 		I wanted to update on allgarrett's replies (after bombarding him with one-line emails):

Quote:
I know why he's doing this now.

It makes sense now.

Shaggaroth will be there, too, I assume. And the others.

I am too faithful to join them though.

you've only sent 34.

This is doing nothing to m3.


I asked him about the others, and he replied:
Quote:
Shaggaroth, KutKaLasgh, Sheoul and Therius.


After some more "tuning":
Quote:
c n you even speak PhaeShull y t?

0r 4re yo two b$d and $tup1D to learn it?


So I bugged him with meanings of some phrases. Here's what I got from him:
Jengh Juul = good luck
Fyr Koiok = page 33
Iok = 3
usho = human (I think. Maybe it could be "idiot". Same difference to them I guess.)
Yeh IkkShall Paito Zx Paito Idgouidus =
Quote:
it's just a phrase. Like 'god speed'.

its means "for us." For the good of one or all.


I had to break for food so that was the last reply I got, tried more emails but I think he's either gone or asleep.

 		Just as a random fact:

KING COME DOWN is a reference to some infamous creepypasta from 4chan's /x/. I'll see if I can't scrounge up the original thread.

 		Wow, GJ guys. You've really made progress!

New post by Sheoul:

Quote:
"Marcus and Arthur are both safe. They're with the others at the moment.

You tuned better than I thought. You almost killed two semiphillin. The first is in a coma, but will probably wake in a few minutes if I have calculated it properly, and the other was severely wounded. They won't be able to tune at their normal regular for a few weeks. More than enough time.


I have written up a .doc file with some common words, along with how to write numbers, should you need it.

Remember, this language is only of Bhuta and Semiphillin. Nephiti, Therius, and most of our enemies will not be able to read it.

I have been up for a long time doing nothing but tuning, and while I have gotten better, writing this coherently is still a difficult task.

I must rest. Arthur has said that he will answer any questions you have. His website is being secured by Marcus and KutKaLasgh, so there is no risk in using it now.

I won't lie to you. You may be in danger now. The Semiphillin will be able to fight you with greater ease, and they will be able to tell which one of you is attacking, and from where.

Good bye for now.

I hope Arthur helps you understand this better than I did."


Hehe I'm enjoying this one, feels active. It will be good when we can speak PhaeShull properly, hopefully we'll have Sheoul's doc file soon.

So, to recap:

"Goodies"
Marcus (Human)
Arthur (Human)
Sheoul (Bhuta)
Shaggaroth (Bhuta)
KutKaLasgh (Bhuta)
Maybe other Bhuta

"Baddies"
Semiphillin
Therius (unknown - possibly Semiphillin)
Nephiti (unknown - possibly Semiphillin)
"Him" (unknown)

Neutral/Unknown
Allen Garrett (Human?)


Obviously, I'm wary about trusting Sheoul (it still means "hell" remember!). And you have to question whether it was Marcus or Therius who originally came to us for help.

We will need to keep a close eye on who is on our side and who is trying to deceive us - cus there appears to be a number of different demons and all with different levels of antagonism and different agendas.

I'll check the sites, see what I can throw up.



Edit:

btw:

Quote:
"Vaelfhn Usho PhaeShill? Jengh, Jengh.

Yt Jang-ka l fe zel!!"


Possible that Vaelfhn is "teaching"? "Teaching humans PhaeShull/Shill? Good, good."?



Edit 2 (I don't like to make new posts!):

This is my interaction with Arthur:

Quote:

William said...
Hi Arthur, we have all been in contact with Sheoul, obviously there are a lot of names flying around at the moment and it would be helpful if you could help us get our heads around who is to be trusted, who is working against us, etc?

Also, as iterated in my previous comment on your last post - the Lethari Grid appears to be important - can you explain its purpose?

Arthur Graham said...
Shaggaroth, Sheoul, and KutKaLasgh are demons, like the Semiphillin. They are of lower class, however, weaker than the Semiphillin themselves. With that, though, comes a certain amount of empathy. They seem to want to help others, where as the others don't care who or what they kill as long as it serves their needs.

As for the Lethari Grid, all I know is that it has something to do with the ritual that is used to awaken "Him."


In light of this new info, I'll change the allegiance chart.

 		Arthur seems awfully defensive over who Nephiti and Therius are. Which is weird considering how central they were early on.

Sounds like he is trying to hide something.

 		That is what I am thinking too, distilled. Suspicious?

Sheoul has posted another puzzle.

I've already decoded the letters but I am wary about using this email. Also the letters are kind of nonsense? Anyone else get these same letters?

EDITED: Here are the steps for each group of letters in the puzzle:

  • octal-ascii to octal-ascii to hex-ascii to hex-ascii

What do you think our next step should be?

 		Difficult to say. Maybe we weigh up what we know already about each character and choose who we need to follow, who to press for more information etc:

Arthur
Scientist from the experiments in '66. Went a bit nutty when he touched the stone and drew up the Lethari grid - supposedly used to summon the king. He is still unclear how he came into contact with the demons.
Recently possessed/captured by an unknown semiphillin. Wants us to tune with the others and supposedly kill the "King".

Marcus
Also a scientist from the Scottish tests. Escaped the island (how?). Taken by Nephiti and Therius.

Sheoul
A Bhuta, likes to play games, knows the address which we have to tune to to defeat the king (supposedly). Has access to all of the previous notes on the experiments in 66.

Shaggaroth
Another Bhuta, capable of protecting Marcus during the tuning. Not much else is known.

KutKaLasgh
A Bhuta capable of bending space and time. Not much else is known.

Therius
A semiphillin. Took over Marcus and posted on his blog. Supposedly an enemy. Arthur is hesitant to reveal information about this particular demon.

Nephiti
Semiphillin. Stated by Sheoul as holding Marcus. Again, not a lot known.


I have a horrible feeling we are being manipulated. Maybe Marcus, Shaggaroth, KutKaLasgh and Sheoul are travelling to the island to bring back the king?

META:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Kinda feels early to be killing the main guy, especially when we haven't had any chance to use PhaeShull.
