Episode 5

Physical Contents

Cameron's Design

  • The bottom of the page has a key for a book cipher which we will use in conjunction with the cut out book page.

Chester's Expanded Kingdom Map

  • The pattern in blue marker appears to be similar to that of the ten-sided die.

Cut Out Book Page

  • We can solve a book cipher in this document using the key at the bottom of Cameron's design.
  • The first number refers to the line and the second number refers to the word in that line.
  • Once deciphered, the message reads:

    • "FOLLOW THE TRAIL OF SIR EREC TO ENTER THE KINGDOM"
  • Eric starts out at the castle, then goes to the woods, Pirate Cove, and then the cave.

D10

  • Use this die to map out the numbers in Chester's pattern on the expanded kingdom map.

Excalibur Forging Plans

  • The inscription was written down the length of the blade but then crossed out.

    • Wonder if there's a reason for that.
  • The three symbols drawn with arrows underneath must be key to some sort of code in another area…

Letter from Art

  • Shit's getting serious now. "The Green Knight" tried to break into Art's personal home.

    • I wonder why they wanted to get in her car first though…
  • Apparently, there's a VIP area in the faire, and Art wants our assistance in breaking in.

News Station Offer

  • The word "Regicide" is underlined with a right arrow.

    • This is the key to the code at the bottom of the paper.
  • Use the same method as before by locating the letters of "REGICIDE" and noting the letter to the right.

  • Once deciphered, the message reads:

    • "TAKE IT. REMEMBER I HELPED YOU WITH YOUR BEAU."
