book once more. It contains the following poems and literary analysis of the following: On The Night Of A Friend's Wedding, Miniver Cheevy, Llewellyn and the Tree, Richard Cory, Bewick Fenzer, The Mill, and Mr. Flood's Party. The book is approximatey 200 pages long.

Examining the oil paints, they include the colors blue, red, mustard/yellow, and brown. Appears that the blue and mustard have been opened. The two brushes are clean and look fairly new. The red button on the safe appears to be some sort of device to push in conjunction with the combination as no other button/switch is visible. Pete states, "XWingYoda seems to be applying some very good analytic skills. I think that the initials 'RC' on the blackboard is a significant clue as well as the symbols. Crowley's message included: find the symbols I have left them for you If I die add the letters the word is easy but I can not spell it Crowley must have been trying to encrypt his message by writing it in Latin. I think if we figure out "the word", it would unlock another clue. Perhaps the symbols were in some order around the table to help us figure out the word".

Appears to be old wood (perhaps from a crate). A closer inspection of all the items reveals nothing.

I'm in!

The safe is rather heavy as it appears to be fire proof. You can always come back to it. It is moveable, however.

Unlocking the China Cabinet You go back to the dining room to attempt to unlock the drawer(s) in the china cabinet. You put the brass key in one of the locks; and this time, it at least fits the lock. Click... It works. You begin unlocking and opening each of the six drawers. Drawers 1-4 are farely small and 5 & 6 much larger. Drawer 1: some rather fancy silverware Drawer 2: some oil paints and brushes Drawer 3: a rope tied in a noose Drawer 4: a small brass telescope Drawer 5: several pieces of old wood Drawer 6: a small safe/valuable box with a three-digit combination lock. On the box is a small note that says, "five attempts to open this lock will result in rendering the lock useless and seal the contents for good". The combination has the numbers now set to 3 0 0. A small red button appears under the lock.

The Brass Key You first try to use the key to unlock the bedroom. It does not fit the lock. You then decide to make your way back down to the subterranean passage to try to unlock the gate. Unfortunatley, it does not work. >:(

The mural is painted on the smooth brick wall. As you scratch away the paint, you discover that underneath this section of wall is not brick, but wood. You begin scraping it to discover a small 2"x2" hollowed-out section of brick; and inside, a tarnished brass key.

Yes, it is a painting, but no signature.

Pete adds, "I'm quite impressed with your keen detective skills. Maybe we're getting somewhere now".

You rush out of the library to look at the seal in the upper hall once again. At the bottom center of the shield, there is no star or mark on the mural.

Poetry by Edward Arlington Robinson The Edward Arlington Robinson book is a very worn book of short poems. Appears that this book was read often. In looking at the index, the poems include: On The Night Of A Friend's Wedding, Miniver Cheevy, Llewellyn and the Tree, Richard Cory, Bewick Fenzer, The Mill, Mr. Flood's Party

"Interesting observation Mister Lego Builder", Pete states, "it appears that this seal only has 32 stars".

Revisiting the Seal Pete states, "I do not believe the symbols represent the word KALI. Maybe we should try another word". The seal on the wall:

The Edgar Allen Poe book does not contain Poe's poetry, but rather his short stories. The poem Darkie mentioned is not in the book. The locked door on the 2nd floor hall leads to a bedroom.

I like the colors of the ship and the figs are pretty nice: Battle Droid IG-88, Ninja Dengar, Buffalo Soldier Bespin Guard, and Old Black Masked Boba. All sarcasm aside, nice attempt from Lego to introduce these new figs. I like the set. Thanks for sharing Chewie. PS. I always notice your quote. Nena was a great group. I particularly like Ich Bleib Im Bet and Leuchtterm - great 80s songs.

Book by Edgar Allen Poe Pete examines the Edgar Allen Poe Book and states, "It appears that this book does not contain Poe's short poems. The Raven is not here either and that is one of my favorites. You must have recalled this one from memory. This book contains most of Poe's short stories (pictured). You do, however, definately have keen detective skills and a mind for solving mysteries. I would suggest that we look at the worn book, perhaps. Poems by Edward Arlington Robinson; seems out of place among these mystery and horror stories". The others begin trying on the scarab ring. It fits most of you.

Thanks for sharing the images Sam. The wagon doesn't look too bad at all. Appears that these may be very much like existing trains, just not as detailed. I was expecting something far more <insert that tiresome argument>. Looks like the track is identical but without the metal rails. Maybe this new line isn't too bad after all.

Yes, but you might try to see if available in Europe.

If you are interested, try building a few CLUES vignettes. I've asked Bloody Jay to send a picture of the characters, but he hasn't done so. You're really good at these. There's some neat ones on Brickshelf if you search for CLUE.

Looks like a few special buckets have been released. See other post. Anniversary Sets

I found some anniversary sets on Lego SAH today. They include: 4496, 1,000 piece anniversary tub with some gold bricks 4105, 500 piece anniversary bucket with some gold bricks 5352, 139 piece Duplo tub with some gold bricks I was waiting for some special anniverary sets and did not find other info to this regard on Eurobricks. If so, disregard this news. Also pictured on the site is the sandcrawler mentioning the "gold" C-3PO (nothing special here), as well as Bionicle and KK. Lego SAH 50th Link

The yellow castle was not re-released. If I remember correctly, at the time, a number of sets were being voted for and something won over the castle. Maybe black falcon's fortress or Main Street. - don't remember which.

You're missing the card cheat'n western slickster with green shirt and black top hat. And I disagree with you in regard to Reno being better than Vegas, unless you prefer tighter games. Tahoe is nice though.
