I am posting a letter from Good Child that was addressed to me so you all will be able to better understand this post.

Quote:
Dear Father,

I'm so thankful that you're feeling better and that you're able to access the internet again. We have reason to believe that Sons of Loki are following Richie Yurack, the man with the 4th page. He was able to find half page number 4, and is still looking for the other pieces. However, he has been approached by Sons of Loki, and they even tried to kill him the night before last. While in the midst of the scuffle, a woman dropped a note which stuck to Richie's shoe. We were able to decipher the bottom half of the note, which is a warning that should the SOL agents fail tonight, they would be tortured and killed. Unfortunatly, the top half of the note is written in a different code, which has stymied even our greatest puzzle master, Tipsila. We believe that, at the very least, the top half would help us protect Richie's life. What more, is that it may give us insight into how to stop the SOL. Would you be able to make this note the subject of a night's divination so that we may decipher the code? Any information you can uncover would be a great help to us.

Best regards,
GoodChild


The Sons of Loki are not your typical everyday "hoodlums" I believe the kids say. They are cunning, quick witted and seem to always remain a step ahead, however I wish not to speak in machine jargon because I have no shame like THEY DO and I unlike them have nothing to hide.

There are three things that are of the highest priority at this time:

1.) Getting the other pages (we are so delighted that you all have come this far!)

2.) Divination (in which to see what it is the Sons are doing to try and confuse us)

3.) Although it appears to be taking some time, I want all of you who have not yet recieved their citizenship documents to fear not, for more have been send out, I do believe covering the rest of you who submitted your receiving location specifics. Mail house number -- the name escapes me right now.

I do need to do one more thing for all of you. It is time I had rendered you all with better defenses. We have performed our divination tonight (and I shall get to that soon) and we're overwhelmed with excitement seeing you so effortlessly as well as responsibly using the spells, your best tools in this mechanized battlefeild.

Perhaps this should have been done before, but the topic was something that I had to first get approval from all of Gatewood.

It is a sort of protection that requires no "ceremony" such as herbs and candles.

We here call it Saeyklyhptoghs. (Pronounced sheh-GLYP-toghs)

Saeyklyhptoghs: A quick explanation of their Function and Purpose.

"Saeyklyhptoghs", commonly referred to outside the Gates as a "SEAL", describes a personal item, one that helps you to better focus and direct your etheral strength.

I have been doing them for students and citizens all my years. The children think that it is the "hip" job to be able to have, but it requires performing many tasks at one to create an effective Saeyklyhptogh. You must always know exactly what information you need when creating one, re consecrate and anoint your altar and contain all of your energy into one Saeyklyhptogh at a time. After 80 years of doing Saeyklyhptoghs, I still have my challenging daily objectives like anyone else. Here is one example of what it may look like. At least if the creator had no creativiity.

It does in fact appear to be overlapping letters in numbers. Our Saeyklyhptoghs are done so they can be used by the practitioner and a sort of talisman to carry, and an object of various other uses such as ceremony, divination or whatever you wish to fuel it with. Whatever Saeyklyhptogh emerges from my paper I will know within seconds if whether or not my work has satisfied the Great One.

Here is WHAT I WILL REQUIRE FROM YOU ALL:
I highly recommend this to anyone new to or highly skilled in the wonderful art of magic.

1.) what you are called the MOST OFTEN online (working on the computer.
I dont and wont ask you anything too personal or extreme that would bring harm or grief to you, but there are the required criteria:

1.) What you are called most often ONLINE, even if it is "first name" format only.

2.) Your date of birth (No, I do not need to know the year.)

3.) What field of work/hobby/study are you the most talented in?
3b.) This could include exploiting dead fish to raise money for prank calls to real moneys/chimps. That is not my business, so dont sweat it.

4.) Name a goal that you wish to accomplish that may even be way outta your reach or mine. Remember what this thing you wish to complete or overcome is! Visualize it; For using a Saeyklyhptogh correctly with respect and knowledge will bring you no destruction.

