Solve the puzzle on the surface first, then look deeper. Questions on either level should be discussed here.

Yeah,

SPOILER: Click to show

it's amazing how much it helped.

Though I'm almost afraid to do anything for fear of damaging my copy in a way that might make further puzzling impossible.

Most of us photocopy them, or scan and print them.

Alas, I have found

I haven't cracked the words on the map yet... But maybe this will show more as we dig into a few other seemingly innocuous pieces

Wow. Depending on how we are to take its meaning, or who it is addressed to... that's not comforting.

Not comforting at all. Although, I found the Cirator's letter to be quite foreboding. Perhaps the meta-plot thickens?

As for the maze, keeping with the C theme:

It occurs to me there is a famous maze on the island Crete. I feel I am grasping at straws though

Todd: I applied for a job and they asked if I had a police record. I said "what does my taste in music have to do with anything?" Sept 1, 2020 18:24:51 GMT -5

diggitydoodog: I've had dubious documents for 2 years now and finally went to work on it. Would anyone on here be willing to PM me the answer or post it in a spoiler so I can check the solution? Sept 17, 2020 11:44:39 GMT -5
