[QUOTE="Riastlin, post: 5361288, member: 94022"] The writing in Draconic can fairly easily be translated with Comprehend Languages ritual. As for the code itself, I'm assuming that you mean the writing is in draconic, but that the words don't necessarily mean what the literal translation suggests i.e. "The fat man walks with two canes" really means "I'd like a Royale with Cheese please." I don't believe that the Comprehend Languages ritual would decipher the code, but I am away from my book and don't have access to the compendium at work (stupid firewalls). However, a skill challenge certainly seems in order. Off the top of my head some suggestions would be: Insight -- fairly obvious how that would apply. History -- the code makes historical references "At the house of the Kingslayer" refers to the knight Lannister, etc. Religion -- gods or religious rites could be referred to in code. "The temple of One Eye" etc. Arcana -- I might allow a good arcana check to translate part of the code. Nature -- Again referencing landmarks. Streetwise -- recognize landmarks, people, places, etc. [/QUOTE]
