Warehouse Entrance - Start Here

[Ryuk]

You enter the warehouse. This site is reportedly the location where a meeting took place between KIRA and the Japanese police. There is dried blood all over the floor. Someone seemingly left a message drawn in blood, but you can't decipher what it means -

(jeez that ended up being a lot of blood)

You find that there is also a much smaller warehouse built INSIDE of this one. The entrance to that warehouse is locked. There are two pictures taped to the door of this warehouse within the warehouse.

Well I'm lost on this one

[Raye Penber]

Oh wait no I'm not

This is hilarious

[Hideki Ide]

I hope you got it then, because I just spent some time copying down every 5th character.

[Raye Penber]

No, I only have part of it so far

[Watari]

So its Mother Base from MGSV and a Nintendo 64, right?

[Mello]

I have no idea where to start

[Hideki Ide]

Okay, I broke down the string into strings of 64 characters and put in the fifth one, and it didn't work.

Raye, I understand being hesitant to give hints to mafia, but if you have any questions that we could answer to help, I don't mind funneling thoughts through you.

[Watari]

message is in base 64, it reads

So you want to get through the door huh? Then you must answer my riddles three!

All answers involving alphabetical letters will be in lower case, alright? Damn I'm running out of blood so maybe I'll only have time for two riddles. Oh shit I really overestimated how quickly I can write this while translating it to base64 all while rapidly dying.
One riddle it is then - "Boldy we marched for Rome, seeking citizenship for our Italic brethren, hoping this alliance would
underline the weight of our influence in the region. Then we would strike through the enemy's guard, - "

Well crap, I ran out of blood. I am now communicating with you through will of conscience alone! The password will be found by completing the riddle. Where do you find the rest of the riddle? It was here all along! Well, on the desktop version of this site that is~~~ *dies*

[Raye Penber]

where the hell is the rest of the riddle

[Hideki Ide]

I'm in.

It's saying that two people may enter in a head-to-head contest.

[Watari]

its probably linked to the MGSV bit somehow, but I'm not sure what the differences between the site on mobile vs desktop are

[Hideki Ide]

Raye, you around? I will post the password but I want you to be the one to get it.

What? Where was the riddle?

[Raye Penber]

Damn

[Raye Penber]

sure post it

[Hideki Ide]

superscript

[Hideki Ide]

Thanks for parsing that through base 64 Watari.

"Italic" gave away the key words in the phrase. Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough...

[Raye Penber]

Yeah I thought there was going to be a second part of the riddle with superscript and subscript so I jumped past those

I overthought it. Oops

[Hideki Ide]

It's funny, I thought base 64 and put the string into the url like it was a google image display.

[Raye Penber]

Yep, I did that too. I figured it out by looking at cipher solvers online and noticed one said 64. My initial thought was I was going to have to double decode it
