I'm watching you scramble, all confused. "But this one is HARD!" "But where do we even START?"
You make me laugh. Call yourselves sorcerers when you can't even identify six of the most well-known magical alphabets in the world?
Time is a-ticking, and skulduggery@harpercollins.co.uk are awaiting your responses EVER so anxiously.
I've decided that if you can't figure out where I am in the next three days, I'm going to kill one of you. Because I know who you are.
And I'm watching.
Silas
First
ReplyDeleteSECOND
ReplyDeleteOHMYGOD SECOND.
ReplyDeleteANYWAY PEOPLE.
THE FIRST AND LAST SYMBOLS ARE WRITTEN IN ENOCHIAN AND MALACHIM.
R - - , - - O
HOPE THIS HELPS
YOURS IN MAGIC
TORTURA MORAN
Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteIs this the third clue?
ReplyDeleteAre we supposed to post what we think the answer is in the comments?
ReplyDeleteThis is the third clue. We have to decipher the symbols. Two of which I have.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have a spare magic dictionary that I can borrow?
ReplyDeleteOkaaaaaaaaay so... Honestly no idea what this is.. I'm Faye by the way:)
ReplyDeleteHi Faye :3
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if the blue symbol on the end counts?
I think the second one that in the first set of 3 is an "F"
ReplyDeleteSo close to the top O.O
ReplyDeleteIt's Grace. From the forums. Skulduggery Pleasant Forums for more detail. :D
Does Silas talk with an Italian cross with crazy accent? Beacuse time is a-ticking seems pretty awesome in an Italian accent.
And please, if you have to kill someone, make it not me. :)

