For those who may not have seen it yet, Sir Galavant sent his friends a message asking us to decipher this message (his line breaks):

I have it mostly deciphered but am stuck on one point:

I noticed a pattern of Chinese and Western astrology terms and began breaking the message up that way, which got me: you are _______ your place among the pages of larphard. The letters I have are itiatefd, which means nothing. I even tried duplicating the e because of the inexplicable addition of a number to the cipher but that didn't circumvent the fact that I know of no English word that ends in fd.
What have I done wrong/overlooked???

I would break up the lines and correct this bit for you:

INU NEZUMI INU TAURUS INU AQUARIUS TIGER EHECATL 2 = initiate2
FIR INU NEZUMI DOG = find

I was afraid for Galavant, too, Tephi, but it seems we were focused on the wrong person. I received this email from Earl:
Quote:
Randy-- I mean Jefferson never came home since the other night. Galavant just sent me this text message but I don't know what it means. I'm worried.
489272872773634357.
Any ideas???

6: mno

9: wxyz

It says:

Ooooo - that was a good one. Good job, Tephi! So, from the videos and Galavant's message, I'm thinking Randy was the first initiate of the secret society and Galavant was the second initiate. Does that seem right?

I am In. Although late.
Being a fervent LARPer myself I find this quite hilarious at times.

Thanks Tephi.
I am trying a more... desperate approach to get into their "trusted" zone. Maybe they will pity my lack of ego. I hope I don't scare any of the founders away from me though.

I was bored today and I found this at Larp Hard, is the same message they send to Galavant... doesn't seem important but I wanted to share my discovery...
Of course I tried with another numbers but there's nothing...
