Good luck for tonight...wish I could be with you but not near enough.

Remember that Aspen's instructions are at Linnell's house and Oborot will be at Gates House. If one of you could take a photo of the stone plaque on the front of Gates House (directly above the front door/porch) and post it here that would be fantastic.

Remember to tweet as you go along (if you get the chance)!

I am almost literally plopping my pants about tonight...... No.... Literally now.

I've got printouts and iPhone versions of the "map" but exactly what we'll find on the way is anyone's guess. Any thoughts or help you can give us is glady appreciated.

You'll be alright (I think)...!

You choose which side you want to go with...either Oborot or Aspen and go to whichever house you choose. Aspen's instructions (at Linnell's house) might tell you what you need to know about disrupting the ritual.

It might be worth picking those up first, then going with Oborot pretending to be 'with them'. When (and if) the time comes to disrupt the ritual, it might be worth only one of you betraying your real purpose, so as to keep the other 'on the inside'.

This is assuming you've both been accepted into Oborot of course...if only one of you has then JAD will be very suspicious of a 'stranger' - he wanted to know all about who held the camera for my video and what they knew etc. In this case, whichever person is not in Oborot possibly needs to shadow JAD and the Oborot person/people.

I guess a lot depends on what you find when you get there, but an initial game-plan might be useful.

You will be walking from the pick-up point at Wylde's Farm/Gates House through Hampstead Heath to the place of the ritual. Who you have for company remains to be seen...probably JAD or one of the Oborot acolytes.

EDIT

If you have an iPhone you could turn on Google Latitude so we can follow your progress across the Heath and stay in touch via Twitter.

Fraid I don't have an iphone, and damned if I'm wandering on a heath with my lappy :/ I do however have my Tomtom and plan on using it to not get lost Very Happy
That said, I'm also printing out dinky copies of the photos. Or at least attempting to assuming my printer likes me today.
Leaving soon. If the end of the world happens, I'll catch up on it later when I get access to the net.

Think Dagada said he had an iPhone...

On the 'Eclipse' song....the reversed speaking is someone saying "There is no dark side in the moon really....matter of fact it's all dark." Which is, as it turns out, the doorman from Abbey Road studios, where Pink Floyd were recording 'The Dark Side of the Moon'. The sample is from the last song on the album....called 'Eclipse'.

And a tweet from O:

I knows my work now hangs in the balance. Who goes where and does what - many things will be decided tonight...


Good luck.....

Right... We're at the pub and setting off on the path.....

Edit - we've followed the very cheeky path, full of mysterious twists and double backs. There didn't seem to be anything at Linnell's house or the Wyldes, but we did see an odd group of guys, one masked, making a video and occasionally barking like wolves. We ran away.

Eventually the path led us to the Hill Gardens where we now wait. It's beautiful.

Laughing

You should have asked if they were from Oborot Laughing

I'm following every step...

Odd that nothing was at the two houses...I felt certain we were being nudged in that direction. Maybe the PM was trying to confuse us.

EDIT:

Just received a phone call from Ben Vehra. He says he's had his mobile phone and video camera stolen and that he's on his way to Wolverhampton.

And now we've teleported back to the old bull and bush after a random encounter....

We'll check the houses again on the way back... Just in case anything changed. Wink


Ben just called Claw: he's waiting for us at The Wyldes! Cortez, I am you tonight....

Oops.....

We might have done a blunder. Ben met us, but not before we'd gathered a small box from Aspen containing a note imploring us to not let anyone be harmed and a silver heart.

We followed the path through the woods with him, being filmed, and met J at the Hill Gardens. Ben and J engaged in a conversation, looked into each others arms and started to shake. I should mention at this point that J wore a very impressive wolf head.

J and Ben swapped bodies. The wolf mask was placed by a tree. J then turned on his former body before we had time to act. Ben's heart was ripped out. Anubis appeared. J dedicated the portal. He turned on us, so we legged it, but managed to sneak the silver heart atop the wolf head.

Then we went to the pub.

Claire needs to be warned that Ben is much more dangerous than she thinks.

That is just so unbelievably cool. Wish I was there to see it with you.

So Jayden is dead and Ben has his body...and he's coming to Wolverhamton...and thinks I was there....yikes. Shocked

How on earth did they swap bodies?

Ben said on the phone he'll talk with me later on FB. I look forward to that...

Nice work you two....let's see what unfolds. This just gets better and better. Very Happy

Hi Coma! Welcome aboard!

Jayden's not dead - Ben is dead. Jayden now lives in Ben's body. It didn't look like it was the first time he'd swapped bodies, either. It seemed to be some sort of power he had - part of the ritual and it had to take place in the moonlight.

There was lots of filming going on, so I fully expect something worrying to appear on the Oborot page soon.

Just a quick thank you to all involved in tonight's event. It was amazing fun and the amount of effort and planning in putting this together for us is much appreciated. Add to that the warmth and generosity of our PM afterwards - it was a very special evening. Seriously, thank you.

Welcome ComaDarkvale...as you can see you've joined us at an interesting time.

I await the video evidence with anticipation.

EDIT: Update from O...

Quote:
If Anubis set forth his presence in Hampstead then winter is coming and summer is over...


And a response to a query to Genia about Vlad...

Quote:
I would if I knew where they went - she closed the shop an she and he went off. I'd say eloped bar the fact that Chloe looked so serious - no humour at all - and the man with her,Vladimir [though not russian at all] was so.. distant. Trying to work out what to do with shop as this was Tuesday night and it's now 48 hours later - she's not answering her phone and, well, getting a bit anxious tell you the truth...


So Vlad did go to Chloe as we suspected and now he's disappeared.

Just chatted with Genia on FB...

Quote:
