The avengers (custom quest) help required

[Vairie]

I know this is a long shot, but I'm willing to try.
I'm stuck on the avengers custom quest.
I have already found the only page of the guide present online (the others are lost in the sand of the old internet) and I'm at the last three dungeons with several pages of notes written down for the riddles... still no clue.
Anyone remember anything?
Any help from the internet savants who saved th guide or remember the adventure?
I really don't want to give up since I've come so far but I admit that I've very limited time to game and scouting inbetween dungeons in order to get a hint or an idea... well, it's getting dishearthening.
Love the game and thanks to the author to have provided such a complex custom quest!

Oops I wish i saw this earlier. There was a forum with a walkthrough; it wasn't complete but it was a great help. Unfortunately the original forum can't be reached anymore. We get this message: (Joomla version not supported anymore...The Darkstone Database is broken because the Joomla version is not supported anymore...You can find the 'remnants' of the even older site over here: darkstone.it-taucher.at )
I saved 2 pages in 'html' form a long time ago and shared them on the GOG forum recently.

Save them to your computer and open them with your favorite browser:

and

I recently created 2 text files as well: As their names suggest, they are messy to read but you may still find hints and tips:

Not much help I know but hope this helps somewhat.


UPDATE: I found this in a .txt file today deep in my external hard drive: this will help 'decode' some of the messages

a = ( R ) k = ( T ) u = ( X )
b = ( K ) l = ( M ) v = ( L )
c = ( E ) m = ( G ) w = ( F )
d = ( P ) n = ( S ) x = ( Q )
e = ( C ) o = ( B ) y = ( D )
f = ( H ) p = ( J ) z = ( I )
g = ( N ) q = ( O )
h = ( U ) r = ( V )
i = ( W ) s = ( A )
j = ( Y ) t = ( Z )
