Yeah, doatch at droke about everything!

Hmm... If rask is take, and one of the glauds is the raskable glaud, I suppose you could also rask raskable glaud

Could tophtage be darkness? "Our morleon is dark"?

OK! I'm going to do something new from hereon: Simultaneous approximate translation, if we run into a lot of words at once.

Note that the translation is done by a neural network (that is, my brain) and may not be entirely accurate.

"Dass Dapes in Delcot - Let's Play The Gostak"

We saw "gope" in the instruction manual. It appears to mean "long". We saw the word "fosk" on the gomway, but never figured out what it is.

OK, so sorting out the curple appears to be a droke job. Maybe.

What about the stuff we saw on the gomway?

A raskable glaud is about as unheamy as a darf of jenth, but at least it can vorl the doshery from the gitches.
[A removable glaud is about as useful as a darf of jenth, but at least it can keep the birds out of the doshery.]

I think 'heamy' might be 'important' or 'useful'.

Lots of vocabulary there. Maybe time to explore some more - pell samilen and pell gomway ? Maybe it's the same gomway as from the delcot, maybe not?

Also did we ever tunk darftunder ?

Samilen
A samilen for the drokes of tondam. You can pell at the delcot to jiloff or the gomway to loff.

[A samilen for the drokes of tondam. You can go to the delcot to the southwest, or the gomway to the west.

Hmm. Is a 'darf' like a hammer or something? Also, I'm pretty sure 'tund' is 'make' at this point.

What's a shamtag? I bet 'lelloed' is 'closed'.

Gomway
You’re on a gomway deaving loff, with gropples on the fosk. To hoff is the samilen you rebbed from the delcot.
[You're on a gomway leading west, with gropples on the (side of the road?). To the east is the samilen you saw from the delcot.]

OK, this isn't the same gomway as before, because there's no stike here. So we have two different gomways.

I think I might draw a map at some point. The dictionary will also be updated eventually

My brain's fried after work today so I don't have many ideas. Shamtag might be our bag? I don't know if we have a word for "open", but maybe we can unlello shamtag

Maybe also reb gropple and reb fosk.

> unlello shamtag
That’s not a dape I recognise.

> dislello shamtag
You can’t skobe it while it’s riked gemmly.

It seems "skobe" might be the word we're looking for. "Riked" is "set", but what's "gemmly"?

> skobe shamtag
You can’t skobe it while it’s riked gemmly.

> tunk gropple
The gomway is motched with them.

> tunk fosk

I think 'fosk' is either the center or side of the road. I wonder if we can use it as a direction ("in")?

Bonus:

> tunk shamtag
It’s a snave and sharmy shamtag that flomes when you durch it. Its dugrid is lelloed. The shamtag is currently riked gemmly.

I understood almost none of that.

Could 'fosk' be 'pavement' or 'curb'?

Ah, I think I get it... Gemmly and bommly are directions, but they're most likely "clockwise" and "counter-clockwise." So, let's try...

> rike shamtag bommly

If I've got it right, that's "Turn [shamtag] [either clockwise or counter-clockwise]"

I was thinking "rike" was secured/locked and "gemmly" was firmly/securely but I like your idea.

I guess "motched" is something like "filled", like the gropples are all over the fosk?

At least we got "skobe" out of it? That last one doesn't make much sense either, maybe "durch" is hold? And "dugrid" is the lock or clasp?

Can you rask gropple?

Can we durch darftunder and then rask daft?

> rike shamtag bommly
It skobes itself, abvating a pogrifon.
[It opens itself, revealing a pogrifon.]

Niiiiice! 'Abvating' was used in the manual for 'figuring out' but it could also be 'revealing'. And what's a pogrifon?

> tunk shamtag
It’s a snave and sharmy shamtag that flomes when you durch it. Its dugrid is skobed and rasks a pogrifon. The shamtag is currently riked bommly.

It’s a dobbly pogrifon of sindish and koldgeon, tunded as a juffet for your shamtag.

