[INFO] Story So Far

The Traihead begins on Nov. 22nd with Sylvia receiving a strange IM

The chat leads us to Father Enoch's MySpace

Oh! Puzzles!!!

And more puzzles

Kelvin gets us a little background on Gatewood through an IM with Father Enoch

Quote:

MTKelvin07: What is Gatewood?
EnochOfGatewood: Gatewood is a community, a structure. a way of seeking out that which our hands may not reach.
MTKelvin07: Can explain some more?
EnochOfGatewood: Before us stands a wall. It is not one that we can see, as it does not take physical form. It's purpose is to hold us back from reaching a potential that eludes us. Do not let your senses decieve you, open up, and as you discover more, you shall be able to feel it

Sylvia gets another im from a character, Sladius, which leads us to Saldius' Blog

From Sladius's bio:
About Me

Quote:

My name is Sladius. I live here in Gatewood XI. I have a passion of studying and learning of the arts I tend to. I like to hear from new people and listen to thier stories.

If you could peer far enough into the night sky, you'd see a star in any direction you looked. When would you sleep?

If you peered far into the sky, into the deep darkness, whatever direction you are to look in, there is a star there shining brightly.

Father Enoch sends out a MySpace Bulletin

Quote:

Enoch

Date: Nov 21, 2006 1:50 AM
Subject Our Apologies.
Body: I'd like to apologize if there was any problems in emailing me. It seems that the profile settings only accepted messages and adds from people who knew my last name. I assure you all that the problem has been repaired, and thank you for your interest in Gatewood and The Order of the Wolf.

May the Wolf guide you.

Father Enoch,
Headmaster, Gatewood XIII

Nov. 23 give us 2 updates in Father Enoch's Blog
Attention All Fathers of Gatewood (The Candle Ceremony)
Tipsila translates:

Quote:

The Invocation:
Praise Him!
"I am DIVINE KNOWLEDGE! I am The Creator, God, the just one! Follower Darkness, Unto Night."
Praise Him, Praise Him!
Their Names Amongst The Creator.
Close the Seal, Give Thanks to the Wolf.

and
Without them we are nothing

Teri receives an email that hints to us what we need to do

Quote:

Hello again, Teri.

Your lack of fear shows leadership, and I am so pleased that many of whom made contact with us also share such a rewarding trait.

Dc ds ydcqjoc muft cqfc cqu afkus hfx gu tuiufwul. Dc sqfww unsotu jot sorruss.

Father Enoch

After a little work from Sylvia and Catherwood, the decode is

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

It is without fear that the pages may be revealed. It shall ensure our success.

Sylvia receives an email from Father Enoch:

Quote:

Subject: A Thousand Dreams.

The path in which the Great One walks
Is sealed by a thousand locks.
A thousand wishes, A thousand dreams,
Oh so it seems we'll be set free.
________________________________
Into eternal night he Gazes,
Searching for the missing Pages.
One day our sentence shall be Repealed
And then our secrets are Revealed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Into the night we wander in,
the hours pass on soon wearing thin
Preparing for what seems the right thing to do,
These feeling so new to this place we move to.

Father Enoch

AngBa receives an email with a puzzle from Father Enoch. SoulsProximity solves the Suduko and AngBa sends Father Enoch the solve (with full credit to SoulsProximity). Father Enoch replies

Quote:

Well done, my child. I would like to award you and all of those who worked on it. Please pass the message to them that there is no need for you to be humble, but I hope you understand that this is but a small step into a whole new world.

I get the impression that this test has brought people together. Such is the meaning of The Wolf.

Wolves are family, they travel in packs, they look out for one another. All of you have looked out for me, and I also look out for you.

Without this mathematical equation, the incantation lacked balance. Your solution is what allowed me to finish the rite, and therefore move you forward so valiantly.

A man, a doctor of sorts, holds a piece of what can free our people, and give power to all of mankind. He is an enthusiast of books, but the divination I performed leads me to believe he does not know what he has.

Ghf qtayy erxo trp rx Zlhvra.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

You shall find him in Peoria.

Please work quickly, our life is on the line

Which sends us on the trail to the Doctor

MountainGirl receives an IM from Caine. He is quite hostile, but there may be some important information in it for us

Quote:

CaineVIVIVI: There's a revolution coming, and the old man won't even see it coming.
CaineVIVIVI: Why don't you ask him about the chemical that diverted us from our natural skills?
CaineVIVIVI: I'm not like the rest of these idiots. Sladius, Arius, Athena, Isabell...
CaineVIVIVI: I wasn't born in Gatewood.
CaineVIVIVI: Your lawmen found my mother in the middle of an incantation. They saw the sacrement of the animal, and they shot her.
CaineVIVIVI: Ask yourself this--Why doesn't Enoch get the pages himself?
CaineVIVIVI: And I'm not a traitor because I have never sided with the old fool toots.
CaineVIVIVI: Unfortunatley, I am one of the few who he can't touch right now. At least metaphysically.
CaineVIVIVI: The blood of my mother was spilled over his boundaries. I am her direct blood, therfore the sacrifices were the animal, my mother, thus making me immune.... immune to what? HE USED MY MOTHER FOR POWER. Are you getting all of this?
CaineVIVIVI: I guess you'll soon find out since you seem to have it all put together. Just think about it. Revolution or Extinction.

