This might be the trickiest entry so far in the alphabet. I haven't figured out (rot13):

Ubj gb zbir gur guerr cvrprf va gur ybjre evtug (V pna ernpu gur M ol oheavat gur bgure gjb, ohg gurl frrz vzcbegnag).
Ubj gb phg gur ybat oybpx jvgubhg oheavat vg nyy hc.

But while writing this, I just noticed na harkcrpgrq zrpunavp vaibyivat sver. Gung bcraf hc fbzr cbffvovyvgvrf, vs gur jva pbaqvgvba vf crezvffvir nobhg jung xvaqf bs fbyvq oybpxf pbhag.

- Gb cnegvnyyl ohea gur ybat oybpx lbh arrq gb sbez lbhefrys vagb n fcrpvsvp xvaq bs funcr

didn't need it. the solution is pretty simple once you understand all the mechanics and think about the pieces you have available, only held back by a slight red-herring at the start.
