₊˚ ✧ ━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━ ✧ ₊˚ Weeks have passed now, but there still seems to be no end to the Festival. With Basil's powers gone, everyone is trapped inside with no way to stop it. Out of the corner of your eye, you see Kiara, Clev, and Sophia walk up to you. "Thanks to your help, Basil was able to regain some of his lost memories," says Kiara with a small smile, "And he remembers that he was shopping for lavender at a stall right before he got spelled." "This brings us a step closer to finding out who the real culprit is," Clev adds. "And once we catch who spelled Basil, we can get to the very root of the dark magic." Sophia gestures out to the distance--past the bustling streets, to where the Fae's tents are. "These last few weeks, Jester, Moxie, Celeste, and Basil have been keeping an eye out for suspicious activity around the Festival, and they should be able to help us in our investigation," she says. "Yes, we'll really need the Fae's help on this one," Kiara remarks, "They've seen things we probably haven't. So don't be afraid to go up to them and ask!" ₊˚ ✧ ━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━ ✧ ₊˚ ໒꒱ Instructions Great work on completing the memory recovery challenges, and now these hint challenges will help us to further discover the culprit! There are two puzzles to solve that will give hints about who spelled Basil. ↝ Pigpen Cipher: COMPLETE by Charlie (@imaginary-dagger) Answer: Some type of business Solve the pigpen cipher by referencing from the key! This gives us one hint about the perpetrator. ↝ Maze: CLUE COMPLETE SOLVED BY Starrii (@-starrii-skies-) & Lune (@ LovegoodLady) Answer: Spaghetti First, find the path that follows into the center of the maze. Then, using the letters that appear on that line, unscramble them to form a word, which will be your second clue. (Feel free to remix and try your hand at the puzzles, especially for the maze!) ₊˚ ✧ ━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━ ✧ ₊˚ ໒꒱ Final Notes Remember to go to our fae friends' profiles ( @Jester_BiFi, @Celeste_BiFi, @Moxie_BiFi, and ) as they will be providing hints on the culprit! And don't forget to make some deals with Jester over at their tent to get even more clues! Once you receive a hint from one of the Fae, comment it here on this project so it can discussed.
