[SEASON 2] Stalkers RPG General Chat Thread (The Secret Clubhouse!)

You kiddin'? That's amazing! I pieced the puzzle together, but I had no clue what to do with all those crazy letters!

[Neo Emolga]

Forgot to make it last night, but here's the cypher key!



In retrospect I could have made it a bit larger...

I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting anyone to be able to do that just from that one page, but that's EXTREMELY impressive!

[Neo Emolga]

OK, I think I've solved it.

Spoiler:

Upon completion of the ZEKETH Brand, you feel an eerie, unholy aura emanating from it. You're not sure if what you've done is a good thing or a bad thing...

Item [ZEKETH Brand] has been added to the Team Inventory.

I actually took a security class a few years back and the first thing we covered was Caesar Ciphers since it was the first form of encryption. For decrypting it, it was just a process of:

• Associate each symbol with a number so I didn't have to deal with the symbols themselves
• Rewrite the text using the numbers
• Do a character frequency count for the first page

From there, due to its frequency, I was pretty sure that the U looking letter was E which I was then certain of from the fact that there was a common three letter word that ended with it, which would be THE. I was pretty sure that the two letter word that's on the first page three times was either OR or OF, and then the single letter word on page two had to either be A or I. From there it was just filling out the rest of the short/common words like AND and ONE, and the rest solved itself.

For those unsure how to use their night action, I have some suggestions. The top and bottom items are of particularly high priority, in my opinion. I'd put more time into a to-do list, but I've got some stuff to take care of. ^^'

Visit Javelin Manufacturing Plant, specifically Floor Two (location 81b).
Interview Poko the Skarmory.
Visit Macanan Textile Manufacturing, most likely Floors 21-30, possibly Floors 11-20 (locations 89c and 89b respectively). May be better to wait until Poko has been interviewed.
Find Cinci's aunt, Clementine the Sawsbuck. Cinci has not as yet offered any clues where Clementine might be, but she has stated that the police are not presently helping. Clementine may be the Pokemon trapped in the Sunspot Apartment Tower.
Open the locker in Sunspot Apartment Tower, Floors 31-40 (location 1d). There is an unconscious Pokemon trapped inside. A Pokemon with the Lockpick ability, or a Fighting-type Pokemon, may open it.

One step ahead of you, Velo. I'm already on the first one.

[Noblejanobii]

If she resists I could always lockpick her house and restrain her until she gives it up.

Madder's already made his move for the night but if @Ladybugclue or @Morzone haven't done so already they could lockpick the locker.

[Ladybugclue]

Yeah I will do that.

where's everyone getting character portraits from?

Most of us are using the Pokémon super mystery dungeon icons. If you go to the spriter's resource you can find some sneasel ones for sure.