ETA: Kudos to MG for keeping her cool through Babe & toots & hun comments

And Sladius' Blog has an update telling us about the Candle ceremony, some dead, mutilated animal corpses found on the grounds and that he has a new digital camera (but has to keep it hidden from Father Enoch)- can't wait for pics!

AngBa has IMs with Caine and a new Character, Athena

Apparently Athena has a bit of a crush on Sladius, Plugs also has an IM with Athena

Teri has an extremely strange IM with Athena & someone else using Athena's computer & ID, later Arius comes in. Apparently Athena saw something she wasn't supposed to, the person she saw comes in and kills her, Arius (Sladius' brother, another new character) then enters and finds Athena's corpse, he asks Teri not to tell Father Enoch that he found the body so quickly after the murder.

He also gives us more background

Quote:

Gatewood is named so, because in order to enter one must open a gate in the great one's dwellings, the woods. Gatewood. But the students were born here.... we cannot leave.
An event happened a long time ago, 2 sacrifices were made on the boundaries, one of an animal, one of a human. A MOTHER. She was killed by outsiders, excuse me, those who do not live here (sorry)
and those sacrements together brought forth a curse.
Human sacrifice is wrong for a very good reason, no matter how good or bad that person, it is destroying what the Great Wolf created.
But here is where it gets worse... A mother was killed, her blood onto a sacrifice, A mother is a creator, a creator of The Great One, and it turns the whole rite into evil incarnate. Even if it was just an offering, it ended in chaos, and her only son, who ran away from his home in New York, he loved his mother so, that he walked a very long journey, and opened the seal. Now he is here to.
The Great Seal of Lupaeus.
The seal that opened when the five pages were prepared. Here is some very valuble information about the five pages Enoch wants you to find...
The Great text has existed almost since documenting events on paper like substance has, and it is a book that reaveals all, teaches all about The Wolf.
Those five pages were to be done as rites, by 5 very specific people.
I don't know enough about the pages, as I have only heard rumors, and what Enoch has told you, but each person has already performed the rites throughout history, I don't know thier names, but, only the fifth page can be used to free us from the curse, our eternal cage, Here's what I have heard about the first 4:
Each are born by fate to serve a very evil deed, Set forth by the great Wolf's eternal enemy, I cannot spell his name with english letters, but he has been misnamed many other things, Such as Anubis, Cerberus....
An equivalent of the Christian Lucifer.

The first shall be born of PURE EVIL.
The second shall be born of HATRED.
The third shall be born of SINISTER ARTS.
The fourth shall be born of DARK METHOD,
and the fifth is still very controversial, some believe it has happened and we missed it, others that it is to come. I believe that the fifth is either a great man like Enoch who will save us from our prison, or an evil one who will have the power to change destiny, bringing not only us, but the whole world to chaos, and I don't mean war, I mean the total annhialation of humankind, or the total enslavement.

I know this also:
That once you find the first page, it is supposed to be written upon it the keeper of the next, but here is the exciting part, The Text foretold that a group of Warriors of Wisdom shall bind with the one who wishes peace to humanity.

Insanitarium has an IM with Father Enoch
in it is a little more information for us:

Quote:

Caine has a degree of hatred toward me, I could do nothing to save his mother, who was killed by police from the other side of the gates. Had I known, I would have taken a bullet for her.
Pay no attention to Caine. He is immature, he is a trouble maker and he has the gifts that people earn over LONG periods of time in as few as weeks.

edit, corrected spelling error
and

Quote:

I believe that this, this thing that killed such a goal-oriented woman is not only dispicable, but also chaotic....remember the key, it unlocks a door, which unlocks a secret which unlocks an answer. He knew of this key, and he wishes to find the door before you do, but I don't know why he would kill her over such a thing.

We are encouraged to find the Doctor in Peoria quickly.

Father Enoch updates his blog

Quote:

Athena's burial was held last night at 8:00 pm. The sadness present that night struck very deep in our hearts, as did her personality when she was living.

Her death was abrubt and untimely, but I must again stress how important it is not to channel her back into Gatewood. It is only the body that dies, as her soul lives on, and perhaps she is being born this very minute somewhere in the world.

Remember students, Necromancy is always a No.
Should I catch any of you in possession of Necromatic tools, (and do not play stupid, everyone knows what they are) you shall be punished, and brought down one level from your current academic status.

I repeat once more, Necromancing is always a NO.

Thank you to all who attended, and fear not, The Wolf is on our side.

Eternus Atrum, Confuto Obscurum.

