Nancy Drew | The Haunting of Castle Malloy | Part 9_Standing Stone

Castle
Check under the bed of the far cot and see Matt's lost luggage.
Go to the library. Hear Kit and Kyler quarreling.
Once the conversation becomes muffled go down to the main hall.
Exit the castle.



Screaming Banshee Inn
Go to the arch way. Click the "Bailor" sign to go to the inn.
Walk in and ask Donal if he knows what those signs mean the great columns. He says it's an ancient Celtic script, the Ogham runes. He has ever a book on runic bought but had no patience to read through.
When Nancy asks if she can borrow the book, says Donal that he only shows when the band played his favorite music.
Nancy volunteers to play the drums.

When the drum puzzle is done, take the Ancient Celtic Sabbats - Ogham book.

Castle
Talk to Kit about Matt's luggage and the discussion in the library.
Go back upstairs. Talk to Kyler and also give her the flowers.

Standing stone
Go to the standing stones at bottom part of the pasture.

The 4 standings stones are made up of 3 stones one on top of another.
Click on each of the 3 stones and see that they rotate to show 4 different etched Ogham script, tree or constellation.
In front of the first stone is an ornate disk on the ground.

Ogham runes: The bottom stones have Ogham runes.
Read the Ancient Celtic Sabbats book given by Donal. Learn about the 4 festivals: Samhain, Imbolc, Beltaine and Lugnasa.
Learn that Ogham scripts are made up of 20 letters. They are read in stone markers from bottom to top.
Note down or remember the first 2 Ogham of each of the festivals: BE for Beltaine, LU for Lugnasa, SA for Samhain and IM for Imbolc.

Trees: Click on the middle stone to see the different depictions of trees: winter - no leaves, spring - new leaves, summer - full of leaves and fall - falling leaves.
Constellation: Turn the stones on top and see 4 different constellations.
Using the Zodiac Constellation book taken from the library, identify what those constellations are.
They are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.

Constellation dates: Taurus is May 15-June 20 (summer), Leo is from August 11-September 16 (fall), Scorpius is from November 24-November 30 (winter) and Aquarius is from February 17-March 11 (spring).

Arrange the standing stones: Now that we have identified all the etchings on the stones, turn the stones to show the appropriate information.
Look at the first stone. The wedding is 3 days from now on June 1. So it is summer.

Constellation:Taurus Tree: summer - full of leaves Festival: Beltaine


Constellation: Leo Tree: fall - falling leaves Festival : Lugnasa


Constellation: Scorpio Tree: winter - no leaves Festival: Samhain


Constellation: Aquarius Tree: spring - new leaves Festival: Imbolc





If correctly done, the ornate stone below the first stone opens. Take printing plate #3 with binary 01011001.
Exit the castle grounds.

Screaming Banshee Inn
Click on the Bailor sign right of the castle gate. Enter the Inn.
Talk to Donal again. He is the one that placed Matt's suitcase under cot.
