1 <A9FCF122> a1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 All right, 'fess up. Who's gone and
defaced the local property?
2 <88F6CF8D> vp1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Oh, this is not OK. If I find who did this,
I'll teach them the price of this kind of
tomfoolery...
3 <238679B6> c1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Hmmm... Are we sure this is just vandalism?
4 <F91444D1> d1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 It does seem more thought out than just
a regular scribble. It kinda hits you, right?
5 <17A31351> b1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 It presents itself like some kind of
heraldry. Much too refined to be the
work of an amateur.
6 <11CE207B> e1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 There's text alongside it too, but I can't
work it out... What language could it be?
7 <86101AA5> f1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 "On high plain dusking, a ruinèd keep /
a mere step beyond, the gates of hell sleep."
8 <BD62824C> a1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Rex, you know this script?
9 <50537495> gq1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Boss, is it what I think it is?
10 <E9AA3629> f1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Yeah, it's Old Alrestian, no mistaking.
11 <9698439C> f1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 And here's the kicker: I recognize this design.
This ain't no random graffito, mark my words.
12 <7A7D2CF4> f1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to guess
that the inscription's pointing us towards a
place.
13 <FE1B9099> a1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 A place, sure, but what's there?
14 <F6FF5291> f1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Your guess is as good as mine.
But there must be something.
15 <CFC7CC54> d1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 "Something", great... Can we get anything
a little more concrete here?
16 <BDEC1E33> f1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 If you wanna know that, the graffitist
invites you to solve his or her riddle.
17 <7973A3E0> f1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I don't know who did this, or what their
game was, but it's clear they've gone to
a lot of trouble for it.
18 <86A1D28F> f1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Heh, this's got me fired up!
I, Rex, accept your challenge,
oh anonymous scribbler!
19 <0668CE7B> e1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Having fun there, Rex?
20 <E873B36B> f1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Sure am! Been a while since I've
had a good puzzle to crack.
21 <77499081> a1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Arright, run that riddle by me again?
22 <84F7F4A3> b1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I think it went,
"On high plain dusking, a ruinèd keep /
a mere step beyond, the gates of hell sleep."
23 <AC30BBBB> a1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 ...Ugh, I got nothing.
24 <F2F023B4> f1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 High plain, ruined keep, hell...
The hint's gotta be there, I reckon.
25 <0102F97A> f1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Speaking from experience, this kinda puzzle
is mainly a test of patience. Let's take our
time thinking this over.