New update on Father Enoch's Blog

Quote:

Saturday, November 25, 2006
Last night's divination.

Ocassionally, matters in divination are often misinterpreted. Last night we were all very anxious and stressed concerning the loss of a beloved student.

What Brother Nicolai saw in his divination was just the result of reading too many scary books, or because of the recent levels of anxiety we have all been experiencing. Don't forget, some students are not as advanced in divination as others. This is no reason to assume that there is something wrong with you, or that you are not good enough. We all have different levels on which we learn, and we all have our very own special gifts.

I am still trying to figure out why our divination tools started to behave strangely. The cards flying through the air and the water that took on a form of a solid figure were probably just the result of a student's fears taking on a metaphysical motion, and manifesting itself.

Remember 2 things about the results of using Lupean Tarot last night.

1.) card XV - The Chaotic One
This card does necessarily mean that The Chaotic One will rise again. The Great Wolf shall always protect us from his fallen brother, who is bound deep within the earth, his jaws secured.

2.) The Chaotic One crossing another card
Remember, they must be interpreted together, do not draw your own opinions! I cannot stress this enough!

Also, the word "Peoria" that rose from Sister Isabell's divination bowl refers to something of an outside nature. Please do not look took much into it, as it is something that the people outside Gatewood are helping me to discover.

Hurray! The doctor is found!

Quote:

http://peoriaonline.blogspot.com/

Dr. Robert Price

But then Caine tells RedHatty not to share the information with Father Enoch

Quote:

OriginalRedHatty (10:41:27 PM): Please let Father Enoch know that I found the Doctor
CaineVIVIVI (10:41:50 PM): Don't give Enoch the page!
OriginalRedHatty (10:42:02 PM): why not?
CaineVIVIVI (10:42:02 PM): It would mean your destruction!
OriginalRedHatty (10:42:13 PM): how so?
CaineVIVIVI (10:42:42 PM): Talk to the Mountain Girl. She'll explain everything
CaineVIVIVI (10:42:52 PM): the revolution is at hand
OriginalRedHatty (10:42:57 PM): I will
CaineVIVIVI (10:42:56 PM): choose a side
CaineVIVIVI (10:43:09 PM): revolutionorextinction

Brother Arius sends a message
which tells us

Quote:

I believe that he holds one of the pages.

But I also think he may not know it's function yet.

Be cunning on this, do whatever it takes to win the page.

ETA: Sylvia sends a note of thanks to the PMs

Many people have interactions with Dr. Price, and much research is done on the pages already posted, we are not sure if this is leading us anywhere we need to go.

AngBa and Sylvia reach out to Sladius, but he is still too depressed by Athena's death to talk

Dr. Price gets a bit flirty with Sylvia after a cocktail party. He also apologizes to Teri for mistaken identity.

Father Enoch is informed that we found the Doctor and thanks us

Quote:

That is wonderful news!

I have been bed ridden for the past few days, and the computer in my quarters apparently became ill as well. Please work on getting the pages for us, and all the students of Gatewood want to say "Thank You" and that they knew they could believe in you. I would imagine that you would simply ask him for it, as I wouldn't want you to do anything deceptive to obtain it. I will be in very deep focus within the seal soon, but I will return much later. Thank you again.

Father Enoch

Dr. Price uploads more images, lots of old Nazi correspondences, could this be what we are looking for? it has mention of Lupeus Eternus

In IM he continues flirting with Sylvia

The Children of Gatewood are calling us the Warriors after we sent Father Enoch to Dr. Price's blog.

Quote:

I went there as you suggested, and I can feel it stronger than ever. He is the one we need. I must trust my instincts on this because what happens to that page will affect all of us. The children of Gatewood are now referring to you and your comrades as the Warriors, no longer do they call you outsiders. It is such an innocent thing to see, a child who feels safe. Thank You once again, on behalf of all of us.

Father Enoch

Sylvia has another chat with Dr. Price and get even more Nazi pages. We spend a bit of time with everyone analyzing and researching them. As an extra, we learn more about Adolph Hitler than we ever wanted to Smile

Father Enoch's Blog is updated. Tipsila gives us information about the December 4th Full Moon

Dr. Price has updated his blog with a poorly written account of a neighbor's murder, and a torn picture of a german officer holding a copy of Lupeus Eternus.

Father Enoch informs us he is getting sick and that Arius will be taking over for him while he recuperates.

Those in contact with Dr. Price receive the .zip file of pages and it looks like we found the 1st page!

Lucy specs that the sketch is about a ritual

MountainGirl sends the page to Arius

We learn that Dr. Price went missing the same day as Anna & Caine

AngBa has a chat with Arius.

Puzzles from the chat start us on the trail to someone called rougiemoon and the 2nd page.

