 		Nice find, inkflamewriter! I wonder if maybe your application got lost in the PM transition. Maybe send a message again to inquire about being given a part to play?

Did the Unholy Court find Tam Lin somehow? Or did I miss something?


I think we found a question for you to ask, Tenshi Wink

 		have we tried the greek alphabet? they said something about alpha the first in the message.

as for anything else...the numbers get changed to letters, which change to a word or something.

how were the letters figured out, and what're the values for rest of the lines?

Mediators

you are well underway, and I think you might be on the right track

our sheep sounded weird today, I think it sounded like this:

BAABBBAAABAABAAAAAAABAAABABAAAABABBABBBAABABAAABAAAAAAAABABAABBBAAA
BBBAAAAAAAAABAABAABAABABAAABBAABBAAAABBAAABBAABAABAAABAABABAABBBAAB
AABAAAABBABABBAAAAAAAABABAABBBAAABBBAAAAAABAAABAAABABBABABBAAAABAAA
AAAAABBAAAAABBBAAABABBABABBABABBAA

Something came to mind while hearing this..

What is a b, spelt backward, with the horn on his head?

 		They keep insisting on my true motives and I can't think of anything Laughing I already tried the "I'm helping youuuu!", but it didn't work. They just think they have nothing to worry about against the Summer Court. Gah.

 		So I asked if they had Tam Lin before the Bellman announced that they did and got this response.

Quote:
Did we find Tam Lin.. an interesting question.. I think you already know the answer to that, since your court announcer already announced it..
so yes, we found him, and brought him back to the place he belongs, next to our queen, he is our knight you know..

now for my question..

Who are the chosen..


So think I should give him the real names?

 		As we are getting desperate with the message (I know I am), so is the pm Laughing Far Dorcha sent me this, did someone else get it too? I've been trying to solve this with every cypher I know and got nothing yet. But I know there are people here who are way smarter with codes than I am.
Far Dorcha wrote:
since you have been so persistent in contacting me and wanting your place as a teind, I am giving you a token of faith..

we raided the summer court's library a few days back, and we found an encoded message.

it was based on the different tales and ballads and at first we didnt think a thing about it, but now it is evident it contains a message.

we deciphered it into a string of numbers..


8255515815201618219221222232611241732322851913159231342115191110121891772454122312268231951311222792182615

our cypher gurus banged their head on this string, and used a simple alphabet substitution which gave the following:

hyeeohotpruivlvwzkxagcwvhesmoiwmduoskjlriqgxedlwlzhwsemalvgiuhzoplrvmgwzpbiiiiwhelxmmiawrqxalxvqqgdegkvvxodnialvnqwkzrxvjkphvlgkpjzkhv

pxasnvlqelxuikphuwegkwjqwxlxxkrviudxecvvkzdiqmvdepiqgdsnalfnprdemyeamfwfq.

But this does not make any sense to us.
So I am giving it to you..

Crack this code for me, and show me you are worth being exchanged for one of the teinds

The Steward


And Tenshi, did you already give them the list of the chosen ones? Because they don't seem to react to that.

 		Gonna double post because reasons. The Absolutely Amazing Amandel solved the cipher. She deserves all the brownies Brownie Brownie Brownie

Here's the answer:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Orange lily needs to get close to the fear dorcha and make sure that they are ok.
We need to liberate the first of the teinds and replace her with one of the sacrifices.
Choose among yourselves who wants to live in the dark courts for now. We will get you back and we can still communicate with you.
The mediators need to learn about a little town in the Netherlands situated near a major traffic way and south of Mosa Trajectum.

It's a Vigenére Cipher with a sort of running (repetitive) key of 'theriddle' which didn't quite track so I played hardball Laughing with it to crack it. HTH, Am


I added the spoilers. I still don't know if any of the other sacrifices are still playing, so I volunteer.

 		Mosa Trajectum will lead you to Spain so be sure to search for it under how it's better known as in the Netherlands: Maastricht. The A2 is the major highway but I'm not sure which town they want.
