Derick the Swordmaster of Doom

Gregor the Tanky Stab-Sentinel

...is it cheating to use an unscrambling app?

[SeriousConcentrate]

You'll probably be fine once FFS shows up. This is the sort of thing he's doing in Warrens... sort of... so he could probably figure it out or ransom an update there unless someone figures it out.

As for Chris, I would need some OOC help from Haspen because this sort of thing? Not my strong point. >.>

Up to you, I made this mostly so you can have something different and infuriatingtriguing for once instead of just going 'talk -> walk -> fight -> repeat'

I have this odd feeling it's going to be one of those Journey to the Center of the Earth puzzles.

I have no idea what you mean.

Anyway, a short bit of research on my end tells me what we're likely looking at is simple replacement cipher puzzles. Hopefully, Hasp didn't make separate keys for each line. :I

[freeformschooler]

I already ran a few lines through ceasarian, so that's one out.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Should I look for a web-decoder then?

Done. Managed to get a few words from it. Making good progress on finding the rest from them. Will post when I get home.

Nevermind, found something. It, uh... garbles some stuff, but mostly gives actual phrases, except for the second line.

This is what I used.

Bit of checking, they all use the same code. You can tell because on the last message there is an "'d" there, which is most likely "S". With BMM's decoded message, you can confirm this.

None of it sounds very good. Apparently, they hooked up with a group in Fezzan, and a group of mages from a Count is going to unseal a thing for them. Or at least, they were going to.

Gregor must be quite a crypto-head if you're going to relate the answer ICly via him

The in-character part is going to be the most difficult.

Yeah, it'll probably be up to the sages or... Where's Chris when you need him?

[Haspen]

Well anyways you still have 22h40m left
