ARG: Cult of Adramelech-New

Silence?

Crow@forums.unfiction.com — Wed, 23 Feb 2005 13:01:42 +0000

Has anyone seen any activity on this game for the last couple of days? I haven't been getting replies to E-mails, and without a reply to a certain message I can't proceed to the sixth key. Does anything think this game is dying?

I don't know if I should be posting this here, if I'm not please move/delete this.

After seeing that livejournal went down and the 12 claiming that it was adramelech thad brought it down I was a bit shocked reading this:

[solved] The Fourth Key

silverthistle@forums.unfiction.com — Sun, 16 Jan 2005 00:31:19 +0000

They've updated the LiveJournal Community again... This time with two entries.

The first is a simple ROT-23:

You are all to be commended! You have indeed unlocked The Third Key and are one step closer towards our common goal.

And contains the Third Key image.

The second post (the newer one) contains a ROT-20:

The Fourth Key is unlocked by completing an ancient riddle. This visual puzzle is an arcane sigil to our ancestors, and all Acolytes are required to complete it. Send your answer to the usual address.

Behind an LJ-cut (html tag specific to LiveJournal) is an image, which appears to be a visual puzzle.

Looks like we've got work to do... I'll update the wiki.

I posted the the 2nd key that was found by hakab2060 on the usual 'The Twelve' board. I've got a response already.

I think in the future anyone can post solved puzzles at http://www.livejournal.com/community/heisrising/. THey have to posted in morse code though. It seems as if communications on new posts only are sent to the poster. So if you post there, please tell us about their reply here asap.

Here is their answer after discovering the 2nd key.

Well done, young Acolyte.
We are pleased to hear you have completed the Second Key.

As promised, here is your information.

We have many brothers all over the world. These are some of them.

Identify them and what it is to obtain the Third Key.
Find attached an important file which will help you.

The Twelve

The file is an *.ogg file. These are not allowed as attachments on this forum. If you want it, pm me your email address.

This is great! We have our own area now. Wow, the ARG relly is growing! OK peeps, looks like its getting a bit slow here... Come on guys! Gotta work out that audio file :P

I think its a song, and we have to identify it. The title is "Cradle".... anyone know any songs or bands with "Cradle" in the title?

I can't believe we didn't work this out before.

The Username for the Password Gate must be "Adramelech"... I mean, the title page is "Username=our master". The cult's master is Adramelech, right?
So, whats the password then? :?

Right, had enough for one night. Seeya all. Merry Xmas.

[email] From Jake 12/24

zephret@forums.unfiction.com — Fri, 24 Dec 2004 20:54:55 +0000

Another e-mail from Jake:

It's Jake...

Something terrible has happened.

As I said before, I was discussing with some others who were trying to
escape this nightmare and assist me in stopping them.

The Twelve have discovered one of us who were trying to get out of
that horrible group. I won't say his cult name or that would reveal
too much, but his real name was Mark. He was discovered this afternoon
with terrible body wounds... the police were stumped as to the cause
of injury.

Let's just say what killed poor Mark was in no way human.

I feel like this is my fault... he was killed because he wanted to help
me.

I must tread even more carefully than I did before.

Jake

And then I caught him online and talked with him for a few minutes:

geenomepops@hotmail.com says:
hi, this is SkaterAl from the Unforum boards. I'm sorry to hear about Mark.
mynameisjake says:
Thanks for your condolences... He was a good man at heart, just got caught up in all this shit... Like I am.
geenomepops@hotmail.com says:
I just hope that the rest of you can stay moderately safe.
mynameisjake says:
We're trying to stay hidden... I'm not quite sure what went wrong with Mark. I wouldn't be surprised if it was them and their dark magics.
mynameisjake says:
Security around The Twelve's been increased lately... They won't let any of the Acolytes get close to them. I think they suspect an assassination attempt.
mynameisjake says:
We considered it, but realised they would see us coming a mile away. They have incredibly effective divination methods.
mynameisjake says:
I shouldn't really be online, but one of the others had an idea. Since I'm the only one with Internet access, I'm just researching up on something.
geenomepops@hotmail.com says:
what would that be?
mynameisjake says:
Something that might be able to assist us with all this. I won't let out too much yet in case it turns out to be a red herring.
mynameisjake says:
Anyway... is there anything you would like to know? I'm not sure how much longer I can risk being online.
geenomepops@hotmail.com says:
well...is there anything that our group can use/do to help aid you, other than what we have?
mynameisjake says:
Actually... yes, there is.
mynameisjake says:
There's something else going on. Alot of lesser demons have been flying around. They are loyal to Adramelech, but not such a burden other than the fact that they could report back to him if they discover anything about us.
mynameisjake says:
What we could use is a method for binding them with magic,
mynameisjake says:
You may not be inclined to believe such things... but they do exist.
mynameisjake says:
Try and find anything you can to help us. I believe it would be easier to find information if you used the word "magick" rather than "magic".
mynameisjake says:
I've got to go... thanks for everything you are doing for us.

[phone call] From Jake 12/23

Kozu@forums.unfiction.com — Fri, 24 Dec 2004 20:26:00 +0000

More news, oh goodie.

Jake really did call me (he must be on the phone all night to get to everyone). Not much info. He stressed me to do whatever they (The Twelve) tells me to do. He'll contact me in due time. Interesting. I got his phone number (which I won't post) and Jake is in England. I'm really starting to love this game, it's really thought true. Jeez man, a real phone call in an ARG. Love it.

Now for the reply in the Live Journal. It's morse code again which translates to:

WELL DONE, YOUNG ACOLYTE?YOUR REWARD SHALL BE POSTED TO YOU AS SOON AS YOU HAVE DISCOVERED THE FIRSTKEY?YOU STILL HAVE NOT FOUND IT? TRY=THE TWELVE

and some more devilish sites

Don't know where to start. All bright ideas are welcome. COME ON GUYS ITS STARTING TO BE A ZEPHRET & PRONAGE ARG. THAT'S A PITTY THIS IS REAL FUN.
