[REF] The soulcellar Since we now know that we can each ask for one request by giving our soul to splinternails, let's try to coordinate what we're going to ask for. If we work as a team, we can get a lot of good information.
I was planning to request the answer to pass through the doors of panicht. I haven't yet though, so if anyone wants to post any other ideas, let me know.
Post yours here.

Great topic! I think we need to have ONE person send off for information and see what happens. If we get enough info this time, we will need to save the other souls for another time. If it turns out to be entrance to the next Realm and you must pass your soul first, then each must go in turn and follow your suggestion.
PS- I will volunteer to go first if anyone wants me to, makes no difference to me. I'm ready to get rolling again.

ok, going to send off now. will reply with the results and see how we need to work this to our best advantage. I'll edit in when something comes back. I'm asking for access to the Keeper, as he is the only one that can trverse Realms freely, possibly helping us the entire time if we need it. Wish me luck
*EDIT*
It finally took, YAY. I'm awaiting my reply

Good idea, Glecius. Hopefully we can talk with the Keeper of Things and get perhaps even more help than from anyone else.
Another person we may want to end up asking about, once we figure this out, is Clockstop the Whys.

OK, my reply was waiting when I woke up this morning and its obvious why it took a little time to get it to me. This was the e-mail and my comments below it, cant use quotes under spoiler, but you'll see which is which.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"An usual reQu13est, as The Keeper of Things has no tongue to speak with, no eyes to see.
Nevertheless, he can be found past panicht's door:
L ost A nd F ound O ut O f O rder
You will need this: K 11E 05Y 25.
A price for a price, our business is ended.
Do not lose your tiQu13et.
-The Soulcellar"
I feel like an idiot b/c we had thought of everything hard to try, yet never figured out this simplistic approach. Using the key provided, the numbers corresponding to L A F O O O add up to 64. This is not a direct answer though. This must be some sort of anagram. I tried to ROT it and none of it made sense. Maybe someone can figure something out unscrambling the letters, I dunno, but I will be the first to admit this is useful and I'm a moron for not seeing it sooner. We REALLY have to watch ourselves here, we are being beaten by our own minds.
The ticket below also came, the binary is nothing more than my name. The letters however, I cant seem to make sense out of. I'm sure it is some type of code. The letters are "lelrcwtKoT". The odd thing about it is it was in jpg filetype attached to the e-mail. When I tried to save it so I could scan it, it would only save as bitmap, then I had to convert it. Not sure if this would have affected the properties had he placed something in it or not, but it showed clean. Now we have clues, but not the full answer.

one thing that i'd like to say about the trading of souls...
i think we should be very careful and conservative
with our soul trading. we should only do this if we have
have absolutely no other choice.
i'd hate to see us start giving up on difficult puzzles
and casually tossing out another soul just because we are
frustrated.

Labfly, I agree with you.
HOWEVER, let's keep in mind that Glecius got a personalized ticket. It may prove that we all have to send out our souls to get our own tickets to move on. We should use the souls if we need to, but keep in mind that at any moment we may have to give them up anyway.
PS: Glecius, is that Morse code on that ticket?

Glecius was this the way the jpg was named when you received it?
tiqu13et_209
Just wondering because of the Three Ten in the capitalization of RM's latest note and the 3 page names between papercutsandnosebleeds.html and undergrounderworld.html ...
Wondering if the numbers are significant...
209
349
348
159
310

No, it was TIQU13ET.jpg, just as it is now. Not sure why you are seeing 209 at the end of it