Enough about that for now, here is our divination report:

Tonight's divination enabled us to get a glimpse inside "the ring of fire". I believe I glanced upon some glyphlike letters, most likely the ones you have asked about.

I wish I could say I came up with an easy solution, but it appears our Great Father wishes us not to see this right now, I am sure for good reasons. But still, I analyzed it several times in my head afterwards.

it tooked like this:

/' ./ -o -o -o -o '.. /' ... etcetera.

also roman numerals. It seems they only go so high. If you were to name the slanted objects, what would you call them?

Slanted lines with an object on the tip. Which way are they going? Perhaps what you believe to be a lack of direction is really just your own. Maybe you shoud see what direction they would like to go.

Then again, perhaps I've gone completely mad.

The only other thing I foresee those Judases at TSOL doing is attacking with something unexpected. How predictable. However, better to be safe than... better to be armed to the teeth with tools and knowledge.

I shall continue nightly divinations and updates for all of you. I agree that we have come much too far to take any chances.

For now I shall leave you with a Saeyklyhptogh sample, one my personal seals in fact.

 		new Bulletin from Father Enoch

Quote:
Jan 13, 2007 2:55 PM
Subject More insight reguarding the mysterious note.
Body: During our most recent divination, Father Weston uncovered something more about the strange note that Mr. Yurack stumbled upon.

He accomplished this by a performing a divination using squares, 3 rows down and 3 rows across totaling 9 squares. The placement of the "X" symbol suggests an extra square in the bottom left corner. I am unsure what to make of the roman glyphs, as we have 6 of them, and 10 are not roman. Its enigmatic representation has left me quite baffled and perhaps a bit numb... perhaps it is a hex of some kind!

Following Father Weston's discovery, I felt a disturbance surrounding our findings. I shall inform you all of anything new that surfaces. Keep your guard on high.

May the Wolf guide you.

Father Enoch

This is fantastic news!

Only one more page remains missing. I have had much trouble with this website as of lately, so please excuse my lateness of reply.

Sladius has come to me now on several occasions about some nightmares he is having. Perhaps you could counsel him on this as well?

May the Wolf guide you

Father Enoch



This is a response to the Lupeus IV document.

 		Enoch also poasted this bulletin on myspace:

Quote:
Here is what was uncovered by Father Weston.

"Two to the south,
Eight to the north
East is the sixth
and west is the fourth.

Five holds the center
the hub of the lines
Nothingness marked
by an X you shall find."

 		I had asked Father Enoch to help Richie with some added protection, when I sent him the 4th page. His reply to the request:
Quote:
As for Mr. Yurack, I do not think we have to worry about him now that the page is in safe hands. The Sons of Loki will not put all of their strength into him. I fear that whoever is linked to the next page is in danger.


After Richie was injured & taken from the hospital, I became very concerned & wrote to Father Enoch
Quote:
Father,

I am very disturbed, I asked you earlier to help with protection for Richie from the Sons of Loki. You said he had no reason to need protection.

Well he was struck by a car and put in the hospital in critical condition, then he was taken by the Sons of Loki from the hospital & used in some ritual and now one of his friends who was trying to rescue him has also come to harm.

Do you care not for these people who are helping you? Why did you not even attempt to protect this innocent man? He may be dead as well as another innocent who was guilty of nothing but being Richie's friend.

A good cause does not suffer innocents to come to harm.

What is going on?

His Reply:
Quote:
Red,

I am sorry. It seems I have made a terrible error. Not everyone is blessed with perfection. I have been told some things about Richie's current situation. This should undo whats been done, according to the Great Text.

"DORIYAJA INJELESTE GHARAKKI NOHLADONA SUBMYHLL"

Again, had I been more knowledgeable of the situation, I would have responded differently.

May the Wolf guide you, and tempt not the fates.

