Is there anything off in the Blacksmith? I don't know if there's maybe signs of what Ranger was working on, or McJango's... pyrite.

You check the Blacksmith. The furnace is full of ashes and of half-melted pyrite. The whole place is full of uncomfortable fumes, really.

Also, some metal has been taken, both working metal and a metal rod.

Are there explosives in Explosive Storage that can be detonated using a remote from across the town?

Prepare several types of red dye using pulverized rock and the following binders, if available on the map: honey, wax, linseed oil, chalk, rubia. Do any of these taste like the dye on Bud?

Does the sound library in blue keep any kind of record on when files were last played? Anything?

There are not. All explosives in Explosives Storage are basically Throw and Go types.

You prepare the dyes with the crushed rock. It seems like honey, wax, and rubia all impart a taste that makes it clearly different. Linseed oil and chalk do not compart a taste that overrides the earthy tastes, and thus can match.

You show it off. It's unused and unopened.

Where can we find linseed oil and chalk?

Is there any missing from the locations that they're found in?

Linseed oil is in the General Store and the Restaurant. Chalk is in the Schoolhouse and the General Store.

Oil may be missing in the General Store, you cannot tell. Some of it is definitely missing in the Restaurant.

Chalk is not missing.

I sweep for all kinds of oil to see if they are missing and where they are missing from, including machine oil.

...sigh.

It looks like a few other cooking oils have been used in the restaurant. The machine oils could be found in the Garage, and have not been touched.

Can we check the rooms of every dead player for anything that's weird? All three dorms, I guess.

I know we checked Tsavorae already, but I guess we can look again...?

Strong Bad's sheets are wet.

That's it.

Also, upon re-examining the Barber, you realize a dentist's drill is also missing.

Dip a finger into the dye in Bud's barrel. Is it oily?

This post was last modified: 2 hours ago by Jessica.

Is the dye in the barrel an exact match for something made with red rocks and linseed oil, or is there a subtle difference in texture or something like that?

Do they taste the same?

Can we also run the tests with clay, specifically the type of clay from Ranger's flag?

Extra investigation:

Can we have Elden Ring compare the taste/harmfulness of Bud's lung water to the copper water we dunked them in for testing purposes?

It looks like it's a close match, but not quite perfect. You may be able to create a better match somehow.

They taste similar, however.

You run the tests with clay. The clay does not work well as a binding agent.

Extra investigation:

You do. It appears the lung water is generally about as harmful as copper-contaminated water.

If we make the dye with egg, does that match and work as a binder? Does it match the taste/texture of the barrel dye?

If so, can eggs be found in the Officer's Club? General Store? Restaurant?

Are any missing from there?

If I go get TNT and put its binding agents in the rock dye, does that hold it together?