OK, we've heard of 'sindish' before. 'Koldgeon' is new. What could a 'juffet' be, though?

> rask gropple
They’re shoracle.

> tunk gropples
The gomway is motched with them.

Well, they're all over the place, but we can't remove them for some reason. Oh well.

As for the darftunder, we already took one darf from it... let's look at it again.

Samilen

You can also reb here a darftunder.

> rike brimny coyd gemmly

I knew it!

So far:

GGB = palgic darf

GBG = darf of jenth

BBB = suddy darf

GBB = footch darf

Only one left!

Okay, to recap all of that:

GGG = whomm darf
GGB = palgic darf
GBG = darf of jenth
GBB = footch darf
BGG = skebbic darf
BGB = tarshen darf
BBG = hosh darf
BBB = suddy darf

OK, so what are these things we're holding?

> tunk whomm darf
Snave, very snave. There’s so much koldgeon in this darf, you can’t tunk it for more than a camling.
[Snave, very snave. There's so much koldgeon in this darf, you can’t look at it for more than a moment.]

[Jenth? Why are there jenth darfs? Who eats jenth?]

O-kay, that's a BIG hint. The darftunder appears to be a vending machine of some sort, and darfs are comestibles!! But who, or what, eats jenth?

> tunk footch darf
It’s gharmy with footch.

I'd originally thought 'gharmy' was 'hungry' (see the Jallon), but now I'm thinking it's either 'dripping' or... yeah, I dunno.

[It's not edible by gostaks, but you could throw it at a pank if you see one.]

That feels like a hint. Are there any panks anywhere in the game?

Sounds a lot like darf = sandwich. suddy = rotten? samilen = square?
The droke said they had seen a pank in a sitch of jenth.

O-kay then, guess we just have to...

> rike shamtag gemmly

OK, first I thought 'gharmy' was 'hungry'. Then I thought it was 'dripping'. Could it be 'nasty'?

That means, the response would be: [The droke gives you a nasty look.]

Yep. 'Nasty'. Calling it now.

I'm taking it as fact now unless something contradicts it later

suddy = rotten? samilen = square?

I still think 'samilen' is a building of some sort, if only because the droke doesn't want the gostak to durch their shamtag in it.

The droke said they had seen a pank in a sitch of jenth.

Ah, but the question is, what's the sitch? [Kim Possible theme plays ]

[The author spent the next hour listening to the Kim Possible theme on loop.]

Going by sandwich varieties: What if whomm = hot or huge (sub sandwich)? It may seem a bit obvious but maybe it's just that? And from 'nothing important' palgic = cheese or ham? Jenth might be anchovies, or prawns, or shrimp.

Since the shamtag, which seems to be a bag, is also snave, I think it's just expressing general approval, similar to rorm. I'm also not sure jenth is even something edible.

Hmm. I had 'jenth' pegged as 'gold', but 'anchovies' are funnier. I think it might be worth asking the droke about more about all these sandwiches I got.

'Koldgeon' absolutely could be 'pepper', 'lettuce', or 'mustard'.

For reference, the sandwiches you can get with the brimny coyd set gemmly are: the whomm darf, the palgic darf, the darf of jenth, or the footch darf.

What about eating the sandwiches?

I still think 'tavid' is 'hard', which would suggest jenth is a rock or metal or something. "Gope" is "long", so "engoped" is "engorged" or "full", maybe?

> leil hosh darf
You leil a hosh darf.

The same sort of generic response applies for all the other darfs except...

If whomm is huge, koldgeon could be seen as lettuce. You're right about jenth being something unfunny like non-anchovies, I think. What if it's wood? It would make a nice throwing item, maybe along the lines of a boomerang. And I still think suddy is rotten, seeing as it did us in.

I have no idea what to do next but I'm still reading and loving it. Like, how does having all these sandwiches help us at all? Can we feed the rotten one to something?