ReplyDeletethe third symbol looks like Pictish for "F"
ReplyDeleteyo yo my name is ...
ReplyDeletePinkish! I in pictish or something! that's what it said
ReplyDeleteSilas is really sad.
ReplyDeleteHe reminds me of Loki.
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFABI! TRY IT!
@fateful isn't it I in pictish?
ReplyDeleteI sent my answer in...
ReplyDelete(Star - lol.)
ReplyDeleteI'M SCREAMING BECAUSE I AM SO CONFUSED
ReplyDeleteSecond symbol. Soz.
ReplyDeleteHe said it was the hardest clue yet but it's only taken us an hour to decipher. Something's wrong.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah.. its pictish.
ReplyDeletewait, if it is I and the last letter is X then it might be six!
ReplyDeleteYey Fabu! Let's hope we're right!
ReplyDelete@Star OMG YOU'RE RIGHT!
I thought the first one was Celestial for 'N'
ReplyDelete*cough* im just going to concentrate on what im good at...history
ReplyDeleteI love how everyone ignores the FIRST first one...
ReplyDeleteyeah, i saw N as well but it might be something else....
ReplyDeleteWell, a bunch of other people probably beat me to it. But we'll have to see.
ReplyDeletethe dot?
ReplyDeleteThe dot-line thing.
ReplyDelete@Silente
ReplyDeleteAnd the last last one written in blue...
but is the line supposed to be there? it kinda looks like a smug..
ReplyDelete@Silente: I know I am.
ReplyDelete*nods*
Seriously, it actually makes me sad . . . :/ He acts like he's so, you know, evil and all, but really he's just attention-grabbing . . . it's probably making him smile so much to have us all scrabbling over it.
"Do you toss and turn with all the bridges you've burnt
Or do you feel proud of all the hatred you've earned"
I worked out, using lyrics from a couple of songs, that being hated can actually make people feel better, and I would imagine that Silas gets off on doing things like this because he feels like he's altered the world and that he's made a difference.
Idk. :/ I just makes me sad. I really hope he works out that there are better things in life. You know at the end of the Inheritance Cycle, when Eragon wants Galbatorix to UNDERSTAND? Yeah . . . I wish I could do magic like Eragon. :/
Also, thanks, btw, Derek/Silas. You've given me more source material on the workings of the brains of people like Silas. :)
I think maybe we have to take the letters from different alphabets!
ReplyDeleteThe 5th symbol, the X with a vertical line through it, looks like a cyrillic letter, and the one before that maybe greek?
Just my guess :3
Yeah. You people are all like "LET'S TAKE THE CLUES AND DO MATHS AND RESEARCH TO BEAT THE SERIAL KILLER!" and I'm like "LET'S TAKE THE CLUES AND ANALYSE THE SERIAL KILLER!" XD
ReplyDeletetrue....
ReplyDeleteΨ looks Grecian. I'm almost certain it's psi, but it could easily be M or P or something...?
ReplyDeleteSHERLOCKIANS
ReplyDeleteNOW'S OUR CHANCE TO PROVE OURSELVES
Yeah but analysis is fun for you star XD
ReplyDelete@Silente: Yes. XD
ReplyDeleteLike I said, I have massive motivational issues. :P
Yeah but they're awesome Stat.
ReplyDeleteThe second is called nun and having a quick look I saw someone say it was an n, the 3rd is doop speak or something and is an e so. Also I'm looking at it as 2 sets of three with the trident being the dot or something as it also means ps, but just my opinion
ReplyDeletehmm... I thought I was going to say something but I forgot
ReplyDeletefirst letter- N?
ReplyDeletesecond letter-I or E?
third letter- X, P, Ps
Forth- T or H
fifth- W
Sixth- O
Is this what we have so far?
I have the last three as T W O but which one are you counting as the first as I have the N and E but for the second and third letter?
DeleteSo how is everyone?
ReplyDeleteIm out of sorts today
ReplyDeletedamn those springer spaniels I was dealing with...*mutters*
Holly kept escaping...
@Flick YOU HAD STAR LOCKED UP?!
ReplyDeletehehe no
ReplyDeletethere was this blumin springy springer spaniel called holly
we washed her and she seemed ok...until we had to repeatedly take out scarlet, her pen-mate
She kept escaping and it took all my energy to push her back into the pen
@Silente: :)
ReplyDeleteAnd - XD
@Inky: How dare you lock me up? :P
Allright...
ReplyDeleteI guess that "6 magical alphabets" is a clue. Obviously.
So you have to take 6 alphabets to find out what it means.
Number 3 Looks like the greek PSI, Number 4 Looks like the russian ZH and number 6 could be the japanese RE. Doesn't make much sense, though...
Phew! Got worried for minute there ;P
ReplyDeleteShe want to be free!
I have NEΨTWO...
ReplyDelete@Inky: Sorry. :(
ReplyDeleteI will be a good doggy next time. :)
hehe XD
ReplyDelete@Lucifer NIXTWO
ReplyDeleteI'm still going with Fabi's theory.
ReplyDeleteNot that I've done anything . . .
#motivationalissuesthatIcan'tbebotheredfixingwhichisprobablybecauseIhavemotivationalissuesandthinkingthatIdoprobablymakesthemworsebutmeh
NIXTWO would make sense with what I've got...!
ReplyDeleteBut I'm not 100% certain if it's correct...
Maybe it's an anagram.
ReplyDelete@Lucifer NIX being zero and TWO being two...
ReplyDelete^^Yup dat's Fabi's theory.
ReplyDeleteI know. I'm a linguist, man. I'm just... There are a couple of ways this could end up, I'm just trying to be open about possibilities.
ReplyDeleteI'm also shattered.
Hmm has anyone heard of the sing 'secrets' by the pierces
ReplyDeleteI got the coordinates of a Chinese supermarket...
ReplyDeleteWhy is he in Nevada?
ReplyDeletei got Nevada!
ReplyDeleteBut I don't really know how to plug in the numbers..
ReplyDelete(Dugglyn - Area 51? Or Las Vegas. :P)
ReplyDeleteArea 51 would be...interesting
ReplyDeleteI got Nevada if the second coordinate was west, China if it was east.
ReplyDeleteThe Nevada one was middle-of-nowhere, though, so I went with the China one.
That would be really weird!
ReplyDeleteIt is located in the southern portion of Nevada in the western United States, 83 miles (134 km) north-northwest of Las Vegas. Situated at its center, on the southern shore of Groom Lake, is a large military airfield. The base's current primary purpose is publicly unknown; however, based on historical evidence, it most likely supports development and testing of experimental aircraft and weapons systems.[9] The intense secrecy surrounding the base has made it the frequent subject of conspiracy theories and a central component to unidentified flying object (UFO) folklore.[10][11] Although the base has never been declared a secret base, all research and occurrings in Area 51 are Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI).[10] In July 2013, following a FOIA request filed in 2005, the Central Intelligence Agency publicly acknowledged the existence of the base for the first time by declassifying documents detailing the history and purpose of Area 51
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's what i got Fabi but i think he might want to be in the middle of nowhere! Might be easy to hide....
ReplyDeleteBut it's easier to blend in with a crowd...
I got ri-eao? Why is everyone's so different?D:
ReplyDeletemakes a triangle then maybe try the centre..
ReplyDeleteLess people to kill in the middle of nowhere, though.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the going theory here?
ReplyDeleteI find your logic amusing.

ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteElleni, good idea but the final clue is the decimal point to -115, the second co-ordinate.
ReplyDeleteAt least that's what i though......
In two hours I can give you all a definite answer on the letters.
ReplyDeleteI go geocaching XD
ReplyDeleteTrue Fabi....
ReplyDeleteHey Viv...
ReplyDelete(If he's in the middle of nowhere he could be BURYING a body.)
ReplyDeleteI love all of our theories about why he's in the middle of no where! XD
ReplyDeleteGuys...
ReplyDelete..remember Viv is probably reporting back.
Hello everyone.
ReplyDeletehmmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeletewell i think the order it 39.04, -115.?? but you're right, we don't know what direction..
Hey Chi!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm gonna go now......
ReplyDeleteSee you!
byii fabi
ReplyDeleteBye Fabi!!!! Thanks for your help!!!!!!
ReplyDelete#tryingtobalanceononelegwhile paintingmynailsblack
ReplyDelete(If I were going to kill someone I wouldn't bury them in the middle of the street...)
ReplyDeleteHey Chi!
ReplyDelete*tacklehugs*
(Hey)
ReplyDeleteMaybe...
How would you bury some one in the middle of the street?
ReplyDelete*steps away from Viv, face hardening*
ReplyDeleteyeah.

ReplyDelete*looks at him with hard eyes*
ReplyDeleteoooh roleplay time? how entertaining
ReplyDeleteI dont understand any of this! What magical alphabets???
ReplyDelete(Wait. Is this continuing from where Erica had been knocked unconscious and such?)
ReplyDelete(Because there have been developments.)
ReplyDelete(nope, im no good at this sorta thing)
ReplyDelete(Since about 10 minutes ago. And this has nothing to do with Erica)
ReplyDeleteYou have 5 minutes to explain yourself over email Viv. Go.
ok, gtg. Bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete(@El You have no idea.)
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete(Because I was thinking that Sophia had just rang the person who could draw symbols on Erica so she couldn't use her magic anymore and yeah.)
ReplyDeletebyii Dugg
ReplyDeleteThree minutes gone.
ReplyDelete*Pounces on top of Ellie's head*
ReplyDeleteHey everyone :3
Yo Blake
ReplyDeleteBlakey kitty?
ReplyDelete*Is cuddled*
ReplyDelete*Runs a weak electric current across his skin*
Hai!
*nods and unsheathes the two daggers Viv gave her, the crown and scepter joining them on the ground*
ReplyDeleteVivilente is dead. Enjoy your time with Nadir Viv.
*walks away from him*
(Elleni - random question: what's your email?)
ReplyDelete(Yeah Inky some stuff happened and now Blake has a chibi neko form .-.)
ReplyDelete(okay)
ReplyDelete*growls a little*
wolves don't like cats
(Im resuming my half wolf half human form)
*looks at El with cold eyes*
ReplyDelete*a hard face*

He can explain anytime he wants. But its over.
He screwed up.
ReplyDelete*walks past El*
*Scampers over to Inky*
ReplyDelete*paws at her head playfully*

ReplyDeleteI mean he screwed up.
ReplyDelete*growls at the cat*
ReplyDeleteBeat. It. Cat

ReplyDelete(He's not entirely a cat, my profile picture (Thanks to Ellie) is exactly what he looks like right now (doesn't show the tail though))
ReplyDeleteGo to hell.
ReplyDelete*stalks away quicker*
*ignoring the emotional turmoil going on inside*
*sighs*
ReplyDeleteAlright, what the hell are you lot arguing over now?
(hehe okay :) in actual life, I like baka nekko yokai...probably becuaase of the anime nura rise of the yokai clan)
ReplyDelete*Ignores the warning and rolls onto his back, still pawing at her playfully*
ReplyDelete:3
*walks after her*
ReplyDeleteWait.
No.
ReplyDelete*keeps going*
*pulls at his ears*
ReplyDelete*runs after her*

*Covers his ears with his hands* >-<
ReplyDelete*Pounces at Inky, tail swishing behind him*

ReplyDelete*yawn*

*goes towards her woods*
And I said go to hell Viv.
ReplyDelete*keeps walking, ignoring his run*
You crossed a line. Now duck off.
*runs and picks up Blake*
ReplyDelete*looks at him*

ReplyDelete*crosses her arms over her chest, waiting*
ReplyDelete*Climbs on top of Chi's head and plays with her hair*
ReplyDelete:3

