Waking Penumbra

    One of the many key characters in the game, getting to Penumbra is made difficult unless one is prepared when first finding her home.

The Plaque at the Doorstep

This plaque gives a clue as to each item that must be placed next to it, in succession, to open the door.

Hammer Here to Enter (any hammer)
Pick Item Carefully to Keep Going (a lock-pick, not the kind you dig with)
A Golden Ring of Truth Faces Thee (a gold ring of course)

Grasp Not at Threads (a spindle of thread, any color ;) )
The Royal Mint Shall Not Hold Thee Back (a gold nugget oft in the possession of headlesses)

Once the nugget has been placed, the plaque transforms to the key to her door.

Been Asleep Long?

Conveniently enough, an orange potion has been provided to wake her up, well, the first time. Thing is, with the generator screwing with mage's minds still on, you'd wake her into screaming insanity. Been to Skara Brae yet? Horance constructed his keep from Black rock to block the etheric distortion, surrounding himself with the stuff on all sides. Penumbra may ask if you know of anything to protect her.
You may go to the mines to get the stuff, but Rudyom has enough at his house so I took it! Four convenient pedestals for four rocks.
