Osh. That’s gonna be tough. Maybe the second part of the message is a key for each decryption?

maybe? thats what im thinking anyways. It’d make sense with the whole slow down dealio.
whatever the case, we’re gonna have a step here that we just arent noticing.

Could we try putting our messages in the order the dwarves arrived at Bilbo’s?

Does anyone know the order?

Now that it seems to be backward dwarf names, I shall contribute order of arrival as an option:

Dwalin; Bali, Fili and Kili; Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin and Gloin; Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Thorin and Gandalf."

I think the cliffsnotes order may be the correct one? Dwalin, Balin, Kili, Fili, Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, and Thorin.

Faves, Chaos, Not Those, Be, Cold, _, Be, _, And, Ice, Be, Cold

Oin and Gloin are missing, so we’re missing 2 messages?
