The cloud gate has three invitation keepers and one scrambled entrance plan. Match their seals, decode the sign and follow the gate coordinates. Collect five named badge digits and use the final sheet. Every clue is on the table; ask the host for one hint at a time.

No item can belong to two people. Cross out each forbidden pairing.
Rain cannot have two items, so Rain must have Bell.
Cross Bell off for the other two people. Apply the last NOT rule, then find Breeze's item.
2
Mist has Key; Rain has Bell; Breeze has Ribbon. Breeze's item gives 2.
Use the letter under each named shape.
The first two shapes give G then A. Decode the remaining shapes the same way.
Write GA first, then one letter per remaining shape. Choose the table row matching the whole message.
3
The decoded word is GATE; its row gives 3.
Columns A–D run left to right. Rows 1–3 run top to bottom.
The first coordinate A3 means column A, row 3. Its letter is G.
Begin with G, then read B1, C2, D3 in order. Use the complete word's conversion row.
6
A3, B1, C2, D3 reads GATE. The conversion table gives 6.
The printed cards are deliberately out of order.
Find seal must come first. Work out which action comes directly after it.
The first two actions are Find seal, then Read invite. Finish the chain and read position 4.
5
The only order is Find seal > Read invite > Check gate > Enter hall. Position 4 carries 5.
The missing amount is a return into stock. The cancelled delivery never happened.
Start with 11. Apply +2 then -2. Ignore the cancelled +7.
The known entries leave 11. How much must return to reach the closing stock of 14?
3
Known stock: 11 + 2 - 2 = 11. Closing stock 14 minus 11 gives the missing return 3. Cancelled +7 never arrived.
Keep all five named badge results beside this sheet.
Begin with Keeper, then Seal.
Copy one digit per printed badge box from left to right. Do not sort by clue number; zero remains a digit.
