So I sent in 1, and got the reply

"Millennia ago an ancient rose.."

Consecutive words from each statement seems to be the thing.
I'm at work at the moment, or I'd reorder the lot.

Ok, here is the story re-ordered. I've checked it fairly well I think but could still have made typo's so please say if you spot something!

[Billy Brown]

Ooh, I like the look of this one. I'm in. I've checked your working there, SteamPunkV, and it all looks correct from here. I think it would be worth trying to fill in the blanks and sending the result to the Master. I'll have a bash now and post my attempt here.

EDIT: Actually, there is a very small thing to change in your transcription - there should be a comma after 'power' at the beginning of line 9. It seems trivial but it affects how we identify the missing word on line 8.

Anyway, here's my attempt at identifying the missing words. I'll put it into the correct format and email it over to see if I'm anywhere close.

1. evil
2. to
3. In
4. twelve
5. to
6. within
7. lead
8. warlock,
9. the
10. it,
11. The
12. one
13. to
14. used
15. travel
16. of
17. 12
18. science
19. identity,
20. Earth.
21. nobody
22. channel
23. the
24. once
25. for
26. those
27. the
28. on
29. to
30. 'The
31. clues
32. each
33. date
34. attempt
35. stop
36. unless
37. until

Which would make:

evil to In twelve to within lead warlock, the it, The one to used travel of 12 science identity, Earth. nobody channel the once for those the on to 'The clues each date attempt stop unless until

I shot off a quick e-mail to the Servant:

[Billy Brown]

Oops, sorry - I edited my post above before realising you had replied. It seems we do indeed need to guess the missing words following this email exchange:

New tweet:

[Billy Brown]

I've had a couple of emails back and forth, in one of which I apologised for getting carried away and thanked him for his encouragement. I said I would try and approach the puzzle from a different angle. His reply:

[mrshomersimpson]

Suggests to me that someone has already asked for number 12 and not posted the reply.

Perhaps they do not use the forum or perhaps they are unable to post at present.

WTG steam on the work you put in.

I just played catch up there....

It seems we need to find the original number 12. Which if they choose not to post here seems that we cant really do anything about it...

11, 12, 13 could rather than being a date also be the sentences they want us to focus on.

Will edit this if i find anything more, Literally just in the door.

thought also i might just throw it out there in a tweet and directly ask who number 12 is. Worth a shot.
I can't place my finger on it right this second but it does seem as if we are missing something.

The reply was

[SteamPunkV]

And the tweeted reply confirms your suspicions mrs:

It looks to me like it could be Elethamei going by this post:
