Not many of these books have two instant death pages so close to the beginning (Following Drear is also instant death).

Use prophecy.

Sounds like it wants clockwise, so let's go left.

Closing your eyes, you send the power of your thought into the future in search of a clue that will help you find the door. The image that forms in your mind is identical to that of the plate bearing the inscription:

�From south of here, to west, and north,
Then east and south once more,
A circle�s motion rings the charm
That finds the Vanishing Door.�
Your Power of Prophecy is usually of more use than this, your visions of the future far clearer. You conclude that the door is masked by magic and that the inscription is the only clue that can help you find it.

Frustrated, you read the inscription again. You have expended 1 WILLPOWER point; adjust your Action Chart accordingly.

Willpower: 35.

Should we now go right, go left, climb the tower, or examine the wall below the inscription?

why didn't prophecy just tell us to go clockwise instead of being a pretentious rear end?

anyway, clockwise starts with going left so...

Because it's not a very hard puzzle, and you shouldn't need help to solve it. :v:

Prophecy's been plenty helpful in the past when the clues were more subtle or even nonexistent.

Examine the wall. I think the answer is right in front of us, we just don�t realize it.

Soon you are back where you started, having completed a circuit of the Crystal Tower. To your immense surprise, however, there is now a door beneath the metal plate. Tanith has an incredulous look upon her face. �There is strange sorcery at work here,� she comments.

The iron-shod door is tall and uninviting. You try the handle but the door is locked. You notice a keyhole and five Keys hanging on five hooks by the door. Each Key has been shaped into the likeness of a beast.

Shall we try the Serpent Key, Eagle Key, Wolf Key, Spider Key or Dragon Key, or read the inscription above the door, hit the door with our staff, or use Prophecy?

Read the inscription because it's presumably the hint for this puzzle.

Read the inscription, because Prophecy is probably just going to tell us to not be a moron and read it.

Use Prophecy so we can see a vision of ourselves in the future reading the inscription.

The Wolf key has to be a reference to Lone Wolf. Try the Wolf key.

moosecow333: Mar 15, 2007; Super-Duper Supermen!

I don�t know why we wouldn�t just automatically read the inscription but I guess we did just jump into a completely random hole in another plane of existence so logic isn�t super high right now.

You study the inscription again, only to find that the words have changed once more. Tanith reads the inscription aloud:

�Ware the hunters, beasts of prey,
Five in number, feared by name:
The widow woman, patient weaver;
The tireless runner, shadow-seeker;
Bird of fire, the treasure lover;
Arrow-swift, his keen-eyed brother;
But only he who walks without feet
May pass this door of mystery.�

Shall we try the Serpent Key, Eagle Key, Wolf Key, Spider Key or Dragon Key, or hit the door with our staff, or use Prophecy?

That's a neat poem, with a lot of stuff that's not really relevant to the puzzle except as misdirection. Take the Serpent key.

You take the Key from the hook and place it in the lock. You have guessed correctly: the Key fits. You unlock the door, push it open, and take a deep breath before entering the Crystal Tower. Suddenly the Serpent Key vanishes into thin air!

If you wish to keep any of the remaining Keys, mark them as Special Items on your Action Chart. If you decide to carry them, they must be kept in your Backpack unless you give them to Tanith to carry, in which case note this on your Action Chart.�

With Tanith still close by your side you enter a large, square room. The walls are made of the same black crystal as the outer wall of the tower. A large, ornate stairway ascends from the room and the only other visible exit is a door to your left. There are many paintings on the walls. The flagstones on the floor of the gloomy hall bear the carvings of swords. The one you are now standing on bears an inscription.

Do we keep any keys (Eagle, Wolf, Spider or Dragon)? If so, do we put them in our backpack or give them to Tanith?
Shall we now look at the paintings, examine the floor, climb the stairs, or try the door?

� All four keys together take up a single Backpack space so we can carry them without dropping anything if we want to. If we let Tanith carry them then we will only have access to them as long as Tanith is with us, but can move them to our backpack at any time.