Father Enoch


So we have a new spell, although I have no idea what it does. Let's try to get Richie out of this mess

 		Thank you Tipsila, like many players, I don't always have the time to read the entire chat logs, which is why I usually take the time when posting to put the pertinent bits & pieces in my post while also attaching the log. I guess I will get to it when I get the chance.

I have attempted to send the spell that will "fix" Richie to Mary also, we will see if she ever gets it.

Tonight's Divination

Tonight's divination reveals that the final page we seek is in the earth, possibly buried underground. I do not sense it near Sebastian, however seeing that our other friends have been attacked by the Sons of Loki, it may take Sebastian to find it. It seems to be in an area near Mr. Yurack. We are not sure yet where this area may be. Should any of you know anything about its potential location, contact me at once, so that I may note it here.

And may the Wolf guide you.

flammablemaniac: heyyyyyyyyy
CYA 111: hey
MountainGirlXD: greetings
AngryBanana1125: um, hi all
MTKelvin07 has entered the room.
MTKelvin07: Hello
flammablemaniac: hey Kelvin
MTKelvin07: good evening
EnochOfGatewood: Greetings Everyone. I have called you all here this evening to discuss the recent events. We have lost many, and as much as I would like to deny a war, I cannot. This is indeed a war and we have lost many lives.
[b]EnochOfGatewood: However, you have also saved many as well...
EnochOfGatewood: Sebastian being the most recent case.
tipsila 1: He is still being threatened
EnochOfGatewood: Yes, I am aware. He will continue to be threatened as well, so long as the Sons do not have what they want.
MountainGirlXD: Why? He's not in possesion of the page is he?
EnochOfGatewood: He does not have to be. The Sons do not care who they hurt, so long as their message continues to be spread.
tipsila 1: what can we do?
AngryBanana1125: what can we do Father Enoch, I will admit I have become extremely frustrated
MTKelvin07: I've been wanting to move on further along to help other community members out.
EnochOfGatewood: Continue to fight, continue to teach, and continue to learn. Frustrating indeed this all can be. I have instructed a student named Demetrius to help you should any of you need anything of his expertise... The fifth page...
MountainGirlXD: Father can you translate something?
EnochOfGatewood: Brother Sladius may have found a more specific region as to the location of the fifth page.
EnochOfGatewood: Yes MG?
MountainGirlXD: I was approached by Dr. William P. Jones and he repeated this over and over: Inhaddavaki semikolo lokiayahda simicondasi dasvassi naitsabas
MountainGirlXD: I realize it's a spell
EnochOfGatewood: I fear that this is another attempt on Sebastian's life. Inhaddavaki semikolo lokiayahda is an incantation, summoning an entity... simicondasi dasvassi means to bring illness to
AngryBanana1125: Father.... you think you have the region to the fifth page?
MountainGirlXD: are these spells we should use or are they only for the practitioners of the dark arts?
EnochOfGatewood: Avoid using dark spells AT ALL COSTS. I do not condone the use of such magic, as it can back fire on the practicioner.
MTKelvin07: That sounds bad. Do you suggest another method?
MountainGirlXD: Thank you. Now, about that page. You say Sladius has located it's whereabouts?
EnochOfGatewood: Brother Sladius tells me he saw a dog, focused on getting to the page. Where this dog digs he tells me that there is a wooden box. It is in this box that the page lies.
MountainGirlXD: Who's dog?
EnochOfGatewood: I am not sure... I had hoped that perhaps one of you could tell me this.
MountainGirlXD: Hmm, does anyone remember if Richie had a dog?
AngryBanana1125: Didn't Nancy have a dog?
EnochOfGatewood: Regarding your Saeyklyhptoghs, those who have not yet recieved on shall by this friday. There has been so much going on here that I have put it aside for saftey's sake.
MTKelvin07: I do remember an insight from an old conversation with Richie. He told me his dog was digging outside and the dog kept digging up the porch or whatever.
MTKelvin07: The dog dug up a big whole and Richie found something that looks like builders had left years ago....
tipsila 1: great remembering, Kelvin
AngryBanana1125: great memory kelvin!
MTKelvin07: Yes, yes.
flammablemaniac: gj kelvin!
MTKelvin07: I didn't think that would be such an important piece.
MTKelvin07: I have not talked ot Richie in a few weeks now. I am worried about him.
tipsila 1: yes, and Sal, too
MTKelvin07: Last time I recall was he ran away from the hospital.
MountainGirlXD: Sebastian didn't know Richie, but I believe he'd dreamt about him or something. Perhaps he can help
MTKelvin07: I just think richie should go back home and look at the hole his dog made and see if he can find something
tipsila 1: richie cannot, but perhaps his ex-wife can?
tipsila 1: she must be caring for the dog
AngryBanana1125: how about his son?
MTKelvin07: ooh.. well is there anyway we can get in contact with them?
AngryBanana1125: are we done here?
EnochOfGatewood: Whatever the successful method, please ensure your safety by using spells such as "ushakk". Is there anything else I can do for you all to be of assistance?
AngryBanana1125: i'm good - take care
AngryBanana1125 has left the room.
MTKelvin07: I'm fine for now.
MountainGirlXD: Yes father
MountainGirlXD: I'm having trouble deciphering something given to us
MountainGirlXD: http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b1/TNJed/1lost_notenyc.jpg
MountainGirlXD: Could you take a look at that please?
EnochOfGatewood: Of course.
EnochOfGatewood: "Two to the south, Eight to the north East is the sixth and west is the fourth. Five holds the center the hub of the lines Nothingness markedby an X you shall find."
EnochOfGatewood: This is what Father Weston uncovered...
EnochOfGatewood: I had made it noted, but unaware that after some time that note would no longer be valid.
MountainGirlXD: Thank you, Father
EnochOfGatewood: He also stated this:
EnochOfGatewood: "Those letters may not be the numbers people often think they represent."
EnochOfGatewood: I hope this helps you.