Mickey Finn receives an email from Father Enoch

Dr. Price blog update decoded here

Sylvia has a long chat with Arius

Father Enoch sends us a MySpace Bulletin

MountainGirl finds Nancy/RougeMoon

Hyexistenz has a long chat with Sladius
From it we learn

Quote:

Sladius is 17
Lili is 29, but looks young for her age
Father Enoch is still very weak. He has been sleeping alot, and unfortunately some of us have been using that to have a bit more fun...
Lili got a bottle of brandy from storage the other night and we drank a bit much. I think there are a few others that have found the brandy closet too.
Lili told Sladius she had to memorize 30 pages of incantations in 2 days. She also said she learned how to Shift, but Sladius doesn't believe her.
Shifting is having the ability to take the form of another human. During the dark times, and the burning times, we were able to do it, but Father won't teach it anymore because he said it's deceptive and very dangerous.
The Gatewood community was one of the first to settle on the United States (on Roanoke Island). It's leader at the time was cursed, and all of the people that lived there disappeared. They say it was the work of the Chaotic One.
Gatewood books say that the word "CRO" was carved into a tree, and they assumed it was the name of the Chaotic One. Enoch says that they used Croatoan as a scapegoat, to blame someone else so that no one would be reminded of the Chaotic One again.
The local natives at the time knew of the Chaotic One, although I think they may have called him something else. Anyways, they didn't want these new people to bring forth this thing, and cursed all the settlers.
It surrounded the entire area where they had settled, and many of the settlers either crossed into what is now Gatewood, or as some belive, became sacrifices to the Chaotic One. The latter may be just a story to scare children.
Gatewood is still in the same place, but is existing parallel to what is currently there. They have a select few who are not cursed that act as couriers and can cross back and forth.
Even if you came into Gatewood, you wouldn't survive long, as even the couriers can only stay less than a few minutes. Time somehow affects those who aren't cursed. They age at an excessive rate.

Sladius Updates his blog

Quote:

Our focus in tonight's divination was to try and locate Anna. Father Weston felt something suddenly, and now is searching the grounds. He doesn't want any of us out of our buildings until tomorrow. I really hope she's safe. She's only 13, she's got a whole life to live. If the Great One really loves what he has created, then why does he let such things happen to us? All I can do right now is hope for the best.

EarlyWyrm contacts Nancy/Rouge Moon and gets the numbers from the business card she mentions in her blog.

Tipsila Solves the code

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

the blood of robert shall die for the piscis (pisces)

SPEC: Dr. Robert Price? And Nancy is a Pisces!

MountainGirl provides a download of her email conversations with Nancy

Sladius updates his blog with news that Anna's body has been found

After MANY overlooked hints, Caine's Blog is found

More background on Gatewood from Arius

Quote:

In 1587, men, women, and children became one of the earliest attempts to colonize the new world - America. Their leader had a very sick mother overseas, and had to return to her. When he came back to the new world, his people had vanished. The leader, had dabbled into occult before, and read one of these pages aloud. Because it was read, it awoke the Chaotic, and helped even worse events transpire. If we do not get the pages, The dark one will not be so quick to leave no blood.
The dark one left a message. the message was "croatkjaa", which is believed to be the dark one's name in english. when that name is found again, the last destruction will be at hand. it is much like your 666.

A bit of confusion by gamejackers, EleanorDare1587 and Elswick just add to the confusion, but Arius let's us know what's up and again

Nancy comes home from Oregon to find her house has been ransacked fortunately, her Mother's papers weren't even there

Sladius learns to use his camera

AngBa has an IM with Sladius which contains a warning

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

it needs to feed

and another one with another warning

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

you don't know what your dealing with

MountainGirl learns Vincent Stephenson is the name of Nancy's (Step?) Father

Tipsila sees a possible connection between the fact that:

Quote:

Nancy lived in London! She is 26, so was born about 1980.. and moved from there when she was a few years old... we need to find out more about her mother's life and what she may have been involved in there

and

Quote:

The sons of Loki began in 1979 as a religious group in London. They claimed they knew much about Armageddon, and that their faith would ensure those who followed would not perish. They were not well known, and those who did not join referred to them as a cult. The sons of Loki since then (up until they disappeared in the late 1980's) were dedicated to the worship of the Chaotic One, who they called "Fenris". The best way that I could contrast our differences of belief is to compare your Christian faiths with that of Satanism. That which we believe to be right, they believe to be wrong. They have missionaries, who are more like "secret agents" that move about and search for evidence of Fenris' return.

We think that they moved underground until recently, and had much time to study and develop and become stronger.

MountainGirl's IM with Sladius reveals that a werewolf may be loose in Gatewood

Caine blog Update

Quote:

Wednesday, December 13, 2006

22:56 - Lupeus Eternus 30:44

Lupeus Eternus 30:44

The lone village however, will not be safe, for it was these men who worshipped a dark god that shall bring about much pain and misery and sorrow.

New blood will be spilled, the clouds will become dark, the moon radiant.

Men will become wrath, dwelling in the night.

