Stalkers RPG General Chat Thread (Emissary Clubhouse)

[Lychee]

I spent several hours on this, but cracked it into something legible.

Coded message.jpg
EDIT: In case you don't want to click, the message is

"O CURSED ARTICLE OF EVIL
I STRIP ANY INFLUENCE
AND ABOLISH ALL CORRUPTION
YOUR DEMISE IS NOW"

Vex gave this to Nicklefool, at Jeek and Zundy, smirking somewhat when he mentioned that her house had been cleansed when it hadn't.

The code strip to help fill in with letters which I used to crack the message; "Strange Code Key", was found beside Lillians cage during the rescue from Gravemeld, near the library. This happened BEFORE Vex gave Nicklefool the coded note.

Is gravemeld trying to crack a code, or are they the one who wrote the code? Where did Vex get the note with the message on it? Is it just a joke message, or does someone else in town use these words for a real cleansing ritual?
