    Evening all. Slightly delicate today and not entirely sure my brain is up to this one. See you've been busy decoding. I did manage to Google the Greek think but someone beat me to it.

    Answer to the Greek thing is clearly

    Jim Moriarty – Every fairy tale needs a good old-fashioned villain.

    Clue: MORSCCXLV

    Ok...so MORS means Death in Latin and CCXLV is 245

    Death 245? Mean anything to anyone. Is this connected to a particular fairy tale?

    I'm not familiar with the source material so if it is, I'm gonna be a bystander whilst the fans of the show put on their sleuthing hats :(

    While the answer to one is based on source material, it's capable to solve without knowing what the answer means.

    I'm confused here, so people have already solved one? Would something not have happened if people had guessed it correctly already.

    The answer hasn't been posted, directly.

    These are a handy little test tbh. See which villagers are working towards a very clear, benefical Day 0 reward.

    Test? Ugh... I'm gonna have to study now, aren't I? :(

    So far I count about 3 doing what you said :p

    Rest either haven't checked in or want to have a bit of fun for now (I'm the latter btw, and make no apologies for it, it's Sunday, I'm hungover and loads have yet to post)

    But would baddies not try to appear like they are working towards it? Also why not post the answer directly, is that not how we get our reward?


    If someone has worked out the answer but not posted it I would find that more suspicious but I'm fairly certain ive missed something hence me being obtuse

    Hey folks. Liam checking in.
    Been thinking on the Belshazzar clue. I don't think it's a Caesar cipher as I've tried that out and it's just giving me gobbildigook. Looking into Belshazzar's Feast there's a few options on Google.
    Belshazzar's Feast are a 2 man band from England. Both of their first names is Paul.
    It's also a cantata by William Walton.
    Rembrant has a painting of the feast.

    None of these give anything useable though when using the method suggested by someone above:
    Using PAUL as the key we get MYSJYBMS
    Using WALTON as the key we get JYRHYOJR
    Using REMBANDT as the key we get KYSIYAKS
    (assuming that I'm doing it right of course).

    I also tried BELSHAZR too and it also gave me nonsense so that seems to be a dead end. Anyone else any good at ciphers?

    Death for whoever has post 245? Immunity from death for post 245??

    Wonder do the wolves know the answers to their abilities or do they need to decipher the clues (here, or in backroom??) in order to know how to use their powers?

    Right, in a bid to focus the village on the other two....
    Eurus Holmes – There's an east wind coming…

    Clue: The key is Belshazzar's feast...

    OYTMYEOT

    Right.

    Belshazzar's Feast, according to Wiki, is the story of "The writing on the wall".

    As per our crime scene....
    John and Mary are left to help D.I Lestrade and Scotland Yard as unexplained murders start to appear across London, Each murder scene has yellow graffiti sprayed on the walls with all of them showing the same thing sprayed “αδειάζω”. Molly Hooper is on overtime where she has found a letter burned into each corpse’s left eyelid that spells “Did you Miss Me?” except for the 3rd corpse which had had both eyelids burned into and a black phone with red lipstick marks on the screen password locked was found in their possession. The phone had a small folded paper message under the leather cover which read “13-1-18-11-19-1-18-5-23-15-18-4-19”

    There's literally writing on the wall.

    "αδειάζω"

    Google Tran.....I mean, my keen understanding of the Greek Language....translates that as the word "Empty".

    Using Clodagh's idea of a Keyword cipher, that leaves us with....
    A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
    E M P T Y A B C D F G H I J K L N O Q R S U V W X Z

    Liam,
    Belshazzar's feast, or the story of the writing on the wall tells how Belshazzar holds a great feast and drinks from the vessels that had been looted in the destruction of the First Temple. A hand appears and writes on the wall. The terrified Belshazzar calls for his wise men, but they are unable to read the writing. Wikipedia

    In the OP, something is wrote on the walls in grafiti.
    Somebody else figured out what that means.

    Try that word instead.
