Thus far, we have engravings from Gustave Dore, we have the engravings from Canto's 32, 8, and an engraving from Revelations 21. We also have a painting from Theodore Rosseau.
Here is the link to the hotel website for anyone who needs it: http://barbizonhotels.com/ And here are the pictures from the rooms so far: The first was fro Canto 32 of Dante's Inferno The second from same, Canto 8 A pastebin accompanying the first Dore asked: "Are you the traitor?" So far, all passwords tried related to Dore and/or Inferno have yielded nothing, but here is the link to the password/googledoc page https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18CdKY6wg052Gm2UNH0jZsDNep_zJNjeQvCyCcWv8cZ8/edit?pli=1#gid=0 And that is basically where we are stuck.
Interestingly, about 2 minutes ago I visited the Barbizonhotels.com and the site had changed to one page with a missing jpeg and the title "lingchi" And now it's back to normal. Ling Chi was a Chinese method of execultion, meaning slow slicing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_slicing
Where did you find that? Also, I remember Ironridgewater from the last ARG..is this a clue or a leftover? Though, there is something I hadn't thought of, instead of password, to put in words in the url
Looks like it loops back to an earlier investigation: Spoiler http://forums.thesecretworld.com/showthread.php?t=62784
Yeah, but then why would our latest clue Spoiler deadsouls [spolier] work? There's got to be more than just a shout out to the previous arg, don't you think? It seems clear this fella was tortured until they broke, that might be the lingchi connection
Oh, didn't mean to ignore the clues, I think just the ironridgewater.com link was a throwback. The website name is currently available for purchase.
I will try anything else I can think of when I get home from work tonight...except for the one, nothing else I tried last night worked, but I am convinced there are more pages.
From the ling chi page... I was wondering at the top part. INITIATE CODE HELLO: Have gun will travel radio mix GOODBYE: Nikolaos Georgantas I found Spoiler http://www.airres.net/np/GreatestShowsOf20thCentury.HaveGunWillTravel.FromHereToBoston11.27.60.MP3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Have_Gun_–_Will_Travel
What I'm getting out of this is Msika is an agent from The End of Days who sent a message titled Warning to people. Hello "Have Gun Will Travel" is a Radio show, so "Radio mix" makes some sense: https://archive.org/details/HaveGunWillTravel_543 Goodbye "Nikolaos Georgantas" : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolaos_Georgantas The second one alludes that information was extracted from an agent - Russell or Msika? Is there enough pressure that revealing information under torture results in being labelled a traitor?
I wasn't around for the End of Days, but with new information from Barbizon and looking into this writeup about the End of Days - Msika was a traitor - to the cult? Can someone fill me in on this? Because that seems to imply that Morninglight is behind Barbizon.
