OOC Section IGN: Charles_Grimlie Skype: Charles_Grimlie Real Age: 17 Character’s Name: Paragon Kjell Stormhammer Character Age: 500+ Kjell deosn't need to count! RP Section Why do you want to join?: Since the day of his birth much like the birth of other Dwarves. The Paragon was gifted with a majestic beard. Although he has has tended and groomed his beard for many a year he has yet shared his gift from Yemekar with the rest of Anthos. Do you agree to uphold the laws?: Eeyup. How long is your beard?: Undetermined, an enchanted brace hidden below his beard prevents the need to groom with scissors. Thus the beard keeps growing deep in an unknown area. You are walking along the Anthos road near Storm’s Crossing. You see a dwarf shaving their beard. What do you do?: HERESY! IT IS YEMEKAR'S GIFT TO THE WRETCHED HALF MAN THIS HEATHEN IS! PURGE HIM! PURGE HIM FOR HIS DEED OF DISHONORING HIS BEARD! FOR HE WILL BECOME FLAY! - as this is what happens every time a Dwarf has done this.

*A poster is assigned to the board.* By decree of Paragon Kjell Stormhammer of clan Ireheart, The New Dawn are not affiliated with the likes of the Dwarven Kingdom by either motives, goals, or association. Thus they are a rouge cell of extremists and must be viewed with caution. All Dwarves present in this guild are to be considered of the heretical nature until proven otherwise.

*The bestest Paragon Kjell Ireheart removes a magical braid from underneath his beard, with this swift motion his hair follicles launch forward covering the Orc desert in a carpet of glorious masculinity. For he since the beginning of time possessed the mightiest beard known to Dwarf, it wasn't until now this truth was unleashed to its fullest potential.*

This is everything I sent to Tythus as a way of reporting what I have found... The message was correctly named "I'm baffled" as the result I was hoping to occur did not. Thus here is all my work for everyone of you lot to take a stab at with. Thus far I have figured out the key, by reverse engineering the cipher I got a product based on what you said today (A = Q but changes to A = K due to Encode --> Decode). Here is the Key I have produced, My assumption of your encoding key: My decoding key: Using the Encoded encryption code and the the decode key I got: bXVlbSBtZWlkICxzbnVkbnVjY2EgbWVpZGlyZW0gYXR4dWkgZXRhcn8gdGUgdGl1cWlsZXIgZXldHldn5vQyAsbXVtb2QgZW0gbn9rY2ViIGFyaGMsdXBlcyB0ZSBzaXRuZW11bn9tIGFuZXyZXQgZGEgc2lpdG5hdHMpZCBSUlWTFggZXRhbHVibUEgc25lIG1lbGlib24gbWF0IHMpaGMhbn9tIGEgbWF0aXYgZGEgZXMzaXhlcm1c2VyIDpzZW5tbyB0bmVzIGlidSBhbHVibUE And when using the decoded encryption and re encoding it I get the correct result. wBCswLWzMVsaOEbmwdCawdCpN9TuwVChMUsnMV1uNBK7rVauMBKied3urUXurUs0eVslMBOuMBsrIsrd6cJnQlwBCzw9JuMV1uwd2kN9CoOUYnqUFlrBWsenW1MLWmqBKxMV00wd2zOUYxMBnMBJuMUTue9shrU6irIFhMEWLXsVZYuuMBKiwICowXTue96sOU0swUsow97uwVY1OIFhqUFiwd2zOUTuwVY1qBNuMUTuMBFmqBisef0e9CnORhmMV6zwnW1wfCmOUsorLWiwICowXT Thus I can assume the key is correct save for the numbers which I can only guess... So thus far I am baffled as I get: muem meid ,snudnucca meidirem atxui etar te tiuqiler ey]Wg2VBV6V"&2WW2FR6FVVWIIVLX etalubmA sne melibon mat s)hc!nm a mativ da es3ixerm\\[[\XH[XP When Decoding with base64. I can only assume this is a partially correct portion of the next step.

Not solved, the first portion has been but there is another portion after the Ascii part... Which is the parchment. On a side note currently I have a general understanding of what the parchment is up to but after working it for 3 hours with TheNander I've hit a wall. The important part is the key, you just have to make sure you look at it carefully!

*Claps* Now we can make paper currency!

The Great Dwarven Printing Press A brilliant invention thought up, like many Dwarven inventions, with two engineers sitting around thinking up ideas for inventions that will make them money. "Wut 'bout pressin' melons an' makin' woine loike dey duh wi'f pumpkins?", suggests Dominic, a Dwarven Engineer. "Dat wuld nevah be very strong. Dat wuld be very watery!", says Nalro Grayhammer, one of the few other engineers in the kingdom. "Now, wut if ye used da w'eat press tuh flatten iron bars intuh unsharpened swoard blades.", Dominic suggests. "Hmm... possible but Ah fink dat da blades wuld be ov low quality an' few Dwarves even use swoards! We wuldnae make much mina ov doin' dat.", said Nalro, "But wut if we pressed wurds ontuh paper loike a stamp but w'ole page of wurds." "Dat's a bit ov a leap between ideas me finks Nalro, but Ah loike it. 'Ow wuld it wurk?", asked Dominic "Well, jus' loike stamps we can make a stamp dat be loike a page ov a buk an' stampin' dat ontuh a piece ov paper.", explained Nalro. "We can use dis press fer a ton ov fin's", said Dominic. "Aye, we culd make copies ov buuks moar quickly an' sell dem. We culd 'ave stories written an' we can make 'em quickly an' easily.", said Dom. "Aye, well, let's try modifying da press.", said Nalro as the two dwarves stood up and walked towards the engineering hall to begin work. "Roig'ty, first we need ta carve a page ov wurds intuh dis block ov stuune--", said Dom as he held up a square block of smooth stone. "den carve da runes backwards, remember dat be 'ow stamps wurk." said Nalro as he readied a large jar of ink. An empty silence fills the hall only broken by the chiseling of stone as Dom carved the runes into the stone. Dom look up at the press after he was done and wondered how he was going to attach the stone to the press. "Nalro, 'ow are we goin' ta attach dis tuh da press?" "Me finks ye knew 'ow ya were goin' ta duh dat" said Nalro. "Me finks ye wuld know. We cannae use sloime 'cause it culd be stuck on d'ere almost permanently.", said Dom as he inspects the press. "Wait, we culd carve notches intuh da soides ov de stone an' clap it tuh da press", said Nalro. "Dat moight wurk", said Dom as he walked over to the anvil and forges out two iron clamps. He then walks over to Dom and takes the stone which he then coats it in ink, scraping the excess off, and clapping the stone to the press. He then pulls out a piece of paper out of his pocket and placing it under the press before pulling the lever. As the press rose up the paper was printed with a perfect copy of the runes on the page. The two dwarfs look at eachother and yell with joy. They then ran to the tavern to have a pint to celebrate their success. And so the dwarven printing press was born. This device signaled the return of the dwarven engineers as a creative force once again. This allow dwarves to quickly reproduce any type of written material.
