Revisiting the five steps to BT

[Kaldire]

To clear up some confusion, the five steps to BT has to be something that's doable by all three characters... fact

Think of the things that each of the three characters can't do or does in a different way... these things are not one of the five steps.

For instance: the sorcerer floats over the red bush, the rogue burns the bush, the brigand uses sword on the bush, therefore the bush is NOT one of the steps (number 4).

The reference to fire and white lightning (moonshine), all three characters can roast the moonshiner, so this is likely, or possibly, the step concerning fire.

In closing, the clues thus far given are cryptic. Trying to get concrete answers from cryptic clues isn't likely possible. You must derive cryptic answers to cryptic clues.

I know the bush isnt the fire part, im just sad that all character paths cant light it on fire! is all,  brig should use the same alcohol etc,  mage should cast flame,  not float  I wanna watch fire and roast a marshmallow on it

5.  You're on track.  You have the necessary means necessary means to complete the task, and double X doesn't mark a spot - you do.  Double X, well, you'll have to wait to find out what that means.

You're on the right track with your early work, but step 5 and beyond... well... the bookcase comes here, and back to Dodson.  You'll have to go Jonestown on this one.... and then solve what's beyond.

The last step is the final step - everyone's final resting place, of at least somewhere inside it.  XX doesn't mark the spot, but you do.

oh roger now I know how i got the pm in my email haha
ive done that before garr

yea urmm
well the quote  dodgson  we have dodgson here, was for sure a JP reference, not LC

but if you read my really long posts in the other bt thread I do talk and post quotes from the old  nirvana state of mind look in the mirror see that all things never die etc just go to this plane of existance where bt must be

idk
i over think things so I took a break being pensive without thinking if that makes sense, like when you think of your best ideas on the toilet because you just kinda let go

if it is lewis the only thing that springs to mind is tea and mad hatter, not sure on the mirror or what not
but ill dig back into the game when my family life settles a bit

hit me up garr you got my email and pm
we can dooo it

if jonestown is the key,  mass suicide? poison?  drinking swamp water? idk
truly

[Blackthorne]

Heh, yeah, this is a search for external clues, no doubt....

Those who know, will... type the correct answer.

The correct answer? Go ask alice when she's ten feet tall.

whats even more odd about this is my signature

"larger than life and twice as natural" is a quote from through the looking glass when she gets bigger!

larger than life and twice as real" but still

odd how awesome is that? lol

ask alice when she is 10 feet tall... grrr
ty bt for another hint

appreciated
will get back on the qfi bt hunt  boat asap

[Kaldire]

wait a minute

thats a jefferson airplane quote!
i love that song

go ask alice!!! aka white rabbit

please dont tell me its something we type in backwards!
like the white knight

thats an lsd song there lol

oh i feel im soo close, ahh garrr ! jefferson airplane   red team go go go

drink me?

[Kaldire]

try DRINK ME
it goes with keep hydrated
if not there are a few other things i have to try
hit me up
my save isnt near the end yet, grr
just started back over

to make SURE i didnt skip annnything in terms of even speaking muchless cutscenes

[Longsunrise]

when does Alice become 10 feet tall?  when she nibbles on the cake that says EAT ME...

I was also thinking of the XX =20 but Bt's hint points back to the graveyard(s)...I'm wondering if XX is an allusion to killing someone, since a cartoonist would draw X's for eyes on someone who is dead....   X_X

[Kaldire]

lol yea i mentioned the eyes to garr in a mail,
saying it looked like dead eyes

lol but no, when alice is small she eats the cake,
when she is tall,  she finds the drink me bottle to get smaller again,
but much is said in the book in terms of lines vs just the song
but that was a ref to the song for SURE no doubt in my widdle mind

so when alice is tall , drink me,  small  eat me

drink me would be the proper choice also given stay hydrated is a clue somehow

missing it would be a grave mistake, was a clue, so yea grave, but bt did say the book comes into play here

maybe some tie with that song and the graves,  again in space quest 2 IA one had to dangle from a vine to get a lsl flashback
hmm

[Blackthorne]

Kal is barking up the right tree.

XX doesn't have to do with death, I can say that.


Bt

[Kaldire]

you far enough to try drink me?

im sure its not that simple,
did you see how bts hint was almost an exact quote from the great white rabbit song?
yeaaa

[Blackthorne]

Steps 1-3 must be completed before the book.


Bt

[Blackthorne]

all caps or all lowercase, whatever, doesn't matter.  But the next step will be revealed if you've completed the first steps properly before entering the text in the box.

Kal is on the right track with the phrase.

I walk away for a few days and you all are on the doorstep.  Nice work by all.  Great clues as always Bt.
