| |
| − | Redland Jack group leaves from Inverness for Sandø Island, with Carl Ellis' group along with crewman John Elwar, and passengers Redland Jack and Henrik Mueller. This island has been uninhabited since a shipwreck in the 16th century which left survivors stranded for several years. The survivors of that eventually founded a clan/cult which would later become the village of Bailey. <br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | '''Dec 16, 1931 -''' <br>
| |
| − | Arrive at Sandø. Stay overnight after doing a ritual to investigate for signs of the influence. There is a roughly triangular hollow with vaguely serpent-shaped columns of stones in the corners of the hollow. They find a hole hidden by a flat stone down to a rough-shaped chamber with room for two people. <br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | '''Dec 17, 1931 -''' <br>
| |
| − | Late afternoon, the Augusta Queen goes on to Streymoy (the main Faeroe Island port), leaving John & Henrik on the island. The port is strangely quiet, they learn due to a rash of influenza. <br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | '''Dec 18, 1931 -''' <br>
| |
| − | Ship stays on Streymoy, where they are unloaded and not fully re-loaded due to lack of people because of the plague. Henrik stays sketching on Sandø with John. <br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | '''Dec 19, 1931 -''' <br>
| |
| − | The Augusta Queen leaves the Faeroes early in the morning. <br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | '''Dec 20, 1931 -''' <br>
| |
| − | Arrive at Aberdeen in the evening. Hansen shows a crumpled ad for Hardeen the Mysterious from the early twenties, brother of Harry Houdini.<br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | '''Dec 21, 1931 -''' <br>
| |
| − | Arrive in Edinborough in the morning. Arrive in Reith, near Bailey at 11PM. After arranging rooms at the inn, they all walk through snow towards Bailey. They are shadowed by a Fae named Andrew, who tells them news. Nearby, Carl, Rebecca, and Auda do a ritual to open the ley line going into the village. Carl and Rebecca are exhausted by this, and Auda nearly goes to attack the church, but he is knocked unconscious by Erich. The group meets at the inn later. <br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | '''Dec 22, 1931 -''' <br>
| |
| − | The party goes to Bailey. They arrive little over an hour before the solstice, which is around 11AM. They find a manor house under construction and a church-like building built around a pyramid, but no people about. The church is on the ley line, and they go down steps under the church.<br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | : They first encounter a giant scorpion creature, which runs after Hansen shoots it. In a room later, they find 30 people in a trance watching a column of light. They are a distraction, a simple energy source for the Lady. In a room following, they find 10 villagers also in a trance, facing a display of four human skins. Constance is nowhere to be found, though. There is a small chamber adjoining this where they can feel a psychic connection. <br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | : They attempt a ritual with multiple parts. They disrupt the Lady's ritual. Auda carves a symbol into the floor of the chamber and activates it with his blood. Using a silver paint pen given him by Carl, Henrik draws pictures of the three guardian statues that he had studied on Sandø Island. When the ritual completes, the guardians come to life. After staying at the back and in corners for a while, Jack inexplicably tries to attack them, but Henrik fends him off. John commands them to take the Lady back to her prison, and they obey. <br>

| |
| − | Parkhurst returns and says he had found kids at a farmhouse and asks Irish Rose crew to help rescue the kids. <br>
| |
| − | In the evening, took trucks and attacked the farm with Parkhurst along with his two bodyguards and some human mercenaries. <br>
| |
| − | Defenders included a number people with the Condition. <br>
| |
| − | Victor was tossed out of a second-story window and hurt badly. <br>
| |
| − | In a hidden room, found a makeshift operating room where someone was dissected along with footprints to a car, and rescued 2 of the 3 kids. <br>

| |
| − | Note background - there were 7 bodies at the site of the rescue attempt, including 2 known Purple Gang members - plus 3-4 blobs of ichor. <br>
| |
| − | Photographer Casey develops his pictures of the burnt documents from the Canada farmhouse. He has lifted out good information on the 4 pages of medical notes, and semi-good information on 2 middle pages of a personal letter. <br>
| |
| − | The medical notes are a rough draft, written in a man's handwriting. It concerns a mutation in the Condition - not the one that Parkhurst talked about or the serum. <br>
| |
| − | Olivia says she was attacked and knocked out in her house in Britain outside Bailey about 1 year ago. She only heard of Parkhurst from her kidnappers - as Regent to the Queen of the Seelie Court. They moved around the world, including Egypt where a rescue attempt happened in Thebes. Thebans set the house on fire, but then Paige St. Mar chased them off using illusions. The boss was not a human or someone with the Condition - he had eyes with pure-black irises, tall and big with brown hair. <br>
| |
| − | Jason says he is from Ohio and then later California, where he was kidnapped from a house near L.A. He says he saw Parkhurst once when he was in that house. <br>

