By Althara
Milord Francesco,
I have strong reasons to believe that you and the entire Council are in danger. Avoid tonight’s Council meeting if at all possible or shorten it and come meet me at once. I have fled the Castle with Sherry, as both our lives have also been threatened.
I beg you to hastily come to my Trinsic residence. I will tell you more. Do not speak of this to anyone. There are traitors within the Castle walls.
Sincerely,
Lady Aileen

MONDAY
I am beginning to share Sherry’s suspicions. The strange hooded man was meeting someone in the Council chamber again. Nobody seems to know who he is. And as always, Lord Francesco has been whisked away from the castle, by Captain Avery before the strangers arrival. This seems a little too convenient.
FRIDAY
My efforts are paying off at last. Anselm has finally discovered more information about Soldier Brian, the traitor who killed so many of our loyal Royal Guard during the raid against the FOA in Blood Dungeon. It offends me that someone from my home town could do such a horrible thing.
I wish I had told Anselm to meet me at my private residence rather than the Mess Hall. Fortunately, it is a short stroll from my house and hopefully no prying eyes will notice me.
Lying on the bed A Hastily Scribbled Message
A Message
By Lady Aileen
Milord,
The hooded man I told you about was once more at the Castle tonight. Sherry overheard him tell someone that the Council would be disposed of tonight as well as Sherry and myself. And so we’ve fled…
We will remain in hiding for a while, until we know better who is friend or foe.
We waited as long as we could. I can only hope that my first message found you and that you are safe.
Aileen
Anselm mess hall in Trinsic
Aileen - Ah, yes! She asked me to gather some information for her about the Council and Soldier Brian.
Council - There is a lot of tension and suspicion between the council and the Royal Guards.
Brian - He was the polite, quiet type. No one would have suspected him: in other words the perfect mole.
Tension - There was always a certain distance due to the hierarchy, but now it’s greater than ever.
Mole - He was spying on us on behalf of the FOA. His team had their HQ near the castle.
FOA - The followers of Armageddon, a group of lunatics, if you ask me!
Team - They were a little cell operating from a small farmhouse west from Britain Castle by the mountains.
Farmhouse - Brian’s three cohorts live at the farm. So be careful going there.
Find FOA HQ West of Britain Castle.
Saw Barret The Follower, Wynona The Follower at the farmhouse, neither spoke a word. In chest of draws in far West wall was a book entitled a journal (purple book).

TUESDAY
Sara is trying to be strong but I see the redness of her eyes. She has been crying over the loss of Brian. It is unfortunate he had to be sacrificed for the cause but he did us the FOA proud. Richard could have used his help disposing of that nosy Aileen and her wretched rodent friend but I know he will handle them fine.
THURSDAY
I took the documents Captain Avery had in his possession and buried them in the graveyard. They are too incriminating to be allowed to just randomly float around. In the wrong hands, they could hurt our cause.
FRIDAY
We act tonight…
Travel to Britain graveyard in the South West corner just below the wall holding back the water is a grave, dig this grave up to locate A Corroded Box. Be careful opening it as it has a deadly poison trap. Inside the box is A Damaged Book ( red open cover up book), A Journal (red book), A Scrap Of Paper (torn corner of paper).
A Journal
The damaged book contains four names: Erick, Sara, Richard, and Brian.

By Avery
I’ve received yet another report of strange activities taking place below the City. I keep meaning to investigate but there never seems to be enough time or enough available hands to take care of things.
I’ll try to have a look after this Council meeting nonsense is over.
A Scrap Of Paper
The Scrap has a single word scribbled on it: Eored.
Jasper Britain castle
Give Jasper the damaged book - it was found during a previous raid. It shows a partial list of the FOA members we are trying to catch. You should follow up on his comment. If it is related it might give us a lead on the assassins.
Give Jasper the Scrap Of Paper - This seems a password of sort I wonder where it should be used.
Whilst at Castle British check in the North East bedroom just beyond the crafting room in the grounds. In there a book entitled A Journal (purple book) was discovered.

By Brian
Everything is going according to plan.
Avery was instructed to escort Lord Francesco to an “important” gathering of nobles in Nujel’m.
Lord Francesco is starting to get suspicious of these repetitive meetings that don’t fully require his presence.
We will need to act soon. Erik thinks our contact will be giving him a date for our actions, when they next meet.
I hope it is so.
The Captain was ordered to lead an expedition to the Blood Dungeon tonight.
I have no way of warning my brethren in time.
Whatever the outcome, I take comfort in knowing our deaths will not stop our plans.
We are nothing and to nothing we gladly return.
Death to the Council!

