Well, to be honest, it took me a while, as you all pondered, to realize myself that the one skull was up to indicate where to start. (and probably throw you off as well). Once that hit me, and realizing that each skull that got moved by another one became up as well, it occurred to me that the one up was the next one to turn. Since I made that realization without really thinking about what the solution actually was, I went ahead and had Nadira suggest it.

If the first mistake hadn't scared you off like it did, when you tried to turn them all up, moving the Jade skull twice, you would have realized that wasn't it either. I almost told you it wasn't then, but we (as a group) never quite committed to the actual doing of it. part of that was because I asked you specifically what you were about to do. I should have just went, "Okay, you try that, the Ruby skull turns, there's that baleful red light, and they all reset."

Maybe it would have saved some time, but I wanted to make sure you knew exactly what you'd done when I said it. As it was, this is the worst puzzle place I have, for a while. The lock was meant to be complicated and defeating the egg even I had to search the module to discover. At first, all I knew was "you can't fight it and kill it" which was bad enough. -Frisk
