 		Sorry I've been away for a while... Still no progress on the puzzle? I'm sorry I can't be of more help... I'm a bit useless with these kinds of puzzles lol.

I'll update the wiki once we have this one nailed.

 		Hope this does not involve adramelechs rising: Shocked

Back to the riddle:
My second try (following the order of the letter-pairs anticlockwise: 5 3 4 1 2) wasn't right also. I've got back some strange lines including a bitmap-file.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If any of the other members of The Twelve discovers I've sent you this, I'll be banished from the cult... or worse.

Don't even mention this in your reply.

(Sorry for zipping it, but i couldn't manage to attach a bmp file)
When I saw this, i remembered chivalrous rob's idea about spelling adramelech starting by a point and going (anti-)clockwise.
Taking this idea into account, a possible solution might be as follows: the upper left point makes the AD, the lower left one makes the RA, the lower middle one takes the ME, and so on. Or has anybody sent in this solution and got back a negativ reply?

 		I got the same reply ("If any of the other members of The Twelve discovers I've sent you...") and the same bmp image. I sent the solution you are proposing here :

and I am yet to get a reply.

 		Wow! OK, so if thats the case, it looks like (logically) what you're thinking would be the right answer.

I gues theres only one way to know for sure!

 		I got that image too. And I just got an e-mail from Jake:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Hey everyone, Jake here.

I know it's been a while since you heard from me... I can't really
talk about it, but you have my word I will fill you all in as soon as
I get the time.

Just a quick line to say that Adramelech's hold over the Internet is
starting to strengthen. He's been able to take down whole sites at a
time, and I don't mean your run-of-the-mill cheap sites... Huge ones
with databases and servers that are accessed by millions of people
each day.

It won't be too long before he'll be free completely - that's why it's
imperative we do not complete the final Key.

But for now, don't worry. I have a plan. Continue along with the Keys,
don't worry. We won't finish the final one.


Jake

 		Surprised

Why am I thinking of LiveJournal...?


The PMS wouldn't go that far... would they?

Or even worse a thought... This isn't an ARG.

 		Just got an e-mail back from the twelve. Fourth key solved! (The logical answer posted above.)

Eh... Img tag isn't working. Here to see the key.
