Ankh Hints
Where can I find a robe?
1 of 13: Since there's none lying around out in the open, there must be one in a drawer or clothes closet or something.
2 of 13: There are two lockers in the downstairs area.
3 of 13: But only the one on the right (in the father's bedroom area) has an option for opening the door.
4 of 13: Right-click on the locker to attempt this.
5 of 13: You'll learn that it can only be opened by brute force.
6 of 13: Since there aren't any brutes present, look around for other possibilities.
7 of 13: Check out that big precious vase that's just to the right of the locker.
8 of 13: When you click on it, you'll notice that it's held in place on its slanty pedestal by an old brush.
9 of 13: Find the red brush below the vase and just left of it. What if that brush were moved?
10 of 13: It's between the vase and the locker, so maybe its removal would cause the vase to fall and hit the locker hard enough to jar it open (or vase it open, rather).
11 of 13: Right-click on the brush to take it.
12 of 13: Sure enough, the vase falls toward the locker and knocks its door mechanism loose.
13 of 13: Now you can right-click on the locker to open it and find a robe.
