Thanks for that.  I thought that was a bit obscure.  Most of the puzzles
have been fairly easy up to that.  In fact, after solving that, I've
gotten fairly far, but am stuck again.  This time, the problem is that the
puzzle seems a bit visual and I am totally blind.

Spoiler Space

























I just escaped the old woman's house by mixing the potions in the braziers
and ended up in a secret room with a demon.  So, now there are these four
words on the wall "vinda jorth furr vatn."  Above, there are a bunch of
characters that are supposed to form some kind of picture.  That is where
this is visual.  I assume somebody who can see would understand what the
picture is supposed to be.  So what is the picture supposed to be anyhow?
Is it a hint about the words below it and the light changing color?  I
tried saying some of the words and a gong would ring and eventually, I
would be killed for saying the wrong words.  Are there any other puzzles
like that which may give me any trouble?  Thanks for any help.
