conf dead btwn 16:43-16:47. 2 unkn dead?
larkin dead = arson. culprit arrested. indications mind control
other deaths orchestrated??? app mundane but fire
=/= arson if not caught. check reports again
all willing to sacrifice family. family members = app unaware?
locket 16:43. linette missing 16:46. barrier 16:47.
(found 16:54 - deceased)
barrier = "deathless playground" - joint effort btwn demons + nyarl
well + cabins = POI, but nothing else found since. larkin estate = no evidence of ritual chamber but there's something off abt it
necronomicon - eldritch writing
"We are the seekers of forbidden knowledge. We are the witnesses of the vile divine. We are the wanderers of the [...] dream,? navigators of starless skies. We [...] you, Chaos; we stand in your circle and ask in reverence to [...] bygone days. Grant us your unholy nightmare that we may see. Ia! Nyarlathotep! Eater of Souls! Let your truth be seen!"
nyarlathotep is present in town in disguise - r/o otherworlders, must be local.
public presence. >= someone interacted w/ daily - has to be "interesting" enough to be surprise
- mayor
- yorick
- calloway
- neil
- elias
- dr. winterbottom
- chief constable kilbride
- degas
- town council members
- pennyburrow
- other shop owners? idk
"did it to create a soap opera" -free entertainment, best not to make things boring too soon
four domains: treason, fools, sorrow, dark feast
rites of succession - needed island as 'stage', farm power. can't die = suffer repeatedly, feed domains
cause of most 'curses' that affect island (plague, unreality, visitors, etc)
aster most active - had mendel killed, next target efrain
unclear if demons can't kill each other or if aster just sees it as below him/less fun to act directly. asm latter
'King of Hell' = controls demons' role in truce w/ nyarl - eligos, for now. neil recs keeping him in role for best chances
multiple demon deals + boons active on island. total unkn. knwn: sending stones (cerrit), locket from efrain (nimona), charms from casino (mine, others)
leeds family: founding family of island, japhet head of family. received island and success as part of deal with aster. children part of it. dahlia's birth = domino effect
13 children, 12 dead. parents dead
⁎ jane - 16:29, 41y/o, died in childbirth w/ dahlia
⁎ abel - 16:31, 6y/o, fell from the bluffs
⁎ alice - 16:36, 26y/o, wedding day
⁎ violet - 16:38, 22y/o, house fire
⁎ samuel - 16:38, 16y/o, lifelong illness
⁎ oscar - 16:40, 25y/o, factory accident
⁎ emily - 16:42, 30y/o, missing-dead 2wks in woods
⁎ adelaide/esther - 16:44/45, 23y/o, vampire attack / 24/yo, self neglect
⁎ jasper - 16:45, 24y/o, demonic poss. put down
⁎ henry - 16:46, 28y/o, monster hunting
⁎ harriet - 16:47, 21y/o, first ever parade day
⁎ jonah - 16:47, 20y/o, tried to leave island
⁎ japhet - 16:47, 59y/o, eaten by the Pine Devil just before barrier
cult to aster - found the ritual dining space in leeds basement during investigation > the gala
dahlia = aster's daughter and pine devil, prev
well-kept secret - unclear how much power she holds
went up in 16:47
death = impossible - spend 24 hours as ghost then wake up in random location healed w/ only a scar
travel in and out impossible exc. ferry
no new residents until approx 2 years ago - otherworlders (OWs) arrived bc of mortanne - all OWs must have died in og world to be offered deal
barrier also cut into secondary civilization paradesium - seems abandoned, unkn timeframe? others have investigated more, should look into
aster desc barrier as 'blend of corrupted energies [...] separating Pumpkin Hollow from its home plane' - spoonful of cake, chunk visibly missing but unchanged just misplaced
maintained by deal btwn nyarl and demons, blend of corrupted magics keep it stable
corruption on island pre-barrier = preparation for this? req enough corrupted energy + rituals to kickstart barrier?