Arius lets us know that Nancy should be safe, divinations show she avoids the Sons of Loki

Arius tries to reassure everyone that Lougarous (werewolves) do not exist
Caine warns that ignoring the danger will bring upon Gatewood's destruction

Caine also warns us of gamejackers Eleanor & Elswick and also a cryptic message molap noan vonph faonts aqlo dosig.
Tipsilla solved it

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Men become wrath dwell[ing] in night

Nancy posts in her blog about a paper with initials on it. AngBa & Tipsila solve the initials, they are all Jack the Ripper's Victim's initials.

MountainGirl learns more about Nancy's mother and Tipsila realizes that there is another Robert in the action.

Tipsila finds a link between piscis & Jack the Ripper and that Father Enoch's pic on myspace is a pic of Aleister Crowley!

Great Finds, Tipsila!

Arius, in chat, confirms that Adolph Hitler & Jack the Ripper are two of the people in the line of the Chaotic One. He also informs us that they have recovered more bodies, Diana, age 25, a boy named Emery age 17, Isabell age 20, and several others are missing. Their bodies were found in various locations, and it took 14 hours to determine who they were due to their... condition in which they were found. Someone in Gatewood now possessess the knowledge in which to shift, and someone knows the Great Moon Rite as well.

More history on the Great Text

Quote:

The Great Text, or Lupeus Eternus, has been written by many, some genius, some mad. From your research and our divinations, we have determined that 5 men throughout history, have had possession of the text, or access to the "imposter" versions, such as Necronomicon, and untitled copies. Those 5 were mad, disturbed or just evil. Adolph Hitler, and Dr. Roslyn D'Onston (Jack the Ripper?) are 2.

He also asks us to tell sladius to higffdah

Sladius kills a Lougarou and it turns into Emery, the 17 yr old boy whose body was found mutilated!! We learn that Arius has received some minor woulds and some broken ribs and will have to recouperate for a while, leaving an opening for Headmaster Assistant.

Nancy found the 2nd page!

Tipsila finds out that Caine is Nancy's Brother!

Nancy want's to YIM to talk about new info on her mom

Quote:

Is there any way you can IM me on YIM? I've just discovered a bombshell... reguarding the car accident my mom was in in VA.

Nancy has a blog update
The 2 codes decipher to

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

ashton lane

and

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

apocalypse here weblog (or we blog)

SOLVED! BY MountainGirl
Ashton's Blog

Sylvia gets an IM from Elliot J Hurst after the previous gamejackers, we are happy when Nancy confirms this as a character in her blog.

Elliot tells us that the true story that has diluted into the fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood is the roots of what happened to Gatewood.

Quote:

Long before Gatewood became what it is. The huntsman's mother, the young girl's grandmother, became a symbol in fables, a wolf in sheep's clothing. The young girl was a blue-eyed child, born feet-first on the night of St. John's Eve, giving her second sight. She knew the woods well, and her grandmother had fallen deathly ill after the huntsman had done his evil deed. Why did this all happen you ask? That answer is simple. It was in the stars. All he wanted was the wolf's coat, a mother wolf, for a silly collection. But this wolf was special, this wolf was the one wolf in all of the forests in all of the world that God had not wanted to die. It was not however God's wish to step in, the positions of the stars just wanted this all to be. When the little girl's grandmother fell ill, it is how the curse began. A special creature of God the mother wolf was, and the curse ensured that a human would have to walk in it's "paws" so to speak.
And why was this mother wolf so special? It was God's first creature who knew how to love. Next to man, that is. Yes. The Mother Wolf is who they worship, the people of Gatewood. They call her "Him". It's funny how people make things so masculine, and then find out later that God is a female.

Sladius still thinks he killed someone. Later he is 'told' by Father Weston that he is to become the new Headmaster Assistant

A chat with Father Enoch reveals new information to help us

Quote:

Good Evening everyone. I am slowly recovering. I have been very weak, and I think it has something to do with the Sons of Loki, they must be performing a right to keep me this way. I would also like to congratulate all of your on your amazing research that has helped us get back the pages we need. I had a dream the other night about a boy named Ashton. He is a very disturbed child, but I also believe he may be the next key, to finding the pages that is. It is imperitive that you find him.
This boy, Ashton, is trapped in a confined space, like we are here in Gatewood, although he is trapped due to a mental condition.
I am aware of the Lougarou crisis here in Gatewood, and I intend to inform everyone about it. Together we can put an end to all of this.

MountainGirlXD: Is Ashton's last name Hurst?

EnochOfGatewood: Hmmm... I believe it is Lane, but I could be wrong.
Put your faith in Sladius, he has a good heart and bears the leadership of a king. All that can be done for now is to find the pages in which to bind the Chaotic One forever. I cannot see where Ashton is, only that he is a key element in finding the next page. I am sure wherever Ashton is, it is in a very near spot. I must go now, as I barely possess enough strength to sit upright. May the Wolf guide you all.

