 		i got a new email from unholy

Quote:
dear child,

do I sense frustration in your words? a trait so unbecoming of a future member of the unholy court but so common with the mortal race..
you know, patience is a virtue, and in the unholy court we have all the time in the world and beyond.


You wish not to join in the ultimate purification, so you have chosen the long path to purity
This means that you would need to purify yourself mentally, physically and spirit wise

and of course the final test

would you be up for this? and better yet, would you be able to stay pure for the cause?

and in return, I ask you just a simple thing, information, information about the summer court.
you say you are not loyal, so prove it with something we might not know...
the more the better..



now what should i leak to them, anyone got an email for the summer court so i can tell them how im doing ? im sure one is on here somewhere but for the life of me i cant find it

 		It's theguardtrialsSPLATmail.com.

Now the Unholy Court is onto me too.
Quote:
so azalea..

you want to trade yourself for one of the other teinds...
before we accept, please tell me, what are your motives behind this move?
is this on your own accord? or is the summer court setting you up to do this..
are you one of the chosen ones?


Dammit, it was going so well Laughing First I thought to ramble something about saving others, but now I think I'm gonna take a different route.

 		Ah, sorry, was away all yesterday. Received this email then:

The first step is taken,
the lines have been bent
the door has been opened
you found what it meant

a break in occurred
in our court so great,
the tales have been shattered
in terrible state

your work is set out
to catalog the words
the order correct
no fluttring like birds

all have their index
precarious and true
grimm and the ballads
never been so blue

with tales found and firm
take value of those
one after the other
none to dispose

from values to words
be tedious with that
because any errors
are not to be had

use your alphabet
you know it so well
with alpha the first
its just like a spell

one number remains
to make sure its good
square three and ten fives in
its just as it should

the key is just known
given before
omit the obvious
and check out the lore

the task should be clear
so just get it done
you stand not alone
so no need to run

just as before
take this piece by piece
patience is virtue
it will go like a breeze

Drust

So it looks as though we need the number associated with each tale that Grim so lovingly discovered.

Phlox is karentilt on Twitter, not sure if she ever had an UnForum's account. She was recruited to be a new Royal Guard.

 		as for the list, should we begin by shifting the numbers and getting a word?

we also have to figure out

one number remains
to make sure its good
square three and ten fives in
its just as it should

the key is just known
given before
omit the obvious
and check out the lore

these lines

Turning the values to words. I've been messing with various types of codes all day trying to see if it's a standard code type like Hex or ASCII. The only thing I haven't tried yet is adding the numbers together to get another number and seeing if that's it.

But honestly after hours messing with it I'm brain dead atm LOL

 		This is a shot in the dark but taking this part literally:

if you count all the fives, the 10th five happens to be in the 3 set and it gives you:

idk if that even helps though, running on no sleep blah.

So we first need to change the letters into the alphabet. The second stanza makes me think that we just need to attribute the regular alphabet letters to each number, and from doing that I got

for the first line for anyone to play around with in case that's the path we need to go down first. I haven't had any luck so far, however.
I also tried it with the Ogham alphabet and got

 		Well I got Far Dorcha to agree to do a trade for trade on questions.

I ask a question they get a question.

Not that I'm sure what the heck to ask LOL

 		I know it's been a few days, but I came back to see what you guys were up to! Never did get a response from the Summer Court, but oh well...

I checked the blogs for new stuff out of curiosity and noticed that you guys missed this: http://sevenperyear.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/found.html

Quote:
found

They thought they fooled us..

They thought they hid him well

But with information received, we tracked him down
we know his whereabouts now, nothing can stop us

We will get him back, and the queen will have her knight returned


Did the Unholy Court find Tam Lin somehow? Or did I miss something?

I'm poking around some other games, so I'll keep checking back. I may not be a Guard, but this game is too intriguing to resist. I'm a sucker for this type of mythology...
