Sai nods his head, taking in the information he had been given, "We found the artifact and a computer with a ten code password which probably contains the letter S in it because we found that on another case. Cool, cool." Sai had been thinking along the same lines as Lilith, just taking the artifact and running.
With the glory of a team, they could probably work together to get it out if something went wrong and took out one person. And they could probably just as easily find the letters, perhaps be able to do so without triggering any possible traps on the artifact they want. "I say we find the rest of the code. If we don't find the code soon, I agree with Lilith in taking the artifact and running." He is already on the lookout for any letters with engraving of numbers and keys beside them.

Florian ponders for a second, squinting his golden eyes. "Huh. If I had to guess I'd say that meant the sixth letter of the passcode is S. But eh, just a guess for now." He sets off in search of more cases with clues.

(might've forgotten about this for a day whoopsies)

The artifact's case is just like the others. Trapped, most likely, as well. There's no visible way to get the case open - the protective glass seems as if it is fused to the metal plinth below it.

Sai's search for another letter finds another 6 S - but the key drawing is different.

Florian finds the number 1 and the letter O.

The party has found:
6(S)
6(S)
1(O)

(reminder whack! Sorry this part is kinda a drag.)

Florian calls out his find to the others and continues searching.

Lilith decides to head back to the computer, searching around the device itself for more clues.

(Sorry I haven't been updating often. Life's a washing machine set to spin and I'm a dirty sock)

Florian finds the number 8 and the letter E.

Lark finds the number 7 and the letter S.

Lilith finds a slip of paper that shimmers slightly. It seems to have some sort of physical encryption on it. Lark, being a tactician, might know something about it.

The party has found:
6(S)
6(S)
1(O)
New:
8(E)
7(S)

"I found an apparently encrypted, shiny paper," Lilith announces, "which may or may not be useless once someone, preferably not me, decrypts it."
Laying it onto the computer, she continues searching around the device. She doesn't really expect to find anything this time, though; whoever runs this place seems to be extraordinarily dumb for leaving all these clues in plain sight, but not dumb enough to drop two of them in the same place. Hopefully.

"Eight and E," Florian reports. "Whatever that means." He continues looking for more clues or letters.
