The answer to everything is about how awesome I am and how you should all worship me! *strikes a pose before being pushed off a cliff*

Anyone willing to join forces and see if we can unlock a few more puzzle pieces? I'm afraid I'm running out of ideas with the missing parts.

Aw man, I'm loving this! (I love puzzles. I really love puzzles. And treasure hunts. But these clues are fiendish. I like it.)

I'm stuck with scrolls 1, 3 (I have half of it, but the important half is missing), 4, 6 and 7.

I'm stuck pretty much everywhere except the initial translation, part of the crossword and Scroll 3. And I think I'm missing something about scroll 3 too *brick'd*

The deadline is pretty close and so far no one has completed the puzzle, maybe if you work together we will have some winners. X3 I said I wouldn't give any more hints, but the "hint" I already posted is a little too general to be very useful. XD Hint for Scroll #4 The numbers are not a date or time, but instructions.

Aw, looks like there are no winners this time.
Answers will be up soonish. EDIT: Answers are up!
Now I can explain what happened with scroll #4. The piece was originally intended to be hidden in the forum calendar on 11-22-13 (a trick I've used many times in past events), but Proboards V5 makes that trick impossible now as all entries are posted as topics that are plainly visible in the board selected. Unfortunately I didn't know about this until the day of the event, when I went to hide the piece. (Did anyone see my test entry that day? XD) So I hid it in another spot that still matched the pre-written scroll, making the answer unintentionally obscure. XD;
The "assistants" were all Marvir, too. X3 I like to think of the glyphs as their ancient language or something fancy like that.

Aah, interesting solution. I'll have to try again next year, hopefully I'll be more familiar with the forum as well as how the puzzle works and do a better job then

The one hiding in the Forum skin was really a great idea for a hiding spot! And Killix, I really love the glyphs! I think I'll actually practice writing them a bit to leave mysterious grocery lists and such all over my place. I already love writing in Sütterlin, and I know one coded script, so having this will be really cool. It's also pretty versatile. I can use it when wanting to be in an archaeological mood or when in sci-fi mood... Thank you so much for the glyphs.
