Potato?
Bump for (very lately) solved.
I should be ashamed of myself as we shared both themes and parts in our respective puzzles, I should have found much sooner!

Figured out the key, understand the very well described decryption. Not getting 7 characters, but at least I probably know what to do with them if I get them! I'll have to look at it again later. Doing these puzzles on a phone is less than ideal.
Love your background story.

Oof. I think I know what the missing part is (it's definitely not potato) based on the hints but now I'm confused how to get 7 characters down from 100 with a substitution cipher.

bump for solved and i feel dumb, I just had it in my head that there was another decryption on top of that. Ah well it was enjoyable!

Everyone having trouble with the 7-digit code or the decryption order, meanwhile I can't find the runes for the life of me x.x

bump for final minutes, I will edit this comment with solution once I pop back shortly after.
solution found here
may be long, but many of the pieces here were not needed for solving, was all to help point in the correct direction. google is your friend!

Hello SG folks,
GA level requirements are 0-3
the portal for this small train with 11 carts(12 keys in total) was stolen from the encampment by demons somehow, fortunately the old man who we stayed a while and listened to stories from near the portal area is ok. We gave chase but were only able to obtain an encrypted message and the demons got away, the high priestess drew the runes(and poorly!) that would let us make the key that would let you decrypt the message believing we could figure it out but the musclehead messenger she gave it to tried to sharpen his axe with it and ended up cutting out the middle segment of the drawing and what kind of encryption it was and that segment fell into the campfire.
Figure out what is missing to get the key to decrypt this message!.

The Encrypted Text is below:
GzoEmnzfvdMyCjqotmLgeAefanMgoHnnatMhLgeBy1pqratgpqlinemRzlHULXSvsquqKeotjqpWcxtwvpsuIqtxotmrjIvvwekk
Hints:
It is a Cipher that requires a key to decrypt
Don't forget to check variants of ciphers, and remember your making a key, not just finding the pieces!... if you want to know exactly which cipher check 2 hints down
The portal is a 7 digit code, don't know what to do with it? look at some of the other puzzles from the past couple weeks from others, its a trending method!
The Cipher used is: Beaufort Cipher, this is a variant of Vigenere
there are already tons of clues hidden around... do you really need more right now... or do you just need a space bar... or a refresher?
