A TERRIBLE THING IS HAPPENING

reference books detailing myths and legends stolen from libraries...
wikipedia pages wiped clean from the face of the internet...
ancient stained glass windows smashed and destroyed...
historical research centers burnt to the ground...

Someone out there is trying very, very hard to erase all of the possible sources of power and belief of the ancient gods and goddesses. And it hurts. Whilst the powers of the minders are unharmed by the attacks, the gods and goddesses will be certainly feeling the toll: it's now painfully clear that even the simplest of miracles are now becoming almost impossible to perform.

deities, you had better have gifted your minders with some decent blessings! Because now you're going to rely on them more than ever. Someone is out to get you.

Both the inbox and the trash.

I was told to trust the usurper, the defector, whichever it would be, and so I shall. Signs point to this being Anansi, who has given us a look into his e-mail.

Someone must guard the Dead Sea Scrolls. Other targets are Rome, perhaps the Mogao Caves and the Dunhaung manuscripts.

If there are artifacts left and you think they would be safest elsewhere, I will continue to be at my archives in Cairo. I would advise against visiting the museum.

I may be wrong. I hope that I am not.

Spider, if this trips your web, I would ask that we speak.

OPEN.

[sprung]

I'll go to the Mogao Caves.
It's a long way from Bath, but I can't sit by anymore.

It'd be nice to have some company.
Preferably one who hits hard.

closed to craig and sulis

[ofbath]

I've got a bag packed, what else do you need?

SULIS + MINDERS FOREVA.

[sprung]

We can't go by ourselves.
Just the three of us, and we'll get trounced.

We're going to need help.
So just book the tickets and I'll see who else I can dig up.

CAN THIS BE ACTION

[detriments]

[Arrangements, he's making them. He joins Sulis after running through his mental checklist one last time.]

Will you be needing anything else?

NO NOODLES LEAVE

[ She's staring out the window, looking at Bath. Here, she's strong. Out there— who knows. ]

I'm still not sure if you two should go.

Sulis Minerva.
Of Bath.

[ They've never spoken before. It only seems right to introduce herself before such harrowing agreements. ]

OPEN.

[oppose]

I, too, have had it stressed to me that the defector should be trusted.

I have little by way of other information but I will add what I have to the pile; the scale of what is currently happening seems too large not to.

OPEN.

[threetimesgreat]

You have many in your house, Morningstar. Will you spare a few to travel to Syria, now that my Hindi counterpart has directed my attention there? The Ebla tablets are at risk.

OPEN.

[oppose]

I am headed to Syria myself.
I will see if I can bring some of my house with me.

OPEN

[enlightens]

The Ebla archives.
And the War Scroll.
You missed them, Thoth, for the record.

To any of those who are trying to protect the items that are planning to be stolen, it'd be wise to add those to your lists. If only because they were specifically mentioned.

The Ebla archives might be slightly more important if only because of the controversy around them.

OPEN

[threetimesgreat]

The War Scroll is one of the Dead Sea Scrolls, dearest.

[abundance]

Not to say these actions you've suggested aren't a priority, but is it possible to have some translation? The paragraph I am most interested in is:

"Surtr is to await my word. We are close to attaining the perfect कलियुग and will soon have need of the אלוהים מת בחרב of yours."

I regret I am only fluent in English and French.

OPEN

[threetimesgreat]

Of course. Forgive my oversight.

"Congratulations פייטון פן (Payton Penn) on the successes at Нижний Новгород (Nizhny Novgorod) - I am proud to say that all went as planned and the mission to כלא (prison; likely Tartarus) between עכביש (spider; Anansi) and myself was a success.

To this end I am honoured to welcome amongst our ranks the esteemed Κρόνος and nearly two-hundred of his fellow jailbirds - עִירִין (The Watchers, fallen angels, grigori), who have graciously stepped forward to acts as our heralding stormcrows when we finally stir the winds of change. They shall fly before us and have no fear on taking on the deities in battle. I am confident that with them at our side we shall possess the strength to overrun any that choose to take up arms against us when the time comes.

However, before that we have two final missions that will be carried out simultaneously. עכביש (Anansi) is to travel to Rome to secure the second items. The other mission I shall carry out alone.

פייטון פן (Payton Penn) is to ensure his own safety using his follows and shall have the a company of עִירִין (grigori) on hand to assist.

Surtr is to await my word. We are close to attaining the perfect कलियुग (Kali Yuga) and will soon have need of the אלוהים מת בחרב (God dies by the sword) of yours.

कलि (the demon Kali) is to travel to 莫高窟 (Mogao Grottoes) and await further orders

Look for my next missive; it will come when the scrolls have been secured.

Problems, Josias?
Beyond the obvious, of course.

[colubri]

thanks for doing the heavy lifting, mister nerd bird. I mean that sincerely.

what posts need minding yet? I feel up to a little sightseeing.

text | thoth & infernal house + minders

[threetimesgreat]

Whether it's sincere or not, call me that again and I will be certain that you live to regret it.

Rome, but it and the Vatican are large. We do not know if the spider will truly go, but you are a master of secrets, and there are many there. Your serpents will look for you as well, will they not?

[oppose]

I'm going to Syria.
You're welcome to join me.

There is too much in Rome. This will be messy.

looking for an edge?

[ Harr harr. Magritte is Azazel's master minder and so has been granted the ability to manipulate mental, allowing her to provide hell's legions with an infernal armory. It wouldn't be the first time she's offered to lend a proverbial 'hand' (or a blade). ]

Someone has to track down Surtr, but the Norse need help. Fenrir is stuck and the doom-wolves have forgotten themselves.

Anyone with the power to track, to find or hunt, would be greatly appreciated. Anyone who fights hard and still has strength in their bones.

We've been hit hard by this but I can't sit idly by and let one of our pantheon work to kill us all.

OPEN

[seedbound]

They are not my scrolls to defend, but I will go to Jerusalem. The souls that have escaped must be returned.

Others are welcome to join me.

[miscreantics]

I want to if you don't mind carting me around in a wheelchair when I'm not running? Gotta conserve what energy I have.

Not sure if I want to leave Cam and Renee in London or not but I'm betting Renee'll send Cam with me anyway.

[woefully]

Ate means to go.

[ Which means that Penthos will go too. ]
