You know...kind of like how the One Ring affected its carriers. *wanders off to make a new cup of coffee and get comfy in Confusion Corner*
"This is the One Vase of the Kachinas, thrown and fired by the great spider-trickster Iktomi in the great Potteries of Doom thousands of years ago. The power of the Kachinas was spun into its clay, and when it was lost it greatly diminished his trickery. It is trying to get back to its Master... but he must never get it!
"One Vase to show the dolls,
One Vase hath bound them.
One Vase the Readers see,
and Pablo doth confound them."
Frodo shivered, as a vision of the dark, ominous hand of Bulwer-Lytton reached for him from out of the East. "What a terrible rhyme! I wish it had not been discovered in my lifetime."
"So do I, and so do all of us who live in such times," replied Gandalf.

Re: Which Way 2013-02-25
In a sense, yes - there were seven Kachina dolls. Saving the depictions of them on the vase might count towards the rhyme-of-nine since there's a longstanding tradition in many cultures that a picture or image of a person (or deity or spirit) is symbolically linked to them.bmonk wrote:Are there seven other people there to be saved?Dave wrote:She's thinking "A niche in time, saves nine."
