Update on Teutonic Nights where Richard blogs much of what he already emailed to AUZ so....
surmise he wouldn't have emailed those he already knows if he didn't want some guidance or support.
EDIT:RUaWerewolf tweeted@enaxor who I reckon would want even me to work

Further: ROT15 and 13 provide "may help" but I've yet to find the correct extension. Collaboration always welcome.

@SyNeSTro: Welcome to uF and about the puzzle. Think by entering the correct words/names/phrases or codes into the top two submit boxes a solution is revealed in the bottom "readonly" box.
ETA: Are the ROT15 and 13 words a personal msg from Richie to Enaxor stating he "may help" us with Bit by Bit ?

Tannhäsuer message decoded I was able to decode the Tannhäuser message with the new hint:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The bit by bit page is a simple XOR calculator.
2nd part of Tannhäuser code is an XOR code. The key is the first part of the message. Decoding reveals:
V unir gb or pnershy. V pna abg tvir lbh nalguvat gung pna vqragvsl zr. V pna bayl bcra jvaqbjf, cbvag lbh va gur evtug qverpgvba. V'z nybar urer.

This is again a ROT13 for

I have to be careful. I can not give you anything that can identify me. I can only open windows, point you in the right direction. I'm alone here. My people are more concerned about their own secrecy than what is happening, but we need to know what is happening with the kids. Be careful. Trust no one. Does Richie understand the numbers?
Which numbers?

It was the whole time before our eyes:
The FedEx Tracking numbers. Richie even wrote, that this is not an exisiting number:
51 54 54 50 5a 53 49 4a 57
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
HEX2ASCII: QTTPZSIJW
Rot21: LOOKUNDER
will write another email to Richard.

Ditto, that was an awesome solve AUZ!
I'm glad to see the game wasn't dying, but sorry that I complained, when it was due in part, by my ineptness.

Heading into traffic with a bit more than the first six lines done. The Runes convert to a dec/char code which after run through into ROT 13 reveals the Latin phrasing:
Quote:
nolite fieri sicet equus et mulus quibus non ust intullegentia in camo et freno maxillas eorum monstringe qei non accedund ad te
The online translator wasn't optimal yet wanted to post that I can continue to work on this during lunch in a few hours.
ETA: a few of the Runes are single straight lines. Anyone any ideas?
EDIT: @SyNeSTro: very unlikely but do not know.

The rest of the runes decode into numbers, which I think is XOR'd ciphertext. I'm still not sure how to decode any of it though, and someone might want to double check that I have all the numbers correct. I made the straight line | a zero.
Code:
38 23 11 80 38 43 118 38 0 26 69 28 78 1 6 5 30 6 84 82 8 10 0 70 79 26 0 0 20 13 11 9 65 71 68 14 30 10 26 70 76 3 10 65 78 23 20 71 66 23 19 71 16 10 89 26 18 82 13 21 17 64 0 86 48 66 17 73 29 66 69 0 14 82 29 28 80 13 0 72 31 8 25 15 10 87 78 33 85 0 14 69 16 27 80 26 66 13 4 15 0 86 27 22 21 85 22 13 88 0 45 0 9 0 0 21 22 82 16 10 6 71 78 73 19 65 21 92 0

Enaxor...it appeared that the code had altered. Maybe AUZ will have a sec? Will have time to double check mine at lunch.
