Torment

[Snowman]

Don't worry Snowman, I'm at the exact same place you are...where ive been for the past week or two...as a matter of fact where everyone is getting stuck. So if you manage to decipher that creepy girls message in blocks do us all a favor and post the answer in bright bold letters so we can get on with it already...yeesh this is worse than that time I~oh nevermind

good to hear that, ASL!!

I am currently working on a path I got from the nordinho page... they have figured this one out a day ago or two but it seems they have not yet spent much work on this, (I guess ), I believe the solution can be found here:

if you start up from www.grngecko.com you have to pass several pages (also with voynich language on it) which yields to a book. on the last page of this book there are 25 5-digit numbers. I believe that this is no coincidence, the block level contains 25 columns as well. each letter in the block lvl appears as often as the others -> the numbers in the book contain a lot of 9s and 8s and 6s: this could lead back to "e"s or "t"s in the block message.
I found a cipher method called

gronsfeld cipher

but I had no success with it yet. I also have no idea about the slugs that disturb the homogeneous letter salad.
I have also tried to translate the voynich words below the pictures at the entrance, but also without success. As the start is as difficult as the end, I believe they belong together.

maybe you all let me know what you think of this idea....

Ok I can not figure out how to decypher the text from the girl with the tape over her mouth. Any suggestions anyone?

Man folks, this riddle is just draining! Anyone else still around?

More Leads

I can give you more page's of so called dead ends, which I hate to say are unsolved as of yet, to me they have to tie in to solving this puzzle. The words at the bottom of the book page are theban alphabet the numbers are group of 5 the right size for a block cipher??

[bizarrochick]

Ok Google Earths not working for either. I think i'm going to give up on this one. Shame it was really well presented and very cool. Oh well maybe i'll try another day. Monkey i'm off to find something else. You stopping here?

Yeah I think, i'm don't i don't have that much engery. Which one you wnat to go to. I'll follow you.

MAN I can't spell to save a chicken's life today!

maybe yes, I have just tried them as key numbers for the cipher mentioned above - without success.
is there a cipher that uses 5-digit numeral input/output??

edit: to me a lot of gamers lost sight as they think of a huge, big, unsolvable cipher. the tarot and the rosary lvls just before the block lvl could be solved very easily - I simply do not believe in a jump from zero to 1000!! I believe the answer's quite easy and can be done on purple hell or rumkin

Torment

Not that I have found but the number's look like they want to be letter's except for 02847 and that one is the only one that starts with 0??



Edit: Thank-you for saying that, with the circle code we could copy and play with it but the blocks not playable I think if we could not think like what are the letters behind the ones you see It get's you lost it must be right there no turning no standing on your head something simple....LOL

[Die_amond]

just one stupid question...where you people see slugs?!
The thingo could also be some dog-excrements couldn't it?!

[Clee]

They can be whatever you want them to be I still like bunnys with ears I have seen snails, slugs, now yours but they all have a way to go which we don't

"in from the cold"

I was just wondering, if you people have seen the new link added to the "page not found hell"-site: http://www.grngecko.com/infromthecold.htm

You have the option to chose a "shadow"...which leads you to 6 different ciphers.
On the mainpage there's a box to enter the final solution!
Does this mean that, by deciphering the 6 riddles you get the final solution to the Torment-riddle or is this a different game?

Is anyone trying to decipher the "shadows" ?

[Isendre]

I'm working on In the Cold because I'm stuck on Torment. I think it may be different puzzle altogether. There is a new thread on unfiction about it and there may be one at nordinho.

[Snowman]

dragon!!

Listen: I GOt THeSe LiTTLe BLOCKS DoWn ON THEir WOODEN KNeeS

up to a dragon now!!!

as expected: the solution is quite easy and has nothing to do with ciphering the blocks - the solution is simply too obvious to give it a try - just type in what you see

maybe those damn little blocks have revived again....
seems some other tormenters have seen the dragon long before I did...

[ASL]

Snowman,
Are you talking about the ouroboros-the serpent eating its tail-around a Tetraktys (triangle symbol)?

[Snowman]

ummm_ yeah, has this already been discovered? please don't tell me that!!!

[Die_amond]

still on the blocks...

UHM.....Is that a deadend?? (read something about a snake-deadend on Nordinho.net!) *arf*

[ASL]

Reallllly hate to burst your bubble, but unless you can find a way outta that one, its back to the drawing board for you...check this to see if you notice anything we might have missed-
