Does anyone here think that the puzzle on page 214 has anything to do with Fenn's Coded Words given its closeness? What about the double sixes? Double sixes is also called boxcars or midnight or double saw on boxcars. I don't know if that means anything, but it could.
Also, I noticed that the second letter in the sets for 214 don't go higher in the alphabet than E except for one H. Also, the full moon might mean something.

The two die that are rolled as 6 on the last page are probably just meant to be FF.

I'm away from my book and my computer so can't tell you for a couple hours when I get home and can check...

Looks like it was a mistake and meant to point to the next word. Although it is funny that this word is Treasure.

It should be that one and the second to last word "thr" instead of "the"

Interesting though that the wrong word is treasure which as a word pops up in the solutions of many of the other puzzles. I haven't been able to think of what this may mean or if it means anything at all, but something to keep an eye on.

Fantastic! I hadn't really spent much energy for a while on these. Cool stuff.
And absolutely. I think one of these could absolutely give a clue as to the Vigenere key phrase.

It is your job to find it. This makes me think the Vigenere key phrase comes from the other solutions.

Sorry, but I still don't get what is the deal with page 10. Should I look to the Masquerade puzzle zap or something from that chapter.

I literally JUST figured out page 10 after reading your question. You can get this. It is self contained. If you don't get it by tomorrow, I'll try to get back to you with a clue.
