Happy day! Not only did we solve another riddle (and a tough one at that: "X-A-X-I-S"), but Little Crow is back! That's right, he just casually flew down the tunnels to join the party last night, bearing plenty of food and water and more of the badger's green stones. I must've been staring at him strangely, because he apologized for taking so long. I shot a glance at Who, who was preening his feathers and paying barely any attention to the scene before him, then I wrapped Little Crow in a bear hug (apologies to any bears reading) and asked him to tell me everything that happened.
There wasn't much to the story. It's difficult to find food and water in this region, as we all know. Who and Little Crow agreed to split up, and Little Crow went in an unlucky direction, and had to fly all the way to Southeast Kyngdom to get those silly little green stones and a fresh cheese wheel for the mice. He had run into a party of birds fresh off the latest B.I.G. raid and spent one night with them, but otherwise he'd been all alone, safe as a small, solitary crow can be in Kyngdom.
We walked through the next door together, and saw something incredible: 
 

We were standing at the base of a spiral staircase, which must've been nearly impossible to engineer this deep underground. Dozens or hundreds of feet above us some sunlight leaked in from cracks in the ground. We climbed the stairs until we reached this gate:

 

And of course until we met another combination lock and code carved into the wall.

 

Can anyone help with this one?

The badger seems to be getting more excitable. He keeps mumbling "Seventeen will leave, nine left over," as usual, but he's started saying other things. When he crossed another letter off the bark, he even read the remaining letters aloud, very very slowly:  

-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-

I'm so happy to have good news for you all, for once. Hopefully the remaining tunnels are just as sunny.

That is correct. Also, watch out for someone named Poe Allen. He was sent here for Elliot. And he is insane.

(Poe Allen is also one of my charecters.)

That sounds right. I go to enter the letters I-N-T-E-N-D-_... Oh, no! There's an extra letter on the lock. In my excitement to have Little Crow back, I must have grabbed a previous lock image by mistake. Sorry everyoneEmbarassed

This one has 7 letters, not 6.
