Cranny — Escape from the Gravesend Inn

 Dizzy from the upside down parlor…

You wander through hallways and rooms but none of them seem to lead back to the lobby. Eventually, you stumble into a cranny of the hotel...where on earth is the staircase? You need to get your things and leave. Disoriented, you start to look around when out pops a zombie gardener unexpectedly from around a corner! He bumps into you, startling you both.

Through the door, you see the giant windows of the conservatory, and through them you see outside of the hotel. In the darkness, you can see silhouettes of the trees outside blowing in the wind, and now it is pouring down rain. But maybe - you hope - if you can get in, you can find a door to get outside. Then you can leave.

“Alright.” You say, unnerved. You should have listened to that newspaper article and stayed away from this hotel. This certainly counts as “unnatural phenomena”. Although Bartholomew, while clearly not alive, seems kind enough. He’s certainly polite at the least. Might as well help and see if you both can’t get something out of it. Who knows what might happen if you don’t help?

Looking at the door, you can see the lock where his missing keys would go. But next to the older wrought iron door, is a newer looking keypad.

Hint 1

All of the riddle answers are mythological elements.

Hint 2

The answers for 2 & 4 are opposites of each other, just like Yin & Yang.

You have unlocked the pinpad! You’re one step closer to getting away from this horrible place! You open the door, allowing Bartholomew in.
