Part 125: Ep. 89: Here's the Wind-Up

---


: Last time on MySims Agents: Having struck a deal with the nefarious Sir Vincent Skullfinder, Special Agent Sam becomes the first Sim in thousands of years to enter the Bobabian Sun Shrine!

Sam falls a fairly long way and lands in front of a large carved mural.





... it's a box, Sam.

: There doesn't seem to be any way to force this open without destroying the chest's contents. Perhaps I can somehow trigger the chests to open...

Sam wanders around on this upper ledge, looking at all the chests. There are four.

: Are these connected somehow to the plaques below them?

Sam jumps down to the ground floor.



Gosh! I wonder what we do here?



First things first.



The upward-pointing mirror has to go underneath the shaft of sunlight shining down from above. The rest can just be shuffled around and rotated appropriately. Sam guides the beam of light to one of the wall plaques and the first chest pops open!

: Great. The light triggered the crystal which triggered the lid on the chest to open.



: A golden idol!



But first!



doop de doo



... it looks just like the teacups that we found washed up on the beach. Fancy that!



Why is this jack-in-the-box here? Maybe I'm supposed to use it as a platform to jump back up?





you don't say, Sam



We know it's a magic torch because... uh... because Sam said so. He tucks that away with the cup and updates his notes.

: I should ask Evelyn to stand on the pedestal with this torch.

The fire pedestal is one step closer to completion! Sam gets back to business.



Ta da!



This chest contains not one, not two, not three, but four decorative tribal masks (to Sam's increasing bemusement) and also, for good measure, a decorative Egyptian mask! I guess the Bobabians hosted exchange students.



Having looted this place thoroughly, Sam clambers up the rope to leave. Not wanting to deal with Sir Vincent Skullfinder right this very moment, he heads back to the main temple in search of Evelyn. First, he brings her up to date.

: That man in front of the shrine is named Skullfinder.



: That's him. You've heard of him?

: He claims credit for every archaeological find that makes the news--even if he had nothing to do with their discovery!

: So he's only interested in fortune and glory, huh? I know the type.

Then he gets down to business.

: I found the torch!

: Great! I'll take it to the pedestal!

Evelyn takes the torch and heads off. Sam brings his notes up to date.

: With Evelyn and the magic torch on the pedestal, I should be able to activate it.



Sam pushes the switch on the side of the pedestal and the eyes light up.





We're the best. Lyndsay doesn't care.


---


: Next time on MySims Agents: Let's hope that Skullfinder keeps his half of the bargain, pal.
