well, converting the letters to numbers and subtracting them doesn't work, he said don't go down, so I added the numbers and got-
bw-zv-tu-av-av-zu-vv-zv-xt
25-48-41-23-23-46-44-48-44
RDHG3STY SCRDXGMA SCRDC4GD RDHGSSBR RDHGSSBR SCRDWALF SCRDSCRD SCRDXGMA SCRDSCRD
Or maybe he means, add all of those together, which would give--
25+48+41+23+23+46+44+48+44= 342

The original string of letters have gone through several steps already. Here's a quick summary of what's happened. We have to tick off steps from the map Ed provided us with. In each step we must use the original method that was used with that piece:
We started out with:
bw-zv-tu-av-av-zu-vv-zv-xt
Our first step on the map was "listen for me". When that was relevant to tha ARG, we solved it by caesar shifting. So, we shifted the letters down down 7 steps as per ed's instructions in this tweet:
Which gave us:
id-gc-ab-hc-hc-gb-cc-gc-ea
This was confirmed as the correct way to go by Ed here:
The next step on the map was "Monday". When Ed originally told us about Monday it was written in braille, so we converted it to braille, which gave us:
The next step on the map was "piece 7 source". I'm a bit confused about this one, but Ed put this tweet on shortly after we arrived at this piece:
The dots inside the lines are braille for the "#" symbol, which indicates that numbers should follow. We then decided the best course of action was to convert the braille symbols to their number counterparts, as each letter has a number that uses the same symbol as it. That gave us:
94 73 12 83 83 72 33 73 51
The next step on the map was "pieces". This is where we have got to. Ed has given us this hint to this step of the map:
Once we figure out how the numbers correlate to the pieces, we can decode them, and hopefully enter the result in the chat box which will finish this section of the ARG. Any other tweets have been Ed kindly guiding us on our way, and stopping us going astray.
