The Indigo room

[Tom]

As above but using the Buddhist wheel to act as a second interlocking cog with the first cog withstand the Protestant cross through the wheel as a lever to turn when the rope is pulled.

[Jubal]

Entirely correct, well done

Reiterating my original notes were:
- Step 1 unlock cog w/catholic key 1
- Step 2 slot Buddhist Wheel on
- Step 3 fit cross into wheel
- Step 4 using ropes and giant crescent add weight to wheel, allowing cog to turn
- Step 5 use key 2 to open the door!

...right, now I have to come up with another puzzle

[Tom]

Hell yeah

Got to love basic physics and a love of mechanics

[comrade_general]

It was the thermal pods that did it.

[Tom]

Those definitely gave me a clue 

[Jubal]

Huzzah

I'll try and write a new puzzle tomorrow evening

[Tom]

Nice, Jubal could you update the first post as well please?

[Jubal]

OP update done


THE POET'S ROOM (2 points)

After a couple of tries, you fit the key in and finally leave the Devotion Room.

The new room is mostly oak-panelled, and has what appears to be a case full of books along one wall, with doors on the two walls adjoining it (including the door you came through. The other wall, however, is made of a shiny grey metal.

You see four racks on the wall. Each has a linear scanner behind it. On the racks lie a set of tiles, each with a word on. They form the following cryptic-message:

see this poem And If you shall be free, from The room
shall I be for ever more written thus
must be as would to unlock the door.

There are currently no tiles on the bottom rack.

What do you wish to do?

[Tom]

I'm assuming you're going to have to reshuffle the tiles to make the poem about leaving the room?

[Jubal]

That is a thing you could try doing.

[Tom]

Do I actually have to try and write out the poem or just say 'I rearrange the tiles in to another poem'.

[Jubal]

I think if you just say "I rearrange the tiles" I have to assume I randomise the word order, so the probability of you getting anywhere that way is to say the least somewhat small. 

[Tom]

Okay, I'll have a think about it tomorrow, coding to do

[Jubal]

Tomorrow, as they say, never comes. 

[Tom]

Very true, I'm not good at poems, GCSE English saw to that