I think now that we know a little more we should head back into the delcot. Maybe we can tunk each of the individual glauds back there and get some clues? Tunk gitch? Feed one of the darfs to a gitch (disrask?)? I feel like we need to find some light or something for the tophthed curple, too.

Hmm.

This is the delcot of tondam, where gitches frike and duscats glake. Across from a tophthed curple, a gomway deaves to kiloff and kirf, gombing a samilen to its hoff.

This is the second or third time we've seen 'dass' as a negative adjective. First in regard to the gamda or gheliper (I forget which), second in regard to throwing the suddy sandwich at a bird, and now this.

> tunk Cobbic glaud [look at Cobbic glaud]
A glaud with folls of the Cobbics is a scurm thing. This one is durly crenned, with a calbice of poskot.

I still don't know what 'calbice' is. I wonder if it's removable?

> rask calbice
(the Cobbic glaud)
That’s shoracle. [It's stuck.]
A gitch frikes from the hoggam to zank and leil the warb.

Darn. How about...?

> rask gitch
You rask one.

Hey, we got one! Now time to try and see if it can eat one of the other sandwiches.

> pob darf of jenth at gitch
(the gitch)
The gitch malks it.
Your gitch malks you.

Ow! I think 'malks' is 'pecks' or 'claws', which means it didn't like that:
[The bird pecks at it.
Your bird pecks you.]

> pob hosh darf at gitch
(the gitch)
The gitch malks it.

> pob tarshen darf at gitch
(the gitch)
The gitch malks it.

Sure enough, the other sandwiches don't get the same result. Who eats jenth? I guess it's not birds.
(This doesn't consume the sandwiches, btw.)

At this point, I think we have enough information to deal with one of the remaining glauds already. We might have to ask the droke about the rest of them, though.

So one glaud that's poltive (alive?), can we zank it?

The roggler glaud is maybe locked? I don't think we have anything like a key, but I lost track of our inventory. Maybe the pogrifon?

Can the jenthy darf interact with the glaud of jenth in some way?

I'm not sure how to un-stick the calbice yet, either.

I guess we can explore some more. Go to the first gomway and "pell hoff", maybe we can "tunk hoff" there first to get a preview? Or "tunk loff" and "pell loff" at the second gomway, too.

Can the jenthy darf interact with the glaud of jenth in some way?

I was wondering this too. They should at least be equally tavid/hard, so maybe if we find the right verb for "hit"... "pob darf of jenth at glaud of jenth"?

And considering that "about as [useless] as a darf of jenth" seems to be an idiom, I fully expect it to be vital in some way.

Hrm, so maybe we need to tunk roggler to see what the roggler is?

"Brangy" might well be the floor?

Yeah I was thinking maybe disroggle roggler (possibly adding with pogrifon) just to see if it was a lock and we already had a key.

Hoo boy. We got a big one today, folks.

> zank poltive glaud [kill living glaud]
You zank it durly. It smibs into the brangy.
[You durly kill it. It falls to the ground.]

We got another one!

Agreed with 'brangy' being 'floor'. Which might make 'warb' a mouse, or a worm (which as we know, birds eat - dirt floor?)

OK, so that's not working. What about the glaud-with-roggler?

Just our luck that 'roggle' is one of those verbs, like 'lello', that has a completely different opposite. Let's try mapping out the gomway next.

> reb [look]

Delcot
This is the delcot of tondam, where gitches frike and duscats glake. Across from a tophthed curple, a gomway deaves to kiloff and kirf, gombing a samilen to its hoff.

Crenned in the loff lutt are three glauds.
A gitch tunks you from the hoggam.

> kiloff [northwest]

Gomway
You’re on a gomway deaving hoff, with gropples on the fosk. There’s a stike across the gomway here, and the delcot is to jirf.
A pilter deaves here, tunking the fosk for gropples to leil. [A pilter is here, looking at the fosk for gropples to eat.]
The pilter tunks your skebbic darf.

