Shadowgate Hints

1 of 7: The entrance is in the library.
2 of 7: I bet you had some suspicions about that hole there, yes?
3 of 7: I bet you have something to put in there, yes?
4 of 7: No? No gems?
5 of 7: You're either lying or you've slept since you last played. You needed them to get through the hellhole.
6 of 7: Red or blue? Well, they both fit, but only the red one works.
7 of 7: And now you've opened the secret passage. Hooray!