AngBa specs that Ashton Lane may have been adopted by Elliot J. Hurst and had a name change as a result:

Mr. Hurst was a fine teacher, he was always thinking outside the box. His son was a bit odd though, and I remember overhearing another teacher say that the Hurst kid was adopted. Apparently, the kid was a genius, always solving riddles and puzzles and things of that nature. It was said that the kid could crack any military code. Unfortunatley, the kid snapped in the late 70's and had a slew of emotional disorders, but the rumors and talk about the poor kid followed Mr. Hurst to every school he taught for.

RedHatty emails Sladius reassuring him about "killing" Emery and warning him that there may be more Lougarou on the grounds.

MountainGirl has a chat with Elliot that helps find Ashton's blog

We get some more on the Red Riding Hood / Gatewood background

Quote:

The story of Little Red Riding Hood is not just a fable. Like Many stories of the bible today, It has roots of truth. The people of Gatewood know it very well. I know about Gatewood only through dreams. I believe it to be a very real place, that is currently held in very real danger. A very long time ago, a mother wolf was killed by a huntsman, this wolf was very special. She possessed the human element, emotion. It was an experiment that God wished to perform on the world, and God herself was very much a part of this mother wolf. Fending for her young, she was caught by surprise by the huntsman, and killed for her coat. God became very angry with what man had done, and put a curse among the mother of the huntsman, who was also the grandmother of the young girl in the red coat. The curse came swiftly, at night, during the full moon, when the power of God was at its peak. But the youg girl was strong, and challenged God herself with this act. She killed what her grandmother had become, but it did not break the curse. Occult influences, due to the thirst for power only made things worse. It was later that a man, a traveller, with many others, came to the new world. They followed in the footsteps of the huntsman, and the curse was reborn, tenfold.

We also learn that Elliot's son is named Arthur, not Ashton. Elliot hasn't heard from him since 1970 & Arthur has a son. And Elliot remembers his student, Nancy.

Nancy's blog Update tells us she has talked with Caine about possibly being related. Caine dismissed the idea immediately.

Ashton's blog tells us that he has a sister named Mary. Could we have possibly found her here?

MountainGirl attempts to interact with Ashton, but he appears to be paranoid to the extreme. He thinks maybe MG is his sister, Mary, in disguise. MG tries the phone number encoded on Ashtons blog.

You've reached A-Ashton. If this is you sis, I'm gonna need some m-more cleaning supplies to clean up the house again. And I-I-I could sure use some more soap. I-If you could just stop by when you get a chance, and I'll untape the door, let you in. O-O-Or you could just leave me a message after you hear, after you hear the tone .

12/17-18
Caine updates his blog giving us info on the spells

Nancy changes the photo on her blog

Ashton posts a puzzle on his blog and Tipsila solves it!!!

A little more interaction between Tipsila and Ashton lead us to believe that the Lupeus III document is on Ashton's ceiling under a can of Lima Beans.

A divination tells us that Ashton has a mark on his right hand

We find Mary's? blogspot, but from the sound of it, it may be Ashton's.

Ashton has a bad dream and draws a picture to get it out of his head.

12/19-20

Tipsila, INsanitarium and Angba have interactions with Ashton which include a coded phone number, fears of his father and a confirmation that he has the 3rd page He gives us a quest to find the skeleton.

Tipsila finds the skeleton

MountainGirl has a chat with Mary and a phone call from Ashton. Ashton tells MG that he is in Georgia at Dr. Joseph's. Sylvia gets the same info

A few people are contacted by a Dr. Joseph Jacobs and we learn that the spells work! Unfortunately, we also learn that Dr. Jacobs has taken Ashton.

Mary's blog has an update with the SoL demanding the Page in exchange for Ashton's life. We have a 48 hour deadline.

There is a sunshinelove6782 posing as Mary who's sn is really sunshinelove6783. SPEC is that this is a sons of Loki member.

MountainGirl learns that Nancy has a date unfortunately, it turns out it was with a Dr. Smith, a powerful member of the Sons of Loki. Later we learn that he has Killed Nancy & delivers us an ultimatum. Our combined efforts with the spells finally overcome Dr. Smith and we tell Caine about the interaction (see above link), unfortunately, he also reduces the time for us to give him the page to 24 hours.

In Chat it was decided that a fake page would be made and given to the SoL. Caine give us a spell to add to the page, MountainGirl makes the page & sends it to Dr. Joseph. The SoL are fooled & they release Ashton! Ashton leaves us a message on his answering machine to let us know he's safe.

Sladius updates his blog to let us know that Father Enoch has made a complete recovery from his illness. He also has a chat with Insanitarium telling us he saw Lili running with a knife.

Insanitarium and AngBa decide to go undercover and infiltrate the SoL. Through this, the Sol learn that they received a fake page & we learn that they are afer the talents of a young girl named Charlotte who lives in Gatewood. Father Enoch is contacted and warned of the possible danger to Charlotte.

