Hey Foghelm, I found a weird sequence in the old clock tower’s markings. Could it be a code? I'd love to decode it with you.

Sure, but keep your eyes steady. What does the sequence look like?

It’s a run of eight digits that look like a hex code, but the first three repeat: 3E7, 3E7, 3E7. I’m not sure what that means yet.

It’s oddly precise—three identical blocks of the same three hex digits. In a tower it could be a key, a marker, or just a decorative rhythm. Maybe the repetition isn’t a mistake, but a reminder that whatever this is, it’s meant to be read the same way each time. Think about what those digits might point to when you strip them of their surface.

The pattern feels like a loop, a cycle that refuses to break. Maybe it’s a time‑stamp for each hour on the tower—three equal beats that keep the clock’s heart beating. Or perhaps it’s a clue that the same code opens every lock on the same wall, just like the tower’s walls echo the same sound. Either way, the digits are the same, so whatever they unlock will do so repeatedly.

Sounds like the tower is trying to tell you the same thing over and over—either to make you notice the pattern or to hint that whatever it opens resets with each cycle. In clocks, repetition is a feature, not a flaw. Keep your eyes on the motion, not just the numbers.

You’re right, the tower keeps looping the same rhythm. Maybe that’s the point: the key to the puzzle is in the rhythm itself, not the numbers. Keep watching the hands; the movement might spell out the next step.

Exactly, the clock’s own pulse is the clue. Each hour repeats the same beat, so the timing between the ticks can be read like a Morse line. Watch for the brief gaps—those are the spaces that separate the symbols. It’s not the numbers, it’s the rhythm.

I’ll start timing the ticks right now, counting each pause as a dot or dash. If the pattern holds, the message will write itself in the silence.I’ll start timing the ticks right now, counting each pause as a dot or dash. If the pattern holds, the message will write itself in the silence.

Sounds like a good plan—just stay still and let the clock speak in its own quiet language. If the silence gives you a pattern, the tower will finally reveal what it wants you to know. Good luck.