| |
| − | Parkhurst arrives in the evening, fresh from a fight. He says to keep the Katie-Maturin letter a secret. <br>
| |
| − | Matthias Dargon was a mover and shaker from before Parkhurst's time - not a Fae. He implies the time difference and longevity, but hasn't said it clearly. <br>
| |
| − | Doc Walters admits that he was taken by Parkhurst to the community on the 14th to talk to people - he is mysterious about this. <br>
| |
| − | Parkhurst takes J.T., Lila, Lovejoy, Casey, and Doc Walters through the root cellar into the community - supposedly in New Jersey, though the glow in the sky suggests something strange. There are apparently ~300 with the Condition, ~200 human staff, and ~400+ companions and other humans. <br>
| |
| − | They meet Theo - a man in pseudo-Renaissance-style clothes with riding boots. He tells them that the children were kidnapped to be used as tools by Devarney. He intended to infect the children with a disease to strike at the Fae, inducing an atavism to a feral, animalistic state like the "Before Times". Devarney is dead now. <br>
| |
| − | He explains the time ratio of 60:1 with the community, and the Fae immortality - saying the oldest ever is around 1500 years old, while around here the oldest is probably around 300. He refers to the "Before Times" - before the Queen took over 3 years ago. After at first saying that he didn't know about them or their parents, he reports that their parents are dead. <br>
| |
| − | He says that the necro-phage is from Outside the universe, from a dangerous dimension that will begin incursions starting in October in New York. The three communities: Seelie Court in New Jersey, the less civilized Unseelie Court in New York, and the dangerous Enclave in eastern Europe (Devarney's group). <br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | Theo wants to understand what is where the children were going (to get at the heart of the plan to try to use them to infect the community). <br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | Learn that Parkhurst found out that Ricky is in Kansas City. <br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | According to Doc, Parkhurst says that he gave Katie his journal. <br>
| |
| − | The Seelie court was created here 6 months ago shallow world time. A woman named Hanna, who also became Medea in 1929 just before the night of miracles, who also become the Queen. The Queen is a separate power figure - the Queen of Air and Darkness, while Medea is the one who brought the change (in France in 1929). The community was only created 6 months ago; while the Fae took residence about 4 months ago. <br>
| |
| − | The necrophage came here in an incursion ages ago. Those infected go into a 3-day transformation after they seemed to die. They adopt a new name and personality. They used to live alone or in small family groups. After many centuries, they beco <br>me incorporeal Elders. (Vandervecken, who was killed in Kansas City a few years ago, was 700 years old and just recently became an elder. He is leader of the Unseelie.)
| |
| − | There is magical life force, called the Ambient, which started rising years ago and took a giant leap up about 3-4 years ago. A group of Elders contacted the Enclave, who became riders of the Fae of the Enclave, allowing them to survive the Ambient. He says that the Fae cannot do magic. <br>
| |
| − | The Seelie and Unseelie have non-aggression agreement, and were both transformed by Medea. <br>
| |
| − | They arrange with Parkhurst to meet with Hannah. <br>
| |
| − | She explains the current theory is that the space come through is inhabited by entities - some thinking, some not - and the barrier to that space is weakening. She believes this entirely, and wants to help... <br>
| |
| − | Parkhurst found his serum a failure and stopped work on it. He sent copies to Theo Weiss and Mr. Ellis. Hanna asked Parkhurst for the serum; he refused; loyal Seelie beat him up to get the serum from him. He then gave the journal to Heather, telling her to take it far from the Seelie. <br>

| |
| − | Elders crew arrive in New York, late afternoon. Amanda and Maxine spend the afternoon looking through books and papers recovered from the Pentheus Building. Andrew goes to survey the warehouse where Edward Chandler has indicated the collection jars are taken to.