Mary has joined the SoL and through Insanitarium's use of the spells, we learn of an attack planned on Gatewood by a member of gatewood named Dr Johansen. Tipsila, AngBa and Sylvia warn Father Enoch.

Mary starts leaving Song lyrics as away messages

12/21-22

12/21
Insanitarium has a conversation with Father Enoch regarding the SoL's interest in Charlotte, he explains that he is not siding with the Chaotic One, but is Faithful to the Wolf. Father Enoch understands the strategy and calls him a Shadow. The both agree to having a substitue/stand in for Charlotte, another young girl named Isabell, who is very skilled in spells & should be able to fool the SoL. She will have a protective spell placed on her that will allow her 47 hours outside the boundaries. Insanitarium is to inform the SoL that they need to substitute one of their members as a courier for Gatewood.

SoulsProximity is contacted by a new character, DianaXIV. Through it he learns that Lili has not been seen since the lougaroo attacks & there are rumors that she is working with the SoL. Through skilled use of spells, he learns that Lili is at Diana's door, that Diana thinks Lili needs to return to the forest and cast a spell of invisiblity, that she and Lili are avoiding contact with Father Enoch by hiding out at the Settler's stone, in the outer stones and that they are hiding the Blade of Isis.

Sylvia has a chat with Dr. Smith from the Sons of Loki, it is heavily encoded, but she decodes it. we are told:

Quote:

tell Father Enoch that we are gaining in numbers.
It won't be long before Gatewood falls and the Sons rise.
WE ARE WATCHING ALWAYS.

laevatein has a chat with Dr. Smith which leads us to a new very encoded blogspot

Sylvia Decodes it and it reads (less repeats)

Quote:

Congratulations. You now
YOUR MISSION
FIND THE BLADE OF ISIS THAT BEARS THE HEAD OF HORUS.
IT IS IN THE POSSESSION OF A GIRL IN GATEWOOD.
DO NOT FAIL
Welcome, you are now a member of the Sons of Loki.
Do not disappoint us, as we are watching your every move.

So the SoL are looking for Lili & Diana!

12/22
Insanitarium got Page 3 from Ashton, Lima Beans needed a new, safe home!

Insanitarium also has a chat with Dr. Smith. Dr. Smith says

Quote:

WE REQUIRE THE BLADE OF ISIS
FIND THE BLADEOFISIS in it's SPOT
FIND US THE BLADE
You shall know its purpose
THEBLADEOFISIS is most important to us
Now you will know its purpose. Tonight is a dark night for Gatewood. Then the blade shall be accesible.
BLOOD SHALL BE SHED TONIGHT.
The girl has possession of the blade. She will perform a task unsuccessfully and then we shall have it.

Which leads him to The blade of Isis Blog

Kaiser1245 SPECS

Quote:

It seems the dagger may be able to open a door to another dimesion. It also seems like Gatewood is part of another dimension, or at least something similar to that concept. I think that maybe the SoL want the dagger so they can launch a full-scale attack on gatewood...

LeHommeSuspendu has a chat with Sladius in which Sladius again mentions seeing Diana and Lili running and tells LHS, through the use of a spell, that he should research more into the blade & it's uses.

Tipsila also has a chat with Sladius.

Quote:

He asked if I had heard the news that Arius was gone, and said he saw Diana and Lili last night running to the woods, but did not follow them. I mentioned that on the 15th Arius told us that both girls were found dead, along with Emery. He said that what happened to Emery is spreading, and tonight is a powerful night.

Later, in a Group Chat with Sladius we learn that he warded off an attack of Lougarou, but they were still around, we then learn he killed Lougarou Lili and is upset about it. He found the blade, and it opened up and contained Nightshade (thanks to INSANE). We stopped him from being mesmorized by it... The other pertinant info is that there is a name in the sand we need to find, YURACK and we received another spell, DAHVORC a spell in which to charm. A spell of charisma. It can be very persuasive sometimes.

META: Side humor, MTKelvin enters the chat saying "I've been behind on this game. I'm trying to catch up." Which inspires many of us to 'scream' "tinag!" RedHatty explains this word to Sladius, "Sladius, tinag is one of OUR spells, it helps people remember where they are", which he accepts without question. A little later in the chat, Sladius says, "Yes, it is our memories that often decieve us. Tinag." which many of us thought was exceptionally funny

Father Enoch updates his blog with another invitation for us to send out addresses to receive Gatewood citizenship papers, and informing us that the first batch have been sent out.

He also warns

Quote:

People of Gatewood: anyone who happens to see Brother Arius and any point during their travels is not to make contact with him. Father Weston needed to break from his care for divination, and Arius vanished. Please let me know should you see him.

Sylvia receives a reply from Caine after she told him about the attack on Sladius. He basically says he is here as our teacher, that he can't risk going out & becoming a Lougarou, but that we have what it takes to help.

Father Enoch updates his Blog with information from a divination

Quote:

The Yurack is rich but yet he struggles for money.

