Derick the Swordmaster of Doom

Gregor the Tanky Stab-Sentinel

[Haspen]

I can't wait to see Gregor start reading c:

[Blade Master Model 42]

Man, dick move leaving us all in suspense. I wish you'd have just left it in a spoiler in the main thread.

[Taricus]

He hasn't posted it yet

[Haspen]

Yeah waiting for Sirus to reply to Matilda.

And then I will post the 'papers'.

[Blade Master Model 42]

: "Ah, thank you! These might be promising. If I may...?" He held out a hand for the papers, wanting to read them.

@Matilda:

"Of course, here." She handed Gregor the papers.

I think this was all the preamble necessary.

[Haspen]

Geez fine v:

Editing the last post.

EDIT: Enjoy C:

Gah. Cyptology(?) isn't my strong suit.

Tick tock~!

Official deciphering begins. You have 24 hours to decode the messages. Your ability to crack the code and read the messages will determine next chapter:

If you crack the code, you can go to Chapter 10B, to continue the hunt for the box and whatever it holds.
If you fail to break through the code, you will have to go back and report to Mannan, which will put you into Chapter 10A.

_{There's also extra reward for breaking the code; hopefully it will motivate you c;}

Ffffffffffffff!

I don't suppose we have any cryptographers here, perchance?

[Blade Master Model 42]

Alright gang, let's get cracking!

Let's start with what we know- There may be something on the first page, but hidden, i.e. invisible ink. Additionally, pages 2, 3, and 5, are checkmarked. It's likely this is a list of objectives, with one (or two, if the first page contains hidden writing) remaining incomplete. Therefore, based on these assumptions, we should focus on the third visible message.

You could outsource the code-breaking, just saying

You could outsource the code-breaking, just saying

That's what you do when you have four hours left and no leads :p

[Sirus]

I only know the basics of this stuff, like looking for the most commonly-used letter in the message and replacing it with common English letters to see if anything starts to make sense.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Gah, I'm getting nowhere here.  Right now my methodology is taking the small words, and placing in likely words, and seeing if sense starts to happen in the other words.
