we.wav

The sacredness is one
not with new
it's not the fap
His rainbow hair
is only matched by its own cap

are.wav

so there you will find the cryptic prime
take the answers send them then comes the next sign

now.wav

you seek answers to the puzzle
to release the master's muzzle
my cryptic words you shall heed
which [are malicious lists]??? are sacred to him
learn their names with fast speed
or your fate will turn so grim

waiting.wav

the first ones were just unpleasant
I should imagine some of the books
will not be quite present

Simplified, thats

*poetry*

so there yu will find the cryptic prime, take the answers, and send them

(This makes me thinkk of prime numbers, like how jeesus christs name adds up to a prime number, 151.)

then, we need to learn the names of something.

 		In hoping that 'now' refers to Adramelech's beasts, rather than lists(I certainly can't tell, I'm gonna leave the careful listening to others I think), I read up on Adramelech in Gustave Davidson's Dictionary of Angels(it was just lying around the house. Really).

He lists Adramelech as appearing as any one of a peacock, a mule, a horse, a winged lion, or a mule with peacock feathers.

I'm thinking 'we' could easily be refering to a peacock(rainbow mirror seems a good fit for the tail) and I for one associate mules with peasants, so that may well fit 'waiting'. Anyway, I'm gonna try sending something to that effect.

Sounds good Smile If it helps, I'll say that I think it as beasts now as well.
(Okay, I still hear lists - but it might be lists as in "lists of beasts", which would bring us into agreement Wink).

It fits with Neanderthal's spec, so it's worth a shot. If you get the Twelve angry at you, we'll know Vargr and Kozu's way might be better Very Happy

 		alright kids, this one's done

was told to tell you only this(verbatim):

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

"I unlocked the Fifth Key but recieved strict instructions from The
Twelve that I am NOT allowed to talk about or assist you with the
riddle as this Key must be unlocked personally by each and every one
of you. I have been told that if I speak of the Fifth Key with anyone
(either invovled in the cult or not) there will be grave consequences
for me. Do not press me further for information. Complete the Key
yourself."



Shame I told you all what I tried above, isn't it?

I'm at work just now, so no time to look into it. Good luck on key 6!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Hello friends,

Most of you are half-way there. Continue along, but I urge you to not
complete the final Key. Adramelech will be released if you do, and we
all know what consequences that leads to.

It is with deep regret that I inform you of what's been happening lately.

More have been killed. The Twelve have gone blood-crazy and are
sacrificing their own Acolytes in order to what they believe is
strengthen the physical incarnation that Adramelech is to be.
The Twelve are a dangerous cyber cult and I am deeply sorry that I
ever got involved with them in the first place. It was very
unfortunate that I lived within travelling distance of their main
headquarters where the Acolytes of this nation gather in the flesh.

Many teenagers are being cold-bloodedly murdered for this evil demon.
It is a great unjustice and I'm doing all I can to stop it. I have
been able to smuggle several members out of the cult and assisted them
in escaping from the country. This has been very time consuming, and
the main part as to why I haven't been able to contact you all.

I will not lie when I say I have been trained as an adept in the dark
magicks of the cult, but I am trying with all my strength to forget
what I learned from them and apply my skills as a magician in a more
"white" manner. I have created several spells and astral entities
(named servitors) to help combat against the evil Adramelech and his
servants are.

I will contact you all again once I have the time, but I must be
leaving. In an hour I'm drining a couple of young cultists to the
airport and am helping them escape to a different country.

I'm doing most of this out of free will in an effort to help, but I
would be lying if I said it wasn't partly out of guilt.

I must mention the fact that it was partly my fault Mark was killed. I
slipped up and wasn't careful enough in telling members of the cult
that I was building up a resistance, and a spy must have slipped to
one out of meetings and learned something.

I mourn Mark, as he was a great friend and there is not a day goes by
that I do not blame myself for what happened to him.

I must go. Blessed Be, everyone.


Jake


Not a great deal to that one. We've just got to be cautious not to release the last key(the 12th, right?).

 		Hopefuly, the 12th key won't be really easy, like "what is 2 times 3?" Then some moron might do it.

 		No reply at all
No, I've not received word one way or the other regarding my last submission to the Twelve.

 		I know, I submitted the answer to key 5 and still haven't had an answer. I've also sent Jake a message but he hasn't said anything either. I'm beginning to fear the worst.

 		My last e-mail from them was on the 20th, in which they told me, again, not to talk to anyone about the puzzles. (I really hope this isn't overstepping the 'nondisclosure'.) I was told that I cannot continue until the rest of you catch up. I sent another e-mail a little over a week ago asking about everyone's status, but I haven't had a reply to that one yet.
