OMG! I didn't realize there was more riddles xD

Anyway, glad to be back :) How's everyone doing?

Stuck on 45 atm, it's one of those riddles where I have to remember older riddles, which I suck at. A little hint would be nice. Perhaps tell me what I'm supposed to remember.

45: The relic with "Everything is the key" written on it. I'm guessing it has something to do with "Nothing is the key", but I can'r really remember what I did back then.[/color]

Ok, I might have made some progress. Heres my musings:

AHRMMTYD
AH RM MT YD
Northwest 8 spaces (N)
Southeast 18 spaces (X or I)
Southeast 20 spaces (I or H)
Up 24 spaces (V or G)
There are two answers for the last ones: the first is if you continue from the last letter you got, the second is if you go from x each time.

So NXIV (is there an N in roman numerals?) or NIHG: I am not getting anything, but if you get something brilliant from it, then that's cool.

Omi!

*runs to hug him...
...stabs a wooden stake through him*

There! That'll make sure you aren't a vampire too!

*sticks her tongue out and flies back up to the rafters*

Now c'mon, we got to get outta here and into the mansion!




*cheers Davo on from the mansion*

Come play with us Davo~

*hums quietly as she glances at the puzzle on the floor, folding a black piece of paper...

...gliding to the broken window, she throws the folded paper airplane out towards Davo...

...and then quietly sits back on the rafters to meditate over the puzzle*

*blinks and stares at Zarii*

Zarii-chan...? How'd you get all the way up here?

*points at the rafter and at how high up they are*

Try not to fall...

*giggles*

Well Zarii.. I posted the only thing I could come up with... but still no comprehensible words... or how to attach it to the mini grid or the big one...

*secures Zarii's line to the rafter as she speaks*

Oh yes, and I also got back at Omi..

*winks at Zarii as she points at the rather large stake through Omi*

I think he's not a vampire... mebbe...



((Two more hours and I'll be home to where I can try to think without getting caught not working *blushes*))