A Message
By Sara
Erik has gone ahead with our “guest” and our contact. They are going to the Ethereal Fortress as planned. Erik still doubts anyone will bother searching Inu’s former cell, but your absence has made him extremely nervous. He has decided to reinforce the security adding 2 other passwords to reach the cell on top of those already existing. I had to sneak this note for you so don’t tell him I warned you. It should not be too hard solving the passwords. They’re Jeebus or Rebus or something “bus”, I didn’t quite understand the name. But Erik said you’re the one that showed him a book about them at the Lycaeum.
Please be safe.
Sara
Travel onto the Lyceum and in an Eastern room on a table was discovered a book called The World of Rebus (red book)
The World of Rebus
By Unknown
THE REBUS
The Rebus Puzzles are a mind titillating, amusing invention. They are usually images, often made of letters, words, images or a combination of them to make a cryptic representation of a hidden message. Here are a few examples:
HIJKLMNO
These 8 letters probably seem to mean nothing at first glance, but think differently! We have the letter H to the letter O, so H to O or H2O. This is a Rebus representation of H2O or water.
Here is another example:
Yourself
Yourself
C Yourself
Yourself
We have the letter C and 4 times the word “yourself”. So the answer is C 4 yourself or “see for yourself”.
And here is our last example:
R
O
ROADS
D
S
We have the words “roads” crossing each other which would translate to “Crossroads”.
I hope this will have stirred some interest in you discovering more of the world of Rebus Puzzles!
Travel to the Ethereal Fortress and down the stairs, stop at the sword tip on the floor tiles and read out aloud the words written on the scroll of the floor there, “masteropenthydoor”. Follow the corridor and to a room on your east you find gas pouring out of the floor and a “Pedestal With Crystal, Engraved O_ER_T_O_”. Applying the Rebus formula to it the pedestals clue = “operation”, gas given at an operation makes it painless, so the first key word to pass the first door is “painless operation”.
Saying “painless operation” at the west door moves you into the room of undead. The South door cannot be opened, on the West wall are 3 plaques, the important one has an engraving: Engraved 123SAFTY456
Using the Rebus you come up with “safety in numbers” which you say at the north door to pass.
You pass along a short corridor and open another door to a room with a great tree, daemons and a ghost. In the west side of the room is a music stand with some music notes that say “futile”, this being the password to enter the north door. Going along another short corridor you reach a room with ettins and trolls, which can be entered. On the far wall is a decorative shield called “concerto”, the final password to enter the East door.
Casca
Royal council - It was a bloodbath! That traitor Avery!! He did this to us!
Avery - All these months, pretending to be a hero, he was in fact spying on us for the FOA.
FOA - They dragged me here to ransom me. Avery left with the others to a secret meeting.
Meeting - I just know there is a portal which requires a password. And there they summon something.
Portal - I do not know its location. Captain Ulrich knows more about the FOA.
Password - I’m sorry. it’s a word unknown to me. I only remember that it began with the letter “E”.
Summon - A guardian or divinity of some sort. Someone or something they both fear and revere.
Ulrich - He’s Captain of the Royal Guard. You will find him at Britain’s Warrior’s Guild.
Help - Give this to Captain Ulrich and tell him to come get me. He will reward you handsomely.
(given “A Note From Casca)
Ulrich
Ulrich - I am the captain of the Royal Guard. Since Avery’s disappearance, I have inherited his duties.
Casca - The Royal Guards are eager to rescue him from the hands of the wretches that have abducted him.
FOA - We have been pursuing them for a while. But they always flee through their portal.
Portal - It is deep in Wisp Dungeon. A password obtained by solving the clue on a jewel is required.
Password - Rumor had it that the combined name of some people must be spoken on an altar as a single word.
Jewel - A rare necklace in the Dungeon which apparently gives the order the names should be spoken in.
Altar - I am sure you will have no problem finding one, or many, within Wisp Dungeon.

Room South West in the Mage area has many items of jewellery on desks, a silver necklace brighter than the others on the South wall desk is inscribed “A Silver Necklace Inscribed With The Letters MVKP”.

Entering finally the area to use the summoning word “Eored” say it near the centre of the room and Melissa will come.
Melissa: Ah…
Melissa: Looking for something?
Melissa: Kronos, perhaps?
Melissa: Oh wait, he’s dead.
Melissa: *smiles*
Melissa: Or maybe it’s someone of a more… manly demeanor. Avery, was it?

Melissa: Pity. You came all this way just to die.
Melissa then attacks, once you think you have defeated her you are left with her “human corpse” whilst Melissa states,
Melissa: “This”
Melissa: “Isn’t”
Melissa: “Over”
And vanishes.
Then Captain Avery appears stating:
Avery: I’m free! You’ve saved me! They’ve had me…
Followed soon after by William the Guard and Thomas the Guard.
William: “Avery! We’ve caught you at last!
Avery : What’s this!?
