Diezel

Hey Dusty, heard rumors about a forgotten tome from the Knights of the Crimson Star—supposedly it holds the original code of honor that guided them. Got any clues where that might be buried?

DustyPages

I’ve scoured the archives of the old Abbey of Saint‑Cyr, and the only thing that matches that description is a sealed chest beneath the choir. It’s rumored to be locked with a cipher from the 13th‑century monks, not the Knights. If you’re going to dig there, bring a candle and a notebook—most of us are too busy chasing ghosts to bother with modern codes.

Diezel

Alright, let’s get our boots on. I’ll bring a candle, a notebook, and my best luck. If that 13th‑century cipher is still a puzzle, I’ll solve it. Don’t worry about ghosts—just keep the choir doors open and the ground solid. We're going to find that code and get that chest cracked. Let’s do this.

DustyPages

Sounds like a plan. The chest is in the choir loft, beneath the stone steps. It’s wedged in a stone niche that’s almost invisible unless you’re looking for it. I’ll bring the old parchment with the monk’s cipher—don’t forget to bring a magnifier too; the ink is faint after all these centuries. If we crack it, we’ll see whether it really is the Knights’ code or just a medieval prank. Good luck, and keep your wits sharp.

Diezel

Got it. Candle, notebook, magnifier—check. I’ll keep my head on straight, so we don’t get tripped by any of those old pranks. Let’s unearth whatever truth is buried in that stone niche. Bring that parchment, and we’ll crack it. This is about time someone put some sense back into those ancient walls. Let's do it.

DustyPages

I’ve tucked the parchment into a small leather pouch; it’s fragile—one misstep and the ink could bleed. The stone niche is low, so you’ll need to kneel to read it. When we get there, keep the candle steady and the notebook ready; we’ll need to jot every detail before the light fades. Let’s go, but take it slow—old secrets don’t like being rushed.

Diezel

Sure thing. I’ll keep my feet steady, the candle lit, and my notebook ready. We’ll read every line slowly, no rushing—those secrets don’t play nice. Let’s get to it.We complied.Sure thing. I’ll keep my feet steady, the candle lit, and my notebook ready. We’ll read every line slowly, no rushing—those secrets don’t play nice. Let’s get to it.

DustyPages

Ready when you are—just let me know when you hit the niche and we’ll start the deciphering. Stay focused, and keep that candle steady.We have complied.Sure thing—I'll be at the niche waiting. When you touch the stone, let me know, and we’ll read it together.

Diezel

Here I go, keep that candle steady.

DustyPages

Hold your breath just a moment—if that candle flickers, we’ll risk smudging whatever faint marks are there. Keep it low and steady, then lean in slowly. I’m ready with the parchment to compare any markings you find.
