A badly-wrapped package.

A brown paper package sits on Ahrotahn's desk in Relto. It shakes and wobbles, giving the general impression that it is grievously annoyed.

She takes it and unscrews the panel on the right-hand side.

Oh look, another peculiar folding key to match the peculiar hole in the side of the box! She's only done this puzzle twice before. And then inside the revealed drawer there are a pair of gears that let her link up the central moving gear, and that reveals another extra gear, and -

These gears don't appear to mesh in a way that will let her link up with the final gear.

Perhaps she can cover part of the distance with the extra gears, and then bridge the remaining gap with the rubber band?

Yes!

The clock face appears to be fully in motion now, with all its gears whirring away merrily.

She looks at it through the lens again. She also takes a closer look at the oval socket.

The oval socket is empty, and the clock still has a noticeable lack of hands. Neither of these things change under lens-light.

Does pushing the button or moving the slider produce interesting results?

Can the screwdriver be attached as an improvised clock-hand?

Pushing the button causes the diorama at the top of the clock to rotate a quarter-turn, revealing a small metal tube in a newly-visible niche.

Does the tube fit into the oval socket? Alternatively, can it be attached as a clock-hand?

[personal profile] all_the_worlds_have 2015-09-06 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
No and no. It does appear to have a small end-cap, however.

She removes the cap and looks inside.

Inside, there is a piece of paper rolled up tightly. When unrolled, it proves to be a faded black-and-white photograph of a building.

On the opposite side, someone with spidery handwriting has scrawled "Rev. 6:05".

Revelations, chapter 6, verse 5:
When the Lamb had opened the third seal, I heard the third creature say, "Come!"
I looked, and saw a black horse; and its rider held in his hand a pair of scales.

More likely, though, she'll need to set the clock hands (once she finds them) to read 6:05.

She tries to get a closer look at the glass/gem thing behind the unarmed knight.

It very much looks like it would fit the oval slot, if only she could actually reach it.

[personal profile] calledtoventure 2015-09-07 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Can she stick the screwdriver back there to get it out? Or, failing that, can she hold the entire box upside down and shake it?
all_the_worlds_have: (Default)

[personal profile] all_the_worlds_have 2015-09-07 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
No and no. It seems to be rather solidly attached to the back of the knight.

[personal profile] calledtoventure 2015-09-07 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
And the unarmed knight still doesn't move.

Is it holding its hands/arms in a position that suggests a weapon could be added to complete the figure?

[personal profile] calledtoventure 2015-09-07 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Are any of the various objects she's collected about the right size to serve as a reasonably-scaled weapon for the knight? Say, about half as long as the knight is tall.
all_the_worlds_have: (Default)

[personal profile] all_the_worlds_have 2015-09-07 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
No, unfortunately.

Though on further review, she recalls that none of the other notes she's found so far came in a metal tube...

[personal profile] calledtoventure 2015-09-07 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Is there anything else in the tube?
all_the_worlds_have: (Default)

[personal profile] all_the_worlds_have 2015-09-07 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
No, it appears to be completely empty now that the paper has been retrieved.

[personal profile] calledtoventure 2015-09-07 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Is the tube appropriately sized for a knight-weapon?

Can any of the other knights' weapons be removed and transferred?

[personal profile] calledtoventure 2015-09-07 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
She looks over the tube and its cap more closely, inside and outside, through the lens. Are there mysterious inscriptions? Perhaps a hidden compartment in the closed end?
