I've put in about three more hours of play, and feel very close to something, but am once again up against a stumper. More help for helpless, if anyone is kind enough... Spoilers! I seem to be in a double-key bind. There are two keys that I know exist, but don't know how to locate. I can't tell which to go after first, and which depends on already having succesfully gotten the other. The first is kiddy key. I am told to feed him stuff from inside the safe, but I can't open it. Do I need to melt the ice first? According to the kitchen ghost, Dracan's star will melt the ice, but that is sealed in the master's air-tight box. The safe, too, is airtight. Hmmm... The second is a key made of Mercury, Silver, and Gold. For mercury, I am using the heavy fluid found in the master's cabinet. For silver, I'm using the silver spitoon from the hall closet. For gold, I am drawn for some reason to Dracan's bathroom. For one, all the fixtures are gold, and can be manipulated (unlike the fixtures in the Master's bathroom). Moreover, the goldfish tank seems to be filled with "specks of gold." Unfortunately, nothing seems to operate on the goldfish tank, except for objects of destruction, and nothing seems to operate on it once destroyed. Moreover, while I can put the mercury in its bottle into the silver bowl, I can't "pour" it into the bowl. Operate,Open Bottle,Bowl just gives me the "you spill it all over the bowl" message. One key for the room off the study... what lies there? More ghoulish horror I hope.
