Milo then encountered pieces of glass leftover from some of the house's stained glass windows, which Meddy dubbed the Gems of Ultimate Puissance. In addition, they found Odd Trails manuals, and Meddy discovered a scrap of paper from Lucksmith Paper Merchants. They later found a whistle, a ball of twine, a dusty spiral pad, and a pen. Meddy presented him with a pair of brown gloves, Wildthorn's Crackerjack Gauntlets, which he put on and appreciated in the cold of the attic.

Meddy then added to her costume a fur-lined aviator's cap, the Helm of Revelations, and a pair of blue glasses, the Eyes of True and Aching Clarity. Milo found a set of keys with Chinese writing on them, which he imagined to be something special from Milo's past. Meddy found a robe, which she dubbed the Cloak of Golden Indiscernibility, and provided Milo with a pair of black slippers that would help him move quietly.

Meddy insisted that they needed to search the whole place, so they methodically combed the attic. Milo felt that the attic was not special enough, but went to look anyway, because 'an attic was an attic'.

The attic had very dim bulbs with pull strings, and Milo began by pulling them all, though they still left the attic quite dark. Milo unlocked the door with the key underneath a pot containing a fake flower. Pine kept them oiled because they were the only part of the door that he could control. It had a green glass knob and hinges that appeared fragile, but Mr. The attic door was very old, and the wood swelled up in the summer and the door stuck, but in the winter it let drafts through to the house. Not wanting to be discovered, Milo suggested that they wait on the attic stairs until she left, or in the attic itself. While beginning their Odd Trails campaign, Milo and Meddy heard Clem coming up the stairs. Meddy to Milo on the Emporium, Greenglass House, pg.
