1. It's a busy day in Altador. Today we visit either the Farm, the Dock or the Rock Quarry in search of an ailing petpet.

2. Click on the Petpet to pick him up.

 

4. Go to the lobby of the Achives and click on the Alchemy Club poster.

5. Click to purchase the potion. You will not be charged!

6. Go to the Restive Tomb and click on the wooden beam across the door.

Oh no! An angry, mummified Gelatinous Non-Cube is roaming around the tomb!

7. Refresh until the image changes slightly. You may be refreshing for a while! Click on the new portion of the Mummy where the bandages are unwrapping. This is on the lower right corner of the mummy. Try using TAB to find the link.

You grab some loose bandages from the mummified Gelatinous Non-Cube!

9. Go to the Archives, click on the petpet, and use these combinations. Click on the appropriate option, watch the clock, and after a minute, click Check in on the Vaeolus. Then you will know the next option to click. Repeat each step. This process takes time, but it should not take more than 10 - 12 minutes. If it is taking longer try going back out to the Archivist and entering again and starting over.

10. Eventually the Petpet will be healthy and happy again.

The archivist says, "Ah, the Vaeolus seems to be feeling much better now. He can stay here until he's ready to leave, of course. I'm sure he'd like to get back to his owner!"

A Skeith knocks on the door just then. "Why, hello there!" he says. "I'm from the Petpet Protection League, and I heard you were nursing this poor little creature back to health. Very helpful of you! I'd like to present you with this certificate on behalf of the PPL!"

11. Click on the certificate to reveal the next constellation.

"And another clue!" he says. "It seems we draw ever closer to solving this mystery. Quickly, to the observatory!"

12. Go back into the Hall of Heroes and climb the steps to the Observatory. Place your telescope on the stand to search for the Gatherer Constellation. Get your Star Data, copy/paste it in the box on this page .

Note: Due to stellar drift, some star positions may change.

13. Now head back down the stairs and visit the statue of Fauna and check out the ceiling.



14. Stop by and visit the janitor on your way out of the Hall. He is a bit calmer today.

he archivist says, "It was obvious, really -- Fauna, the Gatherer, protector of Petpets. How fortunate that you happened upon that wounded Vaeolus. He finished his recovery while you were gone, and left to find his owner."

He opens a book on his desk to a particular page. "This is an ancient Altadorian spellbook. It doesn't have any history in it that I could find -- no real surprise there -- but it does have some magics which might have been used as... parts of a larger spell, I suppose. Now, this evidence is rather circumstantial, but the kinds of magics in this book are about hiding knowledge and erasing memories." He flips to the inside cover. Some words are hand-written on the front page:

This book donated to the Altadorian Archives by Jerdana

He swallows, looks around nervously, and whispers to you. "You must keep this secret! If Jerdana were to hear of this, well -- she might kill us, or worse! And that's assuming she even remembers what happened -- she might have made sure that the spell affected her own memory, so that she could honestly deny any knowledge of what she did. At least, until the spell was broken, and then..." He shrugs. "Who knows what machinations she's planning?" He coughs. "Assuming that Jerdana even is the one behind this. She might just be a pawn of Altador's, or some other power entirely... We must be vigilant if we are to survive this.

16. Over at the Book of Ages four more pages have filled in:

17. Be sure to check in at the Astronomy Club.

he Astronomy Club members greet you warmly as you enter the room... except the club president, who isn't here.

The Wocky, Korbat, and Buzz approach. "No, we haven't gotten rid of him yet. He left just as we were about to take over. We're gonna wait by the door, and when he comes back in, that's when we'll make our move! Get ready!" They hide by the door, waiting for the club president to return... although it could be a few days.

18. And be sure to pick up your NeoLodge gift on the way out the door.
