Re: THE RUINS OF ALPH

[timelymaid]

11-28-12
first visit!! very excited
i was going to visit with roxy and jake and jane in december but i couldnt quite wait
ill try to write down anything pertinent as i go
with sketches of course

it looks like the pokebeasts here are unown
they remind me of the human alphabet

shapes of them are carved into the walls here
i believe they are indeed words
how strange that there are creatures who look like their alphabet
or i wonder if in this world the alphabet was modeled off of these creatures?
food for the thought i suppose
im taking all the writing down for further research
there are also statues of pokebeasts i do not recognize
interesting

four sliding puzzles down in the first room
do these reset themselves for every explorer?
i will see next time i come i suppose
i wonder why they do or how
they look simple enough at least

ow
did not expect that trap door
really should have though :(

the trap door seems to have disappeared
thats typical really

only one word on the floor although there are many on the walls

our words shall remain here for the ages
on the wall
and on the floor?
escape
cheerful o_o

found a window up by the ceiling in the corner
sent indy to see what was there
although walls dont bother him anyway
door opened as soon as he went through

found two berries and two different strange powders
will look into these later in better lighting and circumstances

also found a ralts
or rather indy did as he went through the window
she was startled badly and we were forced to subdue her
so i suppose i have a new teammate
i named her quartz after my land
i gave her two potions from my pack and she seems to be okay if sulky

back in the puzzle room

this time i expected the trap door!
landed on my feet
take that ruins!!
aradia megido is wise to your triptraping ways
youll have to do better than that to get the better of me!
im a regular troll indiana jones again
without my whip
i miss my whip
okay now im just being silly
its a good thing these notes are private
i dont think anyone needs to know i said any of that ever
anyway more runes to decipher!

thus we shall erect a pokemon statue outside
on the walls
and on the floor?
light

last time indy escaped
and there was a door
so logically it follows that this time?

i was correct
my flashlight upon the message opened the hidden door
found another berry some powder a strange plant root and a pretty stone
either people drop things a lot or this is a game mechanic
or i suppose pokemon drop things a lot?

puzzle three obviously had a trap door
im not sure why anyone would be surprised
oh but quartz was very helpful
she actually helped me float the last few inches
were getting really good at this falling through floors thing
were champions at falling through floors

in retrospect im not sure thats a great thing to be a champion of
i mean i guess its better than not being a champion of falling through floors
that would probably be worse
why am i taking notes on this

they possess great insight and refuse the outside world
on the walls again
i wonder if this refers to the pokemon they built statues to or their words?
i wonder too who they were
the people who wrote these things
and on the floor is again a single word
water

poured some water from my canteen onto the word
and a door opened!
then i drank some myself and gave some to indy and quartz
theyre good adventuring companions

in this passage i found a strange teardrop shaped gem and more dust
quartz found a star shaped piece of mineral and indy found a berry
the gem is really pretty
its even on a chain
for now i will wear it i think

fourth puzzle and to the surprise of no one the floor gave out
and then closed up again
i really do wonder about how that works
i mean architecturally speaking
these people were very advanced in their building techniques!
for a ruin its in good shape you know?

two sentences on the wall this time
we humans must learn to walk in harmony with them
we depart for their sakes
so the previous room was referring to pokemon
i think if nothing else harmony has been achieved in their current day and age
although i wonder where they departed from
this region?
another?
the ruins themselves?
and why depart or was that necessary to learning harmony?
i think these are questions that may never have answers
which is slightly sad

and on the floor?
friend

as soon as i read that word with indy and quartz the door opened
:)
i think thats a good thing

we found a weird orb some sort of root thing another berry and a piece of charcoal
they all went into my pack like all the rest

i should probably head back now
but i think ill come back as long as were here
theres always more to see and find
