Lukas and Carol Because if anyone can fight a mysterious Order, it's me, right? *looks around*
Haven't been back here in a while...
Hello again, back with another trailhead! Received the following email late last night:
Quote:
Dear Friend,
I am tormented by shadows that follow me, watch me, which I do
not understand but fear tremendously.
I fear I shall soon fall prey to the rituals of their Order, and
Carol soon after me. (But there may still be time for her.)
Trust no one -- many offer help but are deceitful. Their
words and pictures are riddled with hidden meaning. I have attached one
of many for your review.
I sincerely hope my plea does not place you in harm's way.
Lukas
I've attached the image to the post.
I don't have a lot of time to follow up on this at the moment, but I'm sure if you'd like to get involved you could reply to the email on my behalf to Lukas erawebSPLAT rocketmail.com.
Good to be back!

I received it too, was just about to post it. I got number "four.jpg", I realized I couldn't do any thing with it so far though. I guess we're supposed to put them together.
Letters look Greek.

Wow, I haven't been here in a while.
I got one, too. six.jpg
Googling eraweb just comes up with a weird deviantart who likes blood and Silent Hill, and some real estate people.
This feels big.
ETA: The pictures look like a dam of some sort

Hey folks. It certainly has been a while.
Got the same email, and the same 'one' image as pancito. Can't wait to see how this plays out.

Just sent off a quick 'I'll help" reply...
Looks like a substitution, right? Turn the weird stuff into letters and see what we get. Late for me, and off to bed. Handing off to the day side.

Mind uploading #3? We should only need #2 after that.

I also got 'four'. First time that I've checked my old email address in ages, just to find this.
I haven't replied to him yet due to general business, but I'm interested to see how this develops.

I got #4 as well. The subject line was "abyssus oris". Abyssus, according to this link is Latin for "hell, abyss, chasm". Oris doesn't have a listing there, but there's indications it could be a suffix. Sadly I have to rely on google for my foreign language information, so y'know, I am not a linguist.
I haven't replied. Don't know whether I'll be following along, I've got some stuff going on, but I'll give it a shot and see if it grabs me.
EDIT: Just pointing out that the combined image makes it look like the location is a dam, probably a famous one. I'm not exactly the most well-traveled dude in the world, so I don't recognize it right off, but comparing it to pictures of the Hoover hasn't been fruitful. I'm looking into other famous dams now to see if I can pin down a location.