ReplyDeleteydjki5rrrr
ReplyDeleteWhat Inky said
ReplyDeleteVictim one of Blogland.
ReplyDeleteSilas
^.^!
ReplyDelete*walks back to their house with Blakey on her head*
(I'm so confused about the 2nd puzzle still.. I'm getting negative numbers.
I'll start the 3rd one now.)
????
ReplyDelete@Leitrim: Well, that's what you have to work out. :)
ReplyDelete(Internet, I'm reckoning.)
Viv...you realise you just signed your death ish..
ReplyDelete*Sneezes and lets out a small shock around his body as he tumbles off Chi's head*
ReplyDelete>~<
The first letter is 'R'

I did Ellie.... and I'm wondering if she's just messing with us...
ReplyDeleteThe post said in three days...
Fuck...
ReplyDeleteIt's begun.
Yeah it did say in three days...
ReplyDelete..before Viv pissed him off.
Sorry for vanishing! I'm struggling to stay awake. >_<
ReplyDeleteOh god what did he do?
ReplyDeleteGuys, did you see the link I just sent? the first letter is R. It's R in Malachim.
ReplyDelete@Mushroom: If you're tired, maybe you should sleep. :/
ReplyDelete*starts edging for the exit*.
ReplyDeleteyou'll see Sil.
Sent in my WRONG answer.
ReplyDelete'China Sorrows declined.' Isn't that like... Sorrows' job to decipher symbols??!!!
Suspicious much...
ALSO WELL DONE TO DIOY THAT SOLVED THE CO-ORDINATES AND GOT A SIGNED COPY OF THE NEW BOOK. LUCKY BASTARD X
Fuck. Viv. Shit.
ReplyDeleteEl me and Viv may share the blame...
I dedicate this page to the thrill of a good puzzle, especially when the consequences are so dire.
ReplyDeleteNah, I'm good. We have to stay up until 11pm most nights at NCS anyway, so I'm going to need to keep myself in the swing of things until next Saturday. :P
ReplyDelete011-200-001-111-001-202-120-010 100-011-100-120-202-201...
ReplyDelete202-022-001-202 212-001-201-112-202 012-211-012-112 202-022-012 200-012-001-110 201-120-110-001-201...
So uh long story short...
ReplyDelete..breaking Vivilente caused Viv to quit and now he appears to have forgotten about the three days thing...
He's after me now.
ReplyDelete*Waddles back over to Chi and pulls lightly on her dress, holding his hands up as if to say "Pike me up again :c"*
ReplyDelete(Pick*)
ReplyDeleteViv...
ReplyDeleteYou. Are. A dick.
RIP Flick.
*remembers that I'm meant to be making an effort to be here* *nods and appears* Hi. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Elleni. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope I never have to talk to you again. Enjoy spending time with your boyfriend. I'm sure you'll be happy together until you run out of use.
ReplyDelete(long white hair, sky blue eyes, average height, wears a blue dress normally - like elsa.)
ReplyDeleteAnd nvm guys, it's not R. The symbol for R has three circles and it's straight up. The one in the drawing has 2 circles and it's to the left. So I have no clue.
ReplyDeleteElsa...?
ReplyDelete*knocks on door*
Do you wanna build a snowmaaaan?
Wespentourweeksingingfrozenorbohemianrhapsodyokay
He admitted El.
ReplyDeleteAnd she isn't the only one.
I have him as being somewhere in Nevada, USA, about 3 miles south of a mountain called Dark Peak (original name there).
ReplyDelete*picks Blakey up and cuddles him*
ReplyDeleteI love you *pets him*
He's going after every bloglander.
ReplyDelete(lolLuce)
ReplyDelete*Purrs as he cuddles Chi*
ReplyDelete=^.^=
Sil?
ReplyDeletePlease.
(What do you mean describe hair? it's straight and down to the end of her back, and dress...yeah. The same as Elsa's, without the veil thing.)
ReplyDeleteIf I vanish I'm really sorry. I'm super sleepy. ;~;
ReplyDeleteWhat Viv. What lies will you spew to excuse this. What's your excuse.
ReplyDeleteToo scared not to take the easy root.
Or maybe you've been poisoned by Silas! Luciana is gonna be the next victim! D:
ReplyDelete(Sorry I poofed.)
ReplyDeleteYou know when your friends say bad things about a person, and you choose not to believe them, because you're optimistic, and you spend ages thinking positively and appreciating things about this person and looking at the situation like "well, it could be this. They could have it all wrong" and you stick up for this person against your friends and you honestly believe you've got somewhere . . . and then every single piece of evidence you find proves you friends correct and you wrong, and you just look at the situation and go "What was the fucking point?"
ReplyDelete
