[VampiresDontSparkle]

Well played, Escapist, well played. That was certainly a great puzzle. Good luck to everyone!

 

[Chrmike]

Yes, that would not be in the spirit of the puzzle quest.

ThyNameIsMud, out of curiosity, are you guys planning on posting the answers/a walkthrough to this after it's over? Because I may be shooting myself in the foot here, but I don't think you should. >
