 		Got an email from Drust. Gonna attach the screen shot because there's a lot of stuff. I already looked separately all the italic, bold and underlined letters, but can't get anything out of them. It's getting so frustrating to not solve anything Laughing

ETA: Reading your emails I'm getting the feeling that you have to sacrifice us. But I don't how that would work if we're already been volunteered. We could try Smile

But have you guys been officially volunteered to them? The Summer Court has basically volunteered you guys but I don't think the Winter Court knows anything about this substitution idea.

 		So I sent this response, hopefully we'll find out what they want soon Wink

What kind of proof would you require?

This sacrifice you mentioned? Thought you had your hands full with the chosen as it where.

As to the betrayal of summer... well I'll make it easy on you.

Nothing I can say would change your mind. Only actions.

What do you want?

Well, I don't know anything about the other sacrifices, but I've been in contact to Winter Court for awhile now and trying to convince them to use me as a replacement sacrifice. They just think that I'm impure and that's why they wouldn't accept me. I asked what it takes to become pure and now they're at least thinking about accepting me.

Thank you Tenshi! You were actually missing a few letters, but the message is clear

 		Well I took a risk with my last email.
Offering to play the double agent for them. They wanted to know why to trust me, so I offered to "share" plans LOL

This could prove quite interesting.[/quote]

 		Margret translated the ogham text
Quote:
A raven, which ate of a dead and poisoned horse.

which is a quote from The Riddle by Brothers Grimm (translated by Margaret Taylor, what do you know Smile ). I guess buissoinaiche means poisoned.

Quote:

So I'm guessing the pieces we each got emailed?

 		There is a new post to the Guard Trials: The Riddle, which came from Margret's Twitter and cannot be found on the main page.

 		This arg makes me feel so stupid Laughing Bellman tried to hint toward the url before and then Margret had to just give it to us.
The poem finally makes sense.

Quote:
language makes sense
in whatever form
when read in succesion
and to the norm

stripes form to curves
curves form to more
take all things literaly
and you will learn lore

use mortal wits
and all falls in place
its been told before
his tales are just ace

When found what you need
in times of despair
think well where you go
earth, water or air

then using the link
been given before
add your results
and open the door

your code is the same
you will guess it well
a codephrase you gain
and continue you shall..

Obviously it first talks about solving the ogham then connecting the quote to the Grimm's tale ("using mortal wits" = Google? Smile ). The link that's been given before was the blog and adding /theriddle in the url "opens the door".
And while writing this I just got the password! I'm so stupid! Why didn't I get it right in the first place, Gah! Laughing

 		Just for those who didn't figure it out by Elethamei's post

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the password is "theriddle"


ETA:

So I was reading over the post and discovered something.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The lines are from different tales. In order so far:
The Bonny Birdy
The Carnal and the Crane
Foundling Bird
Hansel and Gretel
The Brave Little Tailor
The Battle of Otterburn
The Bonny Birdy
The Fisherman and his Wife


Unfortunately I don't have time to poke at it more, not right now anyways, but hopefully it points someone in the right direction!

 		what i'm getting from the post...

the thing Tenshi pointed out.

we should start by taking the numbers of the things and going with that?

also possibly ask margret about the tales.

or take the list and send it in to Drust.
