Note that it is imperative that this remain secret from NPCs in general for now. It is however available to any and all party members.
Tablet Code (A paper found with and describing the tablet.)
Born of fire Upon the earth Fed by wind Then tempered by rain They found the dark The makers of eternal magic Make way for celestial dawn
Then took the mountain's eye Wrest it free then hard they fought And built in it a doorway To anywhere they sought
Keep the doorway locked There are worlds they never knew For too often what you're hunting Comes hunting ____ for you.
Tablet Worknotes (may need some deciphering)
Part One - Got whole thing. Attempting to activate. Stariln (Gabriel) has the sequence. Matches Moradin forge puzzle. Works similarly. (center) hammer, mountain, sickle, plant,--feels wrong. Plant sphere EXPLODES! Math is wrong. Adjust. Switch 3 and 4. Math checks out. To 7 on center orb -- Hammer, mountain, plant, sickle, bone, eye, star. Roll die (mtn), spend mana into die, shaking. Rotate compass, W points up, mana to compass. Compass sets. Sphere wants mana again. No sphere. Ritual stops.
Part Two - Went through first round as in attempt one. Rolled sickle, aligned compass, moved to second round. Exploded, wrong symbol on underside of ball. Set all balls to correct things on underside. reset. success. Center orb and pieces levitate, pyramid shape. Asking for a number (7) Asking for a symbol (star) Point Compass -glowing silver and gold- (N) Reference to self (we - people in the room) Warping displacement effect

Worknotes Continue
General Worknotes - The die is optional, for randomization of any given thing. The first coordinate is (probably) distance. The second is (probably) realm/terrain. The Moon Lord ring was in one of the balls.
Part Three - Things glow blue this time round 1 and 2 done. Rolled bone. Coordinates - star, hammer, us Arrive at location. Dark, unfamiliar constellations. Our constellations are to the south(?) or at least are far back Crashing water N, long ice shelf to ocean N Ground toward storm looks black, snow does not stay, hot spot (volcanic?) Go N. Skeletons with blue electrical energy, shock touch cliff, 200 ft down to ice shelf, bodies at bottom Ships on the ocean fly Dagdeoth flags Collect cloaks from bodies. Head S to hotspot. Mourners. Do not speak language. Communication attempted. Recognize "ShadeOak"
Part Four - Coordinates - hammer, star, us Arrive at location. Follow Frost(?) around Get papers in dream realm code Dwarven gods protect us, aggravate it? Makes me nervous. Olympians and Norse have a fight. Dagdemar sits in a corner. Dagdemar is huge and looming. Doesn't move much. Two old women passing a gold orb (eye) back and forth, put to eye, drop, pick up, repeat
Part Five - Ring of the Moon Lord in broken orb Says he is a mourner. Says he is adopted. Says he is not so old as the others of the set. Terrain types. 6 is magic. 7 is celestial. Coordinates for Mourners skip the die, star reverse mountain pause hammer, plant mountain hammer Arrive at location Man with morganti sits on chair. White cloak, dark clothes, eye with tear. Stariln talks to him. Ring translates his words to Mourner language. We don't understand. Talks about Frost with him Reads Frost cup paper in Mourner language Everybody kills each other

Have the original paper: Also, I posted a more accurate and more complete code key on the code keys thread. It is missing "of" and "they", but it has more letters and is more accurate. By the way, the second paragraph thingy isn't accurate as you have it written. It should say "then took the mountains eye wrest it free then hard they fought then built in it a doorway to anywhere then sought" And the "by" in the first paragraph is probably supposed to be "in", but I'm not entirely certain. The tablet and the paper have a few differences, and the paper is more often right, but it has a few issues too.

Not necessarily. Nothing is ever truly lost, not in this world. So having these notes somewhere on Gabriel's phone could come in useful at some point.

The code and the various messages are still relevant, not to mention the fairly detailed notes about the operation of a very powerful item (Remember that Embarcarious said this was the THIRD one he's seen). There will be other things that use the code or have some sort of similar operation. At that time, people will be glad they don't have to work from the ground up.
