Go to the bedroom on the third floor. Use the knife in your inventory. That should keep you busy for a while. Good Luck

I've done nothing in town, because I can't seem to find out how to get there. I think I need to drive the car to town, but I can find any fuel to get the car started. I've dug up the papyrus, but I have no idea how to get it translated.
