Nancy Drew 17: Legend of the Crystal Skull Hints
What do I do with the tracing I found in the great room?
1 of 4: It's not exactly a tracing; it's more like those rubbings you did in Nancy Drew 13 ("Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon"), where you put a piece of paper over a chunk of rough stone in a crypt and rubbed a pencil over it till the underlying pattern showed up.
2 of 4: Have you looked at the miniature model of the cemetery in the great room yet?
3 of 4: One of the models you can look closely at (it's in the upper left part of the model) has pictures on it that look a lot like the one in the tracing. But the tracing is much bigger than this model; it must come from the real cemetery.
4 of 4: Go to the real cemetery to that same crypt, and you'll find four panels of rough stone. Click on one of them, and Nancy will tell you what to do next.
