 		Wow... that new chart you made is confusing... I'm confused by the original square as is. If something comes out of you using that, be sure to post it, because it kind of seems like a stretch.

Agreed. This was a pretty maddening one.

 		There has to be a reason why "Chance" and "One" are mispelled..

CHANCE = CANCE
ONE = DNE

Missing H.

D instead of O.

Just when you think we got this thing solved.. we dont.

Ok, we've made some real progress, as I promised.

"ONE CANCE TO PULL! JUST DNE!"

CHANCE = CANCE
ONE = DNE

Missing H.

D instead of O.

I cant seem to find any clues as to why the mispells.. unless its there and I just dont see it.

 		Well, we must have done something right. Woohoo for level five!
Here's the Wrath Room, courtesy of Miyar:

Quote:
You pull on the book "Etruscan Roman Remains in Popular Tradition," and hope for the best.

Miyar's voice comes back. "Congratulations! Not many people get past this point. But I suppose you got some help from your little friend, Hope." You look at the scratch marks on the bookshelf. "I just couldn't convince her to stop drawing on my furniture..." She sighs. "Oh, well. You've succeeded where she failed. The little brat picked the wrong book. There went her one chance..."

The bookshelf you were just standing in front of slides over by an invisible force, as though it were being pushed. An entranceway to another room seems to be behind it. You reluctantly walk through it and find yourself in a room similar in layout to the Envy Room. The only differences are the decoration and color; this room is red.

A painting is on the opposite wall.

Below it there is a plaque written in symbols that you can't understand.

(Click here to see the plaque.)

Here, the only furnishings are the painting, plaque, and a wooden chair in the middle of the room. You look closer on it to investigate. There is a small square indented in the ground around the chair. On the back of the chair, the words "SIT HERE" are painted crudely in white. On the seat, the words,
"HIVE GEAR EPIC FOE IRONY MUD!! STAINING PI HERDING RISER!!"
are scratched in the same hurried fashion as the words on the bookshelf.

What do you do?

 		OK, the plaque's in greek, I'm not sure if it's real greek or just written like it. I'm working on it...

OK, you beat me to it Smoothy...except you've got at least one letter wrong I get sx kcl to start, I think you have the Hs and Cs mixed up?

I make it:
Quote:
sx kcl hmg hwhn fpgt opc sf gpg? kcl osdd fgg pgm fcct. fpg dgxf kcl htcfpgm pstf. nskhm
however this is based on using straight letter switching, we really need someone who knows Greek to confirm - however I'd bet money on this being a code.

hehe.. I just forgot to mention the 2nd step I took..

The symbols are not true Greek, it's just the Symbol Font.
I took the letters, as they are in the symbol font.. and tossed them into the
cryptogram solver..

it spit out the...

I simply adjusted it for my eyes.. as it still looks messed up..

 		Using substitution this is what I get from the plaque.

Quote:
If you are Adam, then who is Eve? You will see ver soon. Sve left you another hint. Miyar


IMO
ver = very
Sve = She

Which would give us the letters H O Y H (for the side puzzle)

Now, What do we do?

 		what about the other possible code - HIVE GEAR EPIC FOE IRONY MUD!! STAINING PI HERDING RISER..anyone make anything of it? To me it sounds like a phonetic code... so "I've here a pic for anyone taking my early riser..OK maybe not... silly idea... Confused

BTW the painting has an Italian name anyone get anywhere with that as a clue?

EDIT: I wonder if there is any significance to Miyar's age changing?

IS it possible that the "ver" could be "her" instead of "very"? if thats the case...

ver=her
sve = she

this would mean that the V's are H's.. a pattern almost.

HOHH (For the yet unknown puzzle)


HIVE GEAR EPIC FOE IRONY MUD!!
STAINING PI HERDING RISER!!

If this is an anagram, its going to be a pain in the ass...

I see the words: (for the first part)

Hope
Guide/Guidance
Inform
Room Five
Audience
Greece...

and plenty more..

EDIT: Miyars mood changed to ANGRY now too..lol.. and BB apparently means Barbados..how old did it say before?
