 		ok, three futhark runes so far "DRE", 11 unlocks total, two words found that start with dream , one is dreamlessly, the other is "DREAMWORLDS" pretty sure its going to spell that.

Next up, p666.php What is interesting is that this also feels like a x files reference, but if you google "trust no one riders on the storm" (aka the music that is playing) you'll find a show called ReBoot. Trust no one is an episode and so is Web Riders on the Storm. The "Trust No One" is an Xfiles spoof episode.

S'all I got so far.

 		Just started following qhados today, and I noticed that the first letter from Beatrix had a nazi storm brigade insignia. The only reason that I pay any attention to it is the p666 popup playing "Riders on the Storm".
[spec1]Storm brigade/Riders on the Storm... connection? Just very vague and seemingly unrelated speculation, had to mention[/spec1]

EDIT: I also noticed very faint lettering in the box on the bottom right of page 1
Anyone able to play around with that a little so we can see what's written?

Yeah, that's why I enhanced it in the first place Wink
Unable to bring the text to the front though. Too much distortion.

 		hmm...

from Eleanor's FB;

Quote:
Tout devient de plus en plus clair. Thank you for the book B. J'ai bien reçu le Sodium thiopental... Je vais me préparer


which roughly translates to;

Quote:
Everything is becoming increasingly clear. Thank you for the book B. I received sodium thiopental ... I will prepare myself


and from Bobby;

Quote:
IMMEDIATE INSTRUCTION - TO ALL AGENT:
My superior have informed me that we should not contact Eleanor in any circumstance.

I will be away for a while. I will keep you posted.


Shocked While I trust Bobby (which can be argued against given the "B" reference), do we necessarily have to trust his superior?

Also new info up for March 13th;

 		Received the same e-mail.
New background is the painting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Munch_vampire.jpg ''Vampire' by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edvard_Munch Edvard Munich.
Nice theme song there; Marilyn Manson - Personal Jesus. Ha.

EC's comments on FB are a bit disturbing.. Seems like she's ready to go on a little trip?

BG used nembutal to commit suicide.
Now we have potassium chloride. Could be a suicide cocktail.
But.. I'm more interested in the latter; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_thiopental Sodium Thiopental. Sounds more like something you'd use to knock someone else out.

Also, I don't dig the Bobby e-mail. I think he was taken out of the picture. Basis for that argument; because I told him about 666.php several days ago and this is the first response we get to it.

 		Well, took me and h5n1 less than a minute from the moment the clue was up to figure out the password.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The query simply states "J.Y." I don't know what that has to do with anything...


As far as figuring out the password...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's devilishly simple if you recognise the sigil in the background... Wink


The file names for the letter end with
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"odr"


The unlocked ruin is the equivalent of
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
a


We decided not to contact Bobby as of yet, since we don't know yet if he or his superior can be trusted, for now...

Unlocking this one seemed all too easy...

 		wow that was easy Laughing

EDIT:

The painting by Edvard Munch from 1893 was originally called "Love and Pain" you can see a woman holding a man. but due to a misinterpretation by the art critic Stanislav Przybyszewski it was called "The Vampire"

and about the Sodium Thiopental, I found out that it was used as a truth serum....

Thiopental is still used in some places as a truth serum. The barbiturates as a class decrease higher cortical brain functioning. Some psychiatrists hypothesize that because lying is more complex than telling the truth, suppression of the higher cortical functions may lead to the uncovering of the "truth". However, the reliability of confessions made under thiopental is dubious; the drug tends to make subjects chatty and cooperative with interrogators, but a practiced liar or someone who has a false story firmly established could still relate the falsehood while under the influence of the drug.

and smells like garlic Laughing

also Sodium Thiopental is followed instantly by an odor and/or taste sensation, sometimes described as being similar to rotting onions, or to garlic

vampire...garlic.. Wink

I guess it's only easy if you understand the context, ka was much more easy for me to get than this one since I still don't understand what the password is.

Its good to see that the next letter was A like I was suspecting, once we get past the word "dream" i wonder what it will turn out to be.

I agree, I would've been a bit worried if it was a 'J' instead Wink

 		4th lock
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
image in background is a sigil of beleth, which is also pronounced "byleth"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beleth
yet i dont know what does the J.Y. means Foily!


i think the suspicions some people have brought up about bobby's superior are getting stronger and we should start thinking about contacting EC..
puzzle was Suspiciously easy, maybe we are getting diverted as dredj suggested:

Quote:


Bobby,

I was the one to crack the second puzzle first. This has led to the concern that the security of this qadhos network may not
be as high as first assumed. In fact, I believe it may be a diversion, the notes Beatrix left included.

I think we may be sidetracked.

 		sorry to sound dumb, but I still don't get how you found the password. I'm not so much into demonology so I must be missing something

 		i dont know if this is the method everyone use, but this is my way (under spoiler tag, donno yet if its okay to publish.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

1.in the riddle page, press the "show background" or whatever gives you the background pic URL.
2. once you have it, (http://qadhos.com/m03/c4.jpg) put it in this site
http://www.tineye.com/ it will find pics with the similar content. there are 3 results, two from the same source. in those site there is a pic (or a changing animation) of demon siglis (donno what myth or whatever, you can find it in wiki for sure) under the pic its written "Byleth" which is the code.

but i still dont get what does the J.Y. means, it havnt helped me to solve it, just distracted me from the pic.
