[Trailhead] Behind The Yellow Curtain (BTYC CH. 4) [Ended]

[phonon81]

I received the same email. A quick google search for 'qadhos' will lead you to www.qadhos.com. At the top of the page:

Nice work phonon. After some fiddling I got it:

New e-mail from Bobby:

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the futhark rune in the picture on database.qadhos

translates to

That is not dead whikh kan eternal lie

aka That is not dead which can eternal lie

They had to sub the k for the c

edit - quote is from this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necronomicon

eta - if you look at the entire background, one of the phrases is different,

thats is: Through the gates of the silver kee


Ok, Through the gates of the silver key is a HP lovecraft book, the previous quote shows up in Call of Cthulhu also a HP lovecraft

-eta: the photos on facebook, the woman is Louise Brooks, and the man is from the movie The Man who Laughs

[drejl]

Futhark's been part BTYC's signature since part 2. Thanks for taking the time to translate though. The Lovecraft, Call of Ctuhulu connection can be traced back to BTYC 2 as well when most of the riddles surrounded R'lyeh and the like.

I tried to find more info on H. Warren Jr.
Found a linked profile, but the only connection there since to be 'Astronomy'.

Meanwhile, torturing google by throwing in B.G., H.W. and E.C. with mediums BTYC has used before; Facebook, blogspot, youtube.. etc.

Additions:

1. Who is Eleanor Carter?
- Individual contacted by B.G. who wanted her to find the encoded message left by H.W.
2. What is the link between E.C.'s grandmother and B.G.?
- unknown
3. How did B.G. discover the note?
- unknown Necessary to find B.G.'s online residence.
4. Who is H. Warren Jr. and how is he linked?
- Possibly an Astronomy/Physics professor.

So not much info.
Already checked BG's old info, but no activity there. Same for her a.k.a. Diane Fillion.

I do know that I was *Supposed* to be one of the next victims of The Barbizon Group's hitlist; it never came to fruition though so whether or not they left me be or I'm still in danger, I don't know.

(And yes, I mean me as in Leyton Stone...)

B.G. did actually comment @ www.yellowcurtain.com, Urgent Update post.

Eleanor was killed by The Barbizon Group at the end of Ch:2 I explained this to Bobby at the beginning of Ch:3. There had also been a few of us lead astray by Beatrix if I remember correctly, although not 100% (throughout Ch:2.)

So just to clarify what are we looking to solve, at this point in time? I've sent a "Personal" message to Bobby and see what I get back.

Want. To. Play. But. Can't. Damn it. Oh well, I'll check back in, in about a month when school is less demanding. I didn't even get to play Chapter 3, because I was busy. :S

[Leyton Stone]

Hm yeah my mistake... Eleanor Plante was the person I was referring to, my bad.

But what are the chances of there being two Eleanor's in one story? I mean even in France (Where most of these char's seem to originate from) Eleanor isn't exactly a common name in these times...

[drejl]

Of course there's always the possibility we're dealing with the same Eleanor(a), but there's no way to draw a conclusion right now.

According to B.R., we should focus on the note left bij H.W.Jr.. He's already pulling a 'I do have the feeling we are missing some key information here.' on us.

When I look at the note though, what I do notice is that the v24 part is bold, and I wonder if it's relevant.

Edit: image at yellowcurtain.com is identical in background to the qadhos.com one. Don't notice an actual pattern though. It's a.. Z..
