We do not know what will happen to the "eliminated" patients, do we? o.o Seems hard to make a choice...

I posted the name of the book to graces' blog, maybe someone else reads it and can find out more...

Nice job, argatha & my take is that any patient still in Shady Lawn has had their fate already sealed. Sad

HTH and no worries on whomever you choose.

Light?

(Hi everyone! I'm gonna try to help out on this one, but I still have to read through everything else before I actually understand what's happening.)

Hi FuzzyG- we seem to need all the help we can get.

No answer to Lady's Conundrum yet? Thot of this while driving home. Is this one of those where you count four letters into "the eleventh creature" and rot it or sumthing? Got no time to explore it now.

ETA: Also smooth move on the "Look to the beginning".

I finally posted the answer to the Jester, it seems to be right.

Good Job with the riddle amandel! I think FuzzyGoodles answers is right.

@Booba: hm, so then finding out the book would be totally pointless?

hm, let's try anyway (not sure whether to include the "the", so i tried both):

From the eleventh creature, take the fourth letter.
From the seventeenth creature, take the third letter.
From the second creature, take the tenth letter.
From the first creature, take the third letter.
From the twenty-fourth creature, take the seventh letter.
From the forty-first creature, take the fourth and fifth letters.
From the forty-sixth creature, take the first letter.
From the sixtieth creature, take the second letter.
From the seventy-eighth creature, take the tenth letter.
From the hundredth-and-second creature, take the first letter.

So it would be EECENFOTHYT or VVARFTYFIGH. I tried ROT, but that did not make much more sense... Maybe the name of the book is like a password to decypt that?

So, a saying goes that one picture is worth 1000 words. The attached with its "visibility:hidden" is located in the source code of Lady's 17May "hint" blog update

VERY ANNOYING!

This seems to be the correct book,

but it goes by pretty fast

Anyone have a gif editor?

Never mind, not enough resolution

@therodd: thanks, but we needed the edition from 69

Lady gave us another hint, which I found much more helpful. I found the answer and already posted it in the comments Smile

(So if you want to find out for yourself first, don't look in the comments Wink

Excellent! <3 waking up to a solve & used argatha's good work to open the patient file of Christopher Silas. It reads:

Just

at the slight-of-hand. Last game we had a straight up book cipher. So when this became twisty I began looking for any 2 word, 11 lettered creatures.....

'tho all in the wrong spot. Gotta run. Cyas...

Nice going argatha!

A little late to the party, but I did find one (ta-da) on Amazon UK that matches up to that tiny gif

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Book-Imaginary-Beings-Vintage-classics/dp/0099442639

The ones on the first page do indeed spell out DREAM.

**channeling Poltergeist...They're back**

Lady questioned about Chaucer's "The Pardoner's Tale". When answered it directs us to a new blog. So here's hoping he gives us a hint with my answer: "Death".