> jirf [south]

Delcot
This is the delcot of tondam, where gitches frike and duscats glake. Across from a tophthed curple, a gomway deaves to kiloff and kirf, gombing a samilen to its hoff.

Crenned in the loff lutt are three glauds.

> kirf [north]

Gomway
You’re on a gomway deaving hoff, with gropples on the fosk. There’s a stike across the gomway here, and the delcot is to jirf.
A pilter deaves here, tunking the fosk for gropples to leil.

OK, so going both northwest and north from the delcot puts us on the same segment of gomway.

> tunk pilter [look at pilter]
A mavrous plave with murgous goaves, tunking the jiloff lutt.
The pilter leils a gropple.
[A mavrous animal with murgous goaves, looking southwest.
The pilter eats a gropple.]

Huh. I swear I've seen 'murgous goaves' somewhere before.

> tunk jiloff [look southwest]
You reb nothing heamy about the jiloff lutt.
The pilter tunks your skebbic darf.
[You see nothing important about the southwest.
The pilter looks at your skebbic sandwich.]

> tunk hoff [look east]
You reb nothing heamy about the hoff lutt.

OK, I get the picture. Looking in directions isn't going to work. The pilter staring at our sandwiches, though... interesting.

> pob suddy darf at pilter [throw suddy sandwich at pilter]
The pilter leils it.
[The pilter eats it.]

> pob skebbic darf at pilter
The pilter leils it.
The pilter leils a gropple.

> pob hosh darf at pilter

Wait, it wants the darf of jenth? Really?

> pob darf of jenth at pilter
The pilter malks it with its goaves and leils the malkage.
[The pilter shatters it with its jaws and eats the wreckage.]

Oh, OK then. We've finally found out what eats jenth.

And I remember where "murgous goaves" came up before...

Previously:

> doatch at droke about pank
“Murgous goaves, those panks rask. They can malk sindish or boltep the calbice off a lonn.”

I translated this as, "Murgous goaves, those panks take." Seems I was wrong - it shoulda been, "those panks have." And looks like the "murgous goaves", which I assume are "huge jaws" or something, can also malk jenth, as well as sindish.

Now then! Back to exploring.

> reb [look]

Gomway

So each time we were typing 'pell samilen', we were fast-traveling! Wow. We've learned a lot.

So, the map looks like this:



I'll post it up at the front, too. Dictionary update... eventually.

We have koldgeon twice, once in a darf/sammich and in/on the pogrifon. Could it be a general word for green/greens/veg, or perhaps fibre?

I wonder if we can lure the pilter into the delcot to munch on the jenthy glaud. Also did we have to take the glaud we killed, or was killing it enough?

I had a thought at work today.

This might be a long shot, but since we know exactly one other thing about what gostaks can do... distim morleon or distim tophthage or distim tophthed curple

Distimming is also our fesh, so we might as well see if it can be done to stuff besides doshes.

It could.

Well, this was productive. We got into the morleon and got... whatever a reggler and a chalm are. And I think we're on the right track with the pilter, at least sort of - if we can figure out a way to move it around.

And I finally updated the dictionary! The Map will be updated soon.

Maybe we have to put the pilter on a leash or something. I'm still looking for a use for the pogrifon, maybe that?

Reggler sounds like roggler, maybe it can be used on the gask-with-roggler?

Since the chalm auto-disgasks, maybe it can interact with the stike that auto-skobes?

Oh I know, we should ask the droke about all our new stuff.

I'm at the point in most puzzle games where I just use everything on everything else. I feel like we've made a little bit of sense out of the glaud-with-roggler and the glaud of jenth, but I still have no idea what to do with the Cobbic glaud.

...huh. So that's what distimming is. I guess not all these words have English translations.

If it's supposed to keep pilters out but it keeps opening again when you close it, "dass" might mean "broken"?

We don't have the reggler any more... which means we have a new verb! "Fargish at" is "give to". Which means what the droke said before was:

“Ah, jenth. It can’t be durched, or zanked, or skobed. But I once rebbed a pank in a sitch of jenth. The pank malked the jenth with its goaves, and it just pobbed from where it was crenned.”

