Labyrinth Tunnels Code4
If you're just joining us, start at the first labyrinth post. You can find all the labyrinth posts on the Power of Claw page.
Back to the business at hand: We enter "K-N-O-T" into the combination lock. (That was so fast! Thank you for the lightning-quick solution, Beatrice, Hyrule, and Arra.) The gate cracks open! The strange lights seem to get a little brighter.
The old badger wastes no time crossing another letter off the bark. It now reads:
-J-M-E-M-I-A-K-Z-G-E-F-H-P-Q-X-S-B-Y-W-R-C-T-O-N-U-V-D-L-
Just past the gate is a dim, narrow hallway that leads to a crumbling staircase. This is definitely the work of a very advanced mason, maybe a master tunnel-building animal, or even a human.
At the foot of the staircase is a solid green door braced with steel—and, of course, another coded message and another combination lock. This time it looks like we need an eight letter solution.
We're going to camp here for the night. Who and Little Crow just flew back out of the tunnels to fetch food and water for the whole party, as well as some of those little green stones the badger likes so much. Those two seem to be bonding. It's a funny sight, such a small white bird alongside such a huge white owl. Anyway, let me know if anyone has food or drink requests, because we have no idea how far these tunnels reach.
NOTES:
-The two most consistent sounds down here seem to be the old badger's mumbles ("Seventeen will leave, nine left over") and distant rumblings that I'm assuming are coming from B.I.G.'s digging machines. Maybe they should be called D.I.G.? Hahaha.
-Growing up in a Sprocketville bunker, I'm used to being underground. But my ears feel a little funny in here. We must be deep.
-Silverpaw snores.
-The map we found just inside the entrance still isn't making much sense to me. Anyone have ideas?

This is human construct. But it looks ancient...... The walls suggest lots of different stories. I'm a bit claustrophobic, so I'll go back into the wider tunnel...
I'm still working on the meanings....
No, I can't let them hurt Ecio....
Huh? I'm mumbling? Oh well I was thinking about the light--we need more light really. This is a huge lighting problem. Totally wasn't thinking about Ecio. I can't controll when I glow blue... Any glowing snails? Or?

"I tolerate the moon and stars but can't abide the sun.
Banish me with torchlight and you'll see me turn and run.
What am I?"

Sorry if I'm going too fast. I can slow down if you want. I just seem to have a lot of time on my hands (*cough cough* wings really) and I keep coming back to here. I agree that we should pay more attention to the map.

The code says:
I tolerate the moon and stars but can't abide the sun.
Banish me with torchlight and you'll see me turn and run.
What am I?
Notice that it says "turn and run", not fly and it's scared of the dark so it's possibly something like a mole.

How about aardvark?

Silly me! I asked my father and it is...DARKNESS!!

Whoa, I didn't even see the third topic! Nice one, guys! I'll join on the next one, I guess..
Btw, what's up with the badger? That's obviously important.....for what?
(May 24, 2016 - 8:13 pm)
That sounds right. My first thought was shadows, but that has the wrong amount of letters.
(May 24, 2016 - 8:20 pm)
P.S. I just answered a few questions on the third labyrinth thread, which is now archived.
(May 24, 2016 - 4:51 pm)
I think I ws right about the letters being crossed off when they match the code. Does that mean we have 25 more codes to go? (24 if darkness is right.)

Does nobody else find it strange that we have wifi to post things in the tunnels? Some one must have a hotspot. :)

I have just escaped a riot in Bog & Burrow, and I am back with about ten bats and Alexander!!
(May 24, 2016 - 10:48 pm)
I have asked my bats. They all know the way out, and if you need help with supplies, I can send them out of the tunnel.
(May 24, 2016 - 11:46 pm)
I wonder what we'll find inside…
(May 25, 2016 - 6:36 am)
I definitely agree that darkness sounds right. My first thought was actually shadows, but if there's 8 spaces then I guess that won't work.
