When you get to the top of the second path, there will be a sign. It’s very worn down, so you’re not going to be able to make it out, but trust me, it says to go left. You’ll walk about a mile through thin bushes and it should be pretty level. You might want to take the opportunity to stop and rest on this part of the path, because once you hit the next marker (a tree with three trunks, one of which is blue), it’s going to be all uphill and treacherous from then on.
After you pass the tri-trunk tree and make it up the next three hills, over the rocks and mudslides, you’ll find yourself on a mesa about 500 feet in diameter. On the north-most point of the mesa you should find what you’re looking for. It’s buried 43 inches under the soil and it’s in a lead-lined case. You’ll need to open it right then and there, since the case is too heavy to bring back down with you, especially considering that once you remove the item, the mesa will shift just enough to cause the angles of incline on the slopes you’re going to have to traverse down to increase by about 20 degrees. Believe me when I tell you that the first hill on the way down is going to be hell. Make sure you bring lots of gauze for any wounds you incur.
If you do manage to make it back alive (passing the pit for the second time is going to be particularly challenging because your arms will surely be tired), head to the center of the nearest village, the one just before Los Sapos. Find the hut with the red roof and the three squares carved into the door and ask for Malen. She will take you to her father who can help you build the device—for a fee, of course.
I told Einhardt I didn’t think you could make it. Prove me wrong.
I’ve just redesigned. It has been a while. The last design was released in late February of this year, and now, 5 months later, I’ve got something new. What a change of pace from the previous (and ridiculous) new design every 1.8 months. Oh well. Guess I was busy.
This design continues along the whole “paint splotch” thing I’ve been doing lately (who knows why) but tones it down quite a bit. I am still using Rockwell, although this time around it’s the real version, not a sketch version. And it’s dark on light—haven’t done that in ages it seems.
The biggest change involves the sidebar I’ve added. My tumblelog mostly consists of stuff I don’t create these days, so I figured I should start showcasing some of MY stuff on the side.
The design looks best in Safari (what doesn’t?), but works in everything else except IE6, where it looks like I actually took a shit on the screen.
