Episode 3

Physical Contents

Internal Tournament Pitch

  • There is a coded message at the bottom.
  • This is the same type of puzzle that was used in the annotated outline on Michelle Gray's website in Episode 1.
  • This time, the keyword is "KNIGHT" (The Knight is the Key).
  • Using the same method as before, the decoded message reads:

    • "KEPT YOUR SECRET WITH CAM"

Inventory Log

  • Chester noted the "Green Knight" costume missing when the police went through the fairgrounds.

    • It consisted of 8 pieces.
  • Chester noted the "King Arthur" costume had been taken into police custody.

  • Chester noted the "Lancelot" costume was missing the helm piece when the police went through the fairgrounds.


Jester Jokes

  • These jokes are dreadful…
  • At the bottom of the back page appears to be an odd code of some sort.
  • The skull diagram at the bottom of the urgent care receipt is used to solve this puzzle.

    • The letters match up to the lines on the circles.
    • From the top, work clockwise.
  • Once deciphered, the message reads:

    • "I OESTL ETH EHLM. OCERV ORF EM, CMA, NAD ILL OCERV ORF OUY.
  • Unscramble the letters to get:

    • "I STOLE THE HELM. COVER FOR ME, CAM, AND I'LL COVER FOR YOU."

Letter from Art

  • Art has now enlisted the help of Morgan, whom we were able to clear as a suspect in Episode 2.

Magic Show Flyer

  • Vivian and Morgan's magic show will be every other hour:

    • 11 AM, 1 PM, 3 PM, 5 PM, 7 PM.
  • Art says they didn't even get approval to do it.


Skull Ring

  • The inner part of this ring is detachable and contains a small compartment.

    • Perhaps for storing a poisonous powder of some sort?

Song Lyrics and Set List

  • This song sucks.
  • At the bottom of the last page is a key for the messages hidden within the music bars.
  • Once decoded, the music notes translate to:

    • 7 21 9 14 5 22 5 18 5 / 25 15 21 18 / 11 14 9 7 8 20
    • 9 19 / 8 5 18 5 / 23 1 9 20 9 14 7
    • 9 / 12 15 22 5 / 25 15 21 / 9 / 12 15 22 5
    • 25 15 21 / 9 / 12 15 22 5 / 25 15 21
  • This is an A1Z26 cipher.

  • Once decoded, the messages read:

    • GUINEVERE YOUR KNIGHT
    • IS HERE WAITING
    • I LOVE YOU I LOVE
    • YOU I LOVE YOU
  • So is Cameron secretly in love with Lynn?


Tournament Flyer

  • This flyer gives us the times of the faire as well as when a "sneak preview" is available beforehand.
  • In the fine print: "Attendees accept all risks involved with participation in fairgrounds."

    • So they take no liability whatsoever for people's safety.

Urgent Care Receipt

  • This is an explanation of benefits for Danny.

    • The time of the visit was 1:03 AM.
  • It says he's allergic to latex.

    • This means he took the "Lancelot" helmet and had an allergic reaction, as it contained latex.
  • There is a skull diagram with the alphabet placement similar to the lines on the circles on the jester's jokes.

    • This is the key to solving that puzzle.

RENFAIRE

  • Password: QUEEN

 

RENFAIRE → Costume Analysis

  • Art found this to be gray and green and contain wood blend and polyurethane.
  • This matches the description of the costumes for the "Green Knight" and "Lancelot" listed in the inventory log.

 

RENFAIRE → Incident Reports

  • So many injuries… No wonder they don't claim liability…
  • The authorities were involved in only one incident: Liam "Quibs" Reeves. A lance failed to break in a jousting match resulting in his hand being pinned and fractured.

    • This and the Good Fences post of Cameron having issues with his helmet allude to someone tampering with faire equipment.
