Murder in the Abbey Hints
How can I read the scribbles on the wall?
1 of 12: You need to find a way to reverse the image, since it's been scribbled backwards.
2 of 12: You need to take a rubbing of the text.
3 of 12: We need a couple of literary items, which unfortunately we don't have.
4 of 12: This is no time to be rooting around the abbey looking for ink and paper.
5 of 12: Especially since we have a fully qualified copyist at our beck and call.
6 of 12: Ask Bruno for his copyist tools, and he will hand over both ink and paper.
7 of 12: You now need to use the ink and paper with the wall.
8 of 12: However, we're going to need another tool to firmly press that paper into the scratches to transfer them to the paper.
9 of 12: This tool WILL require us to traverse the abbey unless you picked it up earlier.
10 of 12: It's in the kitchen, I'm afraid. And it's a long walk back, especially without the map!
11 of 12: There's a rolling pin here. Grab it.
12 of 12: You can then use it with the wall to get the paper with the writing intact.
