Dialogue and Mail

Introduction

Letter from Jina

Dear (Player),
You'll never believe what I found! Uh...actually you're pretty smart so I bet you will. Meet me by the ruins when you get a chance.

Jina

Progression

Upon speaking with Jina

Player

Any luck with the key?

Jina

So...uh. Good news, Hekla and I found the key.

Bad news...it didn't unlock the door, some runes just started to glow along the edges. Hekla tells me it's some kind of a riddle.

One that I... don't understand. It was written by ancient Humans, so I thought uh, maybe you might be able to help us figure it out.

Player

I'm not optimistic, but I'll try.

Player

Don't worry, I've got this.

Jina

Thank you SO much. Here it is...

There is a house. One enters it knowing all and leaves knowing nothing.

Player

Kenli's office!

Jina

I don't think ancient humans knew about Kenli, but if they did that would be perfect. I'll do a little thinking and let you know what I come up with.

Player

A school.

Jina

Hmmm... you know that makes an odd sort of sense. Because when you're ignorant you think you know more than when you are wise.

Upon returning to Jina

Jina

Okay, so I told the door the answer and some new runes started to glow.

It says, "The key you hold shows a thirst for knowledge, but the next clue for entering these hallowed doors requires a thirst for something more."

Any idea what that could mean?

Player

No clue.

Jina

Maybe you could think on it and let me know if you come up with something?

Player

Thirst… could it be water?

Jina

Yeah, maybe the clue is hidden somewhere with water!

Good thinking. I'll look in the pond around here and you can look around other water sources.

Upon speaking to Einar for clues

Player

? You know where a place where a thirsty scholar might go [sic]?

Einar

There is not an institution of higher learning here at present.

But in the time of the first humans, this entire valley was devoted to the scholastic arts.

I suppose if one of the pupils found themselves in need of liquid sustenance, they could have satiated their thirst at the old fountain located in the village center.

Upon speaking to Hekla for clues

Information Needed. Dialogue transcript missing, if any.

Hekla

(TBA)

Third riddle at the location from the second riddle.

In figuring out the clue rests in this fountain, you deserve much congratulations. But gaining entrance to the library requires passing but one final test. You must find a stone that represents the sands of time. Slip that gem into the hilt of your key, and you shall have your revelry.

Conclusion

Upon returning to Jina

Player

"Explain your findings"

Jina

So you're saying that the statue in the middle of town was actually a fountain?

And the clue about requiring "a thirst for something more" was the water in the fountain?

Player

Yep.

Jina

Okay, and when you got to the fountain there was another clue...

It said the door we've been trying to open is an old library and I need to put a "stone that represents the sands of time" into the hilt of the key to open the door...

And you deduced the stone must be a pearl since a pearl is made from sand plus pressure over time. Right?

Player

That was my thinking.

Player

I just thought it would look cool.

Jina

I can't tell if you're joking...

Well, I guess there's no harm in trying it out.

Now let me slip the pearl into the key. Here we go. And voila!

Why don't you go open the door since you did all the work?

Notes

Solution to second riddle

After the quest is complete, the door Jina is referencing is the large door found at the Mirror Pond Ruins.
