Just enter: DCLXVI and you'll see it is 666.

 

[dduardo]

I think we need the power of three to vanquish him

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

Nero was the first antichrist BTW According to the number and his name any way. hehe, Christians then Catholics, anti christ every century

Also the Jews see his number as the second coming since the jews see 666 as a holy number not a satanic one? Anyway I digress, I've used all the names I can think of?

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

That is his number... Who is he? (If you got here from riddle 16, you're not on the right track..)

erm here we go. type 666 what is riddle 16 I can't remember?

 

[dduardo]

riddle 16 was the map

[Schrodinger's Dog]

This is all leading to Dracula so his name must be tied in, We're talking about Vlad Dracula maybe? Tried Vlad, to me all the clues about Vlad might be relevant? Alternative antichrists or am I just again reaching at straws?

 

[Gale]

it said nero was close and i can't find any names that seem close to nero, or any other people who were like him.

Oops I left and I think I am behind

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

yeah 'sok I'm there just going off on tangents, Who created this, maybe he's the antichrist he's a bloody demon I know that much.

 

[dduardo]

Finally:

caesarnero

 

[Gokul43201]

Wooo...good 'un !

 

[JamesU]

I tried nothing.htm...didn't work...

 

[Gale]

man, i hate when were only off by something dumb like that... but moving on..

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

Bugger I just closed the last riddle by mistake and can't get back you got it, good on you

 

[dduardo]

Found it:

Just remove the relic.htm part

The next clue is a 9.3MB rar file. Wow

 

[Gale]

i'm downloading the next zip... what could be inside. dun dun dun. the % virus free made me nervous though.

 

[Gale]

oh my goodness, well now i know why it says not to get lost.. that's a lot of folders to go through...

 

[Schrodinger's Dog]

Oh well glad to be of help if at all, and it's time for bed. Nero, huh, yeah first antichrist. And as some believe the first demon of the times. Well good luck.
If anyone can tell me how to get back in tomorrow from point 19? I'd Apreciate it, cause I'm not doing all that again.

 

[dduardo]

I'll use a little Unix magic to get rid of the verbose files and find the good file

 

[dduardo]

Well, I used "grep -RL Nothing *" and got the following files:

101/202/,.txt
161/80/,.txt
66/6/,.txt

 

[Omega_6]

After opening the picture I'm guessing it has something to do with phi...

 

[Gale]

well, i went to folder 161, then folder 80 and the file there says /moveon

oooh, enter that but not htm

 

[Omega_6]

But there seems to be more...

After that use <<[color="#black"]deeper[/color]>>

 

[Gale]

then >> /free

 

[dduardo]

then >> screamandrun.htm

 

[Gale]

oooooh hmm

 

[dduardo]

We just did trial and error, but I see your point. We also kind of cheated by using the grep command to search the files instead of figuring out the folder from the image. O well, next riddle...

 

[JamesU]

hmm...let the past inspire you...

 

[Gale]

yeah, what was the room of your darkest fears 666? ok, then the room of errors in half? that was the other line of folders...

 

[dduardo]

Based on the library clue, I'm guessing that the triplets are the dewy decimal classification.

 

[Gale]

for this next one the "look for help in your local library" led me to the dewey decimal system. which is three digits, so that fits.. from there ...yeah, dduardo beat me...

 

[JamesU]

how about the "it is trying to touch you... listen to it"
