530

Gives seven letters that spell out the name of the city Bourges.

_____My Answer_____

OPENING

My first, first half of the half of the first age,
Precedes my Second and Third, seeking their way.
My Fourth is inspired, my Fifth is in rage,
But, without protest, follows my Fourth and the roman alpha.
My Sixth is hidden at the limits of ETERNITY.
My Seventh, standing, spits his venom.
To find my all, just be wise,
Because the Truth, in truth, will not be an oracle’s affair.

780

Gives the game measure, most likely 33cm, but much of this clue is mysterious.

_____My Answer_____

FIRST STEP…

Where you want,
By the nag and the coachman.
But where you must,
By the compass and the foot.

470

Gives letters that spell out the name of a town,‘A_Ronceveaux.’

_____My Answer_____

IT’S THE RIGHT PATH ONLY WHEN THE ARROW AIMS AT THE HEART

My first by gaiety is multiplying.
My Second offers you space,
My Third is of the air, and my Fourth is of the water.
When he’s lying down, my Fifth snores.
My sixth is worth a hundred, and my seventh is a node.
My eighth has the taste of the laurel,
while my ninth, in astonishment, is dragging.
My tenth is still naked when he has an affair.
My eleventh, finally, is the unknown.

Find my All, and through the Opening you will see the light

his line will fall.
Hurry to find the arrow.

We are at Cherbourg, with England at our back, and we must look for the Opening, drawing lines on the map.

_____My Answer_____

AD AUGUSTA PER ANGUSTA

When, at Carusburc, you will have Albion in the back,
Look for the Opening that reveals the celestial light.
Do not wait, do not ask for your rest, But get ready to walk on the water.
Twice, Neptune will come to your rescue And lead you away from the icy Septentrion.
Pursue your way and do not interrupt your journey
Before seeing through the opening, the becalmed Nave.
Without deviating an inch, draw a line, and you will not regret what you did.

_____My Answer_____

WHEN ALL IS REVEALED

Back to the Ponant, seek the Sentinels.
At 8000 measures from there, they are waiting for you.
Find them, you need to review them.

520

A final clue suggesting information that will help us when we dig for the buried owl prize.

_____My Answer_____

EARTH OPENS

Between them, there would be only two intervals if they were aligned.
But this would be too easy a game!
Now that you have undone all the yarns,
Doubt is the last torment that will be inflicted on you.
Because it is the rule of this cruel game:
Alone, you have to find where to land your shovel.
Show your respect for Mother Nature,
And before getting away, close the injury.
