 		So, can we consider it solved, then?

 		I thought you said you got a reply:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Adramelech sees your efforts and applauds them. He is greatly amused.

He offers his assistance, but has told us this will come to you at a
greater price later in time.

Be thankful, young Acolyte.

 		Sent them a very similar solve as Neanderthal, but arranged differently (before I saw the clue they gave), and got the same email and clue sent back. The solve I sent spelt adramalech starting from the bottom prong, going anticlockwise. I'm now gonna send a solve starting in the same place going clockwise, seeing as that would fit the clue they gave. I'm a bit concerned by the 'greater price later in time'. But, nothing ventured...

 		My initial solve was the same as yours, and I sent the same second try. I initially assumed that it would be widdershins.

Well, of course, Adramelech is a demon, yes?

The price is probably your soul or the blood of your first-born child or something similar. Twisted Evil

Meh, probably your soul. I wonder if the PMs are aware of Sable & Shuck...

 		My answer starting at the bottom point going clockwise was incorrect.

 		well, if we were to try all the combinations possible, one of them has to be right.

 		This was my second solution idea, but it was wrong

 		Re: Theban
I sent in a different solution depending on the positions of the letter-pairs :

5 3 4 1 2

So my solution looked like this (only in theban letters):



But it wasn't the right answer to the riddle.
Here is, what lead me to my solution: The position of "RA" is given by the twelve. Its the lower left point of the pentagram. Within the order of letter pairs "RA" is the last (lowest) one. So the next one in the pentagram clockwise or anticlockwise might be the first pair of letters (the upper one) - the "CH".

Since my solution wasn't the right answer I will try now the other way round (anticlockwise).

What do you think, how many tries do we have left till adramelech grows really angry with us?

 		We're supposed to send our answers to adramelechisrisingSPLATgmail.com right? I sent my first try there two days ago, but I haven't gotten a reply yet. Was I supposed to tell them I found the first three keys first? Or are they just taking their time responding?

 		Yes.you're right. We have to send the solutions to that address and you should get an answer, even if you just started with the fourth puzzle instead of the first, second or third key.

Do you probably have a spam-filter installed killing the mails the twelve want to sent to you???

What is your solution to this visual riddle?