Sladius instructs Halfdeadgoat to try and infiltrate the SoL

Insanitarium get reprimanded by Dr. Smith for the SoL getting a fake page. He reassures Dr, Smith that he was not involved in that and that he warned them about it being a fake page. He goes on to tell them he can produce "Charlotte" when the SoL are ready for her (this will be the double, Isabell, as arranged with Father Enoch), he also informs them that Sladius is now in possession of the Blade of Isis.

In a Chat with Mary, Insanitarium finds out that the blade will be intercepted by a courier and delivered to the SoL in Brunswick, GA, mind you, he used the charm spell repeatedly & now Mary is all infatuated with him Smile

Sladius is doubtful of the information from Mary, so in a chat with Insanitarium and Teri, he devises a plan for Insanitarium to gain the full trust of the SoL. Insanitarium will "kill" Teri in front of a member of the SoL. Teri is a trooper & takes one for the team! The SoL representative is impressed

Quote:

drwilliampjones: A wonderful thing you have done for us. I am quite fond of your style as well. Perhaps Dr. Smith could use a person like you in the... UPPER ranks.

and we get a BIG hint to Mr. Yurack

Quote:

drwilliampjones: Oh really? Richie Yurack? Bring this to Dr.
Smith's attention when you speak with him tonight.

Caine sends out a new MySpace bulletin

Quote:

Subject The Blade of Isis

I have been hearing much about this object. Whatever you do, ensure it's protection. A divination I performed here in solitude told me that Father Enoch plans on sending it out with a courier to a place south of a town known as Savannah Georgia. I think the courier is going to leave the object in this place after your Christmas holiday at some point.

Father Enoch knows of someone that could keep it safe, but I am not so trusting of this courier. I am going to find out the exact details of where this object is to be placed, as it could only bring more destruction into Gatewood.

The divination showed me something else with the blade, but I could not see what it was.

RedHatty finds Richie Yurack
Warning:Adult Language used often in this blog

Father Enoch sends us a bulletin

Quote:

ATTENTION CITIZENS OF GATEWOOD.

Citizenship Papers begin to arrive

12/28
Richie Yurack updates his blog, bah-humbug!
Adult language

Father Enoch updates his blog. They all survived the winter storm with little damage and

Quote:

There seems to be a constant silence right now in Gatewood, but do not be fooled, it is an unsettling disconcertion of peace in disguise. The Omeae must be drawing near, and I expect many more signs of it shall surface.

12/30
Another Update from Richie, he is getting IM's from someone who is sending only numbers Wink

No quote of it though Sad

Father Enoch's latest bulletin sends us back to Elliot Hurst, he has more info for us.

Group Chat with Elliot Hurst gives us the background to the Red Riding Hood Story, some info on the 6 Earth eras (according to Mr. Hurst), and then Tipsila asks him to read the Lupeus III page and give us his interpretations (brilliant thinking Tips!). From this he tells us:

Quote:

Elliot J Hurst: hmmmm.....
Elliot J Hurst: yes, I'm perplexed by the contents of this story...
Elliot J Hurst: A doctor,
Elliot J Hurst: refered to as a Woodman,
Elliot J Hurst: how ironic it should relate to the woodman of the girl in red,
Elliot J Hurst: befriends a man whom he puts much trust into,
Elliot J Hurst: but this man may have decieved the woodman,
Elliot J Hurst: and decided to take his own path,
Elliot J Hurst: after gaining all he needed to execute his intentions.
Elliot J Hurst: Hmmm...
Elliot J Hurst: Matt 7:15... do not forget this lesson.

Tipsila thinks he is referring to Dr. W. Robert Woodman

Richie reaches a few of us through email, chat and updates his blog with a pic of a strange letter left on his door.

He meets a girl at a bar who is apparently a minion of the Sons of Loki, she has a strange tattoo on her neck. She drops a piece of paper that Richie picks up. Part of it has been decoded, but we are still struggling with the top part.

After a long chat with Richie, Part of Page 4 is found.

Insanitarium chats with Richie and gets more stuff with codes and a blog update gives us some more old book pages.

PhanomKelvin has a chat with Richie and scores 2 more pieces of page 4. Added with the pieces from Insanitarium, we have all of page 4! Father Enoch is quickly notified.

Richie is quiet for a couple of days & then he updates his blog with a piece of paper he found in a car belonging to the Sons of Loki. Looks like a death spell & we tell him to destroy it.

We also get another old news clipping with a code on it. Most of it is worked out, but we are still missing a word.

Father Enoch updates his Myspace inviting us to send in information and he will make us each a personal Saeyklyhptogh. He also tries to help us with deciphering the top of the page that Richie got from the girl at the bar, but we are still stumped.

Father Enoch follows up with a Myspace bulletin again trying to help us decipher the page & still we are stumped.

People receive thier Saeyklyhptoghs.

Sladius updates his blog with pages from the lessons they are learning in class. He also has chats with Insanitarium and MountainGirl.