 		So working with the clue that Father Enoch gave regarding http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b1/TNJed/1lost_notenyc.jpg ,

I am working with a tic-tac-toe board aligned

789
456
123

using the symbols & the roman numerals and the "x" as a space as a ZERO, I get:

6662616563746976657370

6572736465616320

69746564637572736520

6974656468657820

686964

What to do with it from here? IDK

This is a hex translation of the above:

fbaectivespersdeac itedcurse itedhex hid

NOW I'm stuck again :/

 		Not a tic tac toe board -- but the number keypad.. the X at the bottom left corner... nothingness = 0.

Also he said the letters may not be the numbers that we are accustomed to them representing, so perhaps they represent letters.

And do the business ends of the 'spoons' face outward as the forks do, or inward?

Also, that first note is now void.

I sent Father Enoch the solves & here is his reply

Red,

Wonderful! You truly do possess such wonderful skills. Albarrash... hmmm... very interesting. We have been doing routine checks into everyone's sleeping quarters randomly, to try and find this 'Johansen'. We have had no such luck as of yet, but our search will not cease until this Johansen is found.

Help for Sebastian
This is what I sent

Quote:
Father Enoch,

Mr. Crane is quite willing to go to get the 5th page, but he is afraid of TSOL. Not of death, but that they will intercept him after he retrieves the page. He has asked about causing distractions in the area, but we do not know a way to legally do that, nor do we know the actual location of TSOL's garage lair.

I am at a loss on what to advise him, and he requested that we ask you for insight on how to be successful in this quest.

Brother Sladius often mentions a friend who is skilled in herbal lore, and I know that you all frequently use divinations to guide us. Maybe you can find a way to use the skills you possess to help us help Mr. Crane nad bring an end to this curse & TSOL.

Please let me know & I will pass on the information to Mr. Crane

Blessings,

Red
