Subject: searching




I riffled through m ever growing stack of tomes, up in the attic that had become my office. The Necronomicon, a dark and deadly grimiore indeed. But if it would help me save my brother...

I dusted the cover off. It hadn't been easy to find, this book...

 		Not quite sure about the email itself, but if you go to morgan's site the letters in the attatched picture (while keeping in mind the email) mean this:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
behold youth's folly

which leads to

 		CREDIT for this solve goes to Hikari! -- Sorry Surprised

The pentacles point to
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
noroeb (which is an anagram for) Oberon. Both Puck and Oberon are in a play called A Midsummer Night's Dream



The main picture (words1.jpg) needs to be..
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

destegged with the pass word "amidsummernightsdream" which gives the text file "midsummernigh":

"Eric," Richard cooed. "Cease plome here?

I looked up sharply from my book, the small reading glasses I wore bouncing on my nose. I was in the living room, reading, while Richard made supper. I was trying not to stray to far from him. He had been acting… strangely, as I suspected he would, on his return home. He'd been here for more than two weeks however, and nothing terrible had yet occurred.

I sighed, and set my book aside, and stood. "Coming Richard."

Before I entered the room I could tell something was wrong. Although the sun was spilling through the window, the doorway seemed dim in comparison to the bright living room. Nervously I put my fingers to my neck and touched the amulet that was there. Amethyst, set in a pentagram. Protection, I hoped, from dark magic. I had beaten the silver myself, two years before, out of an old spoon, and had the town jeweler set in the stone. It never left my neck since.

"What is it?" I asked, impatient to return to book, but then I saw him, bent double over the edge of the sink, panting. I smelled vomit a"What's wrong?"

He didn't speak. "Richard?" I walked cautiously over and put my hand on his shoulder. That was the moment it happened. He whiled around before I could blink, and grabbed my wrist, throwing me against the wall and pinning me there..

I grunted in pain. "Richard, please, stop!"

But there was no sanity in his glittering eyes, and behind him, I thought I could make out the dim shape of a man, laughing.

With that strange black hand that seemed to posses demonic strength my brother held me to the wall, and it the other, he wielded a cleaver. I saw the light gleam against it, and suddenly I knew what was going to happen.

I don't remember it. I remember the crazed look in Richard's eyes, and the outline of Xazlael growing firmer and more distinct. I could see his catlike grin.

Richard's breath was hot on my face. He was drunk, as well. "And now, bear drother," he snarled, "I whake tat's mightfully rine!"

The flash of the knife, and then?

Nothing."

 		Great job guys! Does nothing ever happen when I'm awake? Laughing

Not sure, but it looks like the spelling errors in Layla's email spell FYI?
