I spotted a runic lock on the ancient gate. Thought it could use a bit of code work—care to crack it with me?

Sounds like a fun challenge. Let's start by cataloging the runes and looking for any patterns. Once we map them to symbols or letters, we can try common cipher techniques—maybe a substitution or a simple Caesar shift. Just keep me posted on what you see.

I’ve noted twelve distinct symbols, most repeating twice and a few appearing only once. The first pair looks like a mirrored “V” shape, then a simple horizontal line, followed by a small loop. Patterns seem to cluster in groups of three, so I’ll try a trigraph substitution first, then run a Caesar test on the remaining letters. Will keep you in the loop.

Good job noting the repeats. A trigraph approach makes sense—once you get a provisional key, test it against known words or phrases that might fit the gate’s purpose. Let me know the partial results, and we can iterate.

Mapped the first three runes to “S,” “A,” and “G.” The next group looks like a mirror‑V again, maybe “E.” If that’s right, the phrase could start with “S A G E …” or “S A G E E …” I’ll check the next set to see if it fits “SAGE” or “SAGENT.” I’ll keep the rest blank for now.
