Hm, I'm not sure...I have reason to believe these strings are not encrypted with base64 or a hash at all and they are actually just another ROT-ed version of the Gibberish Key (rowan72 TM).
There's a...

By now we know that this can be cracked with a tool called ClipSecure set to the options
Algorithm: Twofish
Chaining: CFB8bit
Hash: RipeMD
But we need to figure out the keyword.
A hint for this...

Good job, caspian_x!
Heavily encrypted, but we should always be able to guess the keywords. I guess you can put ClipSecure up as a must-have tool for what is there and what is still to come....

@Rowan

@RPGgame
What you described was exactly the same for me. I expected something to happen when you find the card, a pop-up like I've seen before. Perhaps all others get one in that second you find the ...
