You use the powders from the Alchemist's Apratis to make the color of the appropriate color of the stone. IF you want to know highlight to read.
Mala - Red & Yellow
Ameth - Red & Blue
Emer - Yellow & Blue

check to see if you there are any that didnt disappear inside the brazier and check to see if you left any behind on the table

Thanks for the suggestion but - nope - no luck!
The first 2 "mixes" worked, but something's gone wrong as it says the last two powders I have are still yellow!!!!!
HAILPPP!

So does that mean you made purple twice? Used Red and Blue together twice.

I don't know to be honest, I didn't really understand the puzzle (and I don't like cheating) so I was just throwing all of the powders in one at a time.
The first "flash" I got with the first correct combination I thought was the solving of the puzzle, took me ages to realise it wasn't!
But I have just checked again before replying to this and I definately only have 2 powders left and they are both yellow!??!!

Check that "Pool of thingies" back in the temple....
Uhm, actually I don´t think the powders are put there, but hey, you´re desperate

SOunds like to me it flashed even though it wasn't the correct first one. You might have to go back to a save point prior to doing the riddle of smoke.

Somewhere I read, that all the stuff you click on, is put at the end of an action-row (line? sorry for this explanation)
It´s just like clicking on a spell, Unpausing - Pausing rapidly and then again clicking on the spell, while it´s just being performed but not deactivated -> this will make the spell to be cast twice.
Never tried it, but maybe you just clicked all that Powder stuff too fast and made the hell a mess of it...

Well, I took the advice and re-started from an earlier save, all is well now and have just defeated the Balor Lord - not as difficult as I thought it would be when it appeared (I am a level 10 fighter and level 5 wizard).
Now only if I can figure out how to get into the door in the Orc lair (past the Drow) His name is "many-arrows" but his door is continually locked saying "he'll be back soon"!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Getting past the door doesn't really involve a riddle. You'll most likely understand it sooner or later.

Nope, still not figured it out.... although I have defeated Klauth (no easy task like the Balor Lord was) and have a second Word of Power... now to find the third......

Have you killed the other two orcs in the saving the supply line quest? I think that you have to be on the third part of that quest to get the doors to open.

Doh you spilled the beans

Well, I am now in chapter 4 without actually solving that quest - and here's me thinking one of the words of power would be guarded by "many-arrows".... obviously not!
I am now concerned at whether 15th level is high enough to tackle chapter 4 (10 fighter 5 illusionist)...
...time will tell of course!
