Day 10

TNT has driven us crazy for the whole weekend but we've FINALLY figured it out, yeah - finally! Lol, anyway let's start.

Head over to each of the following Altador shops one by one:

• Exquisite Ambrosia
• Legendary Petpets
• Illustrious Armoury
• Magical Marvels

While visiting each shop, check the inflation rate. Then make sure you have the exact amount of Neopoints on hand, so it matches the inflation rate (for example, if the inflation were 3.46%, then have 346 Neopoints). Go back to the shop and refresh. If there is either a coin, purse, or scale of some sort for the exact price of your inflation rate, click it to get your next constellation. If there is no such item, then try the next shop.

There appears to be a strange pattern of dots on the side of this chocolate coin...

1. The Inflation
2. Neopoints you should have at hand.
3. The item you should click.

Go to the lenny archivist who like usual has a bit to say:

The archivist says, "Ah, an item relating to money, with another clue on it... how fascinating. What are the odds of finding such an item, I wonder? Well, off to the observatory with you."

Return to your Telescope to plot your next constellation. To get your coordinates, Click here. If you want to find the coordinated immediatly Plug them in here. Your finished constellations should look like this Note: We are looking for Gordos - the Collector:

Once you do that return to the Hall of Heroes and look at the ceiling of the Gordos, the Collector statue to see the ceiling light up once again!

Janitor: The janitor says, "I've been reading this great book, '101 Ways to Calm an Infuriated Yurble.' It has a lot of good ideas for keeping my cool when I get upset about something. Although some of the ideas AREN'T SO GREAT!!" he shouts. "Whew, almost blew my top there."

Astronomy Club: The Astronomy Club members greet you warmly as you enter the room... except the club president, who glares daggers at you and growls wordlessly.
The Wocky, Korbat, and Buzz intercept you as soon as you enter. "Look, we're about to make our move. He's getting intolerable; he won't even speak to any of us, he just grunts at us, and that's only when he bothers to notice that we exist at all. We can't take this. Just watch for the signal, when we take over the club from him." Notice the change in the picture. The Blumaroo is now increasingly angrier while the other members of the club look concerned.

Archivist: The archivist says, "As I suspected: Gordos, the Collector. There are only a few gems unlit on the ceiling of the Hall of Heroes, so that narrows down which Hero's constellation is to be found next."
He coughs. "And in that vein, I'm examining the remaining Heroes, the ones whose gems have not yet been lit. Fauna, the Gatherer; Kelland, the Thief; Jerdana, the Protector; and of course, Altador himself. I am forced to suspect that one of these Heroes may have been the traitor I spoke of before."
"I know it is unthinkable that one of them might have stolen our history, but I see no way around it. Kelland is an obvious suspect; could he have gone back to the thieving ways of his youth? Or perhaps Jerdana's power has grown to the point where she desires to challenge Altador for the kingdom. Fauna, well, I can't think of why she would do something like this... maybe beneath her outward appearance of kindness there lurks a heart of malice. And Altador himself, well... it would be unfathomable that he might destroy the history of his own kingdom, but he might have had reason. Shame, perhaps, over letting the Darkest Faerie conquer the kingdom..." He shakes his head sadly. "It is a sudden betrayal that I inevitably curse."

Aye, quite a bit of disturbing news, but let's get to our wonderful book! The new pages 32 - 35 are now available to read.

Chapter 8 The Collector When it comes to financial dealings, it is very easy for one's morals to slip, since greed is a very powerful and terrible desire. Those who can resist its call are greatly valued for their honesty. That is why Gordos, our Skeith tax collector, is always smiled upon--even when he comes to collect. Before Gordos helped to found Altador, he served a city that severely taxed its citizens. He felt bad for taking such a large portion of everyone's earnings, but the governor insisted that every Neopoint was being put to good use and that high taxes were necessary to keep the city prosperous and growing. Gordos took the governor at his word, but eventually he noticed that the city was falling into ruin. Crime had escalated, and many went to sleep hungry. Wondering why a city with so much tax revenue was not flourishing, Gordos went to talk to the governor. When he was denied entrance, Gordos pushed his way into the governor's home... and was shocked to see it lavishly decorated. Expensive art and exquisite rugs lined the rooms. Golden plates and goblets were set on a table with enough food for thirty townspeople. Gordos clenched his teeth. So this was where the tax money had gone? To gold platters for the governor to dine upon while the people starved? Gordos confronted the governor, who attempted to bribe him, offering to share his riches if Gordos kept quiet. But Gordos would have none of that. He alerted the police, and had the governor removed from office. Gordos then sold the luxury items, returned the profits to the people, and reduced the tax rate to a fifth of what it had been. Word of Gordos's deeds soon came to the attention of King Altador, and before the next new moon, the brave tax collector was in the council of an honest leader.

That's all for today guys, hope you enjoyed! :)
