When you guys eventually track down e PM's for this one, please let them know that including UF posts as part of your game is frowned upon, and that posting your own trailhead is bush-league.

Comments on "What Happened" on the Therius blog:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
allen
|=()R7y 2 8fore
Allen
Forty Two Eight Four
40 2 8 4
Btw, both characters (Therius (69 yrs old) and Sheoul (26 yrs old)) are from Barnsley, UK. Its up north.
There also appears to be a lot more to look at:
http://yehxun.webs.com/apps/blog/
http://464748848586.webs.com/page.htm
http://fyriok.webs.com/
The bottom link mentions something called "The Lethari Grid" which Arthur mentioned as important. We need to ask Mr Graham what this is.
Also, might be OOG, but I found an agarrett on webs: http://agarrett.webs.com/
I debinaried the binary on the latest puzzle, anyone know where to go from here?
045066061045066103045066103045066067045066061045067062045067062045066065045067064045067064045064060045066104045066061045066071045066103045062105045066063045066106045066104045060060
The 9 number sequence including 04506 repeats throughout, and the final 4 numbers change:
045066061
045066103
045066103
045066067
045066061
045067062
045067062
045066065
045067064

045062105
045066063
045066106
045066104
045060060
EDIT: Also, hidden message in OPs post.
"We are lost in hell" - correlates with Arthur's description of Sheoul being an old jewish word for hell.

I still haven't the faintest idea what the weird language is all about.
Doesn't appear to be anagram or Caesar(rotated). Could be cryptogram but I fail at those.
Another idea is that it might be a Vigenere cipher. But what would the key be?
Anyway, any cracking at it might be for naught anyway as I think Sheoul has a tendency to muck up the language a bit.
For instance, here this KutKaLasgh says:
Quote:
Yeh IkkShall Paito Zx Paito Idgouidus
And the title of the website http://yehxun.webs.com/ is:
Quote:
P A E T O - I T O U I G D U S
"Paito Idgouidus" is not a far cry from "Paeto Itouigdus" (substitute "t" for d and move the "g").
To me, this means less and less that it could be a simple cipher and is more just a muddled up language? Just my guess though.

Nice job posse.
I thinking its a cryptogram. Ive tried ROT to no effect. So the only other thing we can do is try to guess what words, or letters correspond to the alphabet. certain letter combinations are repeated. Ive been working on it, but havent gotten very far.

Got a response! I had asked if this person knew Marcus, Arthur, Sheoul. I also asked if he was Allen Garrett.

I hope that it's worth dying for that little bhuta.
When he awakes, I you will not be there to witness his glory.

awesome...well now, Sheoul has posted something new in his website:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I am tuning with everything i have to make this clear as possible.
1 have n t been honest with you. 1 4m a de n. They call us Bhuta. Its the lowest kind of demon you can get. The weakest.
I gave you the allgarrett mail because it was the mail you needed to save Arthur. You have no idea how much it pained my heart to be so cold.
I hope you have not sent anything to it. They will know where you are if you do.
I have picked up the attention of my friends. Other fallens. They cannot speak english at all.
PhaeShull is the language of our kind.
I have not been honest and this is bad of me. If you do not wish to assist me any more, I will understand, Usho.

I don't know. After that little reply and Sheoul's latest post I decided to trash allgarrett's inbox with one-sentence emails like:
"Tell me what you know."
"What do you want?"
"What is the Lethargi Grid?"
No responses yet, I wonder if I'll get any replies.
I figure if I'm dead meat, might as well bombard the inbox like Arthur suggested eh?