> doatch at droke about pank
“Murgous goaves, those panks rask. They can malk sindish or boltep the calbice off a lonn.”

> doatch at droke about stike
“Before we tunded that stike, the pilters would gomb the delcot sometimes.”
["Before we set up that stike, the pilters would get into the delcot sometimes."]

OK, let's try some fargishing before we ask about everything.

> fargish raskable glaud at droke
He rasks it, then pobs it back at you. “Hardly a glaud at all. Unless you’re a duscat or a plave or something and can’t rask things.”
[He looks at it, then tosses it back to you. "Hardly a glaud at all. Unless you're a duscat or some other animal and can't pick up things."]

> fargish juffet at droke
He rasks it, then pobs it back at you. “From a glaud?” The droke abvates rorm. “Well, aren’t you snave! You’ll distim the doshes in a camling now that you’ve rasked a juffet of the gheliper.”
[He looks at it, then tosses it back to you. "From a glaud?" The droke grins at you. "Well, aren't you snave! You'll distim the doshes in a flash now that you've gotten a juffet of the gheliper."]

Wait, is this something the gheliper... secreted, or something?

> fargish gitch at droke
He rasks it, then pobs it back at you. “Loddle-deeked, is it? It’s been many camlings since the gitches in the delcot of tondam have been loddle-deeked. That’ll be the gheliper’s doing.”
Your gitch tunks you.
[He looks at it, then tosses it back to you. “Loddle-deeked, is it? It’s been a long time since the birds in the delcot of tondam have been loddle-deeked. That’ll be the gheliper’s doing.”
Your bird looks at you.]

> fargish darf of jenth at droke
He rasks it, then pobs it back at you. “Darfs of jenth are scurm!” doatches the droke. “It’s a wainted falliger. Scurm. Always the darfs of jenth.”

> fargish pogrifon at droke
He rasks it, then pobs it back at you. “That’s stin for a gostak’s shamtag, isn’t it? They must be stam of you at the bewl.”

> fargish shamtag at droke
He rasks it, then pobs it back at you. “Don’t durch that thing in the samilen.”

That's what he said before, for the last three. What about the last glaud?

> doatch at droke about cobbic glaud
“Those Cobbics aren’t stam of their glauds. Why, most Cobbics statch their glauds with poskot! Because of the poskot, they smib into the brangy when you durch them. But you can’t durch them until they’re blide, and I’ve never rebbed a Cobbic glaud that was blide.”
["Those Cobbics aren't fond of their glauds. Why, most Cobbics [cover] their glauds with poskot! Because of the poskot, they fall to the ground when you durch them. But you can't durch them until they're blide, and I've never seen a Cobbic glaud that was blide."]

Huh, interesting. We know gasking makes things blide, so what happens if we gask the Cobbic glaud?

I don't think it'll be that easy, somehow.

> fargish chalm at droke
He rasks it, then pobs it back at you. “Distunk it. You can gask.”
[He looks at it, then tosses it back to you. “Ignore it. You can gask.”]

I really think 'distunk' is 'ignore' now. OK, one last check...

> pell delcot

Delcot
This is the delcot of tondam, where gitches frike and duscats glake. Across from a tophthed curple, a gomway deaves to kiloff and kirf, gombing a samilen to its hoff.

Crenned in the loff lutt are two glauds.
Your gitch nurls stinly.

> gask Cobbic glaud
You can’t gask it through the calbice.

I knew it! We gotta do something about that calbice before we can take care of the Cobbic glaud. But what?

I'm starting to think that a glaud is some kind of generic term for barrier or obstacle. I don't know how to make sense of them all being so different otherwise.

Will see if I can come up with more things to try tomorrow. I don't know how a single person could muster enough creativity and patience on their own to get through this whole game.

Don't forget, we can always try looking at the brolges hints if we're stuck. They're in the same language, but they are otherwise hints.
