Black Dahlia Hints
What am I supposed to do with the Scribe's rocks?
1 of 9: Look at the rocks in inventory. They must be important, but they're so dirty.
2 of 9: Is there any water nearby?
3 of 9: Wash them in the statue fountain.
4 of 9: Assemble the stone pieces into runes. Each rune is three tiles high.
5 of 9: Look for a line on the bottom pieces of each assembled rune to determine the rune order.
6 of 9: They must be in a specific order from left to right.
7 of 9: Jim will physically copy the runes into his notebook when you have done this correctly.
8 of 9: A description of the proper runes is listed next.
9 of 9: The runes look a bit like this and should be arranged in this order: I, slanted X, house, F.
